Summary	The problem of how to minimize danger to massed groups of people in stores during enemy air raids requires careful preparation. Obviously, there is danger of a greater number of persons being injured in such concentrated groups than there is in dispersed elements of a community. Similarly, the danger of panic is more acute. The responsibility for the protection of employees, patrons and property in stores rests directly upon the management. It is incumbent upon the management to organize, train their personnel and to cooperate closely with the local Citizens' Defense Corps.--p. 6.
