Civilians Will Control
Defense and Industry
Mobilization Plans
1y .hs Asseeiotsd Press

The administration today
placed in civilian hands complete
control over the planning Of both
civil defense and industrial
mobilization for any war emer-
gency.
Presidential Assistant John r..
Steelman, as acting chairman Of
the National Security Resources
Board, issued orders giving nine
Federal agencies planning duties
under NSRB direction.
The action Is expected to have
at least two major results:
!. To revitalize the planning ef-
fort, which has languished since
December when the White House
began what some officials have
called a quiet demilitarization"
of NSRB.
Agency Leaves Pentagon.
The mobilization agency has
been moved from the Pentagon,
and nearly 100 Of It's officials have
departed.
2. To deal the final death blow
to proposals Of the disputed
"Hopley report" Of last fall. Pre-
pared by Russell J. Hopley. head
of the now defunct Office OF
Civilian Defense Planning in the
Pentagon, the report suggested
creation of a full-time. operating
civil defense Office under the
Secretary of Defense.
President Truman indicated In
March his distaste for such mill
tary supervision.
Mr.. Steelman quoted Mr.. Tru-
man today In announcing the new
plans. The President. he said, has
asked for planning and prepara-
ton for civil defense In the event
OF war, rather than the peacetime
operation OF full-scale civil de-
tense program"
Meantime. officials said, NSRB
can be expected to resume active
work on mobilization plans for
every industry. 1t also has charge
OF preparing an emergency war
powers bill-complete with price
control, priorities and seizure

gress In case Of war.
One Phase for Military.
Under the new system. Mr..
Steelman said, the military es-
tablishment will have RESPONSE
bility for planning only one phase
Of civilian participation in de-
transportation against armed
attack"
This will include air raid warn
ing and detection systems. auxil-

The Federal Works Agency.
under Jess Larson, was ordered
to develop the program Of war
time disaster relief. This covers
Joint military-civilian efforts to
minimize the results of atomic
or other attack on populations
and plants.
The other agencies given roles
In the program were listed by
Mr.. Steelman as follows:

TWENTY-TWO men on the
i playing field and 200 to
$4,000 spectators in the
stands! That's the picture of
American college and univer-
sity towns now and for the
next several weeks. And the
majority of those cheering
partisans will get to the
games in automobiles and re-
turn by the same means OF
transportation.
Because of that fact our
map this week attempts a
sort of all-inclusive tour
which will reach the larger
college communities north of

easy driving range Of Wash

Mr.. Wilson also states that

the exception.
They decided to visit Key West
after having had such glowing
reports of the city from their son
and daughter-in-laW, who are
great boosters of Key West.

war;. He spent some time in a
concentration camp in Rosetz in
Thuringia, togethed with other
leading officers in the Tyrolean
government when the Germans
took over.
While in America he is the
guest of Victor Morowitz, we'll
known attorney in New York
City and a cousin of the Counts.
He came to Key West in company
with DR.. and Mrs. Leitner, DR..
Leitner being the Austrian con-
sui in New York City, and Count
Gioyanelli remained in Key West
while the Leitners went to Cuba
for a short stay.
This distinguished visitor had
kind things to say of Key West.
He liked the climate, and the
general atmosphere of peace and
leisure to be found here. He sta
ted that here there is an unhur-
ried, calm and lovely air that he
has not found in New York.
He told several amusing anec-
dotes Of his experiences as a
stranger in America, but, he add
ed, people were invariably kind
and thoughtful. The main thing
that puzzles the Count is that we
all use lighters, when matches
are given to US free with cigar
ettesl
He expects to remain in this
country until about the end of
April, when he will return to
Innsbruck, and meanwhile, his
American visit is, he states, one
of the finest experiences of his
entire life, and he is enjoying ev-
cry single minute of it.
