PAGE EIGHT CHAMBER HEARS OF CIVIL DEFENSE PLANS FOR ALASKA The Chamber of Com- learned first-hand to organize Alaska communities for self-aid in an emergency, from the Director of Civil Defense for the Territory Col. Joseph D. Alexander gave a practical, informal discussion which included {r talk about civilian evacuation (no) and evacuation of military dependents (yes), as well as the role of the Alaska National Guard in case of disas'er (attack). Civil Defense plns,” he said, “are ¢ than your business and mine Juneau merce - today about plans and everybody's. Civil Defense is an insurance policy There have been cases in which hundreds of persons perished who could have been saved had there been a defi- nite plan of action. We are using Civil Defense plans such as were used in World War IL” Colonel Alexander emphasized the distinction between active defense combat against an enemy, a strictly military matter—and passive de- fense, the actions of civilians to protect themselves. After Gov. Ernest Gruening's proclamation providing for a Civil Defense set-up and a meeting ot representatives with the Governor two weeks ago in Anchorage for over-all planning, Colonel 'Alex- ander wrote Alaska mayors to urge separate defense set-ups. After the meeting, Mayor Waino Hendrickson said that such a (‘i\)l‘wxll fhen be’ ‘stoiéd “fh the Fmr‘ Defense organization for Juneau will be an important matter for cosgideration at the City Council meeting tomorrow night, With the help of an Advisory | Council, Alexander is preparing Civil Defense Manual for Alaska, complete with “d don'ts and diagrams.” Advisory Council members are Neil Fritchman, Robert Haag, Per- ry Hobbs, Larry Parker, Floyd Guertin and Henry Harmon. The Civil Defense director hopes that all rumors of general evacu- ation may be dispelled. He dis- courages a policy of evacuation, saying that (1) nothing would be gained; (2) should there be a war, the- .people already here and es- tabljshed, would be needed in the war effort; (3) if Alaskans ‘were to leave their homes and businesses, where would they go? “‘However,” said Colonel Alex- ander, “you are entitled to know that there should be evacuation of military dependents. Why? Be- cause most military dependents live Chamber urged to do some range planning on project, for future long- the car-feiry \ seasons. joint dinner meeting Monday nig of the Juneau and Portland C ber of Commerce representatives SOAP BOX DERBY TRYOUTS; HERE IS spection on Friday Night on 12th Street Hill Soap box races have been unfor- tunate this week in that there has | been rain every day and the boys have had no chance to |and try out their cars. there are some tried out and this should be done No doubt now so that drivers will have a chande to make any necessary changes. | Tonight at 7 o'clock on 1lith Street, unless it is raining too hard, there will be practice runs.

He re-em- | phasized the responsibility of civ- ilians to make Civil Defense “self- contained.” A post-war report from across the world was given by Al Zenger, who has just returned from a month in Germany and Austria. “People keep asking m= about conditions and how the German people feel” said Zenger. “Why, they feel the same as we do on one important subject: they do not want war.” Zenger called conditions in Ger- many pitiful, describing the ruined buildings, the meager fare on whici the average family subsists and the lack of hope for the future. “Just, let any unsatisfied Amer- jcans go. there,” he suggested. “Let them talk to those who went through the last war and the one before that, and who expect an- other one.” Zenger illustrated his little talk | with personal anecdotes touching on domestic life, unemployment and general living conditions. He be- | lieves that Austria has a much better chance of “snapping out of it” than Germany. In the absence of President Rob- ert Boochever, Vice President . E. Green presided at the luncneon meeting in the Baranof Gold Room. The only visitor was Salvation Army Lt. Norman §teinig, who suc- ceeds Capt, Henry Lorenzen here.
