Delaware Park
Use In Bomb
Crisis Studied
State Civil Defense Di-
rector Lee Says Vast
Plant Could Serve AS
Evacuation Center.

The use of the grandstands at
Delaware Park as an assembly area
and the tellers' windows as regis
tratiOn desks are among the ten
tative plans of the Civil Defense
Red Cross agencies geared to take
care of evacuation of large groups
Of people in northern Delaware in
the event of a serious bomb attack.
This was disclosed this week by
Lieutenant Colonel D. Preston Lee,
state civil defense director, as a re-
suit of the decision of the officials
of Delaware Park to make the track
and its facilities available to Civil
Defense and Red Cross in the event
Of a bomb attack.
Confer On Program
Colonel Lee in his outline of the
possible use of Delaware Park ia
cilities, said tentative plans were
based on a thorough survey of the
facilities and consultation with
George H. Hall, Jr., chief of the
temporary shelter program of the
Delaware Chapter of the American
Red Cross.
In a letter to Bryan Field, vice
president and general manager of
Delaware Steeplechase and Race
Association which operates Della
ware Park, Colonel Lee stated:
Several Uses Urged
due to the existence Of heat
ing facilities, Delaware Park prob
ably would be adaptable for use as
a collection point or reception sta
ton. By this / mean that plans
could be developed for the orderly
evacuation of persons from a deV-
astated area by both train and mo-
tor transportation to the Delaware
Park. Upon arrival, the grand
stands would be utilized as an as
sembly area where the evacuees
could be instructed on how the re-
mainder of their care will be ad-
ministered, and families could be
reassembled
