Development Stepped Up Dunn explained that the state 16 Oregon communities, especially in the highly recreational areas. The Reedsport or Port of Ump qua area could qualify, in general terms, for inclusion in the 16 com munities category, Dunn said.

Dr. Willard F. Libby, winner of the 1960 Nobel Prize for his dis covery of the carbon 14 "atomic clock," has little else left at his home or pile of rubble at 1016 N. Chantilly Road. No street in Hiroshima could have looked worse than Chantilly Road. The UCLA scientist's sand bag shelter minus its burned-up railroad tie beams did much bet ter than the house or the rest of the neighborhood. "I have more faith than ever in the shelter," Dr. Libby told this newsman today. "This shelter was designed against fallout a radio active powder not fire. Had there been a nuclear blast, I have no doubt that it would have more than done its job." I He said that he will rebuild it with different supporting beams. The fire, which came right over, the shelter, burned up the railroad , ties but left the sandbags mostly intact. "I'm thinking now about some 1 new kind of beams. Steel would be good but might make it too expensive. I'll come up with! something," be said. "Don't forget, there's a big dif ference in protecting yourself from falling powder than fire. The ties would have worked fine against radioactive fallout. "I've said all along that my shelter will work. Today, I say it more than ever." The Libby "poor man's shelter" is a hole dug horizontally into the hillside back of what was once his home. As he shoveled out the dirt, he put It into 100-pound burlap bags to construct walls three feet thick. Then be built another dirt wall in front of the hole with an offset. That's because radiation can't turn corners. He laid the railroad ties above the sidewalls and stacked bags three feet deep atop the beams. The shelter gave a dirt wall en closure of 4 by 6 feet. The bags were all treated with zinc chro mate, a chemical preservative. Other than a few holes, the bags were undamaged. Mrs. Libby, who had to flee when the flames came, said she gave no thought to the shelter. "I grabbed my mink ccat and my husband's Nobel Prize and got out," she said. strip at East Gardiner, a hill crest east of Reedsport; and the Lake side airport. The atrip must be 2j0by-l,uut) feet.

L. J. Fullerton, county savings bond committee chairman said sales of these securities in the state of Oregon last month were well ahead of a year ago. Said Fullerton: "Sales in the state in October totaled $2,699,043, about 10 per cent ahead of the same month in 1960." "Most Oregonians have a strong desire to do something for the country in these troubled times, the chairman continued. "The pur chase of U.S. savings bonds pro vides the buyer with an opportu nity to help the U.S. Treasury De costs of national defense, and at the same time add to his personal security througn the ownership of a large number of bonds."
