San Francisco (U.Pj Prayer
is your only weapon of defense
if you happen to live at the
"ground zero" center of explo
sion of a megaton-range nuclear
weapon.
A "megaton" nuclear weapon
U equal in explosive force to a
million tons of TNT. A home
shelter, even with this force,
may preserve the life of your
family at a surprisingly short
distance away.
The advent of the intercon
tinental ballistic missile (ICBM)
with an atomic or thermonuclar
warhead has made an undeclar
ed "push-button" war possible.
Because the time of warning
will be cut so drastically, there
is little likelihood an entire
populated area can be evacuat
ed Immediately. A well-constructed
shelter, then, may be
your only "life' preserver."
When the present Federal
Civil Defense Administration
was created in January, 1951,
shelter from possible atomic at
tack was given top priority.
From studies made at Hiroshima
and Nagasaki, it was found that
adequate shelter from atomic
weapons then used was feasible.
Japanese living in caves near
Iliorshima escaped the bomb.
No Tim To Run
Then came the period during
which improved radar detection
and the likelihood of increased
warning time led to an amphas
is on evacuation. But the swing
toward "running" was modified
to some degree by disclosures
the ICBM soon might be a
reality. It became imperative to
re-evaluate the entire shelter
concept. If there is not enough
warning time to shift large seg
ments of 165 million persons,
they've got to have a place to
hide. But how?
Persons living at the perimeter
of a target area, it has been
determined, have great possibili
ties of survival. But the shelter
must withstand the blast, its
after-effects and fallout. This
demands strong structural
strength. But harmful radio
active fallout, as learned from
the Bikini tests, can cover an
area downwind for 220 miles
and varying in width up to 40
miles roughly enough to cover
land from Washington, D. C. to
New York City, including the
cities of Baltimore, Wilmington,
Philadelphia and Trenton.
In such scattered areas light
er constructed shelters would
; be needed for protection against
the fallout. Hence, even rural
residents would be affected in
event of undeclared warfare.
Many Tests
FCDA engineers and scient
ists have subjected several shel
ters built underground, above
ground and within test houses
to actual atomic explosions at
the Atomic Energy Commission's
Nevada test site. In May, 1955
both family and public type
shelters were tested.
There were underground base
ment exit-types that would be
connected to houses through
basement walls; interior shelters
built within test houses, three
types of outdoor above-ground
shelters; basement lean-to and
corner shelters as well as under
ground shelters that could ac
commodate between 30 and 40
persons.
All shelters stood tip well to
the initial radiation, heat and
blast.
A bathroom-type shelter in a
rambler test house, 4,700 feet
from the center of the explosion,
was undamaged although the
house was demolished. Experts
agreed that humans in the shel
ter probably would have sur
vived without serious injury
from blast or missiles.
That means there actually ex
ists some means of de
fense against today's most pow
erful weapons. Some may die,
but many could live.

"difficult to accept" long-range guided missiles and intercon

Cold Has Little Effect
On Logging Operations
The recent cold spell has had
little affect on logging opera
tions v in this area, industry
sources said today. ,
Logging generally slows up
this time of the year due to the
weather, it was pointed out. The
industry spokesman added that
the lumber market affected the
operations more than the weath
er and because of the market
slump the weather caused little
change in sawmill and logging
operations.

Charles E. Wilson referred to the
White House as "not my dung

ident Eisenhower's office, he
really had not intended to give
an interview on his controver
sial views concerning the Nation
al Guard.
He tried every way possible to
stick to "no comment" as he left
his meeting with the President,
but the reporters were tenacious
and followed him out into the
rain.

Youths Said Ignoring
Draff Registrations
j Portland (U.PJ A growing
: tendency among youths reaching
I the age of 18 not to register
j promptly for selective service
j was reported today by Lt. Col.
j Charles E. Fitch, operations of
ficer for selective service in Ore
gon. He warned this could result
in penalties. - '
Col. Fitch said a review of
the list of registrants submitted
for the past several months in
dicated a widespread increase
in the number of young men
who are from one to six months
late in registering.
He said that in most cases
the delays probably are caused
by misinformation rather than
wilful disregard of the law. He
said even youths who join re
serve or guard units before their
18th birthday still must register
within five days of their birthday.
Klamath River Compact
Bill Goes to Senate
Salem (U.R) A bill to ap
prove the Klamath river basin
compact which affects Klamath
county in Oregon and an area
of northern California has been
introduced in the Senate by
Sen: Harry D. Boivin of Klam
ath Falls.
The compact which was re
cently drafted, must be ratified
by the "Oregon and California

goes into effect.
House. His famous crack, an
other in a long series, came in a
moment of torment as reporters
broadsided him with questions
and the news-reel cameras
ground away.
Wilson maintained that he had
not discussed his National Guard
views with the chief executive.
"Well, what did you talk
about if not the National
Guard?" he was asked.
Waving toward the White
House, Wilson said with visible
irritation, "This is not my dung
hill." He went on to add that
any White House announcements
would have to come from the
White House.
As Wilson walked away, some
one in the crowd complained,
"Man, is it ever raining cats and
dogs."
"Yeah," cracked another wet
newsman, "cats and kennel
dogs."
This, of course in reference to
a famous Wilson crack in 1954
in which he expressed a pref
erence for bird dogs who hunt
for food rather than kennel dogs
who yell for it. Some felt he was
talking about - unemployment.
Wilson denied that he was. But
the remarks got him into a very
large pail of hot water.
' Wilson has a passion about
using government transporta
tion for personal purposes. He's
strictly against it, an attitude in
quite some variance to that dis
played by some other members
of the administration whose of
ficial cars can be seen on oc
casion parked outside a grocery
or department store.
Wilson went on a week end
hunting trip down South last
winter and officials at Washing
ton National Airport were aghast
to find him standing patiently
in line at the Eastern Airlines
ticket counter, holding his shot
gun and waiting patiently with
the other passengers to pick up
his ticket.
When he went home for
Christmas, he and Mrs. Wilson
went to Union Station, bought
their tickets and boarded a train.
And during the pre-Christmas
period, Mrs. Wilson refused
flatly to use the government lim
ousine at her disposal for 'gift
shopping. She walked a good bit
from store to store and went
home in a cab.
