先生：WC Menninger关于堪萨斯洪水的报告表明了收集这些观察结果的重要性。尽管有旧世界的经验，但我们对我国人民对任何严重紧急情况可能作出的反应一无所知。因此，我们无法从其他灾难中获得足够的补充经验来作为测试案例。我们完全有理由修正我们的大陆朋友关于平民有能力“夺取它”的不祥预测。虽然奥森威尔斯战前的“来自火星的入侵”广播被过度宣传，但对实际灾难的报道应该承担更多的分量。最近在克恩县发生的一系列地震提供了一个机会，可以对门宁格报告中提到的那些进行一些额外的观察。由于这里没有“大约100名训练有素的精神病医生”的设施，因此单个观察者的印象自然是有限的和个人的。这些经历可以与他在过去几十年中在三大洲的经历相比较，包括两次世界大战和中日“事件”。7月21日和8月22日，克恩县经历了严重的地震。第一次袭击摧毁了山区小镇特哈查比的商业区，造成14人死亡;第二次袭击显然集中在市中心的贝克斯菲尔德商业区，随后摧毁了许多旧的商业建筑，需要暂时用绳子隔离68个街区。尽管当时正值交通高峰期，许多墙壁和屋顶倒塌，但生命损失却奇迹般地微乎其微。第一次地震发生在凌晨（大约00点），而最后一次地震发生在一个繁忙的忙碌下午3点半。7月21日至8月22日期间以及此后发生了多次余震和轻微地震。这是贝克斯菲尔德自1860年建立以来历史上的第一次大地震。越大
SIR: WC Menninger’s report on the Kansas flood shows the great importance of collecting such observations. Despite old world experiences, we are in the dark as to the possible reactions of our population to grave emergencies of any kind. Therefore, we cannot have enough supplemental experiences from other catastrophes that may serve as test cases. We have every reason to revise the ominous predictions of our continental friends as to the ability of the civilians“to take it.” While the Orson Wells prewar “invasion from Mars” broadcast was given undue publicity, reports on actual catastrophes should bear more weight. The recent series of earthquakes in Kern County offered an opportunity for some additional observations to those mentioned in Menninger’s report. Since the facilities of “about 100 trained psychiatrists” were not available here, the impressions of a single observer are naturally limited and personal. They can be compared with similar experiences he had on 3 continents during the last decades, including 2 world wars and the Sino-Japanese“incident.” On July 21, and again on August 22, Kern County experienced severe earthquakes. The first wrecked the business district of the small mountain town of Tehachapi and killed 14 people; the second apparently was concentrated on the downtown business district of Bakersfield, with the ensuing destruction of many older business buildings, requiring the temporary roping off of 68 city blocks. The loss of life was miraculously minimal in spite of the rush hour and the collapse of many walls and roofs. While the first quake occurred in the early morning (about: 00 o’clock), the last one took place in the midst of a busy afternoon at 3: 30. There were numerous after-temblors and minor shocks between July 21 and August 22 and since then. These were the first major earthquakes in the history of Bakersfield since its founding around i86o.
