Navy Spread Thin In Alaska Region

(In an article appearing in the New York Times, Feb. 12, under the above head, Hanson w. Bald win, military affairs editor for the New York paper, wrote, the follow ing concerning his recent trip here and Adak. His article has been necessarily condensed.)
 A squadron of twelve Lockheed Neptune P2V patrol planes and a few hundred Marines and sailors make up the combat elements of the Navy's Alaskan Sea Frontier.
 The Navy in Alaska in peace gathering, administrative and plan ing aegncy, rather than a combat ready force.
 In addition to the twelve Nep- tunes, which are used for ship ping, anti-Subnlarine warfare and ice patrols, two Coast Guard cutters, a handful of search and rescue aircraft, one ocean-going tug, landing ship, medium, and few small craft are assigned to the Alaskan Sea Frontier.

 Observing that local detenses at Kodiak and Adak is provided by several companies of Marines and augmented by naval emergency defense forces, Baldwin stated: This is modest strength, indeed. for an island-studded ocean area that includes all the normal Great Circle shipping routes from North America to the Orient and that extends to the North Pole and to Soviet waters"
 Baldwin said the concept of Alaskan defense takes full acceslnt of the mobility of modern sea and air power. If needed, he said, strong forces could be transferred quickly to local commands.
 The writer stated that the Uni ted States naval establishment in Alaska is modest indeed, com pared with the forces maintained by its Soviet neighbor.

Along The
 Waterfront king Crab Shells Abound On Shore

AOOufaU On SnOFG
 This week Alaska Depart tmens of Fish &. Game 'BioFoigst Guy Powell investigated the report that thousands of dead king crabs were washed ashore on the beaches around. Ouzinki.
 Powell observed hundreds OG small king crab exOskeletons or the beach just northwest of Ouzin Ri point. Very possibly many more. had been washed back to sea be, fore his arrival. Exoskeletons are' the. entire outer body covering which the king crab has moulted- This includes the covering of the, shell, legs, eyes. antennae, gillss digestrative tract, and abdomen.
 The occurance of these exOskele- tons being washed ashore in large alumbers indicates that many king crabs are successfully m0ulting and consequently are increasing their size. In a few years these. small crabs will be large edible, marketable ones.
 Tt would be appreciated if aE peculiar happenings such $ thls were reported to Alaska Depart ment of Fish and Game" P0weE stated. Report to Guy Powell O Roy Hickey. phone .5324..

Senator ]. Allen Frear, general
chairman, spoke Friday night at
a meeting of the special gifts
committee, pointing out that
one of the reasons more space
is needed for better facilities at
the hospital is the steady
growth in this area, which is
largely due to the Air Base.
However, many people who
have come into the community
cannot use the base hospital as
they are civilians. He also not
ed that the revised income tax
law makes it possible for peo-
pie to give up to thirty percent
of their income and get income
tax deduction. 'In fact" said
Senator Frear, you'll find that
it really pays you to give to the
hospital. The tax savings are
tremendous. / feel there is a
great spirit of enthusiasm about
this project" he continued,
"those who are giving of their
time comprise great team and
l feel everyone will do his part"
