Civil Defense
Agencies Move
Into Action
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Across the nation Civil Defense
agencies and officials sprang into
action Wednesday to meet with all
available resources any emergency
arising from the Cuban situation.
There was no panic, but there
was fast action to review proced
ures and measures already taken,
designate new shelters, and stock
them with necessities for survival.
In Tampa, Fla., residents
stocked upon guns, ammunition,
canned goods and battery-operated
transistor radios. They snapped
up Civil Defense booklets and
swamped city officials with calls
on emergency procedures. School
officials, meanwhile, held meetings
to brief principals on how to pro
tect youngsters in any emergericy.
Numerous meetings at all levels
were called to study the current
state of preparations and make
plans for the future. The emphasis
was on moving quickly to aug
ment present arrangements to the
fullest degree possible.
In some areas civil defense
headquarters were deluged with
calls from citizens seeking the loca
tion of public shelters and other
information on what to do in the
event of enemy attack.
In other cases, builders of home
shelters—whose business has been
generally at a low ebb in recent
months—suddenly found their tele
phones jangling with requests for
fast construction.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York, chairman of the Civil
Defense Committee of the Gover
nors’ Conference, called an emer
gency meeting for Saturday morn
ing at the Pentagon in Washington.
'The conference is an organization
of governors.
Many Civil Defense offices were
being kept open extra hours to
Answer inquiries.
