...completed next June, will have some 500 buildings, a 17-care assembly & repair shop, a 6,300-ft. seawall, 24 miles of roads a 39-mile railroad, swimming pool, clubroombs, hospitals, barracks, and cabanas along the Gulf shore. It will also have a veteran Navy man for commandant: genial, blue-eyed, imperturbable Captain Alva D. Bernhard, until recently in command of the Aircraft Scouting Force.
