warning from Gov. who said: : “It is better to be prepared how than unprepared later.” First step in the -program, launched by the state's new De= partment of Civil Defense, was| to be organization of a ground observation corps to function against air attack. Use Radar Screen As explained by Capt. Robert A. Wood, civil defense chief for the eastern air defense force at ‘Mitchell Air Force Base, the -observation posts would be located in or near towns eight miles apart. Volunteers manning these posts would augment a radar screen rimming our coastlines to detect - "the approach bf‘ enemy aircraft. The amount of warning available to any locality in case of air attack, Capt. Wood warned, might | depend entirely on the alertness] and accuracy of the ground ob- | ' server corps. i The over-all picture of civil de-| fense organization at the county Jevel was presented to the com-| munity officials by State Police] Lt. Frederick T. Cretors, deputy director of the defense setup. State Shows Progress State Police Superintendent Ar-| thur M. Thurston, director, De-| partment of Civil Defense, ex-| plained how its organization has | progressed in Indiana since the 1949 General Assembly created _.the .department in what Gov.| Schricker called a “model” law, The national picture of civil defense was drawn by Lt. Col. Barnet . W; Beers, representing Defense Secretary Louis Johnson. He.advocated a defense in depth —tor-hdigntr— i Since Indiana “definitely is vul‘nerable to attack,” Col. Beers advised organization for civil defense in every community, whether attack might be worthwhile there or not. The over-all defense picture, Col. Beers said, was divided into ‘military defense, internal security|” “and civil defense, Action After Attack The third category ‘would not . rather would tend to minimize the effects of an enemy attack and to apply remedial action afterward. Should this or any other state suffer attack, Col. Beers sald, it might. have to handle any disaster as best it coyld, since milftary forces could hardly be spared —for hetp, - : . “The national assistant for civil defense liaison admitted the implications of the hydrogen bomb and bacterial and biological warfare could not be ignored, : “But it isn't logical that the H-bomb will be used to exclusion,” Col. Beers said. “You don't use a sledgehammer to drive a tack.” The “conventional” military weapons still exist, Col. Beers said; and would be effective for many! Kinds of military missions.
