ceremonies on November ll-of-
Ificially proclaimed last year by

ans Day.
The announcement disclosed
for the iirst time publicly a hot
issue that has smoldered fol-
nearly . year between veterans
groups and the Justice Depart
tment.
A spokesman for VFW here
said the swearings in were pub
Lie spectacles that reduced the

The spat has ended in q victory
for veterans with the admission
from 1t. Gen. Joseph M. Swing,

Funds Set Up
By Government
For Air Sirens
CONTINUED from first page)

Detailed advice on the size, deci-
bel strength, location and approx
mate installation costs for sirens
required In each community was
sent to levy courts and municipal
officials throughout Kent and Sus-
sex.
Each community also received a
map of it's Incorporated area pin
pointing the best siren location for
ideal sound coverage.
The engineering survey showed,
Mr.. Lee said, that $4,000 would be
required for sirens in Sussex and
$35,000 in Kent. Since that time,
Smyrna and Georgetown are the
only communities in the two coun-
ties which have provided attack
warning equipment.
OF the new $4,000 appropriation,
s12,500 will be available to each
county under the matching fund
program until January 1856. AT that
date, any of the money not used
will be made available to either
county on request until April 1,
1856. At that time, the offer will be
withdrawn.
Meantime, Mr.. Lee stressed, no
community in either of the two
counties will be eligible for match
ing funds for other purposes until
it has obtained the required warn
ing equipment.
To use any portion of the federal
funds, the local community must
agree to put up an equal amount
and also file a project application
with the state Civil Defense.
The states attack warning sys-
tenn is radio controlled from a key
point in Dover where operators are
on 24-hour duty. On receipt of an
alert from the Air Defense Com
mand, every siren in the State can
be sounded simultaneously.
This is the only official and eff
cient way the public can receive
an advance warning of an air at
tack. Mr.. Lee emphasized.
The system has been planned to
give sound coverage to the entire
state. but each community is re-
sponsible for purchasing its own
equipment and tying it in with the
state system.
In New Castle County. siren COW
erage is now regarded as satisfae-
tory, Mr.. Lee said, but in Kent and
Sussex no adequate provision has
ever been made to warn the public.
