Indifference TO
CIVIL DEFENSE
WORRIES DIRECTOR
Making People Realize ImpOr-
lance of County Program
Is Difficult job

Making people realize the impor-
lance of the Civil Defense program
so that this county could be prepared
in case of any war emergency, is
turning out to be difficult job for
John S. Elliott, county director.
Pointing out that very few persons
seemed concerned with the danger Of
being Indifferent, Mr. Elliott stressed
the vital need of complete and ac-
tive organization.
An attempt to arouse and maintain
this interest will be made on Sunday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock when a meet
ing has been called of all Civil De-
Tense officers of the county named
thus far. The meeting will be at the
City Hall in Oakland.
Mr. Elliott said he had written let
ters to a person in every election pre-
cinct asking that he serve as a di-
rector for his precinct or recommend
another person for the job. Mayors of
all Incorporated towns previously had
been asked to name civilian defense
officer for each town. Mr.. Elliott said
only about half of his requests had
been answered and only half of those
who answered consented to serve or
suggested someone else.
During the past several days the
county director has been determining
with roads officials various routes
that would be available for travel
should the main arteries be tied up
for military use in case of emergency.
1t is his desire to have a civilian
police named for every crossroads in
the county in addition to having the
air warning spotter stations manned
continuously and other defense Off
GERS active He urged first aid train
ing for at least one person in every
family, and home nursing or nurses
aid training for a large number The
State health department is arranging
for classes in the latter and the
American Red Cross in planning first
aid courses throughout the county.
"The keynote of civilian defense is
self help Elliott said, land if we do
not receive the self help we may be
caught totally unprepared in case of
some unexpected attack" All jobs are
voluntary from the director down.
1t is the task of the Civil defense
agency to administer the services of
the police, fire, relief and rehabilita-
ton, medical, public utilities, engineer
ing services where they are utilized
for Civil Defense in an emergency.
The Civil Defense agency must also
handle plans, coordination, training,
information and education, finance
and other related items. and coordi-
nate their efforts with the state and
federal agencies.
The Maryland Civil Defense Law
was enacted by the State Legislature
in 1919. 1t set up the Maryland Civil
Defense Agency and authorized the
creation Of local organizations in the
counties. Emergency powers were
placed in the hands of the Governor
and also provided for rendering mu-
tual aid among the counties and with
other states adjacent to Maryland

May Get Equipment

Civilian Defense authorities have
notified organized volunteer fire
companies to make list of equip
mcnt needed to adequately provide for
any unexpected emergencies.
1t is presumed that such legitimat c
equipment may be supplied to these
companies through the national de-
Tense set-up. Older members of the
fire company at Oakland, recalled that
a similar order had been received dur
ing World War IL, but that no addi-
tional equipment ever arrived.

IRON CURTAIN-DATELIN PRAGUE

Unless some information has been withheld about the fate of William N Oats, the Associated Press correspondent who recently convicted in Prague for espionage his to differ not at all from that of Robert Voegeler who was tried and convicted on similar charges in Hungary and later ransomed after months of imprisonment.
 So far, neither the Government ot the United States of which he is citizen nor the Associated Press by whom he is employed, has made as much of an issue of MT Oatis as made of MT Vogeler According to dispatch from Frankfort United States authorities propose to demand Mir. Oatis release as soon as his sentence confirmed by the Czech legal reviewing authority However, nothing was said as to whether the United States would go far as it did to obtain the release of MT. Vogeler by the payment of huge ransom
 Strangely the American press has been un- usually apathetic toward the plight of one of its own newsmen It has reported the facts faithfully and editorialzed to extent taking the line that his trial was phony' But beyond that, it has been more reticent than indigant this outrageous treat ment of an American citizen.
 What has happened to Messrs Vogeer and Oatis

THE TOWNSEND PLAN

Not great deal has been heard about the Town send Plan in recent months but although it is oveshadowed by the various Truman plans it is far from dead.
 The Townsend Plan is before the 82nd Congress in House Resolution 2679. introduced by Rep John A. Batnik of Minnesota on February 16 compan- ion bill was introduced the day by Rep Homer D. Angel of Oregon Other bills along the same line have since been introduced.
 All of the Townsend Plan bills are in the hands of the House Ways and Means Committee and thus far all attempts to blast them out of committee have met with failure.
 Most recent effort was a petition signed by 78 Representatives asking that HR 2679 be reported by the committee. Signers included of the 23 Rep- resentatives from California, where the Townsend Plan still has much of it's support; Rep Angel of oregon and Rep. Thor c. Tollefson of Washington

Security or Freedom?
(Kingsville cTexas) Recor6


 One hundred seventy-five years ago, America de- clared for independence. Today, she's hollerng for security In 1861 the coored brethren were 'disen- toying" high degree of security what they wanted was liberty.
 In IT'S, Patrick Henry was demanding, Give me liberty or give death" Now Socialistic States men are crying, Sit still and we'll bring it to you from Pablum to wheel chairs. The government owes you living with TV thrown in"
 The politicos know you can't have freedom and security at the time The OK has security. The tiger has fredon Turn the OK loose and he starves. Cage the tiger and he lives only to break for freedom
 Give man security and all progress ceases. Free dom to achieve at the risk of failure the challenge of America and meeting it has made America great Security is for the very young and the very old the insane the criminal and the incompetent.
 Yet, Americans lawn at the feet of politicians who offer security" Stain is giving his citizens security, such it is So have hundred other tyrants of history.
 A few of those politicians may be honest in desire to aid all mankind Some of his friends say Harry Truman is honest according to his lights" Maybe so but he's sure been driving long way with his dinners on.

REC Fees

REC Fees
 It looks like the Republicans are even more successful than the Democrats in tapping government al money through the REC Guy Gabrielson's fees for getting an RFCe loan make chairman Bill Boyle's alleged fees look like pea nuts
 Gabrielson, now Republican Ma tional chairman, has collected a total of $20l,0 ,000 for helping Car thage Hydrocol, Inc, a synthetic gasoline plant in Brownsville, Tex as, get a $18,500,O00 REC loan.
 His fees are broken down as follows: $25,000 a year salary from 1946 through 1949, plus $34,0Oo for legal services in 1945, plus $2,075 for expenses in that year. In addition Hydrocarbon Research Inc, holding company for Garth age -Hydrocol, paid him $65,000 up to 1950
 No matter what the party, it looks like it pays to be in politics.
