President Eisenhower today

cies to take part in a Nation
wide civil defense test exercise

operation with Canada and
American territories and possess
sions.
In a letter to the heads of all
departments and agencies the
President said:
"The task of civil defense is
vital to our national life. 1t de-
mands preparedness that can do
more than limit the damage of
wartime disaster. 1t means de-
veloping a preparedness, a vigi-
lance. so impressive as to deter
aggression itself. This aware
ness must touch every commu-
nifty. every citizen Of our land"
The White House said the
test would not involve the public
generally-nothing in the nature
of a general afraid drill. It
aim is to test civil defense oper-
alton.
The President authorized re-
lease from ordinary work on the
test days Of Federal employees

Laboratory Finds Auto Glass
Pockmorks Are Not Unusual

Microscopic examination of
the damaged areas failed to re-
veal any trace of foreign matter
which could be analyzed or stud
led. X-ray difraction tests of
material said to be taken from
pitted windshields in the mid
west proved to be composed of
asphalt and dolomite-common
road materials"
DR.. Cox said all the wind
shields were scanned with a
Scintillation counter - an ex-
tremely sensitive. type of radia-
ton detector-and that there
was no evidence of radioactive
materials in or on the wind
shields.
The doctor said similar wind
shields were exposed for many
hours to intense radioactivity
and did not pit nor mar. He said
the glass simply turned brown.
Other Tests Made.
DIR. Cox said tests were also
made to determine the effect of
electrostatic charges from the
atmosphere. He added:
"a charge of 172,000 volts
would be required to pierce a
windshield. It is not known how
such voltage could be developed
on an automobile windshield un-
der normal conditions.
DR.. Cox said another theory
advanced for the unusual mark
ings appearing suddenly on the
windshields is that the glass was
exposed to certain chemical at
tacks. He said:
"The glass technician said very
few chemicals have any effect on
glass. Chemically attacked glass
has frosted appearance and the
surface is not pitted. Any known
chemical that can attack glass
will also attack people and car
bodies"
