Enraorii, KWMM, 1940 THE EMPORIA DAILY GAZETTE Speed Plans for New U.S. Bases Newfoundland and Bermuda to Be Fortified First Sept. 27 (ff) army and navy are shielding- their intentions, with wartime secrecy, but.dirt may fly shortly on the first of eight new naval and air buses in the Atlantic acquired from Great Britain. SURVEY ALREADY MADE. Recommendations of a -Joint army-navy- survey board of experts for the development of 'the two northernmost "points oh the hew outer line of defense already are in President Roosevelt's hands and reports oil the rest are expected to be complete within a month.

'In' the meantime' the Chief Executive is In a posit'jn to save time his discretionary defense fund start work on the Bermuda anv Newfoundland bases, 'without awaiting detailed plans for the other sites yet'to be lurveyed. Even before any actual improvements are undertaken, however, naval authorities said that planes and ships of the neutrality patrol could make some use of the North Atlantic, Caribbean and South American bases as scon as the'exact limits were fixed. WON'T REVEAL PLANS. Just what air fields, channels, docks and fortifications are contemplated will remain secret indefinitely, by present indications. Secretary Stimson said he could not disclose the recommendations for expressed doubt they would be made public for the time being "for the benefit of a possible enemy." This policy contrasts with the advance publicity given not long ago to' detailed plans for the projected bases in Puerto Rico, Alaska and elsewhere which are now being developed.

Toe recommendations on the Newfoundland base went to the White House'Wednesday. Earlier a report was submitted on Bermuda, first of the new base sites to be examined after the historic exchange of 50 destroyers for 99-year leases was announced September 3. The joint army-navy survey group has worked fast in the time since then, in conformity with the expressed wish of Secretary Knox to "get started Just as soon as details are out of the way." TO OTHER BASES. The board will sail Tuesday from Norfolk 'to inspect the remaining Island Bahamas, Jamaica, Santa Lucia, Trinidad and Antigua, and British Guiana on the South American mainland. The task is expected to require three weeks.

Although protection plans for the bases are secret, high defense authorities have hinted guardedly that the intention is to anchor the long outpost line securely by strong fortifications at either end, with the aim of assuring that the Caribbean will become and remain "American lake."
