Lines Of Defense

greatly expanded telephone facilities-and Southern
Bell has responded by increasing the number Of teIe
phones in the state from l03. 26s January |, 1916
to more than 10000 as of June I, this year.
The principal purpose of these additional tele-
phones and the thousands Of miles of wire connecting
them has been to increase the efficiency and produc-
tiveness of our farms and factories. Now they are
to become part of lines of defense by helping to
speed preparedness

studies of the desirability for
emergency general headquarters,
command posts. communications
centers and similar facilities to be
used if enemy air attacks made
Washington or other primary mil
itary posts untenable.
That study is a part of the
broad considerations of the entire
question of dispensing essential
Government facilities if a devas-
tating air attack is threatened or
occurs in another war.
A dispersal plan involving the
movement of $4,000 workers to
the suburban areas is currently
before the Senate Public Works
Committee. The military phase
of the dispersal problem first was
undertaken by the Joint Chiefs of
Staff in 1948. That the secret
preliminary study now has moved
definitely into the detailed plan
ming stage is indicated by the
activity at and near Camp Richie.
An indication that it would soon
reach that stage came in the fall
of 1949 when then Secretary of
Defense Louis Johnson wrote
Senator Wiley. Republican. of
Wisconsin that certain projects
Of the joint command post plan
would require appropriations by
Congress. He gave no indication
of the eventual cost or probable
location of the combined COM
mand post for the Army, Navy
and Air Force.
It may not necessarily be To-
Gated in a midcontinent area or
some region far removed from
Washington. This is because
communications links with a
command post are vital-for the
directing command would be
blind and deaf without them.
Easy access to existing telephone
and telegraph lines, preferably
trunk lines running underground
to make them safe from both at
tack and storm, is desirable.
d. G.. Nice Target
The military has a quantity of
technical information on under
ground construction. aside from
that acquired during the war.
The Army in June. 1948, began
a six-month series of tests in Gen.
trail Utah and Western Colorado,
using heavy charges of INT in
underground blasts. The expert
ments were designed to show the
