NEW CIVIL DEFENSE
FACILITIES ASKED
FOR TERR. PROGRAM
One of the major items brought
out in the territorial civil defense
survey recently conducted by S. C
Campbell, special representative ol
the federal civil defense adminis
tration, and Col. J Alexander, ter
ritorial director of civil defense, is
that of fire fighting.
Adequate provision is contem
plated in the over-all program to
augment exi ting fire fighting fa
cilities by providing the equipment
which would give the communities
a fair chance of survival. Under
this category, it was found that
pumpers, fire hose, pioneer toois
and individual equipment would be
woefully lacking during an incen
diary bomb attack.
Standard equipment required fer
this type of activity would include
conventional type fire engines (both
water and chemical), small units
mounted on jeeps and trailers fer
special situations, otner equipment,
includes special rescue trucks, si
rens, resuscitators, warden equip
ment. radio transmitters and re
ceivers, walkie-talkie radios, field
telephone sets, trailer type first aid
stations, first aid supplies and
equipment for police and warden
services.
"It is intended that every town
with a population of l.CO.'t or nitre
or any towm presenting , possible
target would receive this type of
assistance. Stockpiles of reserve
medical supplies and emergency ra
tions in several dispersed depots
strategically located throughout the
territory are a major item to be in
cluded in the overall appropria
tion,” said Col. Alexander.
Another major item would be the
establishment of control centers.
These would be housed in reen
forced concrete underground build
ings with communications and ne
cessary key personnel to direct
mobile support units and teams
fully supplied with equipment and
supplies necessary to augment the
organizations in stricken areas are
included in the contemplated set
up.
A draft ot tne enaming legislation
now in the hands of the territorial
legislature provides for the contin
uation of the channel of authority
and administration of civil defense
in keeping with the federal law.
It also provides for the regulation
of units, individuals and groups
throughout the territory in ordei
to effect positive protection and
also provides for restoration of fa
cilities in order to insure continu
ing defense efforts after disastei
has struck and to insure adequate
care for those injured and rendered
homeless, it was noted by Col Alex
ander.
"Civil defense and military de
fense, although closely related, art
two separate and distinct activi
ties. Military defense is strictly tilt
responsibility of the armed forces
Civil defense (more appropriately
titled ‘civilian survival’ for the lacl
of a better name) deals entirely
with the welfare of the civiliai
population in the event of war
Civil defense is the responsibility
of the territory,” said Col. Alex
ander.
"It is a known fact that the econ
omy of the United States coulc
not support the provision of bomb
proof shelters for each person. I
is therefore planned that every
form of shelter to be used should b(
utilized as a multipurpose instal
lation.
“Disaster centers built under
ground away from probable poin
of bomb impact would be used fo
carrying out relief operations o
the homeless and stricken after ai
attack. These should be so construe
ted as to lend themselves later a
warehouses, underground parkin)
areas, schoolrooms, armories, an<
even civic centers. Four under
ground reinforced concrete build
ings measuring 40 feet by 20 fee
with an eight foot height ari
planned.

"It should be noted that every
' single item in the proposed civil
defense program is intended to
make a contribution to the econ
omy of Alaska by virtue of its util
itarian possibilities as such,” Col.
Alexander concluded.
Campbell returned to Washing
ton, D. C. Saturday and will stress
at the national civil defense head
quarters that the defense problem
of Alaska is of major importance
and needs prompt attention.

YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE...
i
The need for life insurance is
very clear and simple:
When a father passes on, his
pay envelopes stop
There is no more regular in
come to cover the family’s bills.
Life insurance funds can pay
these bills every month.
Life insurance gives the fam
ily courage, and the income to
carry on, proud in the memory
of a father who cared enough to
own enough life insurance.
Will you think it over?
Then, let's talk it over.

GIRL SCOUT COM.
Mrs. John Clements was unani
mously elected Gastineau Channel

nounced the appointment of Mrs.
Morton Flint as Camp Chairman to
replace Miss Mary Louise Crowell.
Mi.. Crowell resigned due to plan

Miss Dorothy Pctron, Regional
Director of Scouts, will make an
official visit to Alaska in April and

Mis. Robert Boochevor, cookie

week. Orders were taken for 2,825
boxes of cookies as contrasted with
2,515 boxes last year. Peggy Linde
gard was winner of th° leather
bag first prize with 170 orders sold:
Bonnie McLean second with 118.
Douglas sold 200 boxes with Gloria

decided to give a separate prize to
the Douglas Scouts as the smaller

difficult for the girls there to com
pete with Juneau.

The bill finally passed 13-3 after,
the fight over the amendment.
Senator Lyng withdrew a bill re
garding National Guard officers’
qualifications. In a criticism of
Governor Gruening for not having
appointed a regular adjutant gen
eral, Lyng declared.
"We are starting our third year
with Colonel Alexander in charge
of the Guard. It is about time the
governor heeded the law and ap
pointed a regular adjutant general
fer the Guard.
"The law says the Territory shall
pay him $7,500 a year. Yet the col
onel is paid by the regular Army.
"What is the reason? Is it because
the governor wants him there. The
governor is not abiding by the
law."
Bills passed by the Senate in
cluded:
Sub SB 36 — To create a land
department in the taxation depart
ment, which Commissioner M. P.
Mullaneq said would be a great
stride forward in registering lands
and coordinating the records.
SB 66 — amending the income
tax law to provide, among other
things, that Federal employes on
whom there is no withhholding oi
the Territorial tax would have to
file declarations of expected income
and pay up quarterly.
SB 53 — which would be an
enabling act to allow Territorial
and municipal employes to get into
the Federal Social Security pro
gram, if the Territory or cities
move in that direction.
SB 74 — by Anita Garnick, to ex
tend higher education opportuni
ties to all of Alaska by extension
courses, at the board of regents’ de
sire, and authorizing the regents
to study the junior college possi
bilities. It passed unanimously.
SB 101 — to allow a Territorial
bank to establish a branch within
100 miles of the main bank.
Among the bills killed was SB 34,
by Percy Ipalook, which providec.
for local option elections in unin
corporated areas. It further pro
vided that if the precinct voted
dry, no one could ship or bring in
liquor. It was voted down 11-5 after
opponents argued it was too much
of an infringement on personal
rights, to prohibit anyone getting
alcohol for personal consumption—
or rubbing. Ipalook argued that the
strict controls are necessary in the
northern villages, where he said
there were “whisperings in the dark
corners at night” about liquor sales
being made Illegally from personal
shipments.
