Asked if he had discussed the

BY LOUIS r. HUBER

United States Air Force base at
Shemya in the western end of the
Aleutian Islands is being fought
here by the Port of Seattle and
two commercial airlines.
It can do without Shemya now,
the Air Force explains, because
its planes are using the central
Pacific for their main haul to and
from the Orient. Although it is
1900 miles shorter, the Aleutians
route is more costly, according to
the Air Force
Not so, says Northwest Orient
Airlines, which has been flying
this route for several years. Pan
American World Anyways agrees,
and while it flies the central Pac-
ific route it also is seeking per-
mission to use the Great Circle
route from Seattle through An
chorage and the Aleutians to
Tokyo
The Port of Seattle is concerned
because its Seattle-Tacoma Inter-
national Airport is the closest
air gateway to the Orient-the
only true gateway, according to
Port authorities.
The Aleutians route to the Or
lent was used extensively for the
airlift to Korea in the early
months of that conflict 1t I'M
doubleday will be an important
link in Europe to-Orient trans
polar flights.
The Air Force maintains that
since it no longer wants to use
Shemya, it is up to the Civil Aero
nautics Administration to keep it
going. But the CAA insists it
doesn't have enough funds to do
this.
Closing Of Shemya would leave
the Aleutian Islands with virtual
ly no Air Force bases in the 1900
mile-long chain. Thornbrough Air
Force Base at Cold Bay, near the
western end of the Alaskan Pen
insula, is now maintained by
Reeve Aleutian Airways-b t
only to the extent required by its
DC-3 commercial passenger and
freight service into the island
chain.
This would leave the only other
manned air base in the Aleutian
Islands at Adak, which is still
maintained by the United States
Navy both as a surface and air
base
Spokesman for the let's-keep-
Shemya movement contend that
Air Force abandonment of bases
in the Aleutian Islands is a foolish
economy-that it may cost the
nation dearly in the future
They point out that first-class
air bases were constructed at a
cost Of millions Of dollars in the
island chain during World War II.
Shemya with its 10,00O-foot-long
runway was not the only one.
Amchitka, with comparable
runway, also had a "FIDO" or
misunderstanding fog raiser along
its edges; stable bases also were
built at Attu Umnak, Cape Sari-
chef, and Dutch Harbor.
Most of these bases, although
their runways can still be used,
are otherwise literally in wrack
and ruin. Whenever maintenance
is halted in the Aleutians, strong
winds ,beoin TO take OVer-Often
