whether this is a complete dis
mantling of the project or not I
do not know. Revived a few years
ago in response to fears of a sur
prise attack, observers scanned
the skies and reported flights to
filter centers, after the manner of
wartime. The reason given now for
winding up this work is the lessen
ing fear of attack by manned air
craft. In addition new installa
tions, such as the SAGE being con
structed at former Camp Adair,
provide a superior system of detec
tion and gives direct coordination
with defense units.
This was an Air Force project
though it did require recruiting of
civilian volunteers for the work.
The civil defense organization re
mains, but it continues to run into
a vast amount of public inertia.
People refuse to get alarmed over
possible local danger, or else take
a fatalistic attitude toward it.
One civil defense proposal has
never gained favor, that was the
building of underground shelters.
As developed by research engi
neers of the National Academy of
Sciences this would have initiated
construction of shelters to protect
some 13S.000.000 people. The cost
was variously estimated at from
$20 to $34 billion. Aside from the
staggering cost another factor has
lessened any enthusiasm for the
project and that is the shift in wea
pons. If attack came from manned
bombers flying at 600 mph there

Officials said the figures should
not be taken to mean that Ameri

wage or other income increases,
they said, which contributed to
the increase in prices, but at the
same time eased the effect of
higher prices on those who got
the raises.
Business Report ,
The cost of inflation was high-
l lighted in a report by the Office
of Business Economics OBE).
The total value of goods and serv
ices, it said, rose from an annual
rate of 426 billion dollars at the
end of 1956 to 439 billion dollars
during the third quarter this year.
This figure called the gross na
tional product or GNP jumped
three billion dollars in the first
quarter of 1957. five billion in the
second quarter, and another five
billion in the third quarter.
A spokesman for OBE said
practically the entire 13 billion
dollar increase, reflected higher
prices.
Spending Climbs
The government report, showed
that American consumers spent
nearly five billion dollars more in
the third quarter of this year than
they did in the second. Most of
the expansion was in purchases of
food, clothing, and other nondur
able goods. During the third quar
ter, consumer buving reached an
annual rate of 2834 billion dol

Dr. Yakov AiDert tow memrjers1
of the Soviet Academy of Sciences

evaluation shows that every cubic
centimeter contains several thou
sands particles of gas."

proved experimentally by means
of the artificial earth satellite."
Albert, described as a doctor of
physical mathematical sciences,

Russian physicists. Possibly hint
