cd Assures Government
Denmark s Chief Soys

The head of Denmark's civil
defense program is optimistic
over the chances of saving
enough people in nuclear at
tack to continue a government
That was the tenor of remarks
made here yesterday by Arthur
Dahl. director Of Danish civil
defense activities.
At a press conference ending
almost five months of study of
the United States CD program
Mr.. Dahl said hydrogen and
atomic warfare is bound to bring
heavy losses of life and property
but will not be totally destruc-
tive in a target area.
I'VE surely can save some
people and so we can save a
government" he said.
Mr.. Dahl, like American Civil
Defense Administrator Val Peter
son, is member of the NATO
CD Committee. He said many
communities in the United States
have made remarkable progress
with their civil defense pro-
grams. Some. he remarked, are
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-08-11

as good as those in Europe, which
is more "warminded."
He said Americans have all
the know-how needed to meet
the CD problem. The practical
difficulty, he said. is getting
enough money to do what is
necessary.
Mr.. Dahl said good civil de-
Tense requires an adequate sys-
tenn for warning the population
of a possible enemy attack, pro-
visio neither for evacuation of
or shelter within a target area
and mutual aid of communities
after an attack.
In Denmark. Mr.. Dahl re-
ported, emphasis is placed on
the construction Of a large num-
ber' of relatively small shelters,
which are widely scattered.
"Of course" he said, I'VE
know some would be destroyed
in an attack but. others would
not. So, in that way. we can
save some people. Even if a
country saved only 10 per cent,
it could continue its govern
ment."

He explained that the average

six trips a year and some stores
have as many as so buyers.

increase of this magnitude can
not be absorbed. Such costs are
