Commercial Men Plan Steps In pb! Case Of Attack Traveling Salesmien Give Thought About Possibility Of Atom Bomb Assault Soon By SAM DAWSON YORK (@—The farmer’ isn't the agnly thing on ing salesman’s mind these days. The atom bomb has changed all that If bombs fall on NEW daughter the trav an American city, what happens to the business man who may be visiting there— or to yourself if you're caught off home base? Always supposing, of course, that you aren't a casualty Travelling salesmen aren't the only businessmen involved. Busi nessmen are constantly on the go these days, visiting branches 1 sources. bureaus the company or mate consulting government seeking new sales outlets Many travel in their own cars some in company planes. If a bomb falls, will these cars or planes be confiscated? Will the transient be speeded on his way or interned, or pressed into relief duties? And will fe be allowed to communicate with his family? Varied, and sometimes conflict ing, rules are set up in the dif ferent states, according to the Bu au of Salesmen’s National Asso tions. Its members are organ- ions in the apparel and shoe trades. The businessman who may! be caught away from home by some sudden attack on the United States could find’ his return trip one great puzzle and confusion, the bureau says, unless a uniform rule can be worked out To find out what would happen to its travelling members, the Na tional Association of Women’s and Children’s Apparel Salesmen—a member of the bureau—has polled the civil defense directors of the 48 states and the District of Co lumbia and has 37 replies. Here's what might happen to you in some of these 37, if a surprise attack singled one of them out: Colorado plans to impound all vehicles ‘‘for disposition at stra- tegieally located traffic detention points throughout the state,”’ the association report shows. And the association says 85 per cent of its members travel by car and it thinks that’s’ fairly representative of travelling salesmen asa Whole these days Georgia, Maryland, Ohio and the District of Columbia plan to in- tern the travellers or draft all able-bodied ones for relief work. Connecticut and Rhode Island, on the other hand, are quoted as saying’ they “Will” speéd “ally tean- sients out of the state as quickly as possible. Connecticut urges salesmen never to let their gaso- line tanks go below the half way mark—‘‘a half tank of gas will take you to the border from any point in the state.” Idaho has an eye on the 40,000 tourists who are likely to be in Northern California — When the weather isn’t too unusual—and so Idaho plans to ration gasoline in event of trouble to keep east-bound transients from draining the state dry. “Business travellers are urged to carry identification cards to ex- pedite movement through road blocks,’ Idaho tells the associa tion. Eight states are reported by the association as having no specific rules as yet covering the travel lers within their borders should an attack come. They are Florida Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississip pi, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Texas. Most rvivors of a bombing would give first thought to getting in touch with their families. In most states civil defense and mili- tary needs will take all communi cation facilities at once. Some states, however, such as Califor Time To Go Home 2 SOVIET FOREIGN MINISTER sembly all points of Vishinsky’s so-call fment which were referred to the new U.N. di had planned to handle personally, so now Vishinsky leaves f foreign Mhiniste remains in P of | worried Proceedings as he studies bis fingernails. looks at Paris Athis right is Soviet delegate.
