The most urgent requirement of the Civilian Defense Corps in this region is an adequate warning system, officials of the corps and members of the Hamilton County Defense Council's Executive Committee agreed at their weekly conferences yesterday.

"But in order for the Citizens Defense Corps to function properly we must have a signal which ail Citizens can interpret promptly." Gilligan and City Manager C. O. Sherrill agreed that the 20 sirens recommended in the Defense Corps budget would solve the problem, if the sirens could be obtained.

PRIORITIES RAISE DOL'BT. There is some doubt whether priority orders can be obtained for the sirens, however, even when the 14,500 included in the budget is available. Corps officials agreed generally that it would do no good to magnify the "din" used in the Fourth of July test. In many places citizens thought the noise was nothing more than fire trucks on their way to a fire. Certain officials charged that the signal used July 4 was "too Blow." They recalled that the "biggest noise" ever heard in Cincin-natinati when the Armistice was Signed ending World War I was nearly an hour; in reaching its peak.

It was stated that it took time to get all the signals going last Saturday, and that even with all signals going, there were many parts of Cincinnati where the sounds could not be heard. "We must have a positive signal, Buch as three short blasts and one long blast," Gilligan said, so that every citizen of Cincinnati can be educated to recognize it as a warning that Axis planes are bound for this locality. The noise used in tests so far might be interpreted to mean anything." AGREE ON NEED. Virtually the entire session of the "I am confident that the people of 10 per centers.

"The important thing now is that all of us back up our pledges by going to the post office, the bank, the building association, or any other agency taking orders for war bonds, and ordering our July quota." Hamilton County's quota is relatively higher than any other county in Ohio. Anderson said he had found, on inquiry, that quotas for Ohio counties were based on past performance.

The 20 members present agreed generally that a more adequate warning system must be installed If the Defense Corps is to function In time of emergency. Morris Edwards, executive director of the Defense Council, said the committee was not certain that an adequate warning system could be installed for $14,500, even if Sirens were to be had. Many suggestions were made one that river boats be organized to aid in the warning, using the round house whistles formerly used to call the wrecking crews of various rail-Ways. No definite action was taken, but committeemen agreed that a solution must be found soon, and that a fixed signal and not a "din" was required to rouse the populace. Members said the ringing of church bells was "woefully inadequate," and that, if used late at night, would not rouse the population or warn the people of approaching danger.
