PALMER CD TO BE ION GALL" DURING JUNE I5 EXERCISE

Actual participation by the Greater Palmer Civil Defense or ganization will be limited to an "on-call'' basis during the test exercise to be conducted next Wednesday, June IS, according to Al V. Hagen, director of the Greater Palmer District.
 Anchorage is one of 56 cities in the United States and it's pos sessions and territories designat- ed by the Federal Civil Defense Administration as targets in a simulated atomic attack schedul- ed for Wednesday. Official name for the national exercise is "Op- eration Alert 1855" The purpose of the exercise is to promote op- erational capability at all levels of civil defense by encouraging increased aWarenesS of the sup porting role of cities, states and regions when no attack Is made on such areas. Also, increased public knowledge and training in CD survival techniqueS.
 The Anchorage area plan is to get people 10 to II miles from the assumed target point on the Elmendorf runways and then send them south on the Seward highway. Evacuation from the Anchorage area is particularly difficult, George Shannon, Anch- orage district civil defense di- rector said, as the military will not permit use of Glenn highway to the north except for residents of Government Hill.
 Public notice was given this week by Harold E. Pomeroy, di- rector Department of Civil De- fense, Territory of Alaska, of the pending exercise which will be conducted within the Greater Anchorage and Greater Chugiak CD districts on June 15.
 According to the notice conduct of the exercise requires that dur ing the period from 6:30 am. to 9:30 no northbound vehicular traffic will be permitted to enter the Greater Anchorage Civil De- fense district via the Anchorage Seward Highway.
 Conduct of the exercise re- quires also that during tbe same period all southbound vehicular traffic on inc Glenn Highway within the Greater Chugiak de- fense district will be subject to such traffic control as is consid- cred necessary by inc district di- rector for inc conduct of inc ex- recise. This means that possible traffic from Palmer to Anchorage could be held up al tbe Chugiak district during the exercise peri cd. The attention of commuters from the valley area is especial lY drawn to this part of the ex- ercise.
 The evacuation test is expected Continued on page 8)
