BY XEAL SHIXE Free Press Staff Writer The siren shrieks its deadly warning in a steady wail that keeps telling you the same thing over and over again: "It's an attack, and I'm not ready."

Mlchlf TO LEARN OF REDS GIs to Attend Political Classes WASHINGTON Wi Instruction in Americanism and in the threats of communism will be made a compulsory part of military training for all United States servicemen, Defense Secretary Robert S.

WOOf. C' fllT(. Order Red To Register Under Law WASHINGTON (LTD The Subversive Activities Control Board Tuesday night ordered the first of 10 persons cited by government as Communists to register with the Justice Department. The board said it found that William Albertson, 52, was a member of the Community Party, U.S.A. and ordered him to register under the Subversive Activities Control Act.

Under the law, failure to do so is punishable by fine of $10,000 and a five-year prison term. The registration provi- 'iti your trouble is no consolation. You feel as though you're the last man left in the world. It's at this point that you'll make your decision to live or die. You can panic and accept death as inevitable.

Or you can use your head and save your life and the lives of your family. Even though you're caught without a plan, there is still time to do the things that will help you survive. If you have survived the initial blast and are a con- The action was recommended by an advisory committee of top-level civilians and recently retired military leaders under the chairmanship of Karl Ben-detsen, a former Pentagon official. The panel was formed last January as an outgrowth of Senate subcommittee hearings on military information and on charges that American military commanders had been muzzled. THE SENATE subcommittee report did not support the muzzling charge.

McNamara said he generally concurred with the major findings and recommendations of the advisory group and that some of the views had already been carried out. The panel report, made public ty 5IcNamara, said there was "little evidence to support the view expressed in some quarters that the serviceman lacks an awareness of the Communist threat." But it said there was a lack awareness that education is a direct and integral duty of military commanders. It called that the primary defect in previous troop information and education programs. McXAMARA accepted the recommendation that general military training should include study of American political traditions, communism in action, national policies and orientation in areas of the world where Americans are now serving. Primary emphasis was placed on the study of American political traditions.

The report said it is more importnat for servicemen to know what they are for than what they are against. McNamara accepted the panel's view that he should "retain the exclusive authority" to prescribe specific study and training material for use in programs common to all of the services. OK 8105,000 For Detroit Port Study A grant of $105,000 for a long range study of Detroit port needs was approved Tuesday by the Federal Area Redevelopment Administration. Gov.

IF YOUR windows have Getting Air After Attack No Problem If you escape to a shelter in the event of a nuclear attack, getting air to breathe should be no problem, civil defense officials say. In the case of a backyard-type shelter, an intake filter would be required, officials said.

But basement shelters and those in large buildings would provide sufficient oxygen through normal ventilation. Radioactive fallout would settle to the ground quicMy, like dust, the officials said. It would not be a breathing hazard. Draft -Quota Hits 6,000 WASHINGTON (UPD The Defense Department Tuesday issued a call for 6,000 draftees to be inducted into the Army during December.

THE BOARD said Albertson was nominated and elected a member of the Communist Party's national committee to its national convention in December, 1959, and held other important party positions in New York. Attorney General Robert Kennedy's request regarding the Individuals is the third step he has taken against the party since Oct.

9, 1961, when the Supreme Court upheld an order of the board requiring the party as such to register. The party did not register and was indicted last Dec. 1 on 12 counts of failing to register. The responsibility to register shifted to the officers of the party. None did and two alleged oficers, Gus Hall and Benjamin J.

Davis, were indicted on March 15. Under the law responsibility then shifted to individual party members to register for themselves by Dec. 20. When none did, Kennedy took the action to the control board. Honor Due Msgr.
