Chances Of Living Through
Atomic Oomb Attack Good If
Shelter Is Quickly Obtained
By DOUGLAS 1. CORNELL , j
WASHINGTON, March 2. UP) Your chancel ot living through '
an atomic bomb attack could be lot better than you think. !
You might come through it alive and unharmed if there are aheltera ! I
and if you get a warning in time to dive Into one.
The Atomic Energy commission I
(AEC) tayi this:
"Safety will, in large meaiure,
depend upon adequate warning of
an attack, warning which it muit
be assumed will come from the
radar system of the national mili
tary establishment. Such warning
when combined with aheltera for
those who must atay in threatened
areas, will minimize, or even elim
inate casualties."
But before you start bubbling
with optimism, there is this to'
consider:
The Defense department la work
ing on that radar network, plua a
system of volunteer spotters to fill
in the gaps. But only a start haa
been made. Furthermore, nobody
haa done much about aheltera.
And there is no use trying to hide
the fact that if you are caught in
an unprotected spot anywhere near
an atomic explosion your chancea
of surviving are just about zero.
You would be killed by the blast,
terrific beat, collapsing buildings,
or maybe radiation.
Yet any sort of protection, even
clothing, is better than none. The
best spot is an airtight shelter cov
ered by plenty of earth, ateel or
concrete.
You ought to stay out of build
ings, unless they have built-in shel
ters. The A EC saya a building
isn't safe within three miles of a
likely target.
Heme Basement Good Soet
But the basement of your home
would give you reasonable protec
tion against a distant explosion,
Sroviaea you nad a way to get out
the house caught fire.
Maybe you have an idea that the
rays from an atomic blast are what

do most of the killing and Injury.
That seems to be wrong.
In Japan, only IS out of 100
deaths apparently were due to ra
diation. Blasts and burns were the
big killers. i
That is because the effects of
blast and heat reach out much
farther than- those of radiation.
The Hiroshima and Nagasaki
bombs spread destruction and se
rious damage to buildings and
death and serious injury to people .
iwo mnes irom ine points above
which they went off. The extreme
limit of damage waa around four I
miles.
If you came through an atomic :
explosion and survived the rsdia-!
two, government doctors say you
would have a good chance of re-1
turning to a normal life. There
probably wouldn't be any peculiar,
lasting, after-effects aa a result
of exposure to radiation. !
Perhaps you've aeen pictures of .
Japanese who lived through atomic
explosions but were horribly acar-1
red or crippled. The doctors say i
this waa a result of Infection and
slow healing burns suffered in
non-atomic bomb raida caused j
about the same sort of scars.
The AEC saya even loose clothing
provided some protection against
flash burns from the radiant heat
of atom bombs. White clothing was
more protective than dark because
it tended to reflect rather than
absorb the heat.

Textbook Ban In
Texas Approved !
HOUSTON. Tex.. Msrch 29-UPt-
The Houston School board backed
up previous action of banning a
civica textbook by aelecting anoth
er for students to atudy.
The board yesterday selected I
"Living in the People's World," ;
by Roth Hobbs Greenleaf aa the
text high school students will atudv
for the next six yeara.
Last October the board banned
the late Dr. Frank Magruder'a
American Government" from the 1 1
city a ten high schools.
Magruder'a text waa banned aft
'. some members of lha hnarrf I
said a footnote paragraph might ! I
cause students to think Socialism
ana communism are good.
Selection of the new text was
made on recommendation of teach-1
ers' textbook committee. I
This group rejected a recom
mendation from a civica teachera
group which unanimously asked
Magruder'a text be retained. Thia
group said "Living in a People's
World" is a social problems text.
Magruder'a text is still in use
here. It waa decided students could
study it the remainder of the school
year in that at the time of the
banning they had already passed
the section containing the objec
tionable paragraph.
The paragraph appeara in the
book's 1945 edition. It mentions
public school systems as an ex- i
ample ot Communism.
