gear The civil defense phase of the exercise lasts 26 hours terminating today but government participation extends over three days —ending tomorrow night The “enemy” assault on 61 U S cities and territories left more than 7 million “dead” 5 million “injured” and millions of evacuees without homes or jobs The giant test is designed to test rehabilitation of control machinery which would enable the nation to rebound from mass disaster and strike back at an aggressor Very Successful Despite some confusion and indifference to the mock attack in many communities Civil Defense Administrator Val Peterson told newsmen Operation Alert has been “very successful" The first warning of impending hypothetical attack came at 9:03 am (MST) Within four minutes the yellow alert — signifying enemy bombers had been spotted — had been extended to Alaska Hawaii Puerto Rico and the Canal Zone New York City “counted” 2991253 dead from a hydrogen bomb explosion in Brooklyn Officials gave these

this morning was termed a success by Base ' spokesmen said they did not receive an alert yesterday in connection with the nationwide “Operation Alert 1955” apparently because they were not included in the plans They held their own alert today how ever to test the ability of emergency teams to organize and get equipment ready for action The exact time it required was not released but officials said it was Officials “a matter of minutes” The alert started about 8:45 am and ended about 9:30 am To test the capabilities of the base communications ift such an emergency no incoming telephone calls

Declares Martial Law Ahead of the meeting Mr Eisenhower announced one such action He issued a mock declaration of martial law to mobilize “the authority and resources of the federal government” to help get a badly disjointed nation back in top fighting gear A spokesman said it was Mr Eisenhower’s view that a martial law declaration was necessary to the national interest until Congress — supposedly but not actually scattered — could reconvene and normal channels of govern ment be reestablished The Security Council headed by the President is the top administrative policy agency in
