1950 that the total tax load is spread equi- tably; that every individual and every business organization is required to car- ry their fair share of the tax load; that no group and no organization is allowed to go tax free, thereby piling up war profits to plough back into business ex- pansion at the expense of taxpaying competitors. We must, Mr. Speaker, tax the untaxed before heaping addi- tional taxes upon the overtaxed. CIVILIAN DEFENSE Mr. CANFIELD. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to address the House for 5 minutes. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentle- man from New Jersey? There was no objection. Mr. CANFIELD. Mr. Speaker, the spokesman for the Civil Defense Director, Mr. Paul J. Larsen, yesterday made a statement which is reminiscent of the statement made several months ago by the Secretary of Defense, Mr. Louis John- son, that if the enemy strikes at 4 o’clock in the morning we will be ready at 5 o'clock. The statement of this spokes- man, speaking for Mr. Larsen is— If an atomic bomb attack comes tomorrow we could give the cities pretty good guidance on what to do to protect themselves. According to this spokesman, and I am reading from today’s report of his state- ment in the New York Times, current plans call for a rounding out of the de- fense set-up, Federal, State, and local, in 18 months to 2 years. This, however, he goes on to say, could be reduced to 6 months if necessary. It is planned with- in a few months to get out a handbook for the guidance of our people in target areas, Last Thursday Coller’s magazine printed a feature article by its writer John Lear, blasting the neglect of United States civilian defenses. I quote a para- graph from the Washington Post of last Thursday summarizing that article: “Washington bureaucrats are saying there will be a lot of double talk about fear of a garrison state instead of organizing the Na- tion's civil defense,” a Collier's magazine arti- cle charges in its current issue entitled Hiroshima, U. 8S. A.” The article by John Lear paints a dramatic picture in both words and color drawings of the dropping of an atomic bomb on Manhattan with a resultant death toll of at least 180,000 persons. In this article Mr. Lear emphasizes after a study of home defense in Engtand that only the British are prepared in the ways of civil- jan defense. Going back now to our reports of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy we find that this is not true; the Soviet Union of Russia is prepared perhaps more than the British in the art of civilian defense, having trained thou- sands of squads in protection against possible atomic bomb attack. I have been hammering away at this problem for almost a year, back in those months when the National Security Re- sources Board charged with jurisdiction over civilian defense had no permanent Chairman, only an Acting Chairman, Dr, CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—HOUSE John R. Steelman, the President's alter ego, who, as everyone knows, was too busy with other matters on the home front to do a real job for civilian de- fensé. Now after many months we have the able W. Stuart Symington as the head of that agency, and things are being done, but belatedly, Speed Js of the essence. Mr. John Q. Public is beginning to ask questions. He wants to know the ABC's, he is anx- ious to know where he fits in the pic- ture. He does not go for the idea that he will be informed in detail after a bomb hit and he is among the surviving. He wants to know the score now and he will do his stuff when his Government lets him in on the know. Mr. Spokes- man, tell Mr. Larsen to rush the hand- book. LEAVE OF ABSENCE By unanimous consent, leave of ab- sence was granted to Mr. O’Brien of Michigan (at the request of Mr, Byrne of New York) indefinitely on account of illness in family.
