WASHINGTON — President
Carter, reflecting administration
concern over the pace of Soviet
civil defense improvements, has
approved a new plan to ensure
the nation’s preparedness in the
event of a major nuclear attack, it
was reported Monday.
The New York Times said the
five-year program would cost
about $2 billion — up from
roughly $90 million spent last
year on civil defense. The pro
gram will require congressional
approval.
The program is not geared to a
massive — and costly — building
plan to increase the number of
underground bomb shelters, the
paper said. Instead, it is de
signed to expedite the evacua
tion of major U.S. cities to pro
tect millions of urban dwellers.
It would involve an educa
tional program to brief citizens
on the best and quickest way to
react to a nuclear crisis.
The plan — although sup
ported by the Pentagon and the
National Security Council — has
met resistance at the State De
partment, where officials believe
a stepped-up program to cope
with a nuclear attack will dis-
suade the Russians from agreeing

the program was designed to

It’s bad news

United Press International
WASHINGTON — An American
surgeon just back from Russia has
one piece of advice: “Don’t get sick
in the Soviet Union.”
“If you do get sick, take the next
plane to Helsinki or Frankfurt or
Nuremberg,” Dr. W. Leonard
Weyl, an assistant professor of
surgery at Georgetown University,
told U.S. News and World Report.
Weyl said Soviet hospitals resem
ble the American hospital of the
1930s and their surgical practices
often are those abandoned by
American physicians 45 years ago.
“Their medications are few and
very often obsolete,” he said. “A
hospital in Kiev listed a charge of
two rubles for use of a leech,” a

The average hospital room has

limited to one restroom at each end
of the hall.
“And, of course, no telephones,
radios or television sets,” Weyl said.
