Sirens Urged For
DOWnstate Area


A plea that incorporated towns
in Kent and Sussex Counties buy
air raid sirens under the federal
matching fund program and a
warning that project applications
should be in by September /, in
order to get priority in the current
fiscal year were issued July 23) by
d. Preston Lee, state Civil Defense
director.
At the same time, detailed rec
concentrations on the type ana size
air raid siren needed by each in
corpOrated town in the two cOun-
ties were sent out by the state Civ
ilian Defense Office.
The information, based on an en-
gineering survey, is being sent to
county CD directors, advisory coun-
ellis and levy courts and also to the
mayors or CD leaders of all in
corpOrated towns.
In a letter accompanying the
siren specifications, Colonel Lee
urged that project applications be
sent to his Newark Office by Sep
lember ] and suggested that the
two counties give local communi-
ties financial help in purchasing
the warning devices.
Under the federal matching pro-
grams, local authorities must put
up fifty per cent Of the cost to be
equaled by federal money.
Included in each set of siren
specifications going to the indi-
vidual towns is a map of the COM
munity, showing exactly where the
siren should be located for best eff
feet and indicating the range Of
sound coverage to be expected. Ad-
vice on Installing sirens and an
estimate OF the overall cost also
are included.
Delaware now has an automatic
attack warning system by which
community sirens throughout the
state can be touched OFF stimuli
taneously by radio impulses.
But the trouble is, Colonel Lee
explained, that many communities
have not purchased sirens to hook
into the alarm system. The rec
concentrations mailed today will
give local authorities a elear-cut
picture of their siren needs. Actual
purchase and installation will be
up to each community, he added.
In his letter, Colonel Lee urged
county CD directors to ask their
levy courts to share the cost Of the
sirens with the towns and cities.
He also advised the county direc-
tors to call a meeting Of all local
directors to encourage them to
submit siren project applications
before September /.
The sirens are purchased by To-
cal authorities direct from the
manufactures, but the project ap-
plication is necessary in order to
arrange for federal matching funds
Colonel Lee explained.
The siren survey was carried
out by ]. L. GuenVeur, member OF
the University of Delaware's elec-
trical engineering faculty and a
part-time Civil Defense adviser
He toured the two counties, visit
ing every incorporated town to cal
culate local needs.

New Tomato Varities At
Farm Field Day

Delaware farmers who grow to-
matOes will have an opportunity to
see many new tomato varieties at
the annual Farm Field Day Au-
gust at the University of Della
ware research substation, George
town.
Some AZ varieties of tomatoes
are ON trial. OF these 36 are va
rieties which were bred in Della
ware.
Several of them appear to be out
standing and worthy Of CONNER
cial production in Delaware. Prob
ably the most noteworthy are Del
aware and Delaware 5, which pro-
duced 24.77 and 25.08 tons per acre
respectively in 1853. The yield of
Rutgers under the same condi-
tiOns was 2067 tons.
These varieties will be on dis
play for the public at Farm Field
Day at the substatiOn.

This was a reply to Sen. Elan

Mccarthy took issue with Elan

the nation is ever destroyed, it
will be from within.
One radio station owner, J. P.

"The whole thing is strictly

BY EDMOND LIE BRETON

WASHINGTON R-Sen. McCar-
thy (R-Wis) has accused common
tator Edward r. Murrow of having
been connected with Moscow
school described as revolutionary,
and Adlai Stevenson of dealing in
untruths.
Murrow said he actually was an
adviser in an international educa-
ton experiment the Russians can
celled in 1885 before any school
sessions were held.
The accusations came in the
first installment of Mccarthy S
reply to recent criticism. He has
said his real reply will be made
q week from today. But last night
he fired some preliminary broad
sides at Murrow, who devoted his
CHS television show Tuesday to a
critical review of Mccarthy, and
Stevenson, Democratic presiden-
tial nominee in 1852, who spoke
against "McCarthyism" before a
meeting of Democrats in Miami
Beach Saturday.
Mccarthy spoke last night on a
question and answer program with
Fulton Lewis Jr. on the Mutual
Radio Network.
Saying that Murrow, 'week
after week, feels that he must
smear Mccarthy" Mccarthy sug-
gested, maybe Mr.. Murrow is
worried about the exposure of
some of his friends"
Mccarthy, saying he was quot
ing from copy of the Pittsburgh
Sun-Telegraph for Feb. IS, 1885,
read a listing of Edward R. Muir
row, assistant director, Institute of
international Education, as a
member of the National Advisory
Council of the Moscow University
summer session. He quoted the
newspaper as saying Moscow Uni
versity taught "the violent over
throw of the entire traditional
social order"

Murrow, in New York, termed
the broadcast statements INC
Carthy'S latest reckless handling
of the truth"
In a statement, Murrow said
that he had been assistant direc-
tor of the Institute of international
Education, which he described as
an organization arranging inter
country Exchange of students and
professors, and in that capacity
was a membre of an advisory
committee for a summer school
in Moscow. But he said the school
was called off by the Russians
before it began, and all that took
place was tour of Russia, in
which he did not participate.
AS for Stevenson, Mccarthy
conferred on the 1852 presidential
candidates statement that the
new administration had turned up
only one alleged active Commu-
mist among more than two million
federal employees.
That, Mccarthy said, "of course
is strictly untrue and either Adlai
knew that or should know it." The
senator said long list could be
made. He cited the names of
three persons othschild, lie
vine" and "Powell"-he said were
dropped as result of investiga-
tons by his Senate investigations
subcommittee.
Edward RothSchild refused to
tell the subcommittee last year
whether he ever spied for Russia.
He was suspended from his job
as bookbihder for the govern
ment printing office.
Ruth Wiener Levine resigned in
December from her job in Nut
ley, NJ, laboratory which does
work for the Army'S radar labor
atories at Ft.Monmouth, NJ. She
refused to say whether she con-
spired with others to spy, although
she denied spying herself.

Both Countries Benefitinq
BY The Assoeioted Press

NEWMARKET, England, Dec
10.-After four days of thorough
bred auctioneering in the big
gest sales in British history. the
verdict was. almost unanimous
today that concentrated Ameri-
can buying is great for horse
racing on both sides of the At
lantic. Sales topped the $780,
600 mark yesterday.
A group of 80 American own
ers, trainers, breeders and their
representatives have been op-
Grating this week at Tattersall's s
December sales like playboys at
the Savoy.
They have ordered and bought
notwithstanding more than
100000 for about so brood
mares, yearlings, colts and fillies
The only reason a stallion has
not been bought by an American
is because none has been put up.
The sales end today and the
original resentment and resist
ance to the Americans have all
but disappeared. Earlier some
London newspapers, several
speechmakers at horsy functions
and many British and Irish buy
ers had said something had to
be done to stop the Americans
FROM raiding British bloodstock.
Money Kills Resistance.
Then the Americans opened
