Portland Evacuation
Test Declared To Be
"Fabulous Success7
Portland (U.R) Evaluation of
the largest surprise evacuation
in the nation's history was un
derway today and first reports
indicated it was a "fabulous suc
cess." Test sirens wailed at 3:10 p.m.
yesterday. Just 34 minutes later
thousands of vehicles and de
destrians had completely evacu
ated a 970-block area in the
heart of Portland, leaving the
streets deserted and rain-swept.
The all clear sounded at
3:59 p.m.
From atop a downtown office
building, raincoat-clad Gov.
Paul Patterson pronounced the
evacuation termed Operation
Green Light a "very observ
able success." Civil Defense di
rector Jack Lowe was full of
praise for the cooperation of
public and news media. Praise
came too from A. M. Sheets,
Oregon CD director, and Adm.
Daniel E. Barbey, Washington
CD chief.
Partly Due To Rain
CD officials said part of the
exercise's success was due to a
downpour cf rain which kept
many people out of the down
town area. Many stayed home
because the tt was impending.
Unofficial estimates indicated
about 60,000 persons evacuated
the "critical target area." Thous
ands of them walked out.
One death marred , the test.
Alden E. Erickson, 50, a. traction
company employee, collapsed
from a heart attack at his civil
defense observation post.
Police said a -rash of minor
traffic brushes occurred on the
slick streets, but only major
bottlenecks were on the bridges
across the Willamette river. One
collision on the Broadway
bridge tied up traffic for 10 min
utes. It was clear by 3:46 pjn.
Aerial Survey Hampered
An aerial survey of the opera
tion was hampered by rain and
a "ceiling" of only 400 feet. Heli
copters remained grounded by
the poor visibility.
Some 75,000 school children
took part in the test, and filed
out of classes in orderly fashion.
One large school, Lincoln high,
was in the target center area.
It took five to seven minutes
to exacuate 600 persons from the
county courthouse; nine minutes

to evacuate 1250 employees of
the Interior Department build
ing and five minutes for 900 to
100 persons to leave the state of
fice building.
Police Chief Jim Purcell, who
had threatened arrest of viola
tors, said not one arrest had to
be made. There were no fire
calls during the test.
Leaks Considerable
One hitch was that a large
number of people began leaving
the downtown area before the
sirens sounded. Civil defense
planners said "leaks" of the time
for the test must have been con
siderable. Hundreds of , persons
had to be advised beforehand so
they could take their posts.
Gov. Patterson indicated he
was surprised by the degree of
cooperation. "I thought there
would be a large minority who
would mark the exercise up as
a childish endeavor and refuse
to cooperate. It is extremely
gratifying to discover that my
fears were unfounded," he said.

Not All Hot-Rodders
Are Road Menaces.
Lawton, Okla. (U.R) Not
all hot-rodders are road menaces.
The group of Lawton souped-up
car enthusiasts known . as the
"Gasoline Cowboys" are an ex
ample of how to enjoy the sport
and stay in bounds.
The boys wanted a place tq
test their autos and blow off
steam, so they obtained a lease
from the city on a strip of land
at the old municipal airport. The
group uses it for Sunday after
noon "drag racing" exhibitions.
Local police have . endorsed
the organization and with good
reason. Not only do the boy
conduct safety checks on their
vehicles', but each member is
listed with the police depart
ment, and if he is picked up for
speeding, he is placed on proba
tion by . the club. On the second
offense, his membership is cancelled.
