taken to protect the Nation from

damage an atomic attack might
cause. Committee Chairman Rus

Meanwhile, Washington's first

was scheduled for II am. Wed

will take part in the raid.
The test is Of the city's interim

neither the general public nor

fense director.
The public schools, however
will conduct their first air raid
drill during the practice alert
both in the District and In Mont
gomery County.
Police and fire vehicles, many
of them dispersed to predeter-
mined points throughout the Dis
trict, will sound their sirens for

signal, meaning that danger is
imminent, is an uninterrupted ris-

minutes.
At 11:10 am, the white" sig
nal will be sounded, indicating
the danger has passed. 1t will con-
sist of three steady blasts of one

MIR. Caldwell's remarks to the

with a letter he sent to the Gov

tense during the coming year.
He said his agency may be

Building Costs 10 Bal
Fancy Trimmings for
New Public Schools

Fancy trimmings on new Dis
trict public schools once again will
be casualty of the~high cost of
building.
Archie Hutson. District director
Iof construction, said the Board of
Education was being asked again
to eliminate terrazzo tile floors
land wainscoting in future school
buildings. The step is necessary
because of the rise in the cost of
building that has jeopardized the
school construction program, he
added.
Mr.. Hutson said the plan was
to substitute asphalt tile for the
floor covering and plain plaster
for the wainscoting. School Of
f1cials always have opposed these
short cuts in school construc-
ton but once before were forced
to accept the cheaper substitutes.
In 1947 the cost of construction
rose to the point that cutbacks

In fact, it was only late in 1949
that the School Board was able
to put back the terrazzo tile in
its school plans.
The Spingarn High School, now
under construction at Twenty
fourth street and Benning road
NE, is the only new school to
benefit from the change, how
ever. 1t will have terrazzo tile
floors and wainscoting.
Other schools planned will have
to do without the trimmings.
The school building program
as well as the whole District gov
ernment's building program-is
faced with an increase in the cost
of construction that brings the
costs above the authorization
given by Congress.

One OF the few bright spots on
the Washington area civil de-
fense horizon Is to be found in
Rockville. Md. a key point for
support and evacuation if an
atom bomb should be dropped on
the District.
From time to time, to be sure,
Montgomery County officials have
complained that the town has
shown small inclination to CO.
operate in overall county plans
for civil defense. But apart from
that issue, the fact is that the
community has tackled its own
problems with an energy and
enthusiasm worthy of imitation.
Held As An Example.
In fact, Rockville is being held
up by spokesmen of the Federal
Civil Defense Administration as a
fine example of what small COM
munities throughout the country
should be doing, and seldom are
Not all communities, of course,
enjoy Rockville's special advan-
tages in developing a civil defense
organization. For instance, some
of the problems that seem hope
lessly complicated in a city the
size of Washington are quickly
dealt with in the small closely
knit community nearby.
Perhaps Rockville's unique
head start lies in it's civil defense
director, a medal honor Marine
colonel named Joseph M. Cham
bers. Among other things, Col.
Chambers happens to be one of
the country's leading authorities
on civil defense. AS an expert of
the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee. he played a leading role
last winter in writing the Nat
ional Civil Defense Law.
AS Rockville's civil defense di-
rector he has beeen given the op-
portunity which comes rarely to
experts-the chance to see how
theories work out in practice. The
process, he admits, has provided
him with a liberal education.
Rockville has approached its
problems with a realism that a
District resident might find dis
turbing.
Destruction in City.
It has been assumed, for plan
ming purposes, that an atom bomb
attack on the District would
smash all bridges to the south;
knock out all utilities and tele-
phone communication and de-
stroy a large part of the city.
This situation would put Rock

the target area at the junction Of
