Some persons familiar witn the peculiar geological formations of the Aleutians say the rock on Kiska, extremely hard and glasslike, may have proved too much for I excavation, forcing the airplane : runway builders to fill in depressions for their projected airfields rather than knocking off humps. This would be a longer and more laborious process. ' It Is barely possible that the enemy may never be able, under war conditions, to build a runway long and smooth forlxJmbers even if he is able to hold the Islands indefinitely.
