Gen. C. R. Huebner, State C-D Director, both labelling the rumors as entirely false. \A communication to me from Gen. Huebner's office,\ said Ryan, \urges all Civil Defense directors and Ground Observer Corps per- sonnel to continue their efforts to secure 100 per cent operation of the ground observation posts through- out New York State. We are assured by the Air Force that Operation Skywatch is to be continued for an indefinite period.\ Ryan announced that Joseph M. Geoghan of'Bellerose, chief of the Motion Picture section of Civil De- fense, has reported that the thriller, \Air Defense,\ will be shown at the Mineola Theatre, Sept. 7, 8 and 9; and, in conjunction with \My Son John\ at the Lynbrook Theatre on September 23.
