Blueprints Givilian Role During Attack

| Truman Utges Closest Study For - Legislation" “Mayor lauds job of defense group, Page 3. oy "WASHINGTON, Sept. 18 (UP) — President Truman gave Congress today a “master blueprint” for civilian defense against atomic attack. He said he will set up a temporary civil defense administration to function until Congress

establishes a permanent one—!

probably next year. Mr. Truman's 149-page report warned that Russia has “the power to attack our cities in force” and that any atomic blitz “would be partially successful.”

Mr. Truman sent with the re-

port a proposed bill for establishing the permanent CDA. He urged the Congress to study the report and bill carefully ‘‘as a basis for

legislation.” | Civilians on Job |

Mr. Truman said the civil de-| fense document “presents a sound and workable outline of the problems we face, and what the fed-| eral, state and local governments

should do to meet them.” f

Mr, Truman said he was sure

that everyone would do his part in training at Camp Atterbury have that touch with Lady held here | john Kennedy, 32, husband of

with “initiative and co-operation! which are characteristic of our! free society.” The civil defense report outlined what could happen in an atomic attack. To counteract the effects of such a blow, it called for a federal civil defense administration, state and local organizations, and | “millions” of civilian volunteers! to act as block wardens, rescue squad members, auxiliary police, fire guards, and shore patrollers. The report, drafted by the Na-| tional Security Resources Board! and forwarded to Congress by! President Truman, said such a defense Setup would enable the nation to recover quickly from an A-bombing and “fight back.” 140 Targets Properly administered, it said, eclvil defense could cut casualties! by 50 per cent and keep the na- | tion’s industrial power intact. Primary emphasis would be placed on defense of some 140 “critical target areas,” including! all major population and indus-| trial centers of the nation. State governors soon will be! given maps showing which areas are in their jurisdiction. | The overall program carried no | price tag but was accompanied by a warning that it would be expensive. : Paul J.
