Total Civilian Defense will
come to Tacoma only through
total effort on the part of
citizens.
The federal government has no
power to make magic. The wav-
ing wand of bureaucracy. which
has fascinated Americans for
years@ will never fend off bombs
or shoot down psrachutists.
Communities in vulnerable

must do for themselves. That the
Lord helps those who help them
selves il indicated by this war 50
far.
So, il is encouraging to
note the voluntary action
about to be taken by residents
of Tacoma's North End.
At a meeting Tuesday night at
Sherman school they will organize
a North End Emergency unit
purpose: To raise funds and volun-
teers to equip an emergency hos
pitsl.
This il practical recognition Of
the blunt truth that governmental
aid might prove TO be too little
and too late"
1t indicates acceptance of
the harsh fact that Tacoma
by no means is ready to care
for itself in case of attack
from the air or attempted in
vasion.
1t should be said that neither
this spirited action of North
Enders nor these words of COM
ment are in any way adversely
critical of Civilian Defense efforts
expended to date.
They have been praiseworthy.
and those responsible are entitled

these CD workers. themselves
closest TO the picture, are first 10
admit inadequacy of preparations.
Each neighborhood of this
city should move along a line
similar to that taken in the
North End.
In that direction. and in that
direction alone. lies the possibility
Of total Civilian Defense.

We know.
Let us trust il is not too late.
But let Us NOT trust too much!

Sect Member Convicted
OF Draft Act Violation

John H Harris, %. colored, a
member of Jehovah's witnesses, was
convicted in District Court today of
violating the Selective Service Act.
Assistant United States Attorney
Cecil Hef1in told the jury that Har-
ris had failed to report for induc-
ton February II as a noncom-
batant.
The defense commended that Har-
ris should have been placed in AID
classification, the status of a min
ister. Harris did not claim to be
full-time minister. but maintained
that his part-time spreading of
the gospel entitled him to classi-
fication as a minister in the selec-
tive service. His name did not
appear on list of ministers given
selective service headquarters by the
Jehovah's Witness organization, ac
cording to evidence presented to
the jury.
James A. Carey. the Govern
ment's appeal agent. testified that
he had considered the defendants

combatant, but had refused to rec
ommend an appeal.
