MOSCOW, Aug. 20 (Reuter)-A campaign is now in pro- gress to inform the Soviet people how to deal with gas and other means of chemical warfare. As in Britain in the early days of the war, many decontamination squads are holding practice testa.
Trained speakers and heads of A.R.P. house committees can be seen in numerous little court-: yards in Moscow lecturing to the inhabitants in blocks of flats on how to protect themselves from

Leaders and other articles in the Preis urge the need for people to take their own measures for defence. They warn that the enemy is pre- pared to resort to any measure to ensure victory.
