Civilian Defense
Program Told
In Ohio Bulletin
Industrial Areas
Offer Good Target For
Enemy Attacks

Ohio's blueprint for civilian ac-
ton in case of enemy attack or
disaster was revealed today by
the Adjutant Generals Office.
The plan-a specially printed
bulletin titled, "Civil Defense
Health Services"-was written
by DR.. John D. Porterfield, di-
rector of health. DR.. Porterfield
was appointed chief of Civil De-
fenSe Health Services by Cover
nor Lausche.
Ohio's booklet closely paral-
lels the federal publication along
the same lines which was re-
leased in Washington last week.
However, where the federal bull
letin told of what could happen
(atom bombs, germ warfare,
nerve gas, etc., the Ohio plan
outlines what must be done in
such eventualities.
Manual of Procedures
"Our bulletin is part of a man
ual of procedures" DR.. Porter
field explained. He added that the
manual will be composed of sew
eral bulletins of about the same
size as the first publication. Fu-
ture bulletins will cover hospital
operations, mortuary servic e S,
Red Cross services, diagnosis and
treatment of radiation sickness,
protection against psychological
warfare, and the like.
''The additional bulletins viii
be printed just as fast as they can
be prepared" DR.. Porterfield
said.
Ohio has no time to lose and no
reason to be complaisant, the
phamplet warns. This state is
highly industrialized and offers
numerous possible targets for
enemy action, it declares. The
Ohio plan accepts as a premise
that attack, if it comes, will be
without warning.
1T is reasonably certain that a
surprise attack would be attempt
ed prior to a declaration of war
in an effort to paralyze our in
dustrial capacity" it states. "This
attack would be directed against

Monarchs Open Mid Six Schedule
With 62-34 Victory Over billiards

billiards high school was no
match for Marysville Highs ram
paging Monarchs as the locals
took a 62-34 decision in a Mid
Six league game here, Tuesday
evening. The Marysville Reserves
won the preliminary bout, 1924.
The main event was at times
loosely played but on the whole
Marysville continued S h o w in G
some excellent teamwork and
general floor play. But it was so
one-sided that there was little
real excitement, and toward the
end, even the kids didn't do much
applauding when basket was
made.
The game was played before
one of the smallest crowds in
years, due primarily to the fact
that it had originally been sched-
uled for February, and many
people were unaware it had been
changed to this week.
Monarchs Lead Throughout
Marysville jumped into a quick
lead and was never headed after
the early moments of play. BY
the time the first quarter had
ended, the Monarchs were en-
joying a 1913 lead and there was
never much doubt as to the fin
al outcome.
During the second quarter, the
locals out-pointed their visiting
opponents l6-9 and left the floor
on the long end of 1922 score
at the half-time.
The third quarter was more of
the same as Marysville hit the
nets for II points to only seven
for billiards, making it 1923 as
the third stanza ended. The final
period saw Marysville collect Is
more points while billiards got
only five.

Children,s Home Says, Thanks!
Many Organisations Helped To Make
Christmas More Merry for Children

-
kind to us at Christmas time
could have seen the happiness
your thoughtfulness afforded the
children, | am sure you would
have needed no THANK You. AS
that was impossible we will try
in some small way to convey our
thanks to you.
From the time Mrs. Dunbar,
member of the Loyal Circle of
Milford Center, arrived at the
Home with a box full of Christ
mas tree decorations, this was
very busy place. Of course after
receiving the lovely decorations
we had to trim the tree which the
boys and girls did with the help
of Dad Auer and Maxine. 1t was
beautiful tree, reaching almost
to the ceiling of their living room.
When the lights and everything
were on we were all thrilled and
spent lot of time examining and
admiring the decorations.
The Elks sent us a check and
the children spent an afternoon
shopping with that. Many thanks
for the check and best wishes to
all of you.
The Kings Daughters Circles
who remembered their boys and
girls were very generous and
many beautifully wrapped gifts
were soon piled beneath the tree.
1t was really hard job to keep
those packages intact until
Christmas Eve, Some looked as if
they indeed been peeked into.
But can you blame them?
TIL e Redwood Church of
Christ brought over a fine box
of candy, fruit, and unts. Many
thanks.
Mr.. Homer Herd sent candy
and tangerines. The children en-
joyed both and many thanks.
Mr.. Navin brought candy filled
stockings with the compliments
of The Chamber of Commerce.
These wre very pretty and added
to our tree decorations as we'll as
to the children's enjoyment. Many
thanks.
Each year the Columbus Auto
Club sends the children box of
candy and this year they were
not forgotten. We are grateful to
them for remembering us.
Darlings' sent the children
large box of candy. A big thank
you to them.
Walter Asman gave us a nice
lot of popcorn which we will
certainly enjoy after we settle
down from the Christmas festivi-
ties. The girls enjoy popping corn
and the boys like to eat it. Many
thanks, Walter.
The Philathea Glass of the Os-
trander Presbyterian Church sent
lovely coloring books with cray
ons for the small fry to color. AL
SO, some funny books. We know
the children will enjoy these,
thanks to all of you.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Rogers
brought us one of the most beau
tiful baskets of fruit it has ever
been our privilege to receive. 1t
has certainly been enjoyed be-
cause everything in it was just
as good as it looked. We thank
them sincerely for it.
Each year Mrs. Hubert Scott
gives us candles for our tables
and this year the tables were
very lovely with tall red candles
in the center and at each place a
small one. Some were choir boys,
angles, SantaS, and snow men.
These added SO much to the at
tractiveness of the dining room
as well as to the Spirit of Christ
mas. We thank her kindly for
her thoughtfulness.

ner complete by sending out ice

of Bradley's statements was badly distorted
and there was quite fuss Later Senator X"
was identified in the press as one of our
most prominent senator's.
In March of 1850, Oklahona's Senator
Elmer Thomas leaked Bradley testimony
given to an appropriations sub b-committee and
misquoted the General. Last December S,
Bradley was victimized again. At the height
of the hysteria about the Korean retreat, he
told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
in ultra-secret session, from which even the
official stenographer was excluded, about the
probability of evacuating those troops in
northeast Korea. He spoke to the senators in
the late morning.
That WKoxean DunJixJ"
i HE afternoon editions that same day had it
on Page One, but some indiscreet senator had
SO badly garbled the testimony that the head
lines proclaimed Korean Dunkirk" was in
the works. The General was forced to issue
a public statement to try to repair the dam
age. The irresponsible senator was not identi-
fed.
Wary of that committee, Bradley, at
secret hearing weeks later, offered the only
military defiance on record in recent years.
He refused to give his personal opinion" on
certain European arms programs, arguing
that he couldn't possibly separate that opin-

l recall reportorial meeting during the
war with General Marshall, then Chief of
Staff, when Marshall related how he had been
unable to get certain information about their
battle situation from the Russians Stain
had said, Il trust you, but you American off
GERS have to report to your congressman, and
we are informed that your congressman do not
keep things secret" That may have been
merely handy excuse ON Stalin's part,
but it was rather startling evidence of
how far the congressional reputation for
loose talking had spread.
Just on the more recent record, it is incred-
ible to see how lightly even responsible sena-
tors seem to regard the secrecy pledge. In
public political attack on the military leader
ship at Cincinnati last December %, Senator
Taft himself not only told his audience what
the military leaders had testified to on the
Korean reverses. but he emphasized that they
had so testified in secret session!
In October of 1949 Senator X" retailed
to reporters the secret testimony by General
Bradley before the Appropriations Commit
tee, concerning atomic targets in the United
States. In the senator's report, the meaning
