CIVIL DEFENSE
Wider Federal Role

triple the pending request for
civil defense funds.
At the same time, however,
his message raised some issues
that if not quickly resolved can
ruin the program on Capitol
Hill, according to key Congress-
men. s1a
He opened a battle between
people who want to maintain
civilian control of civil defense
and those who want to turn it
over to the military. And he
questioned the value of civil
defense in I'd terrin g" the
enemy.
Mr.. Ellis new civil defense
package was prepared at high
speed by the OCDM staff after
Mr.. Ellis looked over his assign
ment in January and was ap-
palled by what he saw.
Civil defense obviously was
going nowhere. 1t consisted Of
a lot of paper plans and a few
isolated active programs. The
Federal Government was sup
posed to be co-ordinating and
advising. but civil defense was
really little more than a do-it-
yourself handbook for State
and local governments and in
dividual citizens.
After years of advice from
Uncle Sam, only 1865 Ameri-
cans had seen fit to build home
shelters. Government agencies
had been inspired to build ex-
actly IA shelters in the thous-
ands of public buildings in the
country.
The Popular Idea
OCDM experts said the pub
lie had three convictions about
it:
First, nuclear war won't
happen, so civil defense is use
less.
Second, if it does happen,
civil defense won't save us.
Third, if some Americans
do survive, they will be better
off dead.
The net effect was that civil
defense was making little con-
tribution to national security
but still was costing the Federal
Government about $50 million
a year.
Mr.. Ellis decided it should be
an effective program or no
program. He set about to re-
make the civil defense program
with the same vigor that he
used to put the Kennedy john
son team over in Louisiana. He
was Mr.. Kennedy's campaign
manager there and one of his
few effective Southern boosters.
Basic Question: Usefulness
His first problem was to
decide if civil defense really
can be useful. He found the
existing program rested on
assumption that made real use
fulnesS look pretty remote. For
instance, most of the planning
assumed that if there was a
war, the enemy would strike
without warning against all
major American cities, using
his largest bombs in the most
devastating way.
Calculations indicated that
this sort of attack would kill
and destroy to such an extent
that the average person would
not believe the country would
survive-win or lose the war.
At the same time, however
New Frontier military strate-
gists who had been studying
lnuclear war problems had de.
cided that this sort of massive

Few old-timers at the Capitol
would have thought a year ago
that the then Democratic leader
Of the Senate, Mr.. Johnson,
would be presiding today at
the induction into office of a
Republican as his successor.
The unusual event is believed
to be largely the result of the
inability of the liberal and mod
crate Democrats in Texas to
get together on a candidate.

The Tower victory cut the

to 64-36.

legend that it would be Los Angeles year

the Dodgers.

THE DODGERS ONLY had one run in

August l3 they won 10 of %, picked up 81a

In Cleveland a spokesman for

Halfback Bobby Mitchell, now
on Army duty at Fort Meade

Western Illinois College back,
for the negotiating rights to
Davis. Jackson was the Browns

"Nobody'S told me anything
about it. My names Marshall

the deal was made by tele-

Davis Traded for Mitchell
And Rookie Browns Say

However, Davis also was the
Buffalo Bills No. choice in
the American League and they
are reported ready to go high
to sign him. The players salary
demands, plus the fact that the
Redskins were not unanimous
in ranking him the best pos
Sible choice for their needs, un-
doubtedly is a factor in trading
the rights to him to Cleveland.
Three Other Bids
The Redskins had offers for
Davis from at least three other
NFL teams, but the Redskins
had insisted that they would
sign him.
Only yesterday it was re-
vealed that Attorney Ed Will
liams had prevailed on his
close friend and client, Repre-
sentative Adam Powell, Demo-
crat of New York, to use his
influence in signing Davis.
Two days ago, Arthur Model,

club, visited Anthony de Filippo,

WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
1865 Top Flop Team Was the Dodqers

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED to an
acquaintance last night. He picked up the
telephone and he wasn't dialing for the
weather report. Then he hung up and
muttered dazedly: How about that? The
early line has the Redskins favorites!"
1t has been two head coaches and
more than IA months ago since the Redskins
beat anybody. They've played % straight,
including n-championship games, with
out winning. Their complete '60-'61 record
is 1928
Goodness knows when they've last been
favorites but come Sunday in the finale at
D. c. Stadium they apparently will be
slight choices to laSso the Dallas Cowboys,
probably for two reasons. One is the law
of averages; the more important is rela-
lively scintillating record against the
Cowboys.
The two clubs have met twice since
Dallas was admitted to the National League
1t was against the Cowboys on October 9,
1860, that Washington last won game.
This season they achieved their only non
loss, a 1928 tie, in Dallas
All of which is presented more as
public service than as Thought For Today.
The latter is: What team was the biggest
flop in 1861?
WELL, IT CAN'T BE the Redskins be-
cause off their last seasons record who
expected anything? No ball carriers, a
rookie quarterback, etc No. the top flop
had to be the Los Angeles Dodgers in the
other National League, where they play
with little round white ball.
