"Some Nebraskans are under the
illusion they're safe" from any
future enemy air attack, Federal
Civil Defense Administrator Val
Peterson told an audience of ,200
at a University convocation Mon
day afternoon. , .
Traditional Midwestern com
placency is outmoded, he said,
pointing out that bombs dropped
on Offut Air Force Base at Omaha
and Ellsworth Air Base at Rapid
City, S. D., would expose one-third
of Nebraska's population to radio
active fallout, many fatally. Tbe
Lincoln Air Force Base is assumed
to be a primary target, Peterson
added.
American air defense, Peterson
asserted, cannot "keep any enemy
air attack from being successful"
enough for an enemy's purposes.
That possibility, he said, when
coupled with the fact of history That
diplomats have not been able to
keep the peace for long periods
of time, provides the necessity for
civil defense.
The former Nebraska governor
defined civil defense as "an at
tempt to minimize the effects of
atomic attack." Although it may be
"another nuisance of society,"
Peterson called it "another dinoetv
Hiaa ef citizenship, smrtber require
ment." Appealing for more effective
civil defense organizations, Peter
son said that every state, and city
has such an organization. "Some
are excellent," he declared, "some
are putrid, and some are in be
tween." He said be had gathered from
newspaper accounts that "utter
indifference" to the need for civil
defense prevails in Lincoln.
Tbe two phases -of civil defense
work, Peterson said, are the post
attack, or clean-up, and pre-attack
phases, tbe latter involving "utili
zation of space."

Military Pressures
!ln Effect ' At ' Yalta
By ROGER WAIT
At the Yalta Conference, the
late President Franklin D. Roose
velt thought that concessions were
necessary to bring Russia into tbe
war against Japan, Dr. John Mor
rison, visiting professor of geo
graphy at the University this sum
mer, said in a Summer Nebraskan
interview Monday.
But, the former chief of tbe East
European Branch of tbe State De
partment's Division for Research
on Europe argued there was "no
need for concessions., he asserted.
Russia would have entered the
war out of national self-interest.
Japan, Morrison said, had an
nounced she intended to conquer
Siberia up to Lake Baikal and had
a large, supposedly crack army in
Manchuria.
But Roosevelt, the geographer
said, was "under Army and Air
Force pressure to get Russia into
the war for sound military rea
sons." Considered one of the nation's
top three political geographers by
Dr. Colbert Held, assistant profes
sor of geography, Morrison ob
served that the U.S. and its allies

"Every bit of evidence says that
evacuation will work," he said in
Mobile, Ala., where 49,000 people
were moved to the city's edge"
without a fender being scratched."
"There is no limit to the size
of bombs that can be created
by scientists" and atomic manu
facturersPeterson said. "There is
nothing in America the Russians
can't do".' They have the same
"mental apparatus," he pointed
out.
"The Russians are training more
scientists than we are in the U.S.,"
he continued, adding that they are
better-trained. "Within 30 to 40
years," he said, Russia could
"win world domination for that
reason alone."

have been "so successful" in "try

with strength" that the "Russians
want to call it quits."
During World War II, Morrison
was an official in the Office of
Strategic Services, in charge of
the U. S. S. R. Research and An
alysis Branch, -working out Russian
military and political intentions.'
He was an instructor in geogra
phy Et tbe University of Chicago
until 1938, when he resigned to do
public lecturing around the U. S.
He recalled how he was made Mid
west Coordinator for the national
Committee to Defend America by
Aiding the Allies. A friend told
him the chairman of the Chicago
committee wanted to see him. It
turned out to be Adlai Stevenson,
with "vest unbuttoned and coat
off but with "kind of a worried
look." Stevenson told bim he
needed somebody to run the office.
He hesitated, Morrison said, but
"when Stevenson turns on the pres
sure, it's hard to resist."
"As I look back," be reminisced,
"it looks like a "sort of a helter
skelter career, but it was a lot of
fun."

Inesita made her first perform

gentina.
A review in the New Yt
Times called IriesltaV dancing a
"pleasure to watch" and also said
she "plays the castanets as though
they were really a musical instru
ment." A New York Herald-Tribune
critic said, "One sets open
mouthed . . . the most amazing Spa
ish female dancer I have ever
seen."
Inesita is accompanied in her
dancing by Erwin Herbst, pianist,
and Felipe Lanza, guitarist.
