The prison crew has been an important part of the well organized fire protection organization covering nation al, state and bureau of land management timber acreage. Newspapers, radio and tele vision have all been highly cooperative in public educa t i o n programs emphasizing the importance of caution in the forests, especially during the summer seasons, Nesheim said. As a new approach to a vitally essential program, a hohse - to - house canvass has been found effective in rural areas, conducted by regular staff members. The state forestry depart ment here works in close co operation with the U.S. forest service and with the bureau of land management. Under con tract with the BLM, the de partment contracts to give fire protection to BLM forests as well as state timber. With the new area of timber in the Gallce district soon to come under Neshelm's depart ment supervision, the fire pro tection area will exceed 1, 750,000 acres. 1 There were approximately 275 fires in southern Oregon forests last year in the area directed from the state . for estry department office here, and acres of timber destroyed were less than in many years, due to effective cooperation between state and federal agencies and the timber in dustry. Along with efforts to reduce man-caused forest fires, study has been given to techniques in lowering losses from lightning-caused fires. Manpower, equipment and funds are contributed by the timber industry when fire emergencies arise, the speaker said. Post Office Selects New Site at Albany Washington - (UPO - Rep. Edwin R.

Russians Declared Spending Huge Sum On Fallout Shelters Washington - (UPt - A secret study shows that Russia is spending from f 500 million to $1.5 billion yearly on fallout shelters. It is believed "the great majority" of Russians would be protected from radi ation in a nuclear war. Frank B. Ellis, director of the Office of Civil and De fense Mobilization, told a House appropriations subcom mittee about the - study in testimony published today. He asked for $2 million to pro vide fallout shelters In 29 ex isting government buildings and (6.2 million to Include shelters in planned new buildings. Ellis described the shelter program as a pilot project and said he hoped It would set an example for Americans gen erally. Already some builders are offering shelters with homes, he said. Fallout Most Dangerous The civil defense director said most deaths in a nuclear attack would result not from blast and heat but from re sulting radioactive fallout, de pending on wind and weather conditions. He said most peo ple would have time to take shelter if it were available. Ellis' proposal ran into hos tile questioning by subcom mittee members who rejected as did Congress - a similar request a year ago. Members indicated they had doubts that Ellis had any new Information to back up the renewed request. In reply he mentioned the classified report on Russian spending for shelter. He said it was made by a man who speaks Russian fluently and who spent six months In Rus sia. He declined to name the man. He offered to present the study later in secret ses sion. Shortage of Figures "We realize the shortage of figures," he said, "but they specifically indicated that the great majority of the Soviet population would be protect ed from fallout." . In urging approval of a pilot shelter program In this country Ellis said, "I believe, gentlemen, that we are deal ing with human survival.' Shelters to be provided in federal buildings would be planned for two-week occu pancy, with Independent wa ter, sewage, and electrical systems. .
