Hon. Clyde I. Batchelder
Mayor
West Covina, California
Dear Mayor Batchelder:
1pk� There is a section, No. 1541, in the California Disaster
1 Act which may be of interest to you:
r "Extraordinary services incurred by local govern-
mental agencies in executing mutual aid agreements
shall constitute a legal charge against the State
when approved by the Governor; provided that such
agreement has recieved the approval of the Disaster
Council, or the previous approval of the California
State War Council."
The Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Plan has been approved
by the California State War Council. It has been adopted
by 36 counties and 154 cities. This Plan provides for
assistance to your city law enforcement officers should
they face an emergency in which assistance is needed, and
of course it likewise provides a legal means by which
your officers may render assistance to a neighboring city
or county.
Your Chief of Police, Robert E. Lee, is no doubt familiar
with the plan.
A comparatively minor emergency can be expensive --approval
of the Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Plan provides insurance
without a costly premium.
In the light of legislative developments, putting Mutual
Aid on a permanent rather than a wartime basis, and pro-
viding that the State bear extraordinary expense; it is
�r suggested that your city may wish to participate.
A copy of the Plan together with a suggested form for its
adoption is enclosed. Will you be so kind as to let me
know of any action taken?
Sincerely yours,
ROBERT W. KENNY

Military assistance in the event of war disaster may
vary from the loan_ of supplies and equipment in a minor emer-
gency, to complete responsibility and control in the event of
a declaration of martial law or its equivalent.' It must be em-
phasized that in the event the Army assumes control, civilian
agencies are still responsible for providing assistance in the
fora, of personnel, organizations, and equipment of a7.1 types.
In no case can the Army provide all of the above.
6. Available Forces.
a. The following forces are under the control of
the Commanding General, Ninth Service Co;mnand, and are available
for aa-r disaster relief:
(1) Military, police units.
(2) Bomb disposal units.
(3) Station complements.
(4) Organizations training for extended field
duty under control of this headquarters,
and not alerted for movement overseas.
' b. Army Ground Force and TJestern Defense Corlriand
units rlhich may be made available by higher authority.

WESTERN DEFENSE COIti NAND
COUNTER FIFTH COLUMN PLAN 1944
"2. Purpose of Plan
This plan established the basis and principles upon
which Western Defense Command Sector Commanders, and the Commanding
_a General, Ninth Service Command, will prepare plans to organize, train
and operate coordinated federal and state troops, police forces and
volunteer agencies to deal with the Fifth Column and its supporting
troops.
II. ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION
5. Potential Fifth Column.
The following types of persons are potential Fifth
Columnists:
a. Enemy aliens and sympathizers, including persons
having personal or political grievances against the government and
those amenable to promises of money or poser.
b. Those with property or close relatives in enemy,
enemy -occupied or pro -enemy countries.
c. ;hose educated in, residents there -in over a. long
period, or frequent visitors to enemy coi.ultires.
d. Enemy agents disguised as refugees.
e. Trained saboteurs and Fifth Column organizers in-
filtrated into the country before or during the war.
f. Fanatics, citizen or alien, such as extreme radicals,
pacifists, religious zealots, habitual criminals (especially arsonists),
racketeers and those in narcotic and other vice rings and unbalanced,
perverted and thwarted individuals such as sadists, frustrated (geniuses',
disgruntled failures and swindlers.
g. Members of so-called minority groups stirred by sub-
versive propaganda to resentment against the government and military
forces or imbued with the possibility of utilizing the guar to gain
special social or political advantage.
h. Former employees of enemy commercial and banking
firms, travel and press bureaus, information agencies and cultural,
athletic and sports organizations.
-4-
6. Types of Operations.
Fifth Column activities can be classified generally into
the folloiiring types:
a. Seizure of points of strategic importance to the ad-
vance of the enemy to be held momentarily until the arrival of air-
borne or ground troops.
b. Disorganization of military forces by sniping, spread-
ing false rumors, issuing false orders or destroying facilities ar_d
installations valuable to defending forces, such as communication;,
transportation, electric power, housing and supplies.
c. Disorganization of civilian population by destruction
of vital facilities and installations and by causing panic and riot-
ing.
d. Signalling to guide enemy ground, air or air -borne
troops to their objective such as warnings by rockets, lights in
chimneys and wells or by definite ground patterns.
e. Storage of gasoline, vehicles, food and other sup-
plies needed by advancing hostile forces.
f. Organized acts of sabotage, striking simultaneously
at different plants, facilities and critical points in conjunction
with external attack.
%. Probabilities.
The lack of proven enemy -inspired sabotage to date con-
firms the possibility that the Fifth Column is well disciplined and
awaiting planned and unified major action when directed. To direct
their activities it may be expected that attempts will be made to
land trained saboteurs and spies or to infiltrate them from neighbor-
ing nations. Such saboteurs are not limited to citizens or subjects
of Axis powers, but may be citizens of friendly or allied countries
or of the United States. Fifth Column activities may be expected
during a period of serious civil disorder.
10. Responsibilities.
a. Western Defense Command Sector. Commanders are re-
sponsible.for Counter Fifth Column planning and action for the area
within the section boundaries.
b. The Commanding General, Nint'_':_Service Command, is
responsible for Counter Fifth Column planning and action for the
area of the Ninth Service Command not included within Vlestern De-
fenso Command sectors.

sential.

means of keeping the public informed, advising civilians of action to
be taken.
h. Provision for constant revision of existing plans of

USE OF FEDERAL TROOPS AT REQUEST OF.STATE
1. The use of Federal forces to protect a State is a constitu-
tional duty of the National Government (Const., art. IV, sec. 4) and
is governed by R.S. 5297 and 5300; 50 U,S.C. 201 and 204. (See par.
/ra(1) and 6, AR 500-50, 5 April 1937.) Until further orders, the
. following procedure will govern the furnishing of Federal aid pur-
suarit thereto:
a. The request for Federal assistance must be made by the State
leg _slature if it is convened or if it can be convened in time to
meet the emergency; othervrise, by the Governor. (See President's
Proclamation No. 2581, 21 June 1943; S FR, 8733.)
b. The request must be made by the State direct to the Presi-
dent9 and a copy of such request should be furnished the commanding
general of the service command, or his local representative, as soon
as practicable. The request should assert that the forces of the
State are insufficient to cone with the emergency. A suggested form
of request is inclosed. (Intl. No. 1).
C. The Federal forces may be moved to the general vicinity of
the disturbance, but ';.rill not be brought to the scene of the dis-
turbance until the president has issued the proclamation required by
lair. This proclamation may demand the immediate dispersal of the
insurgents or may set a time within which the insurgents must dis-
perse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes. The command-
ing officer of the Federal forces 'mill govern_ his action accordingly.
A draft of the form of proclamation to be used by the President is
inclosed. (Intl. No. 2).
d. The commanding general of the service command should enter
. into an agreement with the State ;rhereby,any State forces present
will be subject to orders of the local commander of the Federal
forces. (See par. 7c, AR 170-10, 24 Dec. 1942.)
e. The Federal forces �aTill be withdrawn_ by the ITIar Department -
upon the recommendation of the commanding general of the service
command when the necessity for the use thereof has ceased. The
Governor should be informed at a reasonable time in advance,of the
plan to -rithdraw the Federal troops. No further proclamation or
instruction from the President is necessary to effect such withdraw-
al. (See par. 7e, AR. 500-50.)
7 -
2. The instructions concerning the use of Federal troops at
the request of a State do not affect the use of Federal troops in
an emergency in accordance with paragraph 5b, AR 500-50; nor do they
restrict the T:rartime responsibility of the commanding general of the
service command, and other designated commanding officers, on their
oran initiative to establish and maintain military guards and patrols
and to take other appropriate measures necessary or desirable to
protect national defense material, premises, and utilities, as re-
quired by Executive Order No. 89721 12 December 1941. (See Cir..5',,
7 1943.) Where action of the latter nature is to be taken in a
situation ,;:rhich might involve a request by the State for assistance
under R.S. 52971 the responsible commanding officer should issue a
proclamation stating that the sole object of his action is the pro-
tection of national defense material, premises, or utilities (speci-
' fyin the location thereof) in furtherance of the rear effort, as
required by Executive Order No. 5972.
3. The information contained in this memorandum ,will be brought
to the attention of the Governor of each State zwithin the limits of
the respective, service co -rands.
