Morocco Air Bases
To Be Completed Soon

Base, is 100 miles out in the
desert.
Gen. Sturgis pointed out that
desert construction presented
great difficulties. It was neces-
sary to build additional facilities,
such as housing and long pipe
lines. which would not have been
necessary near cities.
The two bases built under the
crash program at first showed
deficiencies in runways when big.
heavy bombers landed. The con-
crete did not break, but the soil
below gave way. Prolonged con-
gressional hearings resulted.
Gen. Sturgis assured reporters
that the deficiencies, caused by
the type of fine soil in the area,
had been corrected. 1t is now
possible to land planes twice the
weight of the heaviest ones In
existence, he said.
In addition to the sums spent
on actual base construction, SOC
million went to the building of
pipelines. oil storage, off-base
housing and so forth.

The United States Strategic
Air Force this month viii COM
plete its base-building program
in French Morocco--five months
ahead of schedule.
Capstone of the controversial
project will be the $23 million
Boulhaut Base, IS miles east Of
Casablanca, costing IS million
less than originally estimated.
Maj. Gen. S. D. Sturgis, IT,.
Army Chief of Engineers. made
the announcement yesterday.
Boulhaut is the last of four
bases which the engineers built
for the Air Force in the area at
a total cost of $372 million. The
others are at Nouasseur, Sidi
Slimane and Benguerir. They
became operational in 1851 and
1852.
Sill Million Lost
When the program was first
laid down in 1850 the fifth base
was planned at Ell Djeuma Sa-
him. When plans for building
that base were cancelled, $11
million had been sunk into con-
struction work.
That sum is unrecoverable.
However, Gen. Sturgis said some
$50 million worth of supplies and
equipment left over from the
giant construction project was
recoverable.
The French Moroccan base
complex was started in 1851 on
a hurry up or crash" basis after
the start of the Korean War
when 1t was feared that the
Russians might suddenly join in
the conflict.
The engineers built two of the
bases-$118 million Monsieur and
$66 million Sidi Slimane-so

ways within SO days after start

This feat, an epic in Ameri-

to possible outbreak of World
War III at the time" Gen.
Sturgis said.
when international tensions
subsidized, the work base was
scheduled to a more normal or
economical rate of construction.

used initially to expedite were
converted to lump sum con-
tracts"
Initially, it was decided to
build four of the bases by ex-
banding civilian fields near cities
