Civilian Defense Urges Round The Clock Readiness On East Coast
After a meeting of the East Coast Conference of State Defense Directors at the University Club of New York on Oct 21 Brigadier General Earl C Webster announced a program to keep civilian defense forces on continuous alert and maintain trained protective personnel. A letter from Lt Gen George Grunert warned the danger persists and civilian protection is as necessary as ever. The First Fighter Command noted ground observer curtailments do not affect the Air Rail Warning Service which must stay manned around the clock as the eastern seaboard relies on a precise mechanical defense system for incoming aircraft.
