DR.. FRANK GRAHAM'S
TRIBUTE YESTERDAY
TO BRUCE ETHERIDGE

Dr. Frank P. Graham, former
Senator, former president of the
University of North Carolina, and
foremost figure yet in world
affairs, jotted down on a tablet
these thoughts which came to his
mind while sitting at the celebra-
ton honoring Mr.. and Mrs. R.
Bruce Etheridge Thursday:
We come today to celebrate
A man, who long has served
the state,
The revered, beloved Duke OF
of Dare,
Among his people true and fair,
For whom so often he clearly
spoke,
This rugged oak of Roanoke.
He sought our forests to conserve,
Our parks and Fairgrounds TO
preserve,
The ocean, rivers and the sounds,
In which the fish still abound.
On this beautiful ancestral
strand
He takes his modest, valiant
stand
For schools and roads, the
peoples health,
The progress of the common
wealth.
For Bruce of Scotland's tales
long told
Was named our Bruce, his life
to unfold
On this original historic shore,
For eighty useful years and more.
To him, devoted daughter,
beloved wife,
Who has sustained and blest his
life
And public service, all these years,
We bring our love, our hopes,
our cheers.
All hail to his life and spirit
rare,
All hail to Bruce, the Duke Of
Dare,
The rugged oak of Roanoke;
Long may you serve in prayerful
hope;
These local waters in widening
scope
Will encompass the world and
the peoples good
With freedom, peace and
brotherhood.

would be responsible for organ
izing for civil defense for expenses
in connection with operating such
units.
He said that Dare County, not
being a military target would be
considered a refuge area in event
of evacuation of Norfolk, and that
this county would be expected to
take care of some 1000 evacuees
out of Norfolk.
In event of enemy attack it is
hoped that some three hours warn
ing time would be given for peo-
pie to Immediately evacuate cities
considered military targets.
The Importance of civil defense
was emphasized in the outline
given by Col. Crawford and Mr..
Culvern.
Dare County is not alone in it's
indifference to the Importance of
Civil Defense. The following
article from the Virginian-Pilot
indicates complacencv in Norfolk
itself, which is a highly vulner-
able military target:
"Where was Civil Defense when
the balloon almost went up?
"This is a teasing question many
people are asking, including those
who work with the passive defense
organization.
$50 far as can be determined
not the slightest ripple ran
through the so-called Federal Civil
Defense Administration July Is
when the U. S. took a painful and
calculated risk in Lebanon.
"There were few who actually
believed the landing of U. S. Ma
rines would trigger an all-out
war, but, by the same token, there
were even fewer who did not rec
ognize the terrible danger of the
situation.
"The nations entire military
machine was quickly geared for
any eventuality. Pentagon authori-
ties were working around the clock
and expecting anything-from a
growl in the Kremlin to a sub
marine missile attack on the U. s.
"But Civil Defense didn't even
tremble. No special alert plan was
activated, no special provisions
were made to handle an emergen-
cy situation. Federal officials
merely were watching the situa-
tion."
Peculiar Circumstance
"This is peculiar circumstance
since CD officials have long real
lied they must tailor their plan:
to a Strategic warning time sys.
tenn" This means that when worlt
conditions;' or an isolated situation
like that in the Middle East, de.
teriorate significantly a prepare
tory plan is put into effect.
"Such a strategic plan would
! call for the evacuation from crit
cal target areas OF certain per
] sons. The entire evacuation plar
would have to be phased and care
fully executed to avoid deadly con
| fusion and jamming of transpor
tation facilities and channels.
"That no form of evacuation OF
emergency action was dictated By
| the Middle East crisis is obvious
at this point. But what is not 81
obvious is why no preliminar.
warning on the situation came ou

i "No clearer warning of impend
ing trouble is likely to come thai
i the July 10 move in Lebanon

move, certainly win not announc

pally submarines will tip such

City Heads Seek Bill
To Roze Old Markets

The District Commissioners
are finally seeking legislation
to raze two old marketing land
marks in Southwest Washing
ton.
One is the Fish Market, OPP
Grating off the wharf since 1918
on the Washington Channel
between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets S,W.
The other is the Farmers
Market, established in 1881 at
Eleventh and F streets S. w.
Both operations have failed
to keep pace with modern liv-
ing and buying habits. accord
ing to the Commissioners. They
want the land for the proposed
Southwest freeway and new
center of shops and restau-
rants in a facelifted Southwest.
Boundaries of Land
Their legislative draft seeks
the land bounded by e, G,
Eleventh and Twelfth streets
S.W. and the frontage on the
channel between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets S.W.
Congress reserved tn Sc
tracts originally for the mar
kets and must lift that bar to
other land use to clear the way
for the new construction. The
freeway is to be started in this
area by next January 10.
Before then, six months will
be needed to relocate utilities
and remove the markets.
The Commissioners said they
want to build a detour road
into the wharf so fiShboats
could continue to deliver pro-
duce and sell from their tied
up craft during this time.
Two Economic Reports
Attached to the legislative
resolutions were two economic
reports prepared by Frederick
M. Babcock g. Co.
ConsultantS of the firm rec
commended that neither the
farmers nor the f1shermen's
market be relocated. About
200 stalls at the farmers mar
ket, some for truckers and
others for smaller dealers. are
seldom filled, they noted.
Traders seeking other space to
