Th nrobauility may not b, so great, but another surprirs attack similar to Pearl parbor, according to the best thinking of our Civfr Defense authorities. could knock out a prime target urea such as San Crancisco Bay in a matter of minutes. Those who would survive wouli be those who were pre- pated. And the Federal Civil Defense Administrating h o 1 djs out real hope of survival for those not directly under ICBM It depends upon proper shel- ier-;-shelter that actuaMg has been tested lr? simulated nuc'.ear attack. Such tests were con- cluctetl in May, 1955. and earlier and have profe.i tteat persons could survive even ajt surprising ly clos distances from "ground rerS" center of explosion. 0 Steps lo Consider ' o Here are the steps the FCEA suggests should be3 considered in selecting a "life preserver" home shelter: 1. Ifoyou live within 19 min utes of the downtown section of a large city, ypu rrJed sub stantial protection against blfpt. heat, and nucl&ar radiatiijn. For lowest cost if your h8me has a basement, choose a corner in it nearest the probable target area to build your shelter. It shofild be strong enough to withstand the blast pressure and to support the debris load if your house should collapseYour shel ter also should have enough shielding material around, and oveP it to reduce nuclear radia tion to safe levels. This shield ing may be provided by such for Yalenfifig's $V$ 9up ffi rn& nOturCl looji f.orlegs-. All l- r . t. o o O . ? to ',', f I j ' .

J3ut you still need protection against nuclear radiation from fallftirt. In fact,.nO matter where in, the United States you live, you may need this protection. & cover of almost ny mate 'ral even clnthinc nSovides some protection against failouto The ordinary home will reduco radStioi by only 8nje-half. Ra diation f?i the average basement willdbe not less thanol-10th that outside. On the other hand, three feet of earth over a typical root cellar or low-ost backyard shel ter, will reduce tol-5.CW0t the radiation of tffat outflde. This considered adequate. ' 6tKr S,uppliet Persons in such shelters would be able to leave within a reason able time after attack. Yet some time mus,t be spent in any shelter. Provision? there fore, iust be made for fiiis stay. Of prime importance would be a portable, battery type radio as the onlv Source of official Civil Defense information and instruc tions. There also should be a first did kit in or near the shel ter well as a seven-day supply of food and water.
