1.-Denmark's King Frederik TX
and Queen Ingrid concluded a
state visit to Greenland today
after an inspection of BLUE West,
one of the biggest United States
air bases in the Danes huge
Arctic island colony.
AS the royal ship Dannesbrog
put in at the air base port, the

honor guard of 81 United States
flyers. The base band played

King Is Dinner Host.
On hand to receive the royal
couple was Col. Horace E. Frink,
jr., commanding officer of the
base. Last night the King was
host at a dinner aboard the DAN
nebrog for commanders of United
States bases on the big island.
Later the huge air base was
thrown open to visiting newsmen
for the first time since it was built

The airport's runway stretches
about 2 miles and can handle the
worlds biggest airplanes. The
military hospital can house 1000

Personnel Total Secret.
The exact number of airport

numerous civilians. The latter in
Iclude scores of women typists and
telephone operators.
Several foreign civilians work
at the airport. Danish workers
may apply for jobs soon. Only
