Detroit Within Reach
OF Raid, Says Lands
Unity Is Vital.
OCD Director
Tells Industry

Detroit's proximity 10 possible
plane bases in other lands" makes
liz especially vulnerable to air at
tack, Civilian Defense Director
James NJ. Lands told Detroit in
ldustrialists Saturday.=
Speaking before the Industrial
rejection Institute. Lands
warned that Detroit is but $500
miles by air from Iceland, 1000
miles from Greenland. 1,450 from
and near, very near
to Hudson Bay.
'Tn most cases. this means
that Detroit, though generally
distant from sea-based planes, II
but a mere 200 miles further
from actual or potential Axis
bases than New York City,"
he asserted.
Plant protection. Lands de-
lclared, must be accomplished by q
three cornered cooperation" -
between management. labor. and
the local defense council
Emphasizing the need for close
unity in an emergency. he asserted
that "a plant protection plan may
be perfect in every detail of its
structure, and yet be
worthless under actual emergency
conditions, because il is not Co
ordinated with the community's
defense program
To bring about this cooperation,
Lands suggested fouf-point pro-
gram calling for perfected COM
municafions system, smooth
functioning plant emergency or
Iganization, adequate blackouts,
and constructive planning in case
''bombardment becomes more than
sporadic.
While encouraging civilian and
Industrial cooperation, Lands
stated that the initiative for
taking the appropriate steps lies
with industry itself" He declared
that only complete protection
against bombardment and demoli.
tion will help industry to survive.
