Nations Mayors Hear Danger
To 100 Cities IL War Comes
BY D. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON R - The nations
mayors were told by the Contin-
entail Air Defense commander to-
day that the outbreak of a global
war could mean 100 pinpointed
minutes of atomic hell on earth"
for a hundred big American cities.
Gen. Benjamin w. Chidlaw posed
this frightening possibility, saying
stands "the most likely chance OF
being hit about in mighty
aerial blow" before Russia strikes
anywhere else in starting q full
scale war.
Chidlaw's remarks were pre-
pared for the more than 200
mayors and city managers from
the 48 states and territories gath

President Eisenhower, who Is
sued the invitations for the two
day series of meetings, arranged
to greet the group with an In
formal speech.
His talk was scheduled for $3.50
am. EST.
Aside from the Presidents talk,
the sessions were scheduled to take
place behind closed doors, al
though some speeches such as
Chidlaw's are being made public.
After each speech the meeting was
to switch to questions and discus
sion.
The Mayors Conference is the
second of its kind.
Last years conference developed
a sharp dispute among the mayors
and government leaders over the
role the federal government should
play in civil defense in an atomic
emergency. Eisenhower told that
meeting that the cities should
shoulder the main burden.
Meanwhile, the National Securi-
ty Council, which last years con-
ference asked to review the civil
defense subject and the Federal
Civil Defense Administration have
made what FCDA officials de-
scribe as "much progress" in
working out plans. The FCDA
