As Tension Grows
By United Press International

Maine to California reported
heightened interest today in
fallout shelters among anx
ious citizens aroused by the
developing Cuban crisis.

quests for survival informa
tion varied from "normal" in
come areas to "considerable"
in others.
The concern on the part of
Individuals was matched by
stepped-up activity at official
levels. But here again there
appeared to be no over-all
trend. Some communities
continued with existing pro
grams to meet the new threat.

not seem to make much dif
ference in public attitudes.

the coastal state of Washing
ton, people swamped local
CD headquarters with many
questions about fallout shel
ters and food supplies.
In other sections of the
nation things were pretty
much the same with Interest
varying from one locality to
another.
The national Civil Defense
headquarters In the nation's
capital said it had sent out
no new Information for peo
pie to slock up on food but
it is a part of the standard
program to encourage people
to maintain shelters with
about a two-week supply of
food and water.
One Washington, D.C., dairy

plastic bags for household
reserve supply purposes said
it had been swamped with
calls beginning soon after

Cuban quarantine speech
Monday night.
A spokesman for the na
tional headquarters said that
shelters for only several
hundred thousand people
have been slocked with food
and water although fin mil
lion shelter areas have been
named and are scheduled to
be stocked.
