Applications submitted in a general form such as your have submitted prevents the Texas Surplus Property Agency from tagging and holding critical items (trucks, jeeps, desks, etc.) on control cards.

The purpose of the conference would be to present, by qualifi3d speakers, some of the major programs related to defense and disaster relief, such as the national plan; warning and communications; the coordination of local, state and national plan, etc. In addition to the general presentations, we had thought of dividing the large group into several smaller ones for more detailed discussions of such areas as the matching funds program, the surplus property program, the prepositioned hospital program, and organizing the local community for defense and disaster. We have no desire for such a conference unless you want and feel a need for it. With this in mind, please write me at once if you want such a conference and indicate whether or not you will attend if the conference is held on the above date. Very truly yours, -V, James H.

Of Defense And Disaster Relief Austin Texas Dear Mr. Garner, I have discussed with Mr, Fred Sandlin,(Bryan Civil "%tense Director) and Mr. John Hill (College Sta. Director ) he proposal of a statewide civil defens conference and it is our opinion that such a conference would be very benificial to local directors and we would like very much to attend, however we .fe1 that if this conference could be held for a period of one day it would not conflict with our present employment. As you know being away from our regular jobs for more than one day ospecially Mr. Sandlin who is the city manager, could create quite a hardship. Mr. Hill has also pointed out that the Texas annual Safety conferende is scheduled for March 27-30. As Personnel and Insurance Safety Director for Texas AM he has to attend this conf-renc and he feels that there are probably other directors in the State who will have to make this conference. I sincerely hope the information contained herein will be useful in planning the conference as we feel that this is something we very definitely need and would like very much to attend.

Your comments have given me a better understanding of the attitudes of our County and City Civil Defense Directors toward this type of conference. I should have allowed more time for the responses to this idea to come in, but the March dates I suggested for this meeting happened to be open dates on a rather crowded spring schedule for our staff, and I was hopeful that more of our Civil Defense Directors would respond to this idea more quickly and in greater number than they did. I have cancelled further planning for the Conference in March, but I hope we can hold it later in the year. Personally, I want such a meeting and have felt it should be an annual affair for a long time, but this is the first opportunity I have had to do something about it. Your letter will be most helpful to us in developing plans for the Conference later this year, and we will give you advance notice of the dates so that you can plan to be present.

GARNER GOVERNOR STATE COORDINATOR Mr. Jake Canglose, Director Brazos County Civil Defense County Courthouse Bryan, Texas Dear Mr. Canglose: Thank you very much for your letter expressing the interest of the officials of Bryan and College Station in an air raid warning system. I am reasonably sure that we can get an engineer from the Regional OCDM staff to come down and meet with you and give you some sort of an estimate of the size of the system you would require and the cost of it. As soon as we can get Regional OCDM in Denton to see what the engineer's schedule is, I will let you know and you can plan accordingly. I am reasonably sure a warning system for these two Cities would be eligible for Federal matching under OCDM's Contributions Program, but the allocation of money for this program in Texas has been fully committed for this Federal fiscal period. Additional funds will become avail- able after July 1, 1960, and, after that date, we would be glad to consider an application for a siren system if you wish to submit it. Some of the companies which manufacture aid raid warning sirens, also have people available to help you with their systems and give you cost figures, but let us try to get the Regional OCDM engineer first, and if that fails we can get some other help.

City Directors, Mr. Fred Sandlin and Mr. John Hill,and they feel that this would certainly be public service add gave their approval for this project. In reprinting the local tornado warning pamplet, I would suggest that care be taken so that the signal and instruction informntton is the sane as in the original pamplet, otherwise it could cause considerable confusion.

I think your offer to carry civil defense information to your listen- ing public is a splendid one, indeed. You will undoubtedly wish to coordinate this activity, however, with the civil de- fense director for Bryan, Mr. Fred 3andlin, and with the county civil defense director, Mr. Jake Canglose. Perhaps they have Y been emphasizing particular aspects of civil defense lately that would tie in with the civil defense literature available. In that respect, I am sending you under separate Dover, 1,000 copies of each of the publications you mentioned -- Tornado _g— Dauti.ons, recta About Fallout Protection, First Ald and Civil Defense Wallet gad. These publications are available from our office in quantities up to about 1,500. For quantities over that, we have to order them from the federal civil defense agency. All publications are furnished free -of- charge, of course. Once again, may I congratulate you upon this example of public service. I believe it is one of the finest cooperative efforts in civil defense to come to my attention. Let me know whenever I can be of further assistance to you. Sincerely yours, "."--- ynwood M.

Sincerely Yours, Jake Canglose County Civil Defense Director MAY 2, 1960 OR. VANCE MOYER OCEANOGRAPHY & METEROLOGM L)EPARTMENT TEXAS A & M COLLEGE COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS DEAR SIR: MAY 1 RESPECTIFULLY TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CALL TO YOUR ATTENTION A SITUATION WHICH DEVELOPED LAST FRIDAY APRIL 29, 1960 WHICH 1 FEEL SHOULD BE RECTIFIED. I'M REFERRING TO THE SEVERE WEATHER REPORT FROM THE RADAR UNIT AT TEXAS A fcM COLLEGE. WHILE THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS RADAR INSTALLATION MAY VERY WELL BE ACADEMIC OR FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES 1 FEEL IT IS A TERRIFIC WASTE OF FACILITIES NOT TO UTILIZE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR WEATHER ADVISORIES TO LOCAL CITIZENS. 1 DO KNOW THAT REPORTS OF THIS NATURE HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN THE PAST BY THE COLLEGE RADAR UNIT, BUT THE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN YOUR RADAR UNIT ANO OUR STATION SHOULD CERTAINLY, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CITIZENS DEPENDING ON THIS STATION FOR WEATHER INFORMATION, BE REVISED AND IMPROVED. WE DID APPRECIATE YOUR MAKING THE PERSONAL BROADCAST REPORT AFTER WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TELEPHONE CALL, BUT ACTUALLY THIS WAS NEEDED ABOUT 30 TO 45 MINUTES EARLIER. WE DID NOT KEEP AN ACCURATE COUNT OF PHONE CALLS, BUT 1 WOULD ESTIMATE WTAW RECEIVED SOME 150 TELEPHONE CALLS ASKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE WEATHER. MANY OF THESE CAME FROM PEOPLE «MOSE POWER WAS KNOCKED OUT AND THEY DID NOT HAVE PORTABLE RADIOS. AT ANY RATE, BELIEVE ME, WE RECEIVED NEARLY 150 REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION DESPITE THE FACT WE WERE REPORTING "ON THE AIR" THAT WE HAD NO INFORMATION OF SEVERE WEATHER. WE OF COURSE, CIROFULLY CHECKED OUR ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWS WIRE, CHECKED WITH THE U.S. 'WEATHER BUREAU AT EASTERWOOD AIRPORT, AND WITH LOCAL POLICE AND THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WERE WITHOUT INFORMATION. THE ONE PLACE THAT PROBABLY COULD HAVE GIVEN US RELIABLE INFORMATION, THE COLLEGE RADAR UNIT COULD NOT BE REACHED DIRECTLY BY THIS STATION DUE TO THE UNLISTED TELEPHONE NUMBER. 1T SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. 1 HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THE UNLISTED TELEPHONE NUMBER IS RESERVED FOR CALLS FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE REPORTING ACTUAL SIGHTINGS OF TORNADOS SO THAT THE ACCURACY OF THE RADAR MAY BE CHECKED. THIS IS ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT OF WHAT VALUE IS THE INFORMATION If YOU CANNOT RELAY IT TO LOCAL PEOPLE. AND THE ONLY PRACTICAL. WAY OF DOING THIS 1S WITH THE TWO LOCAL RADIO STATIONS, WTAW AND KORA. WHILE THE TELEVISION STATION • COULD BE USED TO GOOD ADVANTAGE IN THIS RESPECT T00, THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF INFORMATION TO PEOPLE IN HOMES, BUSINESS FIRMS, IN THEIR CARS OR IN OTHER VARIED PLACES WILL COME FROM RADIO. RADIO IS THE BACKBONE OF THE ENTIRE NATIONAL CONELRAD SYSTEM AMR 0 BEING RELIED UPON TO SERVE IM TIME OF NATURAL DISASTER 04 ENEMY ATTACK. IF YOU DO NOT NAVE THIS VITAL RADIO LINK WHAT VALUE IS THE INFORMATION YOU MIGHT HAVE TO THE PUBLIC. YES, I HAVE HEARD SOME AT THE COLLEGE SAY "WELL IF ANYTHING UNUSUAL APPEARS ON THE RADAR SCREEN, WE'LL CALL YOU ". I MIGHT ASK, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CALL US WHEN OUR TELEPHONE LINES ARE CHOCKED WITH CALLS FROM WORRIED PEOPLE? YOU MIGHT HAVE THE OPERATOR BREAKIN ON A CONVERSATION, BUT IF YOU'VE EVER TRIED THIS YOU USUALLY HAVE TO 00 SO BY WAY OF THE CHIEF OPERATOR AND YEE WILL FIND fT TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES. THIS COULD BE THE TIME NECESSARY FOR MANY PEOPLE TO TAKE SHELTER OR PRECAUTIONS. THEN TO ME, IT IS A RIOICU• LOOS SITUATION TO HAVE RELIABLE RADA* INFORMATION AND NOT BROADCAST IT. I'M THINKING OF THE SITUATION FRIDAY. IF THERE WERE NO TORNADOS SHOWING ON THE RADAR SCREEN, WHY NOT TELL THE PEOPLE? ALL THEY WANT 1 S INFORMATION AND REASSURANCE, fir YOU WILL, THE STORM LAST FRIDAY WAS PROBABLY A VERY PECULIAR ONE IN THAT IT BECAME SO DARK AND LOOKED SO OMINOUS. OF COURSE, THERE( WERE DOZENS OF CASES OF STORM DAMAGE THROUGHOUT THE CITIES OF BRYAN AND COLLEGE STATION, BORNE OUT BY THE INSURANCE CLAIMS. WITH THIS IN MIND, I FEEL THAT A *E— EVALUATION OF THE MET OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN YOUR FACILITIES AND THOSE OF THE NEWS MEDIAN SHOULD BE MA0 • 1 FEEL THAT MERELY USING A SIREN TO WARN PEOPLE IS NOT SUFFICIENT. As YOU WILL RECALL, THE NOISE ACCOMPANING LAST FRIDAY'S STORM WAS TERRIFIC AND A SIREN COULD NOT HAVE POSSIBLY BEER HEARD OVER A DISTANCE GREATER THAN TWO OR THREE BLOCKS. AND IF MOST PEOPLE ARE LIKE MET IT PROBABLY WOULD SERVE ONLY TO .ALARM THEM MORE, SINCE TREY WOULD HAVE NO DEFINITE INFORMATION. I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST A SPECIAL TELEPHONE CIRCUIT BETWEEN YOUR RADAR ROOM AND THE LOCAL RADIO STATIONS AND PERHAPS THE TELEVISION STATION AND NEWSPAPER IF THEY SO DESIRE* I HAVE NOT TALKED WITH MANAGERS OF THESE OTHER MEDIA., BUT IF THEY FEEL AS 100, WE COULD PAY FOR THIS TELEPHONE OURSELVES IN ORDER TO HAVE ACCESS TO IMMEDIATE INFORMATION WHICH CAN BE BROADCAST TO LOCAL LISTENERS. PERHAPS WE MIGHT EVEN EXPLORE THE POSSI8LLSTY OF INSTALLING RADIO EQUIPMENT IN THE EVENT TELEPHONE FACILITIES ARE KNOCKED OUT. 1 WAS GREATLY CONCERNED OVER THE EVENTS OF LAST FRIDAY AND 1 HOPE THAT IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE MADE IMMEDIATELY. 1 WOULD BE HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU, OR CIVIL DEFENSE OFFICIALS OR OTHERS WHO MIGHT HELP RECTIFY THIS SITUATION SO THAT BETTER SERVICE AND INFORMATION MAY SE OFFERED IN THE EVENT OF FUTURE SEVERE STORMS.

VANCE MOYER CONCERNING AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION LAST FRIDAY DURING THE SEVERE STORM IN BRYAN AND COLLEGE STATION. I THINK IT OUTLINES PRETTY WELL MY FEELINGS ON THE SUBJECT OF AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION. I THINK IN YOUR POSITION OF CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR FOR BRAZOS COUNTY, SERIOUS THOUGHT SHOULD BE GIVEN THE IM— PROVEMENT OF COMMUNICATION FACILITIES. I DO NOT THINK MERELY OUR HAVING THE UNLISTED NUMBER OF THE RADAR ROOM WOULD BE SUFFICIENT, BIT RATHER A SEPERATE PHONE CONNECTING THE LOCAL RADIO STATIONS. IF NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE CIVIL DEFENSE SETUP, THEN PROBABLY THE STATIONS COULD SHARE THE COST. I KNOW WE AT WTAW WOULD HELP SUPPORT THE COST OF THIS SPECIAL TELEPHONE, AND IF NECESSARY, PAY FOR A PRIVATE LINE BETWEEN THE RADAR ROOM AND OUR STUDIOS IF OTHERS WOULD NOT DESIRE TO PARTICIPATE. ACTUAL9, A RADIO LINK SHOULD PROBABLY BE ESTABLISHED. RIGHT NOW OUR STATION IS IN THE PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING REMOTE BROADCAST FACILITIES, AND MAYBE THIS COULD BE COMBINED. AT ANY RATE, YOU KNOW MY FEELINGS ARE NOW A MATTER OF RECORD. ALSO YOU KNOW WE AT WTAW ARE INTERESTED IN SITUATION SINCE WE ASKED YOU FOR INFORMATION TO PASS ON TO OUR LISTENERS JUST ONE WEEK BEFORE THE STORM OCCURED.

Sincerely Yours, Jake Cenglose County Director , Jake: Sometimes the dumbest minds come up with a succulent piece of wisdom. Maybe this is one of those times. I have been thinking about the fire siren and how hard it is to hear in certain parts of the city. I was talking to Geo. H. via land line when the siren sound ed off the other day. He heard it loud and clear, but I wife was unable to hear it at my house - my /was unable to hear it also. One of the things we do hear is the MSC chimes as they, mark the hour. Probably the fact that they are electronic and a percussion type of sound has a lot to do with being able to her them, but a siren runs the full scale of sound from very low to very high frequencies and should also be hearable. This being the reason varying notes are used instead of a steady one. Now - let's see if the old sow got the acorn or not. If we were to combine the best features of both, the siren scale with the electronic amplifier, wouldn't we come up with a more hearable, unit? Especially if in we used 4 speakers aimed /different directions. And wouldn't it be fairly simple to use telephone wites to pipe the central recording to XX other amplifiers in different parts of the city? Thus making one recording serve for all the city,and under the control of one person? And couldn't that same system be used as a gigantiiC PA system during time if need? And wouldn't the cost be well within the cost price of an enlarged warning system using additional sirens? Plus having the additional feature of a PA system? And wouldn't you just know that scfewy ideas like this always come from scfewy characters like Chester July 7, 1960 Dear Mr. Cangelose: Mrs. Goodman and I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to you for lecturing to our science students on electronics.

Director Bryan, Texas Sir: I would like to request that two-way F.M. radios be obtained and installed in the automobiles of the following personnel: 1. Brazos County C. D. Director and /or Assistant Director. 2. College Station C. D. Director and /or Assistant Director. 3. Brazos County Communications Director. It is further requested that permission to operate on the police (local) frequency under their license and maintenance plan be obtained. At the present time there is no need for a unit for the Bryan Dir- ector as the Assistant Director is also the Fryan Chief of Police with radio facil ±ties furnished by the P.D. It is suggested that the College Station Director operate by authority and at the expense of the City of College Station, and that Brazos County Officers operate under authority and at the expense of the Sheriff's Office. By installing the above units, the above men will be more readily available for contact and liaison during emergencies. It is also possible their services may be useful to the law enforcement agencies at times.

Although this course was primarily designed for fire and other municipal and county emergency departments, an in- vitation has been extended to our local area Civil Defense { organizations to participate. The program and other des- , criptive material is enclosed. It is my belief that several of our key people should take advantage of this opportunity because there is a definite need for such training in our preparedness program. I feel %hat you may want to attend or at least designate someone to represent you. I'll try to contact you in the next day or two and discuss this further with you. Kindest personal regards.
