All radio and TV stations in this area, except KMED and KYJC, will go off the air dur ing the "Conelrad" test. The "Conelrad" procedure has been devised for the pur pose of reducing the naviga tional aid a potential enemy might obtain from our radio and television broadcast sta tions.

Recommend Shelter Civil defense recommended that every family in a potential fallout area have if possible an underground shelter or basement refuge. An underground shelter with at least three feet of earth cover will reduce radiological hazard to 1 oOUOth of that in the open. Preparation of a basement weapon couici extend as mucn , sneiter will reduce the hazard to as 40 miles wide and 200 miles j 1, Kith of that in the open. Ions, and thousands of square j Where no prepared shelter is miles in the vicinity of some tar-i av ailable, under fallout condi tions, families are urged to go to an inside t-oom on the ground floor of their home, and to shut all doors and windows. Emergency Supplies The civil defense shelter pro gram calls tor every family to stock emergency supplies, such as food, water, flashlight, blan kets, and portable radio for the reception of civil defense news and instructions. It is recognized that under an actual nuclear attack, the radio logical danger could be so se vere that it might be necessary for families to stay in shelter for as much as a week or more. In announcing plans for Opera tion Alert, civil defense officials emphasized that it is designed as a training exercise, and is not in any sense a "test"' of civil de fense capabilities or effective ness. They pointed out that no training exercise predicated on a make-believe attack could be a civil defense -test'' any mora than peacetime "war games"' or naval maneuvers could be a "test" of the army or navy capa bility to defend America in a war. worth o.3oovi:t "7 -A C0ES FARTHER, TOO! .1' ffcr 1 (Mill .li '.Mil help -5 ri-r: j! and ruic pr;i;.!i,. into motion.
