Men Of 45th Are Reconciled To An Extension Of Time
Camp Barkeley Texas June 30 Special Officers and enlisted men of the 45th division were reconciled to an extension of service beyond one year due to a national emergency.

A speculative analysis warns that if Germany defeats the Soviet Union within three months, the Nazis could reach from Berlin toward Alaska by crossing Siberia, risking a war in the Arctic with long supply lines, extreme weather, and heavy American dependencies on U.S. bases for defense and logistics. The piece notes Soviet air ports along the Arctic corridor and a large Soviet force near Vladivostok, arguing the trans-Siberian line would be decisive if the Germans can break through.
