This business of what to do about civil defense weighs
on our mind. 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.
