THE BATTALION
Friday, September 18, 1953
Enemy Can Attack
Population Centers
The enemy can get through to
attack our centers of population
and industry without notice, Dr. W.
A. Ross told the statewide Defense
and Disaster conference here Wed
nesday.
Ross is special assistant to the
director of the training and edu
cation office of the Federal Civil
Defense administration.
“There is no grace period in such
events.” he said. “Planning and
preparation must be made in ad
vance.
“We must realize that basic
cepts of war have changed. New
weapons-atomic, biological, chemi-
cal-and the ability to cut stipply
lines by hitting production cen
ters, permit this. Prime targets
now are civilian population and in
dustrial centers”.
Ross said the nation should re
member that since its founding,
this country has , been engaged in
a major war every 25 years; has
engaged in some minor military
conflict every two and one-half
years; and that every year sees
some major natural disaster.
“Civil defense is a part of a
pattern for citizenship—part of a
pattern for peace.
“It means a civil population
organized for the protection of life
and property, a populace able to
get up off its back when disaster
strikes and fight back—quickly and
effectively,” he said.
President David H. Morgan wel
comed the group to the campus.
Col H. R. Brayton, director of fire
man training for the Engineering
Extension service, i s general
chairman of the conference.
