COVENTRY GIVES UP ON CIVIL DEFENSE

The City Council Of the city of Coventry England,
which took terrific fire bombardment from the Luft-
waite in World War H. recently decided to give up eff
forts to build up civil defense system The reason the
Council surrendered the about the tremendous
destructiveness of hydrogen bombs.
The majority view of the Council was that it was
waste Of time and money to attempt prepare against
hydrogen bomb raids. The hydrogen bombs power is so
devastating the Council believed that there was little
in taking feeble and inadequate measures which could
not possibly cope with it.
Although Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe British Home Sec
Rotary wrote the Council letter of rebuke saying he en-
tirey disagreed with them, sympathize somewhat
with the attitude of the Coventry City Council Certainly
there is little that be done to Coventry if it is
subjected to hydrogen bomb attack
On the other hand, there is very good possibility
that the hydrogen bomb will be used and that the
conventional type weapons will be used any future war
that is the case then Coventry certainly has every
reason to prepare strong civil defense program and it
is for this that the City Councils action is prema
ture and overly pesshmistic.

WASHINGTON 6 - A friendly
reference to the late Franklin D.

eminent news release this week
after some Republicans raised an
guished cries.
It happened when the Veterans
| Administration issued q statement
taking note Of the 10th anniver-
sary Of the CT Bill Of Rights.
The release, as It first appeared,
read this way:
"The law, signed by President
Franklin d. Roosevelt on June a,
1914, contained three major bene-
fits On signing the CT Bill
in 1914, the President said -"

peared, reading this way:

Sen. Douglas (D-N) said: "Evi-

A VA official, questioned about
the change in the release said the
first batch put out numbered about
$500. When they were distributed,
he said, some COP congressmen
he did not name lodged protests"
that the CT Bill Of Rights was
nonpartisan Legislation. They OBJ
jected to any mention Of Roose-
velt's name, the VA official added.
A second batch OF some coo cop
les, containing no mention Of the
late President, was then run off.
The official said the original re-
lease was mot rescinded or re-
called" but that when it became
apparent more copies would be
needed I'VE decided Roosevelt's
name didn't add to or detract
from the news value" OF the state
ment.

that the CT Bill was national leg

political lines" he said. 1--WE took
these protests into consideration"
The official, asking not to be
named, said he had no indication
that anybody In the White House
objected to the original languag &c.
"I'm pretty positive we didn't
hear from them" he said.

And it came to pass IN those days, that
there went out decree from Caesar
Augustus, that all the world should be
taxed. (And this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every one into
his own city. And Joseph also went up
from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judaea, unto the city of David.
which is called Bethlehem; because he
was of the house and lineage of David:)
to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife,
being great with child. And SO it was,
that, while they were there, the days
were accomplished that she should be
delivered. And she brought forth her
first-born son, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him in
manger; because there was no room for
them in the inn.
