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

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

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.

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

With Dog In Bejel
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: My
name is John. I . am 10 years
old. I have a dog. His name is
Beat. 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.

Four yea;ss ago my grandmoth

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

the agreement should have been

Dear Ann Landers: We just re

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.
