T MHE M I CHIG/N DAYLY TURSY, APRIL 24, 1941 Professor Hobbs Refutes Statement Of Lindbergh ASSOCIATED war- P 0 C om ow II V RE PRESS Sharp issue with a recent state- ment by Charles A. Lindbergh mini- mizing the utility-of Greenland-now a United States protectorate-for naval and air bases was made last week by Prof. Emeritus William H. Hobbs of the University, an inter- nationally recognized authority on that northerly island. A geologist and the leader of three expeditions to Greenland, Professor Hobbs rebuked the famous aviator, recalling that under his leadership "an excellent landing field" had been constructed in "west Greenland which might have been, and now could be. made miles in length and at least a half mile in width with a perfect level floor of hard clay." Lindbergh, who has made a Green- land flight for Pan American Airways, had asserted that "Greenland's to- pography and climate made the island unusable as an air or naval spring- board for an invasion of North Ameri- ca from Europe," and, "flying condi- tions in Greenland would be among the most difficult in the world and that naval operations would be handi- apped because of ice." Hobbs Scores Lindbergh Hobbs took issue with the flier on all points, and said that "if Lind- bergh were better informed'and were interested to promote rather than obstruct the defense of this hemi- sphere, he could have told the coun- try what experience has shown, that the climate of Greenland is on the whole not unfavorable for flying, and that the topography in some sec- tions of the coast land (fortunately in the strategic ones) is well adapt- ed for both naval and air bases." On the basis of his geological train- ing and.actual experience in Alaska, Professor Hobbs stated his refuta- tion of Lindbergh's position thus: "In the year 1930-31 seaplanes of the British expedition to east Green- land flew over wide areas of the coast and also the inland ice throughout every month of the year and without a single major accident. For years the Danish government has with suc-4 cess employed seaplanes for mapping3 the coastland of this great island ex- tending well into the hinterland, both on the west and in the remote north- east. "This certainly could not have been done if flying conditions were so un- favorable as is asserted by Colonel, Lindbergh. Suitable Areas Available "There are moreover a number of areas suitable for landing fields for planes with wheel undercarriages andI in 1929 I myself prepared an ex-i cellent field of this type. Anne Lind-i bergh's book shows) that Lindberghl flew over this very field and so must have seen it. "As regards the climate of Green- land it is almost without fog---20 foggy days a year within the most strategic area-and though the storm winds are both frequent and fierce, they clear the winter snow off the landing fields. "The handicap' of ice in reaching Greenland applies especially to the -ast coast (which Lindbergh has seen) out within the strategic area of south Greenland 'the ports remain open throughout the year. Germans Established Stations "The Colonel tells us that Green- land is 'unusable as a springboard for in invasion of North America from Europe,' yet the Germans in 1929-30 nd 1930-31' established stations in Greenland and subsequently a 'film- ing' expedition there, under one of 1-Iitler's friends, carefully looked up the best landing fields and saw to it that the Danes at once carried out weather observations on each of these fields for several years." As reported in an editorial of the Chicago Daily News entitled, "Hobbs vs. Lindbergh," the majority of both interventionists and isolationists are "delighted with the Greenland acqui- sition as a protectorate." Hobbs. himself, conceives of Greenland as a 1*-lfway point "to the British Isles within American waters," from which "both planes and destroyers based on south Greenland can play a large role in running down German raiders of all types, and from which cargoess bound for Britain can proceed." Prof essor Brown Attends Conclave Prof. G. G. Brown of the chemical and metallurgical engineering depart- ment will be im, Dallas, Tex., today and tomorrow for meetings of a con- vention of the Natural Gasoline Asso- ciation, Prof. A. H. White, chairman of the department, announced yes- terday. Although he is not presenting a personal paper at the meeting, Pro- fessor Brown has been asked to head a discussion on "Hydrates of Natural Gas," and will act in this capacity. The convention started yesterday and will run through Friday.
