mold was succeeded by
Joseph L. Malone, who had
served as vice-president of the
USCDC in 1954.
Malone, Director of the City
of Boston Department of Civil
Defense from 1950 through 1956,
served as USCDC President in
1)55.
In 1956 he was succeeded by
Elliott Jackson of Atlanta, Ga.
During Jackson's tenure Reg-
ional Meetings started and State
Rehr esentatives were selected.
Dick Lynch of Los Angeles
was elevated to the presidency
of.the Council in 1957. Member-
ship in the Council was boosted
25 per cent during his year in
office. Another highlight was
the first field trip by the Coun-
cil to t::e Atomic Bomb test in
Las Vegas.
Member s h i p continued to
grow when Maj, Gen. E. G. Zieg-
ler of Erie County, N. Y, suc-
ceeded Lynch in 1958. When he
resigned Walter P. Halstead of
Minneapolis, Minn. took over the
presidency and served through
1059. During his tenure he was
appointed consultant to the Di-
rector of the Office of Civil and
Defense Mobilization and was,
an ex-officio member of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's Advisory
Council for Civil Defense.
Serving as president in 1960
was Philip Klein of Philadel-
~hia. He continued to increase

side research through USCDC
facilities was expanded.

In 1963 Clyde Friend of Spo-

Gen. Condon and reorganized
the committee structure of the
USCDC. He concentrated on
building membership and estab-
lished a record of 1,279. He
worked with OCD on methods
of establishing a Research and
Survey Division of the USCDC
and this was finalized three
days before he concluded his
term in office.
J. Herbert Simpson of Ports-
mouth, Va. became president in
1964 and it was during his ten-
ure that the RACES program
became permanent. Associate
members became eligible for
membership in the Council and
a credentials desk was set up at
the National Conference. He al-
so integrated the Health Ad-
visory Committee program as
part of the overall National
Conference program.
In 1965 Larry Stephenson of
Lake Charles, La. pushed for
increased activity and partici-
pation of the Industry and Na-
tural Disaster Committees of
USCDC and this resulted in an
outstanding program at Las Ve-
gas. During his term a perma-
nent headquarters was estab-
lished for the Research and Sur-
vey Division at Jacksonville,
Fla. and the USCDC office of
the Executive Secretary and Ex-
hibits Manager was shifted to
Portsmouth, Va.
'This year Gen. Robert H.
Betts has served as president of
the Council, building an all-time
record membership. For the first
time a yearbook was .published
