Best A-Bomb Defense For Cities of 1 Million

Experts Figure Limit on Casualties To Three Miles Within Area of Burst

The Defense Department has received a blueprint for setting | up a vast civil defense program in the event of atomic war. The subject has been worrying officials ever since Hiroshima. Next Congress probably will be asked to do something about it. Because the great majority of casualties would be civilians, not soldiers. This dispatch tells what would happen to the people of 8 target eity. It is based on official reports and em published statement by atomic experts.

All of us are absolutely safe from the bomb until an enemy gets it and decides to use it against us.
