..'CJ PAGE t HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Tuetday, September 5, 1961 Start Now To Survive Nuclear Attach - Congress Will Help In Mi d-Sixties By RAY CROMJ.EY WASHINGTON (NEA) - To make It 85 per cent sure that you and your family would live through an all-out atomic war in the mid 19W)s or after, you must start work now. ' This is the advice of the Admin istration's civil defense research men. You already have read that with a jlltle preparation and planning y'oji have a good chance of living! through a war if one should oc cur this year over Berlin. The Russians are relatively weak now in their aDiiity to make heavy intercontinental nuclear attacks. Most of the strikes would be with not-too-fast airplanes. For such planes, U.S. defenses are not bad. But by the middle and late 1960s, the strikes would be witn interconti nental missiles, or high-speed planes. Relatively U. S. de fenses would be much weaker then! unless there is -a major break-! through. The Russians in the middle and late 1960s, however, would have more and tougher military targets to hit before they would be able to spare missiles and planes wan tonly to destroy large numbers of American cities. What this means is simple. All- out Russian strikes in the mid dle and late 1960s could still kill ALARM REPEATER National emergency alarm re. peafer (NEAR shown in picture I would be plugged Into wall socket in all U.S. homes. only a small proportion of Amer icans by blast. Yet 100 to 400 mil lion more could be killed by ra- dioactivj fallout unless Americans were prepared. The government has plans to help. If Congress approves Piosident Kennedy's new civil defense pro gram, the first step will be to identify every possible natural shelter in office buildings, schools, churches, basements, subways IT u i f OIVIBIHS SINK lwm V U'0'llT. ! 1 1 If . ll eMtfma B J I L BKIIUILI tO'lWI'piLIT o CONTtlWR FLOOR PUN FALLOUT SHELTER This Is a floor plan of a basement fallout shelter. Details on construction may be .obtained from your nearest civil defense headquarters or from the federal office at Battle Creek, Mich. Greeks Had iverything-Even Peace Corps in every building near population centers. The experts say they ex pect to find natural shelters for 43 million to SO million people, not; including caves and mines. The Defense Department will then mark all these shelters. This marking is expected to be com pleted by the end of 1962. The next step would be to sup ply these shelters with 'he mini- mums for survival food, toilet facilities, blankets, medicine, first aid kits, radiation dosimeters. Then defense men will push the improvement of these thousands of shelters with forced-draft1 ventilation operated from standby power sources, with better emer gency toilet facilities, with run ning water where possible. They will push plans too, for making first-rate shelters out of second, third and fourth-rale shel ters. In some places a few sand bags will make the difference. They will start making chang es in government buildines to eventually for 100 million Americans. State, county and city govern ments will be encouraged to pro vide for fallout shelters in all new office buildings. There may eventually be federal aid on a 50 bo basis. The Pentagon will rush a na tionwide home buzzer system for warning every household in the country that an attack is immi nent. This National Emergency Alarm Rcoeater system NEAR has already been tried out in ine town. Within the next few months, NEAR will be tried out statewide in Michigan. - Then it will be organized, area by area, through the nation. The experts say that $30 mil lion will transform the nation's electric power stations for NEAR. After his local power sta tion has been equipped, a local householder will be able to buy a buzzer about the size of two provide shelter space whereve:ci6arette Pac!(S for or s0- He possible. They will encourage the building of fallout shelters in all new feral buildings. Civil defense experts expect that this forced air ventilation, other improvements in second, third and fourth-rate shelters, the changes in government buildings, will combine to more than double the adequate shelter space. They ,'isay these improvements would mean total marked shelter spaces WASHINGTON AP - Those ancient and remarkable Greeks thought of everything. -.They even had their own ver inn nf a Peace Corps. Dr. John F. Latimer, professor of classics and associate dean of faculties at George Washington University, said today a some' what similar idea was first thought of five centuries before Christ, "And. my soul," Latimer said, "It worked." None ot tnese oia ureens over went to Harvard, but they decided, just as President Kennedy was to decide 2,400 years later, that young men should perform an act of service for the public good. -.Naturally, they had a word for it: They called tills Institution "Leitourgia," which means a pub lic service, and a derivation of this word is still with us In "lltur- ' gy" a rite prescribed for public worship. mm.

I QUINN f YOKO TANI No comparison can be pressed' too far, and this is no exception The Greeks thought service should mean that the young men would contribute not only their time and talents but also their money. This limited Leitourgia to the wealthy. Nor did the Greeks have eager young ladles racing out to do their bit. With all their pioneer tninK- ing a misogynist might say pos- bly because ot it tne Greens had little room for women in their great plans, , Nor were the jobs to be done exclusively for peace. Indeed, one chore was the exact opposite. A wealthy young man could equip a ship lor war. Or he could train competitors for the gymnasium contests, Or, if artistically Inclined, he could fix up a chorus for musical competitions for the great public festivals. Or he could superintend the sa cred embassies to the four great national festivals, or to Delos and the other holy places, an opera lion, Latimer believes, that close ly parallels the spirit of the Peace Corps. Incidentally, classical languages have no more ardent public re lations man than Latimer, who fori years has been Insisting that the position U.S. education should adopt is not science vs. the clas- Klansmen Jeer Police Chief Af Race Rally Musicologist Gets Works SEATTLE (AP) - A University, of Washinglon musicologist has ac quired about half of composer Anton Webern's works.

ATLANTA (AP) - A jeering group surrounded a car contain ing Police Chief Herbert Jjnklns during a segregation rally spon sored by the Ku Klux Klun, ap parently in the belief he was an FBI agoni. . . About 25 persons clustered around Jenkins' car Mondav night while a larger band half a block away In West Atlanta was pro testing the arrest of a man iden tified as Roy E. Frankhauser Jr. of Reading, Pa., on charges of assaulting an officer and disturb ing the peace. In the police car were Jenkins, unarmed and wearing slacks, and Atlanta Constitution reporter Keel- er McCartney, Pull them out, the men shout ed, apparently thinking Jenkins was an FBI agent. "1 know It's the FBI," a man said. "One of them arrested me last week Additional police officers pushed through the gathering and cleared the way. The police chief and the reporter drove off and the crowd dispersed. The Jeering and the arrest oc curred alter an estimated 300 per sons gathered in Almond Park for a rally sponsored by the United Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux Man. Grand Dragon Calvin P.

We named him that because that is how he looked when he was bofn. My problem is that I like to have Beat in my bed at night when I go to sleep. My mother is against it. I sneaked him in a couple of times and she caught me. She was very cross. Mom says docs should not be in bed with people because It is hot healthy. I am in good health. So is my dog. What is wrong with a nice clean dog being In bed with people? We give him a bath ev ery week. , . Please print my letter in the paper so my mother can see it. Thank you. JOHN Dear John: If your mother doesn't want you to have Beat In your bed, that should settle it. I can understand why she feels as she does because 1 feel the jjnic way.. On the other hand many of my friends tell me that when they were children their mothers didn't mind the dog sleeping in their beds and nobody got sick from II. Dear Ann Landers: I'm a prac tical nurse, 48 and unmarried Four yea;ss ago my grandmoth er's sister became bedridden. She was a well-to-do widow, but so disagreeable they couldn't get a nurse who would stay with her for more lhan a week. They asked me, as a favor to the family, 'o take the case. I agreed. Aunt Hattie told me she was putting me In her will for a large part of her estate and therefore I would receive only "pocket money" ($20 a week) plus room and board. She said I'd never have to work again after she died. Two weeks ago they buried her. Yesterday the family gathered around for the reading of the will. My name was not mentioned. I told her daughter, who inherit ed the bulk of the estate, about Aunt Hattie's promise. She re plied, "That's ridiculous. You were paid weren't you?" When I told her of our arrangement she nesses of system. today's civjl defense snapped "If mama paid you $20 a week that s all she thought you were worth. Can I sue the estate? Please answer In print. I don't care if the whole town reSls this. QUEEN OF THE CHUMPS Dear Queen: It's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback but the agreement should have been in writing. Now you must hire a lawyer to see that justice is done. Dear Ann Landers: We just re turned from our vacation and I have been reading the back issues of the newspaper. Your column which printed all those heart warming letters in praise of the mothers-in-law really touched my heart. I am so happy for all those grand people who wrote. What fortunate women they are to have been blessed with such terrific mothers-in-law! If you ever decide to give medal to the daughter-in-law who has taken the most guff, please let me know. 1 am Number One in the country When & comes to. having been abused, p u s h e fl around and dominated. Several of my friends have suggested that I deserve a medal. So, if you would like to send one, here is my name and address. CLINTON, IOWA Dear Clinton: Sorry, there are no medals for abused daughters- in-law only scars! Confidential to The Sucker: The next time he tells you how sorry he is that he left his wallet in his other pants, give him bus fare and tell him to go home and get his other pants. To learn the knack of feeling comfortable with the opposite sex, send for Ann Landers' booklet, "How To Be Date Bait," enclos ing with your request 20 cents In coin and a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems Send them to her in care of this newspaper enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope. School districts will be enuour-into fallout shelters where possi aged to transform school roomsible. and to build th'e auditoriums and caletcnas in new scnoois so they can also be used as fallout shelters. At the same , time, the Defense Department is developing a pri-, ority plan for the defense of top military sites against Russian at tack. Intercontinental missile sites' are already being hardened. Now studies are being made on the feasibility of protectingt h e big strategic p.lr command bomb er bases by some way other mitt expensive air alerts. There's a be lief in Pentagon military circles; that some of these planes shoulcb be put in bomb-proof shelters perhaps underground, as in Swe den. 4 (Next: The stale of Soviet civuj defense.) Next step will be neighborhood shelters. The old plans called for pushing communities lo build spe cial 100-man or 150-man fallout shelters in the suburbs. That's ap parently out. The new plan Is to encourage churches, neighborhood super markets and stores to mSce the changes necessary for emergency use as fallout shelters for the neighborhood. WASHINGTON (NEA) Where do you fit into the long-range civil defense picture? What can you as an individual do to help insure your own survival in the mid-1960s and beyond? As always, the first step is to make a p'.an. For even after the 'government marks shelters, there is no intention of assigning people. There will be fewer shelters than people. Those that get there first would be in; those outside would die, . The men doing the planning are coldly mathematical about this. They expect violent mobs, hysteria, attacks on the shelters by persons caught outside. Therefore, the experts say, you had better make certain there is a shelter you can get to and get to on time and get to ahead of others who might be trying to get there first. Or you had better build a cheap shelter of your own. If you have a basement, building a shelter is cheap. If you are building an addition to your house, making one room into a dual-purpose family room-fallout shelter Is not expensive. If you are building a new house, it costs little more to make one of your rooms usable as a fallout shelter. You would be in very great danger of dying from fallout if you lived or worked within 200 miles downwind from a major target. But a simple fallout ehelter might save your life if you were more than five to 10 miles from where the bomb hit, de pending on the size ot the nuclear warhead. The new civil defense program makes no provision for defense against blast. If you live within 10 or so miles of where a bomb is likely to drop, you must build a blast shelter of your own, or be prepared to move out before a bomb dropped. Whether you build a family shelttSbtherBQare other things you must accomplish In the next several years if you want Co be reasonably certain of surviving any possible attack? You must make certain that your neighborhood schools make the changes necessary so some school rooms or base ments couldobe used as fallout sheltefsr Your children might not be able to get home in tjme. You should make certain that your church, your neigh borhood, supermarket, other buildings in your neighborhood, have fallout shelters. Even if you have a shelter of your own, it is to your interest to make certain there is shelter space for everyone. A member of your family might not be able to reach home. Hysterical neighbors might attack, force you out of your own shelter. In an atomic attack, could you shut the door of your shelter to the children and babies in your neighborhood? ' . ' . Be certain to buy a dosimeter, a radioactivity gauge, a gas mask, a NEAR buzzer, a first - aid kit, food, water, other key supplies. Learn something about decontamination, first aid, how much radiation it's safe to take. Remember, scientists believe you have an excellent chance to stay alive, vn if you Uv in a big city, if you start eee pare NOW.
