There have been vague reports oul of Europe from time to lime that such base was under construction. The latest reports comes from a Chicago Daily News correspondent, at Bonn who quotes German sources as saying work on the base began in 1048; that it has pens capable of handling .100 subs under 300-foot cliffs and guarded by air bases and rocket launchers.

If this report is true it is one of the most important pieces of military news in recent years. It i.s logical enough to think the Russians would want such a base. Albania has been a steady ally of the Soviets even though her northern neighbor Yugoslavia saw fit to break with Stalin in 1948 and travel an independent course. Russia long has sought, a means of gaining access to the Mediterranean Sea without depending on passage through the Trukish-con- trolled Dardanelles and Bosporus. Valona, guarded its entrance by the island of Saseno; is 70 miles east-southeast across the Straits of Olranto from the Italian port of Brimlisi.

Trough tho.se straits pass all shipping entering the Adriatic Sea, lined by the east coast of Italy and the western coasts of Yugoslavia and Albania. Further, Valona lies but 275 air miles from the American naval base at Naples, Italy; air miles from the British naval and air ha.ic a I and only 800 air miles across Greece from the, British base; al Cypnii. A Valona base would project. Russian seapov.rr into the heart of the Mediterranean. The Navy estimates Russia has about.
