Show 5B Ramblin' On Ive been quite relieved by recent Reagan Administration assurances that most of us can survive a nuclear holocaust. Were beefing up our shelters. Shelters just arent that effective. While studying World War II German history in school, I came across a book which recounted the effects of American and British air attacks on German long-neglect- pro- gram. The cities. Being a major port and thus an important military center, Hamburg was a key target for systematic firebombings which turned the city into an inferno. presidents budget pro- posal for 1983 calls for a civil defense alloca-tio- n nearly Local defense leaving only body fat. Authorities could only estimate how many people contributed to the pools. That was with regular bombs. No nukes. Bearing that in mind, I found great solace in the news that our defense officials were developing a comprehensive plan that didnt include shelters and, instead, shipped us to the safe environs of some isolated valley north of Cedar City. civil skeptic that he is, scoffed at my relief. Accused me of naive acceptance of government hogwash. A twice as large as this years. After the fires subsided, authorities began the to of civil gruesome task trying determine just how many people had died. of- ficials are ironing out plans to save us from becoming mushroom cloud fodder. Theyre working on a crisis relocation program whereby, in the event of an impending exchange of nuclear weapons, all the residents of Salt Lake County would be moved to safety in rural areas of southern Utah. Thats good. Im glad theyre They never could tell for certain. Checks of air raid shelters where many of the citys people had taken refuge were inconclusive. In many there were no remains. Just pools of fat on the ground. The heat above ground had become so intense that people below ground had melted away, friend of mine, That got me riled up. We argued back and forth, pretty much inconclusively. I didnt give ground; neither did he. Maybe you can decide who was right (my opinions dont have quotation marks). How can you believe that garbage? Theres no real plans. Theyre just making it up, and spending enough Monday finds Oly here to challenge our baseball team.

Its not garbage. Government studies show that its possible to save 80 percent of this countrys population through relocation. Those studies arent just facades to placate an apprehensive yet unknowledgeable public. Sure. How are they gonna get everybody out of the valley when the Russians attack? First you have to understand that when the nukes start flying, it wont be a surprise attack. Our intelligence agencies will know about a week ahead of time that the Soviets are preparing to let loose. That will give us plenty of time to get the necessary provisions and leave town. Hey, thats a crock. Wheres your memory. Dont you remember that the Air Force theyre government, too, you know - tried to convince us that we needed the MX here because it could survive a surprise attack and nail them back.

Why should we buy this? Thats different. Youre talking apples and oranges. Besides, those government studies show it would take only two days - not seven - to evacuate a city the size of Salt Lake. You can tell by how things are going whether theyre gonna attack or not. Civil defense officials would know for sure. "No way.

Saturday, Baftfwi'ft For the next couple of hours, the course of the conversation was fairly similar. We rehashed old points, took off on tangents and still disagreed on the legitimacy of the governments planning efforts.
