Civil Defense
In D. c. Cited

Washington, in common with
other large metropolitan areas,
lacks adequate civil defense,
Representative Holif1eld, Demo-
crat of California, said today.
Mr.. Holif1eld is chairman of
the Military Operations Sub
committee of the House Gov
eminent Operations Committee,
which submitted a comprehensive
report on Nationwide civil de-
tense today.
The report cited testimony of
Col. John E. Fondahl, civil de-
Tense director for the District of
Columbia, that in the Washing
ton area there was no provision
in the evacuation plan for Sc
lected movement because of fall
out, nor any provision for the
care of evacuees."
Representative Holifield said
no action has been taken in the
Washington area on bottlenecks
in roads, such as road crossings
or narrow bridges or other traf-
fic bottleneckS, which would
Stymie evacuation in the event
of enemy attack.
The California lawmaker also
said no thought has been given
as to whether evacuees would be
led into lethal downwind radio
active fallout on evacuation
routes. He said the hearings
showed there is no provision in
the counties surrounding Wash
ington for the care of evacuees
concerning food. shelter, medical
supplies or sanitation.

By the Associated Press

Playwright Arthur Miller to-
day faced possible prosecution
for refusing to give the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities the names of persons
with whom he attended Com
munist Party writer's meetings
in 1899 or 1910.
The House voted 1893 yester-
day to cite Mr.. Miller for con-
tempt of Congress and to send
his case to the Justice Depart
ment. Also cited for contempt
were seven other persons ac-
cused of refusing to answer
committee questions on COM
muniSm.
Mr.. Miller, now honeymooning
in Britain with Actress Marilyn
Monroe, told the committee last
month that he never was a
Communist Party member. But
he did concede past associations
with various Red front groups.
He also told the investigators he
would not support now a cause
dominated by Communists"
However. when the 40-year-

year"
Federal Civil Defense Admin
istrator Val Peterson said that
in view of the size of the prob
lem, I'VE have VITO or three laps
more around the world before
we catch up with it."
Mr.. Peterson lauded co-opera-
ton of the Defense Department
in the 1856 exercise.
Worth Effort, Wilson Says
Secretary of Defense Wilson
emphasized that the Defense
Department participated, not as
a war game, but to see what
could be done for the civilian
population in the assumed emer-
gency situation.
From my point of view" Mr..
Wilson added "the exercise was
more than worth the effort it
cost"
He said he found some good
things and some bad things
which we will work at improv-
ing"
Mr.. Peterson emphasized that
the main responsibility for civil
defense still rests with local
communities.
In this problem, whether
America survives or not is going
to depend on the initiative and
imagination displayed by our
governors and mayors" the Civil
Defense Administrator said.
He said the Federal work be-
ing done in Washington is neces-
sary but the bombs will fall at
the local level. there will be
chaos and confusion for many
days, and local authorities will
have to move in if America is
to survive"

Secrecy Problem Seen
Mr.. Flemming said this would

secret the location of the emer-
gency centers, but that this was
only one of several problems that
would have to be worked out.
He emphasized only small
groups of employees from each

Cabinet Status
Proposed for
Civil Defense
By WILLIAM A. MILLEN

A new Department of Civil
Defense, headed by a Cabinet
Ioficer, was one of the main
Recommendations today of a
Congressional group.
In a report Gaping a year.
long study, the Military Opera
tions Subcommittee of the House
Government Operations Com
mittee said adequate civil de-
Tense must be listed as q deter
rent to war. It advocated build
ing shelters as a key measure.
The report declared basic civil
defense responsibility should be
in the Federal Government, with
States and local governments
having important supporting
roles. y
1t suggested that the civil de-
tense functions of the Federal
Civil Defense Administration
and the Office of Defense Mo-
bilization be merged in the new
Organization.
Question Of Military Role
The report also urged that
the military role in civil defense
be clarified and that the Joint
Chiefs of Staff consider civil de-
tense as IAN integral part
of the total national defense
lcapability."
1t advocated that the Secre-
tary of Defense, in consultation
with the Secretary of Civil De-
tense, Should establish and
implement an effective program
of training active and reserve
military personnel in civil de-
Tense duties as a defined part Of
regular military training"
I'm a very broad and basic
sense. the Federal Government
has a Constitutional responsible
ity to provide for the common
defense and protection of the
people of this country against
the threat or the impact of
nuclear war" the report said.
The revolution in warfare as
signs a new role to civil defense
and the Federal Government
must respond to new demands
and new responsibilities in its
Iage-old task to defend the coun-
try against its enemies"
Past Efforts Fell Short
Past civil defense efforts have
fallen. far short, the Subcommit-
tee declared, with even Congress
failing to measure up to the
problem.
Warning that the United
States must meet the civil de-
Tense threat, the report said,
I"As the shadow of the impend-
ing intercontinental balliStics
missile lengthens over the world,
the FCDA is beginning to see
that the half-hour or so in which
such a missile can travel from
Moscow to Chicago or elsewhere,
even if allowed as warning time,
is hopeless as a basis for evacua-
ton. The dilemma is the more
acute and uncomfortable because
the FCDA has persuaded the
Congress to vote it $40 million
for survival plan studies which
are pointed toward the evacua-
ton concept" The report recon.
mended that these studies be sus-
pended
