Less Motion Needed.
The new cases are more COM

no longer be any interruption

defense official said it was hoped
to start with so per cent of the
States posts in 24-hour operation,
with others manned for IL to 16
hours.
The first shifts of some 15O, ,UUU
volunteers in 27 States will take
their posts at about 5000 stations
early tomorrow.
Can't Take Any Risks.
The aim of the operation is to
spot any raiders who might sneak
through the radar screen for a
sneak attack that could set of
World War III.
The Air Defense Command, in
announcing the delayed start o1
the 24-hour watch emphasized the
need for at least $4,000 more
observers.
"Tl1e total policy and efforts OF
the United States and its allies
are to prevent war;" Mr.. Truman
said, adding:
1--WE shall never diminish our
hopes and labors in this cause as
long as no aggressors attack us.
However, in this new age in
which hostile forces are known to
possess long-range bombers and
atomic weapons, we cannot risk
being caught unprepared to defend
ourselves. We must have trained
force of skywatchers."
Russia Can Attack Us.
The President pointed out the
need for every possible second OF
warning in the event of attack,
both to speed condensation and
to save lives and vital facilities.
"Our greatest hopes for peace
lie in being so strong and well
prepared that our enemies will
not dare attack" Mr.. Truman
said. Every citizen who cooper
ates in Operation Skywatch,' as
well as in other defense activities.
is helping to prevent the war none
Of us wants to happen"
The Air Force wanted to start
the watch in May, because the ex-
perts said weather conditions are
most favorable for a long dis
tance air assault from May
through September.
The Federal air defense organi-
zation was forced to postpone start
of the operation because not
enough civilians had volunteered
to make possible round clock
operation.
The Air Force has pressed for
the start Of the continuous ground
observation because Russia now
has the atomic bomb and long
distance bombers capable Of at
tacking the United States.
