Last March work was begun
on the reparation of the airplane base south of Darurakku [a] on the way to San
Miguel. For a time, however, the work was stopped. Lately it seems that the
undertaking has been resumed.
Eye witnesses say that
they are using about 300 employees and are hurrying the work along. I
understand that at present the gliding ground is being prepared.
