No group is better equipped
to form the nucleus of a volun-
teer civil defense program
than veterans of the Women's
Army Corps.
That's the considered opin-
ion Of Mrs. Camilla Mays
Frank, who says her theory
has just been proven in New
Orleans, where she is super
visor of personnel for the local
civil defense organization.
National president of the
Women's Army Corps Veter-
ans Association, Mrs. Frank is
here for its annual mid-winter
board meeting. now in session
at the Willard Hotel.
New Orleans held a small
scale test evuacation about
three weeks ago, she reported.
and the women came out with
flying colors.
When she was setting up the
staff for the control center
Mrs. Frank began with WAC
veterans because in times Of
emergency you need people
who have had disciplinary
training"
Readiness People
They were my readiness
people," she explained. They
have been trained in service.
When you need a job done, you
don't have to say to a WAC
veteran: Please do this be-
cause You just say: DO
this And it's done"
An ardent advocate of civil
defense training, Mrs. Frank
believes Its our only hope, E"
in the event of war.
She has no patience with the
defeatist attitude that civilians
might as well give up if there's
an attack from the air.

course" she said. But this is
no assurance to any individual
that he or she will be among
those who will die.
AND the person who lives
and doesn't know what to do
in the emergency is going to
panic. That means he's a cas-
ualty, and a liability, too, be-
cause panic spreads.

today isn't from nuclear wea-
pons. It's from panic"

A half-d Oxen detectives,
dressed in old work clothes and
accompanied by wives of two of

being shoppers. entered the store

wandered away and secreted

Officers in the store erected

At midnight Nader and Burke
were seen sneaking to rear
door. They pried it open, pushed
in a bag of burglar tools and en-
tered. Police, using a specially
rugged wire, flashed on the store
lights. They opened fire as Nader
and Burke started to run.
Burke was shot down immedi-
ately and Nader was killed as he
returned the police fire.
The gunfire riddled cartons of

Support Of the WAC re-
cruiting program is another
activity of the association.
Mrs. Frank says the stand
ards now are much higher
than they we're during World
War II, and that's all to the
good.
She thinks the morale of
the corps would be vastly i'm
proved. however, if it's officers
were given comparative rank
for comparative jobs"
Full Rank for Women
There's no reason, she said
why women in the armed sery-
ices shouldn't have the oppor-
tunity to become full generals
or full admirals.
The head of the Women's
Army Corps has never had a
higher rank than full colonel.
And there's only one full
colonel in the corps" Mrs.
Frank noted.
The WAC does the un-
glamorous jobs" she contin-
ued. I'VE are not trying to
take the glory away from the
men. We don't seek to do the
shooting. We are still the
housekeepers and the Office
keepers.
But I think the women
would be much happier if they
knew a woman could attain
full rank. It's a question of
esprit de corps"
