 On Euacuation Program
56-Pa4e Manual Outlines Plans Prepared by Experts = Martial Law Would Make Ob- servance of Plans Compulsory
 Various Factors Explained.

Seeking to minimize Connecticut's death and casualty toll in the event of possible bombing attacks on strategic industrial areas, the State Defense Council today issued 56- page manual outlining the evacua- ton technique to be employed m affected sectors.
 Designed to correlate the activi- ties of the states five regional evac- uation centers with the Red Cross and cooperating federal agencies, the manual describes in detail the interlocking roles to be played by each-even down to the distribution of the four sections of Identification tags, to be worn by every evacuee.
 Suggested Menus
 Prepared by Thomas w. Russell, state director of evacuation, in col laboration with Miss Eleanor H. Little, chairman of the fourth re- gional evacuation center, the man. ual is replete with information as to the type and amount of supplies and foedstllffs that should be kept on hand at assembly stations for use in such emergencies. The mirl- imum supply of food necessary to feed 100 people for two days is out lined along with a list of suggested menus.
 Stressing the necessity of making evacuating plans sufficiently in ad- vance so that the public may be fully informed as to what to dc should an emergency arise, MT. Rus sell stated:
 "Evacuation is more than a prob- lem of transportation. Under severe stress, instincts, emotions, fears and royalties are aroused. Attitudes and morale will be affected adversely unless multitude of details are given advance consideration in the plans both of evacuation from tn, city and reception by the town. Il ever a plan of evacuation is needed 1t will be too late to make 1t Wher 1t is needed.
 "Fortunately, the possibility O widespread evacuation still seem remote, but only groundlesS optim' ism would write oil as unlikely th' bombing of some of our cities. Whei such events occur, our people mus be fortified by the realization tha complete plans have been developed which are ready to go into immedi ate action if need be, and whicl will provide protection eSpeciall for the children by removing then in some instances with their moth CTS to places of greater safety"
 The manual anticipates three pos sible emergencies that might brln about an evacuation order. The tirs would result from bombing or sabo tage demolishing or making unin habitable so many homes that tn occupants could not be cared to elsewhere in the city. The secon contingency would be conttnuou bombings to such an extent tha parents might hesitate to send thei children to school. The third an ticipates that the state or a DOT ton thereof might became a com bat area. Tn any event no evacua ton would be carried out while tn area involved was under enemy al tack. Evacuation steps could onl be instituted on a direct order froi the Accommodating at the reque: of local ofYlcials--or military author ities in charge.
 Types of Evacuation
 The manual recognizes four di' tinct types of evacuation:
 Voluntary efforts by famtli' either to transport themselves their children to areas where dang is deemed less great. Such voluE tary migration in advance of actu bombings probably would be ei couraged by the state through sui able publicity but the proble would not afIect the evacuation Q ficer of the particular territory Il vclved.
 Post-disaster evacuation antiC pates the possibility that bonn might demolish or make uninhanl able the homes of many 1amii whose members are employed In " industries where 1t would be of u utmost importance to mainta production. In such cases the eva iiatiOn urocedIire would entail effol to shelter the workers by hotisii them in other homes in the COT munity or within easy coinmutl distance.
