TRAINING FOR
DEFENSE SOON
Civilian Volunteer Auxiliary
to Hold Training Exercises
at Observation Posts
GROUND OBSERVATION

GROUND OBSERVATION
Training exercises for the
Ground Observer Corps, civilian
volunteer auxiliary for the contin-
entail defense of the United States,
will take place on November and
5, Headquarters of the Eastern Air
Defense Force announced Monday,
october 16.
The areas of the Eastern Air De-
tense Force lies east of the 1O3rd
meridian along the eastern slope of
the Rocky Mountains, although
the geographical extent of the OBJ
server training will be governed by
the number of observation posts
which will be stated and equipped
by october %.
"Staffed and equipped" means
that a post has been physically
established, that sufficient volun-
teer observers are available to man
it, and that a telephone is within
IS seconds reach. EADF wants
61OO such locations with $4,000
observers.
'9That is the target" EADF said,
although we realize that it has
not been sufficiently attained for
us to work all post locations in
the Forthcoming exercise. For
those posts that have enough per-
sonnel and the necessary telephone
communications we believe the
proposed training will be most
helpful for observers to appraise
themselves and for us to gauge
the speed and accuracy of that
portion of the observer structure
which is already in existence"
Location of posts is agreed upon
between the Air Force and the
gubernatorial designee OF each
state. and under state civil defense
authorities locally appointed sup
ervisors undertake recruiting OF
the men and women volunteers as
observers for each post. Observers
telephone tolls reports over lines
already installed by private sub
scribers are paid for by the FEEDER
al Government.
Eastern Air Defense Force Is
charged with radar protection ano
fire-interceptor operations east O
the Rocky Mountains, and it is tC
supplement the radar protection
that the Ground Observer Corps il
being formed. 1t will function
along the lines of a similar volun
teer organization, which, will
much less radar, served the coun
try throughout World War II. Tht
Air Force has explained that i
wants the new Ground Observer
Corps to supplement its new radal
facilities because a radar beam vii
not 'bend" beyond hilltops anC
mountains and loses its effective
ness at low attitudes.
The November exercises vii
take place on Saturday and Sun
day between the hours of am
and 6 pm. All aircraft, private
commercial and military, whicl
are spotted by ground observer
will be reported to the Air Fore
Filter Center nearest the observa
ton post. At the Filter Cente
reports from neighboring post
Smyrna times., 1950-10-26

will be correlated until the tracks
of the aircraft is determined and
relayed to an Air Force Ground
Control Intercept Station, where
defensive action may be ordered.
Under emergency conditions, re-
ports of observation posts would
be consolidated with radar sight
ing, when available, and intercept
ing aircraft would be vectored to
an attacking force.
25 Observers to Each Post
Although the coming weekend
of training will take place during
the daytime, and emergency would
require the operation of observa-
tion posts continuously for "a
hours. For this reason, it is desir-
able to have a minimum of 25 OBJ
servers for each post. Independ-
emily or in conjunction with radar,
an observation post could be first
point for the start of interception
action and notice to key point air
raid warning centers in each state,
for execution of local civil defense
plans. Letters are being sent to
State Directors of Civil Defense
and supervisors of observation
posts notifying them of the exer-
else and urging them toward COM
pletion of their part in the OBJ
servation Corp network.
Aside from explaining a require
ment for the major portion of the
observation posts reporting to each
Filter Center to be completely
ready to operate, a letter to state
authorities said, with the initial
victory of the United Nations in
Korea, we must guard against a
natural inclination to relax our
preparations for defense" The
Eastern Air Defense Force stated
that the number of observation
posts which will be stated and
equipped for operation in early No
vember is insufficient for largscale
tactical evaluation of the exercise.
''The two days of coordinated
training, however, are expected to
iprovide some practical application
of what the observers have been
taught in theory" EADF head
quarters said. "It is hoped that
the exercise will stimulate interest
among those who have already
I volunteered as observers and at
the same time help post supervis-
ors in recruiting more of their re-
uuirements. The Air Force part
in the undertaking will include full
scale operation of our Filter Cent
ers and provision Of specially as
signed aircraft flying relatively
low over the areas where observer
posts are known to be sufficiently
organized"
Each Filter Center, along with
the telephone companies, will
maintain a record of reporting
traffic. and in this way the All
Force hopes to obtain an approx
i1nation Of the speed and accuracy
with which observers function ir
the exercise.
The Eastern Air Defense Force
has allocated thirty 500 Grounc
Observation Stations for the State
of Delaware for organization. The
following is list of locations
along with the names of Chief Su
pervisors for each county fol

Mr.. Ray said he would prefer

that "at least $50 to ITS have in

He cited, for example, a provi-
sion of the agreement which
would make it impossible for the
board of the cooperative to can

He also pointed out that while
the brochure explaining features
of cooperative sale provided for
a "five-year guarantee against
increase of operating costs in ex-
cess of 10 per cent" the option
agreement would allow Realest
Corp. to assume control over ex-

Likewise. he said, the guaran-
tee refers only to operating

which might result from capital
improvements, and would not in
clude expenditures for real estate

In connection with what the
brochure refers to as a privilege
of withdrawal during first three

Philipson said:
This seems to mean that if a

loss. the member is not reim-
bursed for his loss"
MIR. Philipson said the cooper
ative member would be required,
under the contracts being offered,
to keep his own apartment in
good order at his own cost and

property in repair, such repair
would not include interior paint

Hondmode Croft Items Receiving Wider Recognition
By GIodys Miller
Secretary, New York chaper,
Americon institute of Decorators


Amerieun institute of Decorators
Slowly, but surely, good crafts
manship and design in the hand
made crafts are receiving wider
and wider appreciation in this
country.
This appreciation is demon
strated in the demand for hand
made items regardless of price,
and in the same demand for
power made articles inspired by
the same handmade prototypes.
This interest is worldwide. We
can be thankful that it is not a
synthetic movement but spon-
taneous one. 1t has been started
by individuals forced by economic
conditions to seek a new means of
expression and a new method of
earning living.
Sometime history may record
that the only security one can
have is the ability to create and
carry through a new idea to COM
pletion. Anyone capable Of doing
things with his hands falls into
this category.
Among one Of our best artists,
designers, craftsmen and teachers
is Marianne Strengell, whom we
adopted from Helsingfors, Fin
land. Her father was an architec-
tural critic and writer. Her mother
was an interior decorator.
In our depression thirties, Eliel
Saarinen and Carl Miles, her
countrymen, who had preceded
her, invited her to come to Michi-
gan to teach in the Cranbrook
Art Academy. At Cranbrook, she
has perfected a greatly simplified,
but thorough, method of creative
teaching which makes weaving
much quicker to learn than by
the old Swedish or Colonial meth
ods.
Miss Strengell insists that her
students develop their own origt-
nal ideas, rather than copy or
adapt designs.
That she has been successful
is evidenced by the success Of
her many students, who have
proved to be accomplished pro-
fessional weaverS and designers
for power looms as we'll as hand
looms. They also are among the
ranks of prominent teachers and
careeriStS.
Many of Miss Strengths hand
woven fabrics, as well as those
she designs for the power looms,
are used by decorators in the
discriminating American home o.
today.
She is also adept in other forms
of design, creating beautiful rugs.
and prints and furniture designs,
to complement her woven ma
terials. Her own home is a per-
feet example of this.
Included with this article is a
lovely view of Miss Strengths
own living room where she lives
with her husband, Olav Ham
mestrom, and her two children,
Sandra and Chris, both young,
lively, and talented in the crafts
The colors are mostly off-white,
gray and black, but there is a
strong blue in the curtains, in
spired by the blue in the print
which hangs on the wall. The
furniture, rugs. draperies and up
holstery were all created by Mari
anne Strength except for the
chairs.

Fugitive Case Move
Ruled 'Subterfuqe'

District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoff yesterday declared the
Government used "subterfuge" in
seeking a mans return to Georgia
to face a liquor conspiracy in
dictment.
The case came up here in the
form of a removal hearing. Judge
Holtzof held the Government
actually wanted the man, Mack
McCollum, 80, colored, returned
to Georgia to testify as a witness
against five co-defendants. He
then held it was subterfuge to
seek McCollum's return as a de-
fendant when he really was want
ed as a witness.
McCollum, who lives here, in
the 600 block of Quincy street
NV. testified at the removal
hearing that he was afraid to
testify in Georgia against the
white folks" who are defendants
in the case. He told the court
they had threatened to kill him
if he did.
The court was informed Nc
Collum had offered to plead guilty
here in the case, but Georgia
authorities were unwilling for
him to do so.
Judge Holtzoff ordered McCol-
lum released on his personal bond
and gave the United States At
torney's Office until March 20 to
decide what other action it may
take.
The Georgia indictment charges
conspiracy to defraud the Gov
ernment of taxes on Illegally
manufactured liquor.

English 'Ex-Spy' Says
Many Reds Have Top
Jobs in Britain, u. ).
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 9.-An English
man who claims he spied for
Russia said yesterday that there
are large numbers of secret Com
munists in positions of trust in
the United States and Britain"
Alexander Foote, A. said he
helped operate a Russian spy net
work against Germany for five
years until 1943 in Switzerland.
He told the magazine News
Review:
cat the end Of the war I was
in Moscow being prepared for a
new espionage job-to set up an
anti-American network in Mexico
and the Argentine. And I was
told hat I would have more than
1000 contacts in America alone.
From my own experience I
know that no government de-
partment is beyond the range of
the theological fanatic who puts
the (Communist) Party before
country"
The Foreign Office refused COM
ment on Mr.. Foote's published
statement. A spokesman could
not say whether the Foreign Of
flee had a file on him. Scotland
Yard also refused comment.
Mr.. Foote, Yorkshireman, told
the magazine he was recruited for
the Russian spy service in 1887
after fighting for the Internation-
al Brigade against Francois forces
in Spain.
He quit, he said, when German
counter er-espionage agents gave
this setup away to the Swiss au-
! thorities.
Mr.. Foote said no members of
the spy network are Soviet ma
tionals because they are obvious
| targets for SUSPICION.
