ATOM ATTACK ON U. $._ The Federal Civil Defense said recently that Russia could send a number of planes against cities of the Unit- ed States and industrial centers at a moment's notice and could drop a quantity of atomic bombs. The FCDA egti- fates that each bomb would cause about 110,000 cqgual- ties. Further, the FCDA estimates that one all-out atomic attack would kill or injure about 11,000,000, about 7,- 000,000 would eventually die. A Civil Defense official said the report, which con- tained these estimates,“are either a dramatic over-state- ment of the problem or a retreat from the reality of growing Soviet capabilities.” | Acting-Administrator James J. Wadsworth, refuses to become alarmed over civil defense not making progress, but not keeping pace with the growing threat to national security. He warned that America’s civil defense is not developing fast enough to meet the threat now facing the country. It has long been realized and admitted by Air Forte officials that as many as seven out of ten enemy bothbers would get through to their target in casé of a surprise at- tack. Despite American fighter interception, thére has never been a case where every bomber, in a major well- planned bombing attack, has been shot down before re- leasing its bombs over the target area. As we see it, the primary concern of civil defense in this country should be in the iarger cities and industrial areas. It is understandable why some inhabitants of smaller, far-removed towns, refuse to become alarmed over civil defense. However, every citizen in éne of our large industrial areas is directly threatened and the Gov- ernment should push the civil defénse program vigorous- ly in these areas. Underground shelters, proper indoctringtion, goed warning systems and every other approach te the prob- Jem should be worked out as soon as possible. Many U. 8. cities today are wide open to devastating aerial atomie attack and the average Américan seems to find it hard to admit the gravity of the situation. There is not ample time to get around to the real problem. If an attack comes to- morrow, tomorrow will be too late to save seme of the 7,000,000 Americans. Those who sleep in foxholes in Korea find it hard to understand some of their fellow Americans back home. “| NOTAS CUBANAS UNIFIED?

MENDOZA A PEEP AT PEEPERS There Godiva. She was the first bare back equestrian — and I do through the streets of Coventry started this whole peeping busi-| ii ness, immortalizing the name Tom as a necessary adjunct to the term peeping. This associa- sands of Toms in this world. I might venture to say that some of these Toms would refrain from peeping even at a chicken whose feathers have been pluck- ed. So let's quit using the phrase Peeping Tom. Rather, use the name of the person who did the peeping. For example, if it was z if : : j £ al I ii | 38 was Dave, say Peeping Dave; if it was John, say Peeping John. keep However, if you want to be real classy in your use of words, | yj, never call a peeper, a peeper. |i, Use the medical term, voyeur. Tell the peeper that he is an ac- complished voyeur, that he is unexcelled-in the art of voyeur- ism. Mysterious words like this might make him think that he has talents that he didn’t know anything about. With this thought in mind, he will ex- |; amine his aptitudes more care- fully. If he finds himself musi-|. cally inclined, he might learn to play some instrument. The next thing you know, the peeper will |; be a piano player in a burlesque house, and all because you call- ed him a voyeur instead of Peep- ing Tom. There is real magic in the proper use of words. Some peepers I have pear through bedroom windows Reape other than oe displays. These peepers get a thrill out of four poster beds with canopy on top. They peep through countless windows at night in order to find one of these unique beds. Any other activity going on in the bed- room at the time has no mean- ing whatsoever to them. All they want is a glimpse of that four poster bed. Other peepers are interested in interior decorat- ing, electrical fixtures, bedroom slippers, or other things that one might find in a bedroom. The hu- man element is insignificant. There is one particular peeper in Key West who is fond of peep- ing at flat feet, A flat foot seems to intrigue him. If any of you have flat feet, please arrange an appointment with a local foot doctor. He knows more about foot trouble than any other Key . | Wester. Some way I am going to write a column on flat feet and their socio-political significance. There are even star-peepers in Key West. Not satisfied with at- tending to the business of this world, they start peeping at other stars and planets through their telescopes. Even the moon isn’t sacred to them, They insist on peeping at every one of her mountain ranges, and mores. As if what is going on in the moon is any concern of theirs.
