BY JOHN ". HORNER

Federal authorities have high
hope that the Nationwide civil
defense exercise beginning at IL
am. Friday will be much more
effective than the rather hap
hazard test conducted a year ago.
But they have crossed their
fingers.
theoretically, rs industrial and
military centers in the United
States and several cities in Can
ada could be obliterated by an
atomic assault scheduled at the
start of the exercise known as
I"Operation Alert 1856"
If target areas are caught I'M
ready. it will be assumed that
casualties would have run into
many millions.
Will Transfer" Government
So, the Federal Civil Defense
Administration, the Office of De-
Tense Mobilization and other
Government agencies will strive
to see, in a world of make
believe. how many people they
can save" and how effectively
they can transfer the operations
OF Government under conditions
OF the simulated attack.
The exercise will have four
principal detectives:
l. Provide a civil defense
training exercise.
2. Determine what progress
has been made in providing mill
tary support for civil defense
operations.
3. Determine what progress
has been made in developing
plans under which the executive
branch Of the Government would
mobilize and allocate the man
power and material resources
that would be left after an at
tack on the United States.
4. Determine what progress
has been made in improving
operational re "a diness of the
emergency relocation sites of the
executive branch of Government.
A Non military Test
1t is emphasized that this is
not a war game" It is not de-
signed to test the military capa-
lbilities of a potential aggressor
or of the United States in deal
ing with a potential aggressor.
The exercise is intended to give
the Nation experience in dealing
with non-military problems that
could arise in the wake of an
attack.
President Eisenhower and all
top officials of the Government
will participate in the operation,
but the public generally will not
participate. The Presidents role
is tailored this year to his trip
to Panama. But shortly after
the sirens sound the yellow"
alert Friday, he will attend an
expanded" meeting of the Ma
tional Security Council.
Last year, the President left
the city for his relocation site

The President said he would
suggest new civil defense legis-
lation in his next annual mes
sage to Congress in January. He
announced also that he was ask
ing the defense administrator
to sit III on cabinet sessions so
the civil defense program may
be fully integrated into our ma

The President also disclosed
that he proposed to participate

attack on our country and thus
helps preserve peace the Pres
ident said. In the event of an
attack upon us, civil defense at
once becomes one of our imme-
date reactions imperatively re-
quired for our Nations survival.
Progress Cited
"The advances made in your
three years as Federal Civil De-
Tense Administration delineates
some of the major routes we
have been following in civil de-
tense. Planning for urban evacu-
alton is in progress. The growing
stockpile of medical supplies is
being relocated as required by
new weapons. Survival studies of
specific target areas will provide
an accurate measure of the adj
vance warning time required in
each area to permit the saving
Of lives by evacuation.
"Systematized attack warning
channels and procedures call for
better adjusting the civilian re-
Spouse to military alert warnings.
Continental defense is being
daily strengthened as the distant
early warning system comes
rapidly into operation.
This progress is encouraging.
But as we look back upon the
rapid advance in aircraft and IN
nuclear weapons and forward
to missiles capable of being cata-
pulled thousands of miles, it is
clear that the destructive capa.
bilities of potential enemies have
been outpacing our non-military
measures since the Federal Civil
Defense Act was passed six years
ago.

1t was no usual party,
better known as the WASH
ington cocktail party"
Last night instead, a couple
Of hundred guests learned
about the Argentine pampas
(plains) and the life of the
gauchos. They also slipped Ar
eentine champagne and ate
tidbitS typical of that country.
The Ambassador of the
Argentine bile and
Sonora de Vicchi invited
guests for 9 pm. to hear DR..
Edward Larocque Tinker and
later to enjoy food and drink
representative Of their coun-
try. 1t was q delightful
change in the social pattern
Of this town.
DR.. Tinker, an author and
collector of renown, chose as
his subject for the lecture, "A
Bond Between Men" He is
an authority of the American
Southwest cowboy and the
Argentine gaucho.
Tribute Paid
The speaker opened his re-
marks with a tribute to the
Ambassador and his people
"in their brave effort to heal
the spiritual and economic
wounds inflicted by the last
tPeron) regime"
In answering a question as
to why he chose the subject of
the pampa and the gaucho,
DR.. Tinker said, 1.-THE gaucho
and the cowboy are so much
alike. share SO many of the
same admirable traits, that a
study Of these two groups of
horsemen may well serve as a
bridge to better international
comprehension"
Adding that the love of the
horse has always been a bond
between men, DR.. Tinker
went into his subject of the
gaucho, saying that the audi
ence was familiar with the
cowboy and could easily draw
the comparison.
Not on Their Lives
This comparison differed in
the old dress of the gaucho,
the speaker pointed out, add
ing that the cowbow would
have died rather than wear
their costume.
1t included "a pair of long,
white. flappy, cotton drawers,
trimmed with lace. Over this
was the 'chiripa,' a sort of
diaper of wooden cloth. The
chief article of adornment was
the 'rastra,' a large silver
plaque with chains and but
tons that held together a
broad leather belt, covered
with all the coins its wearer

could afford-sort of a safe
deposit box"
In the early days, the trav-
cling gaucho was the substi-
tute for the newspaper and
the theater, DR.. Tinker said.
Common Bond
In concluding, DR.. Tinker
compared the cowboy with his
South American counterpart
by saying; Both endured the
same hardships, met the same
problems; both fired the imagi-
nation and won the affection
of their people; both inspired
a picturesque saga.
Men Of this ilk can easily
understand each other, and
nations that have produced
two such identical types must
have much ground in common

Probe Ordered
Into Defense Plant
Tax Write-Offs
BY the Associated Press

Senator Byrd. Democrat of
Virginia, has ordered an inves-
tigation of defense plant tax
amortization benefits.
Senator Byrd also urged the
Office of Defense Mobilization to
approve no applications for such
benefits about which there is
the slightest question" until the
inquiry is completed by the staff
of the Senate-House Committee
on Internal Revenue Taxation,
which he heads.
The Virginian announced plans
for the inquiry in a letter re-
Gently to Arthur S. Fleming.
ODM director The letter said
Senator Byrd has been informed
that pending applications for a
fast tax amortization by steel
companies involve proposed new
construction totaling Sl.2 billion.
Senator Byrd said the purpose
OF wartime legislation allowing
the fast amortization was to ex-
pedite production essential to ma
tional defense.
1t is my opinion" he wrote
Mr.. Flemming, that under pres
ent peacetime conditions such
special privilege can be justified
only in exceptional and rare
cases"
