Sincd these cities are among

areas, Civil Defense officials
say they must be cleared of
civilians if an attack appears
immenient. In their survey they
hope to work closely with local
civil defense officials to deter
mine Cd the best possible E.
vacuation outeS away from the
target areas and (2) Geauga
county's ability to shelter, feed,
and clothe the evacuees who
could number we'll into the tens
of thousands.
AS a starter, Civil Defense.
regional officials intend to meet
this week in Battle Creek, Mich
to lay plans for the nationwide
canvass which they hope to
inaugurate shortly after Con-
gress approves funds. Although
the agency has requested $1G
million for the survey, h
House of Representatives last
week cut the amount of So mil.
lion. The Senate may we'll re,

Civil Defense officials here say
