SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Wednesday. February 2, 1955
IMMEDIATE SUWOHJ A RCA. . . f
Shown are four civil defense areas in Oregon, revised at state, headquarters to keep abreast of
enemy capabilities. In casa of H-bomb attack on Portland, area of total destruction would be
three miles in radius. Other damage zones front "heavy" to "slight" extend well into adjacent
counties for distance of 12 miles from city-center. Portland, formerly target city, is now consid
ered "aiming point" for Portlaid Critical Target Area consisting of Multnomah. Washington
and Clackamas counties. Dne to threat of radiological fall-out and possible destruction of dams,
Columbia river counties are now included in Danger Area. Also in this zone are counties border
ing target area, including Marion county containing seat of government and possible conventional-bomb
target. In event of enemy attack many CD teams, would come from Immediate Snn
port and Support areas, as well as limited aid from inland states. All areas figure prominently in
caring for thousands of evacuees and disaster sufferers. :
Revision of Civilian Defense

. Dexter, la. (U.R) The air
liner in farmer Fred Lenocker's
backyard has made his horse
neurotic, but Lenacker isn't
complaining. .';.-. . ' V
The .' United Air Lines Con
vair belly-landed on ; Lenocker's
farm 'Jan. 19. Only one of the
39 persons aboard wasr injured.
But .. Lenocker's horse was
only a few yards, from the plane
when it smashed through a fence
and skidded across a field. '-'.-.
Horse Found Next Day
The horse bucked off a farm
hand, took off across the field
and wasn't found until the next
day. It was a week before any
one could get close , enough to
the animal to get the bridle off.
and Lenocker said the horse is
"still awful jumpy."
Salem A revision of civil de
fense planning assumptions,
based on the H-bomb and new
developments in warfare, is be
ing distributed this week by the
Oregon Civil Defense agency to
all local organizations.
The revisions are to aid disaster-relief,
planners in keeping
abreast of increased enemy ca
pabilities. Reexamination Seen
The memorandum, which calls
for continual re-examination of
CD plans, states that" in event
of an H-bomb "attack on Port
land, the area of total destruc
tion would be three miles in
radius. This zone has a daytime
population of approximately
335,000. Other damage zones
ranging from "heavy" to
"slight" extend well into adja
cent counties , for a distance of
,-12 miles from city-center.
Portland, formerly the target
citv. is now considered an "aim
ing point" for the "Portland
Critical Target Area" consisting
of Multnomah, Washington and
Clackamas counties and Clark
county in Washington.
Due to threat of radiological
fall-out and possible destruction
of dams, all Columbia river
counties are now included in
the "Danser Area.'- Also in this
zone are counties bordering tar
get 3rea Yamhill, Columbia,
ClatsoD. Tillamook as well as
Marion Countv.- which : contains
the . seat of -government and is
considered a likely ; target tor
conventional and incendiary
bombs.

drawn from throughout Oregon
and from Idaho, which has been
assigned to Oregon as a "Sup
port State." All counties would
have responsibilities in caring
for evacuees.
Other , p o i n t s made in the
memorandum, which is designed
solely for planning purposes:
Russia has greatly increased
its weapons stockpile and ability
to deliver them.
- Primary object of an enemy
would . be to destroy war-production
capacity and our will
to resist by striking centers of
population and industry. Initial
attack would be in the nature
of a knock-out blow.
Distance provides the best pro
tection. Considering' destructive
power of H-bomb and probabil
ity of receiving at least one
hour's warning - it is necessary
to develop an evacuation plan,
supplemented by an adequate
shelter program. , ; -r
Before evacuation plans are
operational, citizens must know
who should evacuate, when to
start, over what route, how far
to travel to reach safety, and
how it is to be accomplished.
Radioactive fall-out over 's
large area can be expected, but
civil defense officials should be
concerned first with the primary
effects of nuclear weapons,, heat
and blast Temporary evacuation
of communities located down
wind from a bombed city would
be necessary. ;
The 54 traffic control points
(10 state, 44 county) are now
operational and can stop all traf
fic from entering Portland and
facilitate the movement of traf
fic leaving there.
An enemy attack on the Port
land area would result in dam
age and casualties far beyond its
endurance. To recover from dis
aster of this magnitude, outside
help would be required. -
The report concluded: "Nu
clear weapons will not confine
their damage, within political
boundaries. Plans are contin
ually revised and adjusted, as
is the case with the military,
but the- yardstick for civil de
fense remains the same: The
care of the people." '
Dixon-Yates Pact Gets
Dissension Blame
Washington (U.R) Chair
man Clinton P. Anderson of the
congressional Atomic - Energy
committee said today; that the
Dixon-Yates power contract is
at the root of dissension within
the Atomic Energy commission.
" The New Mexico Democrat
made the statement: as another
committee Democrat, Sen. Hen-
fry M. Jackson (Wash.), said he
j believes the Dixon-Yates dispute
has "cut down on the time" that
the 'commission has been able
to - devote to both civilian and
military applications of atomic
energy.
The two Democrats express
ed their views as the committee
moved behind closed doors to
continue hearings on" the pro
gress of the atom's industrial
development.
