By ROY,» CALVIN United Press Staff Correspomdent WASHINGTON, Jan, 12—Pres{dent Truman sternly warned the nation today it is not prepared to defend itself at home against atomic attack and called for 15.5 million more volunteers 'for the « ¢ivil defense program.

If war comes to America, we mav well win or lose as the result of how ready we are when the first. attack comes.” the President said If an enemy is unable to crush our will to fight and cripple our production lines, then he cannot win a war against America.” The President made his appeal fn the face of persistent congressional refusal to meet his demands for adequate civil defense appropriations. .

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 12 (UP) —Actress Jane Russell said today she is going to have her sweaters fireproofed. : She is not going to take any chances on them going up in smoke as has happened with some inflammable sweaters.
Actress Marie Wilson, another sweater girl, said she, too, was alarmed by the
sweater situation, but for dif‘ferent reasons, “I think a girl takes a risk every time she puts on a sweater, but not just because of fire—if you. know what I mean,’ she said.
Individuals and officials who tested the sweaters with lighted matches said they burned to ashes in a few seconds. In most of the -avcidents, the garments burned wearers when cigarets were lighted. In Atlanta, Ga.,, W. L. Eberhard's sweater burned while he was standing
