Text Of Presidents MESSAGE

The tert of President Tru-
mans message to Congress on
submitting the ciDil defense re-
port tolloUs
transmit herewith for the con-
sideration of the Congress re-
port entitled United States Civil
Defense" which has been sub
naitted to me by the chairman of
the National Security Resources
Board.
This report provides a set of
suggested guide-poSts for States
and local communities, who have
the principal responsibility for
organizing and training the many
types of specialized groups needed
to cope with the potential damage
Of devastating modern weapons.
This report also sets forth a
basic plan for the Federal Govern
ment's part in the National civil
defense effort, and recommends
Federal civil defense legislation
and the establishment of Civil
Defense Administration.
I believe this report presents a
sound and workable outline o1
civil defense problems we face
land what the Federal. State ane
local Governments should do te
meet them. g.
urge the memberssof the Con-
gress to consider this report care

a basis for the enactment of legis-
lation in the near future.
Copies of the report also are
being transmitted to each Gov
ernor, and to mayors of our larger
cities. I urge them to give the
report their early attention so
that the States and local COM
munities will be prepared to move
ahead rapidly with their own
plans. @@ .esF.s
In the meantime, I intend to
establish a temporary Civil De-
tense Administration which will
carry forward the civil defense
work until permanent legislation
is enacted by the Congress and
which will provide a central point
of leadership for State and local
efforts.
AS this report makes clear, the
civil defense of the United States
in the event of emergency will be
Of the greatest Importance. The
organization of an effective civil
defense system involves many diff
ficult problems. It will require
the combined, unself1sh work OF
all units of Government and many
hundreds of thousands Of private
citizens. am sure that every
one concerned viii approach his
part of the preparedness task with

manning, South Solon took over
the lead and from then on stayed
out in front. At the end of the
first quarter the score stood.
South Solon 13 Mt. Sterling 10.

away from Mt. Sterling. Solon
connected with 10 points while

Greyhound's came back in the
last quarter and tried to put to-
gether a rally but the lead that
South Solon had built UP was toe
great to overcome. Mt. Sterling
