ITEM.

He added that Mr.. Dunlap re-
quested the opportunity to testify

ties totaling S2,230.000 to remain
outstanding against William G.

scribed as a rackets boss in that
area.

him from serving a prison SEN
tence in a tax case.

Associated Press Military Affoirs Reporter
The melancholy air which some
high military. officials feel pre-
walls in the American civilian
population may originate in part
from the dark picture of atomic
menace the government itself is
painting.
Certainly it may be said that all
of whatever national pessimism
exists does not arise from the f1uc-
tuating fortunes of American
fortunes of American forces fight
ing in Korea.
For the first time since Civil
War days the American family is
confronted with the possibility
that the war may come to it's own
front door. And this time it
wouldn't be cavalrymen riding
into town on food and clothing
raid, but mass destruction released
in one eradicating explosion.
The Government-the military
the Federal and local civilian de-
tense agencies-was faced with
the problem of preparing the
population for atomic war, ma
terially and psychologically.
Precautions Are Apparent.
These precautionary steps are
now grimly apparent. Look at
them:
Road signs on the outskirts of
the Nations biggest city: TN

New York City this highway will
be closed to all traffic except civil
defense and military vehicles"

to do in event of atomic attack

to the floor with their arms

Public appeals for blood dona-
tons because that is treatment
for radiation sickness.
Warnings. Stay away from
the windows If you see an I'M
earthly white flash. Wear
white clothes; they won't trans
NIT all the soaring heat rays of
an exploding bomb. Don't go
into the zero point" where a
bomb exploded or close to the
ground Or in water-there may
be lingering radioactivity there.
New York City jam.

portation strike in New York City

traffic. What would it be if New
York's millions sought in single
moment to flee the city?

Churchill Accuses Labor
OF MishandIing Defenses
By The Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Winston
Churchill said today that Britain
Is in grave danger after "the
costly and dilatory mishandling of
our defenses" during the Labor
governments five years in Office.
THE Socialist Party have not
got the capacity to give the
people the leadership needed TO
preserve peace through strength"
he said.
Mr.. Churchill made these COM
ments in a letter to Sir Walter
Monckton, the Conservative candi-
date in a by-election in Bristol
on Thursday.
The special election in the
strongly Conservative district was
made necessary by the recent
death of Oliver Stanley, member
of the Tory high command in
Parliament.

$4,000 Into Tourist
Development Fund

The Virgin Islands Tourist
Development Board has re-
celved a grant of $4,000 from

ton, according to a press re-
lease. This represents the first

trlbuted by the two munich
pal budgets $4,000 by Saint
