By JAMES C. ANDERSON
United Press Staff Correspondent
PHOENIX, May 30— (U.P.)
Plans for a civilian defense co
ordinating agency, designed to
supervise federal, state, county
and private groups now working
without central authority, were
being considered today by Gov.
Sidney P. Osborn.
The new “master council,” ac
cording to a spokesman for the
governor would be formed along the
lines of the administration-sponsor
ed civilian defense bill, which was
submitted to the 15th state legisla
ture but died in committee.
The spokesman said Osborn was
seeking to set up the new coordinat
ing agency without calling a special
session of the legislature. In event
a special session is called to con
sider other matters, however, the
legislators will be asked to enact
laws to give the agency authority,
it was said.
Dozen Groups
Under proposed plans, the coor
dinating agency—which will not be
connected with active military de
fense-will be made up of repre
sentatives from more than a dozen
