Col. Landrelh Talks
On Civil Defense
At Rotary Club
Col. Earl Landreth, territorial
director ot civil defense, spoke at
a regular meeting of the Juneau
Rotary club at the Baranof Ho
tel this noon.
He outlined the civil defense
framework on the federal, terri
torial and local levels and listed
the functions of each. He said
that it is not likely that an atomic
bomb would drop on Juneau but
that it w'ould probably be a tar
get for fire bombs and high ex
plosives.
"If anything happens, wc’U be j
apt to be in the middle of it up
here in Alaska,’’ Landreth said.
He pointed out the importance
of civil defense being well organ
ized on local levels to cope with
possible disaster.
There was discussion regarding
entertaining the Juneau teachers
.shortly after the opening of school.
A vote favored an evening meet
ing with wives attending and some
entertainment such as colored
slides.
Paul S. Swensson, Seattle mon
umental distributor, was a visit
ing Rotarian. Other guests were
Lt. Col. J. D Flewelling of the
engineering division of the .Alaska
Communication;; System, and John
Dunn, Juneau attorney.
Atomic Submarine
Contract Awarded
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21— (M—
A contract for the first atomic
powered submarine has been
awarded to the Electric Boat Co.,
at Groton, Conn., the navy an
nounced today.
The announcement gave no de
tails. The fact that a formal con
tract has been let, however, pre
sumably indicates the project was
advanced to a point where the
navy l^els confident a nuclear
powered submarine can be built.
An informal report to Congress
last February said great progress
toward such a submarine had been j
made in experimental work.

Scrutiny of Pearl Harbor
Forecasting Ring Scheduled
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21—(jW-—•»
I'he fabulous success story of a
jre-war Red spy ring was prom
sed the closest scrutiny today by
Senate investigators.
The story, first told in February,
1949, involves a Communist op
ration which included three Am
ericans, according to testimony
;iven yesterday by a special in
vestigator for the Japanese attor
ley general.
Mitsusada Yoshikawa, the Jap
anese investigator, told the Sen
ate's Internal Security subcom
mittee the Tokyo-based spy ring
was able to teii Moscow weeks
’ before the Pearl Harbor disas
ter that Japan would attack
the United States.
The lean, spectacled witness, who
testified through an interpreter,
was the prosecutor who sent Rich
ard Sorge, chief of the ring, to
the gallows in 1944. He said Sorge
identified writer Agnes Smedley,
now dead, as a U. S. member of
the ring but never revealed the
names of the other two alleged
members.
Senator Ferguson iR-Mich), a
member of the subcommittee, told
a reporter the entire matter will
be fully explored at further hear
ings.
