Governor Herbert H. Lehman, in an unprecedented peace time move yesterday, appointed 12 members of State Defence Council to coordinate their preparedness activity in line with the national defence programme.
"We have no time to waste," he asserted. "I am convening a first meeting (of the 12 council members) in a few days."
The 12 men selected include leaders of industry. labour. agriculture, transport and public utilities.—United Press.
