We've read quite a bit on the subject, attended some meetings and talked to many friends. Those we talk with are in as much doubt and confusion as we are-if any of them have built bomb shelters, or stored food and water supplies, they do not talk about it. Pappy and I have not built a shelter, and as the situation stands now, we don't intend to do so. Perhaps we are wrong, perhaps something will change our minds. But right now we believe that to build a shelter would be absolutely futile. Recently the ways and means committee of the Oregon Senate began action to reduce to a minimum the Oregon Civil Defense agency. Because of this a number of Jackson and Josephine county citizens have gone to Salem to attend hearings on the matter. The delegations have Included Edwin Taylor and Don Faber, county commissioners, C. W. Crews of Central Point, Mrs. Harlan Bosworth and Irving Thomas of Medford. Mrs. Bosworth came in recently to talk about the hearing, bringing some literature and clippings. The day she attended, and spoke, Mrs. Bosworth told the committee that she, and many others, believe that the shelter program gives citizens a false sense of security. She thinks that most people do not fully understand what a thermo-nuclear war can mean, that the Civil Defense has so many facets It Is confusing the public, that it is controlled by the military, rather than civilians, and most of all she believes that the time, effort, money and brains being expended on this pro gram should be spent instead on seeking peace. Mrs. B. be lieves that real security can come only with a ban on further nuclear testing, and on disarmament. At the Salem hearing Dr. George Streisinger of the University of Oregon backed up Mrs. Bosworth's statements by saying it is ridiculous to talk about living underground and then emerging into a post-nuclear war world where civil ization is gone, animals and plants are dead and insects and disease are rampant. Mrs. Bosworth believes also that this country misunder stands the intentions of the Soviets on the spread of com-munism-that they plan to spread this ideology by means other than war, since to start a nuclear war would inevitably mean great destruction in their own country as well in others. This woman dedicated to the cause of peace believes that It is a poor state of affairs when the threat of nuclear war is used so extensively as an instrument of foreign policy. She wonders how people in the countries who cannot pos sibly have a shelter program react to the fact the govern ment of the United States is urging its people to prepare for a life underground. Added to all this we read with great interest the letters of Maj. Gen. Hicks, an anonymous Ashland resident and George Reed in Wednesday's "Letters to the Editor" in this paper. General Hicks, of course, stales the official position of Civil Defense, since he is the Jackson County director, and it carries a note of authority. The nameless Ashland writer believes that citizens should not depend upon Salem and Washington too much, but should work the problem out on a local level, and Mr. Rccd believes that "the shelters, if built, will be the tombs of those who are afraid to face the truths behind the real causes of war." So, he must in essence agree with Mrs. Bosworth, who said to the legislative committee that the "real problem is not how to survive nuclear attacks, but how to prevent them." . One of the pieces of literature brought to us and issued by the Eugene Peace Information center, has one particularly forceful paragraph: "We believe that civil defense is, In itself, an aggressive act. For those who fail to see how civil defense can possibly be aggressive, we quote from General Carl Spaatz, retired Air Force Chief of Staff, who unintentionally points out this aggressive nature. He says 'It will be particularly important for us to know from now on whether the Soviet Union is building civilian shelters for its own people. This can be one of the most significant Indicators of its intentions, if and when it gets ready lo launch a surprise attack.' If we are to assume that civil defense preparations in Russia are an indication of hostile intent, how do we expect Russia to view such prepara tions on our part?" O. S.
