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.
