If fighting broke out on
; Turko - Bulgarian border,
2 front would undoubtedly be
extended along Greco-Bul-
garian border. This under-
lines need for unified Greco-
Turkish defense west of the
Bosporus.
KEYSTONE TO MIDDLE EAST DEFENSE—As map above shows, in any plan for defense
against Russian aggression in Europe, Turkey occupies a critical position between Europe and the
Middle East. Inevitably tied to Turkey in any defense combination is Greece. Admission of Greece
and Turkey to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, expected at the NATO Council meeting in
Rome, will pose the questions: Will Turkish and Greek forces be included in General Eisenhow-
er's European army—to guard his right flank—or will they become part of a separate eastern
Mediterranean command as a second defense front?
Flow of Men, Arms to Europe-
Comes From Base in Brooklyn
NEW YORK. Nov. 17-(U.R)-The
heart and core of the arms pipe-
line to America's allies in Europe
is right in sight of the Statue of
Liberty, In New York City's Upper
Bay area.
It is the army transportation
corps' New York port of embarka-
tion, more familiarly known as the
Brooklyn army base.
It is the largest field installation
within the command of the army
transportation corps: certainly it
is one of the busiest in the whole
army. Its thousands of army and
civilian personnel pull the strings
on the flow of men and steel to
"Free Europe."
Tile pace hasn't slackened murh
since the end of the second World
war. Then, as the era of war turn-
ed to iieace, the Brooklyn army
ba.se supervised the return of our
troops from Europe.
Today, with the sit nation well In
reverse, the Brooklyn army base
is busy sending everything that Is
needed to maintain the expanding
forces throughout Europe — our
own men and those of our allies.
Everything Is sent, from aspirins
to locomotives.
Covers 100 Acres
The Brooklyn army ba.se Is the
largest such terminal in the New
York harbor area, covering some
100 acres. Giant concrete ware-
houses and auxiliary buildings,
piers and sidings arc connected by
13 miles of railroad tracks, tun-
nels and ramps Several hundred
locomotives and flat cars chug In
and out among the buildings.
Facilities permit continuous op-
erations under all weather condi-
tions and only the most modern
types of equipment nre used to
speed freight between warehouses
and the ocean freighters which arc
waiting at nearby piers.
The base Is in constant com-
munication with the overseas com-
mand and order and shipping time
are wBtchcd carefully.
It's no overnight Job; on the
contrary, tlw way the army trans-
portation corps has worked out
schedules, the normal supply requi-
sition for an overseas command
takes about four months for de-
livery. Where does this time go?
How Time Goes
Says the ATC: 35 days alone for
a command to determine Its full
needs, present and future . . . i>a-
per work at the base, another 10
days . . , about 55 days to get the
stuff together and deliver it to
Brooklyn . . . five more days to
load It aboard ships ... 15 days
for sailing time. Then It's got to be
unloaded, etc.
Each command normally should
have a minimum 30-day supply re-
serve on hand and the stockpile is
never allowed to go below that
amount; thus a command will re-
ceive material when ATC records
show that here and there some
supplies have gone below the mark.
As for troop movements, they
lake about a month and the army
transportation corps takes over the
Job. once men arc rcqulsiltloncd.
It provides for their travel from
a land Installation to a camp with-
in the jurisdiction of the Brooklyn
army base.
There, It houses and feeds the
troops, arranges their medical In-
spections, and takes rare of their
every need.

BY THE OKLAHOMA TURNPIKE AUTHORITY!
Your Oklahoma Turnpike Authority saved the motorists that
amount when it voted to pave the first 27 3/10 milos of the ,, _
Turner Turnpike with Asphaltic Concrete—the most modem,
most scientific, the host paving material.
H was a cast of Hit best costing the least. The savings —
$405,483.84, plus simple interest, plus the savings in mainte-
nance costs — total more than 1,000,000 hard-to-gat dollars
on tha first 27 3/10 miles.

ASPHALTIC CONCRETE
Is Best —Costs Less!
Asphaltic Concrete is the most modern, most scientific,
the best poving material. It is the product of years of
experience and thousands of painstaking hours of research
and development by some of the notion's top highway
engineers. '
It forms a tough, durabla, skid-resistant pavement, yet is
flexible so that it will not break down under the impact
of heavy loads.
Its smooth riding surface remains smooth indefinitely,
even after years of the most severe punishment by heovy
traffic.
The first 27 37 miles of the Turner Turnpike will be 2 feet
thick. It will have a wearing surface of 5 inches of
Asphaltic Concrete, the best and most economical pav-
ing material.
Under that will be 7 inches of crushed stone, compacted
to extreme density by huge, heovy rollers.
Under that will come a 12-inch layer of selected, special
soil, compacted to extreme density.
Beneath that will be the base rood bed. All these features
combine to give Oklahoma a modern Turnpike that is not
only adequate to carry the 28,800-pound axle load de-
manded by specifications, but which supplies a high
margin for safety.
• And all the materials used in the first 27.37 miles will be
produced in Oklahoma by Oklahomans.
