LONDON (UP) More than 1.000.. 000 London school children probably will be evacuated from the metro- polls In the event of air raids in t future war. The London county council In con junction with the government U. working out plans for evacuation of school children and closing of all schools In the London area as i precaution against the air raid men ace. More than 525.000 children under the age of 14 attend the 1,125 ele mentary (putjile) schools under the London county council's , charge There are also another 190,000 older children in tho 246 secondary schools (high schools) In the London .area. Thousands more children attend pri vate schools. According to the London county council plans, the evacuation would be carried out as an Integral part of any scheme for general evacuation of civil populations If air raids made London uninhabitable. At present the government has no set plans for such mass migration, which in the light of tragic experiences of war-ravaged Madrid and Barcelona It is admitted would bo very difficult. It Is realized however, that a series of devastating raids might make evacuation neces sary. One Idea Is that children tn schools In danger zones should bt transferred to schools In less exposed districts, ihat twould. in practice, probobly mean the Immediate closing down of most schools In London's east end and eastern suburbs which bore the brunt of the worst World war air raids. Owing to Its nearness to the docks and factory belt, this area of London probably would be an im mediate target for bombers. A London county council commit tee which worked out these air raid plans suggested it probably would be necessary to close all London schools for a limited period during an emergency. The committee added, however, that it Is Impossible "to predict with any precision what conditions would prevail in London in the event of a future war involv ing attack from the a'r on a large scale." The problem of evacuating children and closing schools would be made even more difficult by the fact that London probably would have at most 10 to 15 minutes warning of the approach of atr ratders, comparo with the half an hour or more was? liy; during the World war. The speed of modern bombing planes makes London probably the most vulnerable big target tn Eur ope. Even Paris Is less vulnerable, since It Is at least a half hours flight from the nearest frontier while enemy planes could fly almost un detected until they reached the Eng lish coast.
