the reduction in acreage for

largely on the quality of the

size of the 1856 crop.

ALASKAN EMBLEM APPROVED FOR ARMED FORCES HERE

A distinctive Alaskan Command emblem portraying the combined striking power of ALCOM's three componet services-U. S. Army, Alaska, Alaskan Air Command, and the Alaskan Sea Frontier-nas been approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, officials of the Alaskan Command announced today. @
 The new Alaskan Command in- signia, it's first since it's organiza- ton as unified command under the Joint Chiefs of Staff in i947, features a polar bear emerging in sharp relief from foreground of Alaska's rugged terrain. A mid night blue backdrop of the Arctic night with three golden yellow ligtning bolts superimposed be- hind the bear completes the DOT trayal. Fe
 The attitude of the polar bear, one of the most powerful creatures of the Arctic, symbolizes the Alas kan Command on guard. The mountainous, snowcoyered charac- ter of the terrain typifies the Ter ritory of Alaska as does the blue backdrop. The sky, land, and sea shown in the emblem are repre- sentative of the basic responsibni- ties of the, three component ser vices of the. Alaskan Command while the lighning bolts depict their striking power.
 T am happy to note JCS approval of this distinctive emblem for the Alaskan Command" declared It. General J. H. Atkinson, Command er-in-Chief, Alaska, for it consti tutes tangible symbol of our uni fled mission in Alaska. ["
