Truman Presents Plan
For Civilian Defense
Washington, Sept. 19—(A 3 )—
President Truman laid before Con
gress the blueprint for a vast civil
defense program to rally the na
tion from an atomic attack and
enable it to strike back swiftly
and destroy the aggressor.
The program outlines a mutual
air system reaching into every
American home and calling for
hundreds of thousands of paid and
unpaid workers.
Mr. Truman called it a “sound
and workable” plan for coping with
“the potential damage of devastat
ing modern weapons.”
He asked Congress to set up a
civil defense administration and
pass legislation needed to get the
program started.
The President will create a tem
porary civil defense administration
to serve until Congress acts. He
also urged state and local offi
cials “move ahead rapidly” with
their own planning in line with
the national program.
Costly Program
Officials said the program would
cost millions, perhaps billions. It
will take about two years to get
the program into high gear.
As to the need for such a pro
gram:
For the first time since the war
of 1812, said National Security
Chairman W. Stuart Symington,
“an enemy has the power to at
tack our cities, and for the first
time in history that attack may
come suddenly, with little or no
warning.”
“Granted a few minutes’ warn
ing,” said the report, “casualties
could be reduced by over 50 per
cent through proper organization
and training.
No Sure Defense
“Srnce there can be no absolute
military defense, an effective civil
defense is vital to the future se
curity of the United States because
it might provide the means where-

$209 Paid City
In Traffic Fines
Citizens of College Station paid
$209 for 43 traffic violations dur
ing the month of August reported
Raymond L. Rogers, College Sta
tion city manager.
Leading violation was speeding
which accounted for 16 fines. Il
legal parking was next with 15,
followed by seven failures to stop
for stop signs and three cases of
drivers operating without a
license.
Said Curtis E. Bullock, patrol
man, “The speed limit within the
city limits is 30 miles per hour
with the exception of school zones
where a 20 mile limit prevails.
Residents of College Statiion can
reach police either at 4-7004 or
4-1228.
Youngsters to Run
City Hall for Day
College Station youngsters will
have a chance to take their try at
city government when they move
into City Hall Sept. 22.
They’ll be running the whole
show that particular day under
the sponsorship of the Kiwanis
Club. The plan is part of an ob
servance of National Children’s
Day.
Students of A&M Consolidated
will. elect the various civic offi
cials soon. After their short tour
of duty, the kids will give a per
sonal account of their activities
while in office. The reports are
planned for Sept. 26 at the Kiwanis
Club’s first session in the new Me
morial Student Center.
by this country, if suddenly at
tacked heavily and without warn
ing-, could get up off the floor to
fight back.”
The NSRB’s master plan calls
for civil defense eventually to take
over from the Air Force the pre
sent air raid warning system. Then
it parcels out to government bodies
the responsibility for all the things
to be done in case of attacks—
from rescue of the wounded to
shelter of the homeless.
Local Job
Basically, it’s a job for local
authorities with the states pro
viding leadership and supervision
and the federal government making-
national policy and training key
personnel.
But today’s report said with
heavy emphasis that states and
communities must be ready to help
each other quickly and efficiently
with mobile, ready-to-travel emer
gency equipment.
