MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. FRIDAY. JUNE 13. 1941. Americans Should Learn What to Do, Where to Go If Airblitz Should Come By Don Whitehead and Frank I. Waller New York, June 13 Special Newi Serviced Many strange and fearsome and important lessons are in store for Ameri cans from Europe's unnatural sky-war on helpless human beings. The U. S. Office of Civilian Defense, directed by Mayor F. H. La Guardia of New York, will teach them. They will be gin soon. They are dedicated to protection of the non-combat ant. War may never come, but the OCD insists that potential vic tims here know beforehand, and be fortified thereby, for the things it may be too late to learn if some day warplanes roar to our shores. They include: "The taller the building the afer its occupants; bomb dam age Is comparatively negligible to steel and concrete structures. "Buildings supported by walls alone readily collapse. "Massed residences made of wood cannot be protected. "Bomb-proofed private gar ages and public buildings are the safest air raid shelters. "Huge municipal above ground shelters are not feas ible. "Subway protection is ques tionable. "Modern building basements are relatively safe. "Private home and small apartment sub-cellars are risky. "Death and injury is inescap able for many. "Great fires cannot be pre vented, but may be controlled. "Hunger privation, disease and mental and nervous dis orders are constant problems. Gas Threat Known "And the enemy will use poison gas whenever it no longer fears retaliation." All this the British know. They have told officials here. The next step is to make the people understand, and win their help in a national effort to save their lives in the event of war. OCD believes Europe's air blitz would have been far less effective if weaker neighbors had been informed and armed to resist, as their nation now' has a chance to be. Officials will concentrate first on protection of buildings hous ing 100 or more persons whether they be apartments, hotels, theatres, office buildings, factories, warehouses, stores. shops and all manner of prop erties. Lesser units and the in dividual household, too. will re ceive safety instructions and escape facilities. The big task is to handle mankind marked for mass mur der in the great concentrated centers and on crowded streets. Fifth columnists spotted these first for the luftwaffe in 17 van quished European countries, with devastating effect where defense mechanism faltered and hysteria took its toll. In LaGuardia's plans wardens for each strategic city will des ignate "safety" areas, namely those in which buildings offer air-raid shelter. The superintendent or man ager will have charge of his building's defense plan, the ten ant defense groups, first-aid and rescue supplies and be respon sible for sounding the alarm. He will be the "control direc tor." Classes Planned Key men will conduct defense classes, regulate the blackouts and enforce rules for personal behavior of their people while bombs are falling. The service squads will con struct and maintain shelters, co operate with police and fire men, assist mobile first-aid and rescue squads, safeguard water and gas lines, roofs, sanitation, boiler rooms and steam pipes, ventilation, elevators, refricera- tion, auxiliary power plants and the thin beams of permissible indoor lightning. An oddity of air attack Is that only one bomb in a mil lion strikes center atop a sky scraper. Americans have shud dered in apprehension of thou sands of persons toppling to death from great heights if these buildings were hit. Bombs more likely strike a glancing blow and rip out sections of sidewall without serious dam age, or hit the street and spat ter the first six floors with steel splinters. The central structure stands and the basement are safe from collapse of superstructure. Oc cupants are more or less secure.
