MOBILE. Ala.. Aug. 3—<U.R)—
Construction here of a gigantic
U. S. army air base—with an initial
eost of $8.000.000—is expected to
begin in September.
Mobile's harbor facilities played
a major part in selection ?f this
city for the site of the new base by
Secretary of War Harry Woodring
who said that the location for
the new depot was chosen “with
regard to the storage and distribu-
tion of all types of air c:rps mate-
rial and the heavy repair and main-
tenance requirements pertaining to !
the air forces in the southeastern
section of the United States.*'
The base will be established about
one mile southeast of the city and
will cover a large expanse of bay
front land. Woodring said that ac-
cessibility to deep water was an im-
portant factor In view of the neces-
sity of serving the army's ilr
fcrces In the Caribbean area
Establishment of the depot is
part of the air corps' expansion
program, which Includes building
of air bases in Puerto Rico, Pana-
ma Alaska and one in the north-
eastern and another in the south-
eastern section of the United
States.
Initial funds for the base were
provided in an appropriation for
the war deoartment on June 30
but army officers say additional
funds will be requested later.
The base will have barracks fni
