    Freeman company Recommend o.k. on following idea for Danny Thomas: In conjunction with the Atomic Energy Commission and Federal Civil Defense Administration, 1 suggest Danny Thomas appear at the High School on Monday, April 25th, to personally distribute Identification Tags to some 130 youngsters of all ages, as part of a Civil Defense project which will be photographed and publicized quite heavily. Some 15,000 Las Vegas students will be given their Identification Tags that day in their class rooms to wear during the Atomic Test period, and the 130 youngsters will be used to publicize this important step by Federal Civil Defense. This event is the kick-off of a National project by the Government to get every youngster in America wearing an Identification Tag, in preparation for a very possible atomic attack. This event is slated to take place about 2:00 P.M. on Monday, April 25 - - and should take about an hour and a half. This could be a very dignified and top level public relations move on Danny*s part if he would give us the o.k. tonight. The Federal Civil Defense wants to bring in Red Skelton for this promotion, inasmuch as Skelton is pushing the Identification Tag project on his program, but I can deliver this event for Danny if I can get an immediate o.k.
