Charge & Data on A-Biasf Effects Withheld Washington U.PJ Repi Chet Holifield (D-Calif) accused the administration Saturday of jeopardizing national ' survival by suppressing informati on about the "ugly effects"- of A bombs and H-bombs. Holifield, a veteran member of the Senate-House Atomic En ergy Commission, called on Pres ident Eisenhower to make public now secret data which he said Is essential to civil defense plan ning . : ' ; "Suppression of the facts re garding atomic-hydrogen wea pon effects is not only an insane policy of self-deception," Holi field said, "but it is a threat to national survival." Urges Legion Efforts ? : 'J Holifield, addressing the Am erican Legion's National Secur ity Council, urged the Legion to spearhead a nationwide move ment to make federal agencies reveal what he called the inade quacies of the U. S. civil defense program. . - Earlier, Civil Defense Admini strator Val Peterson had report ed it may be two years yet be fore most American cities can expect as much as four to six hours ' advance warning of an enemy nuclear assault. Peterson said most cities now have up to one hour warning time. But he added there is no guarantee of any advance notice at all. r.i Wants Cauliious Approach -. I Then, in a panel discussion fol lowing Holifield's speech Peter son said the government must take the "cautious approach" on H-bomb information. He said he hopes "We don't carry this busi ness, of being cautious too far so that we stifle some good de fense ideas.'!-,.- ' . "But, he added, "there are times when you don't like t to talk about, this business because you might give confidential in formation to the enemy." Holifield said America's civil defense' program is "tragically inadequate." He added that Con gress never will appropriate suf ficient funds for civil defense unless the public is told the facts. c : r?- w km -u ::t'::f .rs?j If uv k v - :l t- J f ,. . . ....
