confuse this emergency press
headquarters, which found It had
no radio. There were two tele
vision sets in the crowded em
ergency pressroom. But since all
TV and FM boradcastlng went
out completely this did bo good.
It had to be an AM radio or
nothing. A total of l.lSt AM ra
dio stations throughout the coun
try make up the Conelrad net
workthe word, incidentally, is
short for "control of electromag
netic radiation."
One Radio Feaad
Finally, down in the basement,
next to a memo-printing mahcine
and near the paper clips, a radio
was found. It was a leather-enclosed
battery-operated Job.
Government press attaches,
with Conelrad already upon them,
searched frantically for other ra
dios for their own use. They
turned up a powerful short wavej
radio, , which refused to work.
They found two more models, but
no batteries.
The Ions working radio, Conel
radtest and all, was disconnect
ed from the basement and rushed
upstairs to the office of Murray
Snyder, assistant White House
press secretary, who is heading up
this emergency press operation.
Body goal TkeaM
Before Snyder got the machine,
however, reporters had a chance
to near Conelrad in operation.
At this headquarters it consist
ed of the standard going-off-the-air
announcement and then a disk
Jockey playing records.
The first . selection was "The
Very Thought of You." Next came
"Body and Soul." Finally it was
"You're Driving me Craxy."
At that point the radio was
snatched away and taken to Snyd-
Cf'S Offict.
Val Peterson, bead of the Civil
Defense Administration, took the
air shortly after Conelrad went
into operation to say to the Amer
ican people:

"If your radio suddenly an
nounced that enemy planes were

it common sense in any kind of
emergency. . .
"If this were an actual attack
en our country, the President of
the United States would be speak
ing to you from where I am stand

Peterson, speaking from a sec
ret location, described the simu
lated attack and reported that im

taking to keep the country going.
