PRESIDENT ASKS
HALF BILLION FOR j
CIVILIAN DEFENSE
WASHINGTON, June 22
President Truman has asked Con
gress to vote $535,000,000 for civil de
fense. He declared for the first time
in history this country's major
cities face the threat of “sudden
devastating attacks.”
"We must act on the assumption
that the Soviet Union has atomic
bombs and that they have the planes
that can drop these bombs on our
cities,” Mr. Truman said in a letter
to House Speaker Rayburn.
The President asserted:
“Every city, factory, office and
home must be organized for civil
defense. As long as there is a chance
of any kind that atomic bombs may
fall on our vities, we cannot gamble.
We cannot be caught unprepared."

and a half Thursday night aboard
the Chilcotin were entertained with
a tea at the Episcopalian Church.

tion of the church. Members of the
party represented all of tire states
and were under the leadership of
Carl J. Fleischman, New York City.
A leaflet giving the history of Ju

Church was presented to members
of the tour party.
From Juneau, the group went to
Skagway and was scheduled to stop
at Sitka southbound to Vancouver.

Instead of a six hour scheduled
stop-over at Ketchikan, the group
had only two hours there. A storm
