To Guard Against Sabotage

'"The proposal does not grow
out of any specific situation or
reports" he said. "It is a part
of the program developed by the
Justice Department and the
National Security Council to
modernize our laws affecting
national security"
The department last week
made public a circular letter
sent out by FBI Director j. Ed

throughout the country, alerting
them to the possibility that small

ing carried on the person might
be smuggled into the country.
This was also described as

that it should be remembered

detonation. The entire screen is
Immediately aglow with a soft
red.
The terrible fireball begins to
appear, at first not much larger
than dot, within vast igloo-
shaped outer wall of smoke, heat
and radioactive particles. Both
the f1reball and igloo expand
rapidly, laterally and upward.
The camera then switches to
what was to many of the news
men one of the most dramatic
parts of all: The shock wave.
This almost irresistible force is
seen skimming across the top
of the water at great speed di-
rectly at the viewer. Even in
two -dimenSional film, there is
tendency to get ready to duck.
Next, you are back at Elugelab,
the half-mile-long, quarter-mile-
wide "Shot Island" in the Eni-
wetok Atoll, and the now
familiar, fluffy-white mushroom
of atomic explosions begins to
form. The tremendous upsurge
of air. sand and coral pushed
the cloud higher and higher. In

Civil Defense Plans
Must Be Revised al
Once, Fondah| Says

Development Of hydrogen
weapons makes necessary an
immediate revision in thinking
and planning for civil defense,
Col. John E. Fondahl. District
director Of civil defense. said
today.
Dispersal will definitely be a
development that will have to
be made in civil defense plan
ning," he said. 1--WE also realize
that we will have to have some
advance warning"
Col. Fondahl emphasized that
even the thinking on dispersal
will have to be revised.
He pointed to San Francisco
as an example of where "thin-
out" plan has been in effect for
the downtown area for about a
year. Even this is now out
dated by the hydrogen bomb, he
said.

This (the bomb is going to
mean an entirely new concept
OF civil defense in critical target
areas" Col. Fondahl said.
One possible effect will be to
seek relatively distant storage
points for supply stockpiles of
such things as medical supplies.
At present, these supplies are
stockpiled within the District.
But that now is out the win
dow" Col. Fondahl declared.
Progress on Dispersal.
Concerning the problem of
advance warning, he asserted:
I'VE feel that they (Federal
Civil Defense) are in a position
at the present time to give us
more information than we have
been given with reference to the
yellow alert"
He said that while the dis
perSal plan never has been Of
f1cially declared part of the
civil defense picture, 1--WE be-
lieve we have made as much
progress in this type of plan
ming as 90 per cent of the major
cities"
s., He said that for some time,
the District civil defense au-
thoritieS, on their initiative and
with information coming to them
from the Federal Civil Defense
Office, have been making plans
looking toward dispersal.

I can remember the scandal, the

stared, frozen, from the newspaper
and it was then felt the cold dread
that has fingered. They were all my
brothers friends, those thieves
caught thieving but HIS face was
not there in the newspaper and the
following story told me. One man
had escaped, the newspaper stated
One man who had fled Japan. He
was unidentified,
AS I stared at the pictures my
brain spun and stopped like the
| wheels of these cars passing now
when brake is damned hard My
mind stopped on the one thought
my brother should not come back
If he comes back and begins his
life of crime, somewhere, some place
he'll leave fingerprints. And they'll
be mine. Mine, a man who has wor-
ked at one job, who has risen well

filters through my clothes, search

trickles slow and cold is no more

had returned to Japan
1t was so easy, the easiness not in
proportion to the fear the discovery
engendered. One day was walking

shabby man took my arm and grim
ned up into my face. He said, ITO

maybe could even explain the fin

wanted now, already.

when we laughed together and
teamed against the world, played

There is trace of that with the bit
