List 92 U.S. Cities as Atomic Targets of Russ WASHINGTON — Civil defense planners believe that if Russia launched an atomic attack on the United States it would attempt to "substantially" wip out 92 principle cities. The Civil Defense Administration, in its "planned assumptions" for the year, also said any atomic attack might be backed up by biological, chemical and psychological warfare. The civil defense agency indicated it does not believe Russia now has a large stockpile of hydrogen bombs. But it said super bombs soon will "be available to them in greater numbers." It said Russia can make and deliver hydrogen bombs with explosive powe requal to "millions of tons" of TNT. On the brighter side it said chances of this country being caught completely by surprise by a red air attack are "constantly diminishing." Plans Well Founded The "planning Assumptions," which are designed to aid state and local officials in drafting civil defense plans, are based on Russia's "officially known or estimated capabilities for attack on the United States." Much of the information obviously comes from intelligence sources. The agency underscored that its "assumptions do not predict" the Soviet Union will attack the United States with atomic and hydrogen bombs. It said the blueprint merely outlined Russian "capabilities" if such an attack were launched. CDA estimated that Russia has the ability to "strike any target within the United States" with long range bombers. It warned, however, that atomic weapons "might be delivered by other means than aircraft, such as submarines or smuggled into the country."

Condon, a liberal Democrat retain his seat in the face of ally charges. Kuchel and Yorty enlivened otherwise dull election campaign by exchanging broadsides in last few days in which Kuccio backers charged Yorty had sent $119,146 in taxpayers' money mail 4,000,000 voters a copy of Yorty speech. Yorty countered with the accession the Kuchel forces were guilty of "dirty smear politics" by calculating a letter accusing Yorty being a candidate of the "rading wing" of the Democratic Party. Warren Appointee While Kuchel, an appointee former Gov. Earl Warren, cribes himself as an ardent senhower supporter, Yorty claims the 42-year-old first-term senator is an "old guard Republican." Two familiar figures in Washinton also are making their first bid for elective office. One is Adm. Ross T. McIntosh (ret.), once President Roosevelt personal physician, who is trying to unseat Republican Congressman Bob Wilson in San Diego. The other is Jesse M. Ritchie, inventor of the controversial battery aditive AD-X2, who is seeking Republican nomination against eran Congressman George P Miller.

Orange County Plain Dealer BULLETIN CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1954 VOL XXXI NO. 248 Red Schine Draft Status BALLOT with ASSEMBLY DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL Senator Vote for One Ending January 3, 1957 UCHEL, Rep. Senator X ILAM YORTY, Dem. United States Congress RNEY, Ind. Prog. Writer DOLEY, Rep. in Congress Vote for One Rep. in Congress, X RLE, Dem. Found No Escape From Basic Training, Claim WASHINGTON — Senate investigators heard today that Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens reviewed G. David Schine's status with Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson before concluding that young Schine could not escape basic training. This high level review of the draft status of Schine, former aide to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis), was disclosed when the Senate Investigating Subcommittee heard more of Stevens' monitored telephone conversations involving the Army-McCarthy dispute. Special Counsel Ray H. Jenkins read a talk between Stevens and Schine last Oct. 21. That was two weeks before Schine was inducted. "No Way" To Skip Basic The transcript showed Stevens told Schine he had "reviewed the whole situation" with Wilson and that they saw "no appropriate way" for Schine to avoid basic training after his induction. Schine, scion of a New York hotel-theater family, was then unpaid chief consultant to McCarthy's investigation. May Reappoint Griffith to Job Even if veteran City Clerk Charles E. Griffith is removed from office — penalty for his conviction of a grand jury charge of mishandling election proceedings — he could be reappointed by the city council. And whether he would keep the job he has had for 20 years was a subject of city-wide speculation, with officialdom saying nothing about it except that it's legally possible. Griffith, still fighting the removal penalty, whilst a jury brought down on him after convicting him following more than six hours of deliberation, will go into court June 15 to ask Superior Judge Robert Gardner to set aside the conviction. He also will ask a new trial. The grand jury accused Griffith voter ballots for the Ball Rd. No. of mishandling issuance of absent-2 annexation election last Aug. 7, and the Superior Court jury found him guilty of "willful misconduct" on all seven overt acts charged in the single-count accusation. His jurors struck out the grand jury allegation of "and corrupt" misconduct in connection with the asserted irregularities. The Ball Rd. No. 2 annexation, hotly contested, was lost on regular balloting but the city council declared it passed by one vote on basis of count of absentees. Subsequently, it was challenged in court, and three absent - voter ballots were tossed out, making the election a tie. Police Nab Local Teenager on Marijuana Count FULLERTON, (OCNS) — Suspicions aroused, two local police officers checked out a car on Brea Boulevard late Friday night, resulting in the arrest of Thomas Raymond Todd, 18, 8061 Monterey St., Anaheim, for possession and transportation of marijuana. Special Counsel Ray H. Jenkins read a talk between Stevens and Schine last Oct. 21. That was two weeks before Schine was inducted. "No Way" To Skip Basic The transcript showed Stevens told Schine he had "reviewed the whole situation" with Wilson and that they saw "no appropriate way" for Schine to avoid basic training after his induction. Schine, scion of a New York hotel-theater family, was then unpaid chief consultant to McCarthy's investigating subcommittee. The transcript showed that Stevens told Schine that he and Wilson had concluded that basic training was "almost a must," was the wise thing to do, and that avoiding it would be "a great mistake." Stevens suggested, however, that after basic training, the Army "can pick you up and use you in a way that would be useful to the country and yourself." He said he was uncertain what that assignment might be but that he had something in mind to "use the knowledge and ability you have in certain fields." (This did not come to pass.) After his basic training, Schine was trained to be a military policeman. Schine was called to the hearing room for the reading of his call. He made his way through the throng at the door of the caucus room and went to the head table, where he took a seat beside Mo Carthy. Other highlights of the 28th day of Army-McCarthy hearings: 1. Three monitored calls between McCarthy and Stevens, which McCarthy had made public Saturday night, were read into the record. In these calls on Nov. 7, Jan. 14, and Feb. 20, McCarthy warned Stevens he would "live to regret it" if he refused to produce Army officers before McCarthy's committee, and threatened to "kick the brains out of anyone who protects Communists." McCarthy also told Stevens that he did not want his drafted alde. Pvt. G. David Schine, assigned back to his subcommittee. And he said his chief counselor, Ray M. Conn, was "unreasonable" about wanting Schine to be "a general and operate from a penthouse on the Waldorf." 2. Three calls between Stevens and Sen. John L. McClellan (Ark), ranking Democrat on the subcommittee, were placed in the record. They showed that McClellan advised Stevens to "beat him (McCarthy) to the punch by volunteering to testify on an Army case before he could be subpenaed. Sources close to McCarthy said FULLERTON. (OCNS) — Suspicions aroused, two local police officers checked out a car on Brea Boulevard late Friday night, resulting in the arrest of Thomas Raymond Todd, 18, 8061 Monterey St., Anaheim, for possession and transportation of marijuana. Three marijuana cigarettes were found in the right front shirt pocket of the suspect, a package of brown cigaret paper was discovered in his pants pocket, and a tin of the weed was located in the vent under the dashboard of the car. Sgt. Verne Stock reported. Sgt. Stock and Officer Richard R. Ray saw the car parked at a drive-in on Brea boulevard. It rolled away from the cafe when the police car approached and drove south on Brea Blvd., where police stopped it near Spdara Road. Police reported Todd said he picked up a sailor at Buena Park. He said the sailor had marijuana cigarettes and they both smoked them. Todd claimed the sailor gave him the three cigarettes for the ride. The suspect later admitted, Stock said, that he bought the tin full of marijuana for $15 and after rolling some cigarets in the car, hid the can in the vent.
