 Up 10 City Council

What are you men going to do about Civil Defense?" Highway Patrolman Stanley Laird de- manded of the City Council meet ing in regular session several hours later.
 And well he might ask, for the detailed evacuation plan puts most of the burden for the move ment of evacuated persons and preparations for same on the or ganized Highway Patrol. Lieu tenant Wesley Gilman, in charge of the Highway Patrol for the Third Division, has been desig- mated as evacuation column com mander. Laird said he'd been or dered by his boss to contact the Council about their Civil Defense plans and forward them to him along with names of the director and deputies assigned to the in- dividual functions.
 Hagen followed a quick review of Col. Landreth's earlier remarks by the observation that the An chorage area evacuation plan was in addition to the army plan for evacuating dependents.
 Palmer is it for both of them, Hagen said. However, the army evacuation would probably take place weeks in advance of the Anchorage one"
 Betty Mears told the council men that Ed Fortier had promised to talk at the Palmer Chamber of Commerce meeting next We'd nesday noon on the overall Civil Defense planning needed for this area. They were all invited to attend.
 On that temporary reprieve from immediate action, the Coun- cil turned it's attention to other matters which burdened it's agen- da for the evening.

 Palmer Is "Ii"
 Col Landreth observed thaI Anchorage is an almost certain target m the event of war II the city is bombed, it is planned to evacuate the population to th2 Palmer Wasilla area, where they will be kept for four or five days until it is determined whether or not evacuation to the States is necessary. If il is not. the emer. gency guests will be sent back to their homes; if ii is, a detailed plan already in blueprint stage will go into operation.
 In the Palmer and Wasilla area during this interim period, b. 900 and perhaps as many as q. 900 persons must be given food shelter, and medical care. Al though the Anchorage Civil Dc fense organization will help, the local organization must be ready to assume responsibilities assign ed in the co-ordinated plan. First and foremost is the immediate necessity for a survey of all homes and buildings in this area to determine the number of per sons who could be accommodate ed in each for billeting It must be determined which buildings are suitable for mass housing, for messeS, for an emergency hos pital, for administrative and reg istration purposes. Organization Sof group and individual functions should be so specified that in q given emergency each individual Civil Defense worker will have i, before him list of what he Is to do and the order in which to do it.
 The obvious problems of food and gasoline for visitors number ing several times the total Valley population would be taken care of by Anchorage Civil Defense according to Col. Landreth. He said also that it is planned tC move railroad cars to Palmer for housing experimentation.
 The local popluation might al so have to be evacuated. Organlz- ation and planning for this even tuality should be made ready i'm mediately in case the unexpected happens.
 NO plan should be considered final" said Col. Landreth until it has been tested in training and found practicable"
