Chinese Reds in the Western Pacific.
Should those embers burst forth into
flames of war, it could easily turn
the entire world into a general con-

CITIES . . . throughout the nation,
including some in the 15th Congress-

practice Civil Defense disaster opera-
tions. Most of the practice drills
are geared to disasters other than
atomic attack, but their very nature
makes them adaptable to any em-

are never called upon to meet an
atomic attack within the confines of
this nation, or anywhere on the globe
but knowing attack is possible, it is
imperative that we further plan and
develop an adequate Civil Defense
program.

Buffelgrass
There is no comparison between
buffelgrass and other crops such as
sudan grass. “The buffel grass is
much better,” said W. W. Alderman,
rancher and district cooperator from
