2-(Sc. 2)-Siitesmn, Salem, Or., Friday, April 22, 1955 Atomic Bomb Shelter, Being Built on Estate Of Los Angeles Man ' By HENRY GR1S United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES (UP) An atomic bomb shelter is being built on the suburban estate of a Los Angeles industrialist Every one hopes it will never be put to a test. But the men who designed it believe they have come up with the best idea yet for survival un der atomic attack. Pap Third Biggest ler in Minot Run by Boy, 11 MINOT. N.D. W At the age of 11. when most boys have had time for little except Boy Scouts, cowboys and Indians. Richard Dahlen has found time for a whole series of newspapers.' " i ...a 11 1 From a relatively numDie Degin ning with the "Daily Carrot more than two years ago. Richard has risen to the post of publisher of The South Hill News. The South Hill News boasts of being "the third largest commer cial newspaper published inMi not." Its chief competitors in this city of less than 2,500 are a daily and a weeklv newspaper. A fellow doesn't expand that rapidly without running into per sonnel problems. For example. Richard was pub lisher, editor, advertising mana ger, reporter and photograpner oi The Daily Carrot. Now the sixth grader has taken on chdms as edi tor, feature editor and printer. To meet the needs of his grow ing business, Richard applied re cently for membership in The As sociated Press. , ; "This newspaper has a circula tion of about 50 copies every two weeks," he wrote the .AP, "and makes about $1.50 in advertising profits every issue ... Only $11 Loan T won't be able to become a member should the fee be over about 10 dollars, since all the money we could get in a loan would be about that."- . After due consideration. The As sociated Press diplomatically in formed Richard that he did not yet qualify for membership. But he was no more discouraged than when The Minot Daily News gent ly declined to sell out to The Daily Carrot. After all. he decided, there s plenty of room in journalism for a publisher who keeps his readers informed on news of Russians, rockets, baseball and Boy Scouts. And what other newspaper prints ' calendar at the beginning of ev ery year while listing, for the con venience of its readers, me memo rable events of the past year? Events, for example, such as the surrender of Dien Bien Phu in August and the big turnout of troop No. 32 and the Mouse ruver Loop District camporee in May. 2 at Christmas The most recent edition is 8 pages (it was 20 at Christmas) and carries 3 pages of advertise ments. There's a combination al manac, moon book and horoscope, and a stumpword contest, which is described as "along the lines 1 - 1 or a crosswora puzzie. ror eato correct answer there will be three free editions of this newspaper and 10 cents." - A sample news item reads, un w the hMHinff "Bov Builds Ro bot": "There's a mechanical man in , Minot.x We don't know what his name is but we do know that he was built by Jerry Anderson in about four hundred hours of spare lime. I Self-Propelled 'The 'thing- stands two feet high and weighs twenty-two pounds. It can propel itself, turn right or left, pick up objects and talk and lis ten. What we'd like to know is whether or not it can do the dishes." There's n editorial on griping, which winds up: "The strong man, the man who arrives, is the man who maps out his own course, changes when he finds he is in the wrong, but who does not -allow himself to be whipped, lacerated and his prog ress impeded by the mouthings of every whippersnapper who is al ways looking for a defective spot in every apple into which he bites." Circulation rates are 5 cents a ?opy. 50 cents a year in Minot, double outside the city. Had Richard been a quitter, he might have entered the creamery Husiness run by his father, Lester Oahlman. who also is one of the paper's biggest advertisers. But he's plugging ahead with the rame optimism that led him to ay two years ago: . S "I don't know who's going to Hiy the paper. Probably everybody :a town will want to, though." How can a fellow miss with that 'and of circulation? The shelter," involving a cylindri cal iron "hull" burried in the ground, is the brainchild of Paul Laszlo, a noted industrial design er, and James Clark and Maj. Robert Crawford, two aerodynam ics experts. They believe the shelter would offer complete protection to its oc cupants as close as one mile to the "ground zero" of an atomic bomb explosion. Ordinary build ings this close to ground zero would be demolished. Shelter Approved The Los Angeles City Planning Commission earlier this month gave its approval to the shelter. The first one is being built on the spacious grounds behind the home of industrialist John D. Hertz in suburban Woodland Hills. The shelter itself consists of a corrugated iron tube 10 feet in diameter and 30 feet long. It will be sunk in the ground and covered with about six feet of earth. It will have three rooms and a capacity of about , 14 people. Air ducts will be equipped with filters to clean radioactive parti cles out of the air that is sucked into the shelter. The equipment also includes oxygen tanks, an electric generator, an emergency water supply, a set of tools and a geiger counter and radio. But the most significant feature of the shelter, as Laszlo describes it, is the entrance. A concrete mound with a carefully worked out aerodynamic shape surrounds the entrance well. This mound is designed to create a low pressure area around the entrance no mat ter how powerful a blast of air is pushed over it. Important Door Laszlo said this feature protects the shelter from having its door torn off its hinges. An ordinary door would be ripped open by a blast six or eight miles away from ground zero. The shelter on the Hertz estate will be just outside the house, on the side away from the city of Los Angeles, "I usually design homes," said Laszlo, 52, who was a pioneer of the indoor-outdoor conception of modern home design. "But I couldn't stand by idly when so little was being done about design ing shelters." Hertz is a member of the board of trustees of the Lovelace Foun dation at Albuquerque, "N. M., which is noted for research in atomic age medicine. He asked Laszlo To go to work on a shelter, and agreed to have the first one installed at his home. It will cost $12,000. "We'll go on from this to sim plified models which can be much larger, for schools for instance, or much smaller, for a family, of more modest means," Laszlo said. Ward's Control Battle Reaches Climax Today CHICAGO (J) Louis Wolfson'i struggle to seize control of Mont gomery Ward L Co. will reach its climax Friday. , Wolf son and his entourage win attend Ward's annual stockholders meeting, where he wiHsee for the first time the man he's trying to overthrow Sewell Avery, Ward's chairman. Many hundreds of other Ward stockholders will be -at the meet ing, to be held in Medinah Temple. If the temple's 4,200 seats are filled, it will be the largest stock holder gathering in America's cor porate history. In the last 24 hours of his cam paign Wolfscn. his brother Cecil, and Alexander Rittmaster III re signed as directors of DeVoe & Ray nolds. This was done at a hastily called meeting of the executive committee of the paint firm. Wolfson announced the resigna tions at a news conference, show ing more irritation and anger at Ward's management than at any previous Chicago conference. Wolfson's action followed a state ment by Ward's attorneys that Wolfson his brother and Rittmast er might be violating the Clay ton Anti-Trust Act if they were I elected to seats on Ward's nine man board of directors. The attorneys said the act pro hibits anyone from being a di rector of two or more coopera tions, anyone of which has capi tal, surplus and undivided profits in excess of a million dollars, where such corporations are com petitors in interstate commerce and elimination of competition be tween them by agreement would be a violation of federal law. DeVoe & Raynolds manufactures and sells paint, as- does Ward's. Wolfson said the three men re signed "to eliminate any possibil ity of doubt about onr nominess for directors in the minds of Ward stockholders. He wouldn't .resign frpm DeVoe unless we were sure of getting on Ward's board." Wolfson added, "When this thing is over we expect to take legal action against Avery. He s a di rector of Pure Oil Co., which sells oil in competition with Ward's."

N. WASHINGTON UP) i Ex-Presi dent Herbert Hoover said Thursday this country cannot abandon the United Nations even though the U. N. "Has not fulfilled our hopes" as a mechanism for peace. The forjner President told the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee, too. he no longer favors ex pelling Russia from the United Na tions because of that country's re peated use of the veto. - ! I think we ve got to go on and worry. with the Russians! in. the U. N. in the hope that things will get better," he said. About 100 spectators In the Sen ate Office Building caucus room rose and applauded when the 80-year-old ex-President appeared to testify on the question on revising the U. N. Charter. : I He stated that no worthwhile re vision is possible unless there is "a great change in the whole Com munist attitude." But he did suggest some speci fic changes including a proposal that "all independent nations" should have membership in the U.N. He noted that 114 such coun tires have been barred j by Soviet vetoes. i- Hoover was not asked whether, under his proposal, Communist China could get into the world or ganization, but in 1954 he strongly opposed a 6eat for the Peiping regime. j " Sen. Sparkman (D-AlaV a com mittee member, told reporters lat er this question would arise so far as the United States is con cernedonly if this country gave diplomatic recognition to Peiping. ' The U.S. position now is that the Chiang Kai-Shek' government is the only one that can legiti mately represent China in the U.N. About 83 per cent of a normal man's knowledge comes to him through his eyes, says the Better Vision Institute. . jf TAURUS I W MAY 1 tt 8-12-23-34 AMI J1-14-25-36I i8-59-70 MAY 22 JUNE 22 T 3-16-27-33 hV47-ol-71 CANCfl JUNE 23 JULY 23 5-15-26-3 51-60-81-901 JULY 24 a AUG. 23 ICN 9-20-31-42I MvS-56-80-831 VWCO 'ft A ua ir. i i W4 IT) M NS? 64-73 SEPT. 22 30-41 S TAR G AZER V By CLAY; K.

P. loco motives last year. McCarty said in his complaint that he suffered a fractured skull and other injuries when the two engines collided in the Klamath Falls yard the morning of Nov. 26, 1954. He charged the company was negligent because the right of way was .obscured by clouds of steam and that neither he nor the other engineer had any warn ing of the impending collision. Food Prices Climb Slightly SAN FRANCISCO OB Food prices edged upward slightly in March in Los Angeles. San Fran cisco. Portland and Seattle, the regional office of the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statis tics reported Thursday. Max D. Kossoris, Western re gional director, placed the increase at 0.8 per cent in Los Angeles, 0.1 in San Francisco, 0.5 in Port land and 0.3 in Seattle. The increase resulted largely from increases in the prices of fruits and vegetables. Radio isotopes worth 30 mil lion dollars are sold each, ywr in the United States. Plywood Meet Plans Outlined PORTLAND UPi Plans for the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn.'s 50th anniversary program here June 19-21 were outlined to the Oregon Advertising Club Wednesday. James F.
