"PANIC IN AMERICA IF A-BOMB Tests New
WERE DROPPED" Novelist Sees Symptoms Of Deeply Repressed Fear
New York, Feb. 15.
A Government consultant on civil defence, Mr Philip Wylie, said today he believed the American people in their present state of mind would panic if atomic bombs were dropped on the United States.
But he believed the Russians would panic, too, in an atomic war. Mr Wylic, a novelist attached to the Federal Civil Defence Adminiäträ- tion as a consultant for three years, made his remarks in an article published in the February issue of the unofficial bulletin of atomic scientists.
