UIS. GETS AIR BASE INBERMUDA

The Great Sound is Being Made Avail- able on 99-year Lease Basis.

HAMILTON. Bermuda, Aug. 24 —'(CP)-The great. sound of Bcr- muda. will be made available to the United States for an air base and possibly for a naval base, on a 9D- year lease. May-Gen. Sir Denis Bernard, Govcrnoi" of Bermuda, iu- formed a special session of the Legislative Assembly Saturday.

The Legislature received assur- ances that the unprecedented step would have no effect on Ber- mudas status in the British Eni- pirc.

(This ivas the first specific in- dication of where United States bases on British territory in the western hemisphere might be es- tablished. Prime Minister Churchill told the House of Commons last Tuesday that Britain was discuss- ing such buses with the United States. It was intimated ilicn that specific points on Bermuda. New- foundland and certain places in the West Indies all might become sites for United states bases for western hemisphere dcfcnce»

A memorial sent to tlic Gover- nor for Lruiisinlssion io Lord Lloyd, C0l0lll51l Secrctary in the Churchill Government, had declar- ed that "the people of Bermuda. are deeply disturbed lcsi. some new conception of American hemi- spheric defence may uflcct the status 0f this zinclcnt (rclony us an integral part oi the British Coni- monwealtli.’

It uskvrl assurance "that noth- ing be allowcd to prejudice our constitution. our government or and con- tentment under Bri rulc."
