Forbid Visiting
At Military
Installations
NEW YORK, (iP) — The navy
buttoned up on all coasts yester
day. By order of the chief of naval
operations, casual visitors were
not permitted at shore stations.
Air force bases on the west
coast took similar precautions as
a result of the Korean situation.
Civilian defense units formed
there and in some west coast com
munities World War II air raid
sirens were set up.
In San Francisco air, naval and
army commanders jointly an
nounced readiness to carry out
any orders from President Tru
man.
The naval order said that while
casual visitors would not be per
mitted, normal visiting would be
allowed in installations ‘where
conditions justify such exception.”
“Until further orders general
visiting will not be permitted on
1 board ships berthed at shore sta
tions,” the order said. “Visiting on
'board ships at Anchorages or at
I commercial or municipal piers will
be controlled by responsible sen
ior officers in such a manner as to
eliminate possible damage to
ships.
“On July 4 visiting will be per
mitted only on board ships not
berthed at naval installations, and
such visiting shall be carefully
controlled.”
