Simultaneous A Bomb Attack Is Predicted
Washington October 8 Civil Defense Administrator Millard F. Caldwell warned Russia may possess enough atom bombs to strike major American cities simultaneously in an all out grand slam attack. He said several cities could be hit at the same time to halt production and morale. Caldwell’s views appeared in News and World Report as the Senate debated a civil defense appropriation of 97.635 million dollars, about 30 million more than the House. He estimated city casualties at about 75 600 dead and 75 000 injured if such an air attack occurred, blamed Congress for underfunding civil defense, and suggested skepticism about Russia producing an atom bomb may ease with a new announcement of a second bomb.
