Civilian Defense
 To Be Better

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9 - Civ ilian Defense Director Landis was quoted as saying:
 Tt is urgently necessary that civilian defense be stripped down for emergency action"
 Landis threw into discard the office of inspector generals and the know-your-g government div ision. The director declared that neither is of any further value in the OCD. The inspector generals office had been charged with ad- vising OCD on regional organiz- ational problems. Most of it's func tions had either been taken over by the army, or absorbed by oth- CT personnel.
 "KnoW-your-g government" was a morale building division em- ploying 13 consultants. Its work is largely carried out by agencies as the Office of Facts & Figures.
 At the same time, it must be realized that many men and wo- men affected have been serving periodically and volunteering their services. It is hoped they will find other opportunities to serve in the war effort"
