The Wall Street Journal says General Motors Corp. is about to conclude a $1,000,000,000 line of credit with a group of 250 commercial banks, the biggest such deal in the history of American industry.

Announcement is expected to be made in the near future, the business newspaper said. Maturity and interest rates remain to be worked out. The credit line will make readily available working capital for the big former automobile producer now virtually 100 per cent engaged in war production. Ordinarily the government provides financing of war work in advance or in progress payments. In the case of General Motors, the Journal explained, a large number of widely separated branches of military authorities are involved and such financing would be complicated.

Civilian Defense Is Here To Stay Col. Beckner Tells Traffic Club The Program Will Not Be Dissolved At End Of War Because Cities Still Will Be Susceptible' To Air Attack. 4,000 Persons Now In Defense Corps For Greater York "Civilfan defense Is here to stay and will not be dissolved at the end of the war," Col. W. H.

Beckner. commander of the York Citi- zens' Defense corps told the York Traffic club at its dinner-meeting last night at Hotel Yorktowne. li'e based his assertion on the fact that cities in ears to come will be as suscep.ible to air attack at the beginning of the war. "With the advancement in design the aeroplane," he said, "no nation or big city in the future would have to exist without such group of trained worKers as found in the Civilian ueiense set-up." He pointed out that there are 4,000 persons in the York Citizens' Defense corps for the Greater York area who have spent hours training for the defense of the "Not An Easy Job" "Civilian defense is a home guard organization to meet any damages resulting from reactions," the speaker said. "It's not an easy job to organize, train and inspire the civilian population sn that thev muv mppt with confidnce and courage any catas- tronhe that mav hefall us.

Nor is easy to create in all citizens sympathetic realization of the huge task confronting the Citizens Defense corps. "No enterprise in the history of the country has ever taken on so many untrained people and has accomplished so much in a short time. It is the ambition of all the personnel of the Civilian Defense organization to do a bang-up job. "Many people ask why we have Civilian Defense organization. The simplest answer is that we have found in heavily bombed areas that well-trained and well-disciplined Civilian Defense groups have reduced fatalities resulting from an air raid by as much as 90 per cent." Col.

Beckner was introduced by L. Snodgrass, district supervisor for the Interstate Commerce commission. The club voted to buy $400 worth of war bonds. New members are: Eugene Gardner, J. K.
