Representatives of all govern= mental units in Marion County will meet tonight at the office of County’ Civil Defense Director Robert H. Tyndall to formulate local defense plans. Gen. Tyndall made it clear in a statement today that no “super” defense agency is being contemplated.

All citizen volunteers will be organized, he said, by Legion groups and service clubs and these groups in turn will be directed by governmental officers. The Defense Director said that only preliminary defense preparations would be discussed at tonight's meeting at which all officers of incorporated towns in the County will be present as well as Mayor Sullivan and County officials. The protection of industry in the County, he said, is of primary importance. Air raid precautions will be considered, but nightly blackouts wi not yet deemed necessary, he said. “We won't need any additional civil defense organization,” Gen. Tyndall said. “We're simply using what we've got. Anybody who wants to volunteer can do so at the nearest Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars post.” Under the local defense plan of the Federal Government, all local officials plus representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and Labor
