Fallout Shelter Simple Task Blast Protection More Difficult Jt is relatively simple to build adequate shelters to provide pro tection from fallout radiation. But it;;is very difficult to design a shelter to resist blast effects. v This was reported at the Uni versity of Oregon by George F. Andrews, associate professor of architecture, after he returned from an eight-week course in shel ter planning at Pennsylvania State University. lie was one of 18 architects and civil engineers who participated in the course under a contract with the U.S. Office of CivU and De fense Mobilization. In November he will go to the University of Washington for two weeks to in struct a group of architects and engineers who will be making a national shelter survey. The survey will reveal what shelter ureas are now available to-, give protection against fallout radiation. Andrews said it B hoped that areas for 60 million people might be found. Fallout radiation should not be confused with radiation from a nearby nuclear blast, or the im mediate blast effects, he said. M explained that while some fallout shelters might provide sajiis blast protection, in general thfcre Is no effective way to build bl&st shelters for an appreciable part of the population. ?'A fallout shelter is a place to gd when there is a nuclear blast sohiewhere else," Andrews add ed. foollar for dollar, It might be aigued that the nation would get M.

"For blast effects, there is such a short warning time that many people would not be able to reach a blast shelter in time. But when radiation increases from nuclear bombing, it is possible to give adequate warning time." Chief problem in designing a blast shelter is designing an ade quate door, he said. But for a correctly designed fallout shelter, a door is not even necessary. For those who might be consid ering building a shelter at their home, he advised that the aver age person would be wise to con sider only a fallout shelter. He said it was the hope of the Defense Department that as a Name Mispronounciaiion Pet Peeve oi Oregonians A pet peeve of residents of Ore gon Is hearing the name of their state mispronounced. It seems that a great number of non Oregonians believe the state's name should be pronounced Ore-uh-GON with the accent on the last syllable, rather than the correct way ORE-uh-gun. But when It comes to pronounc ing, spelling, or even locating some of the lesser known place names in the state, many Ore gonians would get a failing mark. For Instance, a newcomer mightl not know how to pronounce Wll lamette correctly when he arrives in the state, but he'd better learn in a hurry the right way to say it Is Wil-AM-uht.

A Transport Workers Union spokesman described the difficulty as an attempt to break an agree ment made earlier this week. A company spokesman said it was a simple misunderstanding. The union is protesting test flights involving semiautomatic devices which, Hie union contends, would replace 66 navigators on overseas flights. Earlier this week a presidential emergency board was appointed to study the dispute. This proce dure normally bars a strike for 30 days. A strike set for midnight Oct. A was called off at Die last minute after appointment of the board. Autos Crash An automobile driven by Fan nie B. Scott, Route I, Box 407. was struck by a second vehicle driven by Hamilton H. Fox.

"If it increased the cost of a building, it would only be by a very small amount," he said. The shelter space could be designed to be used also for ordinary build ing purposes. Some large buildings have al ready been designed in this man ner. The New York Telephone Co. now has such a program for its new buildings, Andrews reported.

Mrs. Muriel McKcvitt Sonne told police that the robber posed as a police officer in order to gain entrance to her apartment in the posh Pocific Heights district at about 5:15 Friday night. She said the man Informed her, "I have reason to believe you arc going to be robbed. While he was turning this opin ion into fact, he bound and gagged the 47-year-old Mrs. Sonne but not too tightly, she said. "He was really very decent." she said. "He took the gag out so I could tell him where my money was, and when 1 asked him not to put it hack too tight he didn't." Soviets Fire Atom Blast WASHINGTON (API The So viet Union has fired its 18th nu clear explosion in the atmosphere since the Russians' current test series began Sept. 1. The U.S. Atomic Energy Com mission said the test device uv detonated early Friday in the vi- cinity of Novaya Zemlya. emrifftTTrrri 1 L m TfTTTT3 m Race Trctt PORTLAND (AP) The future of Portland Mradews race track is in deubt, its life threatened by Oregen's state betting tax, David K. Funk told the Oregon Racing Commission Friday. Funk, the principal stockholder in the Meadows, a horse track located in North Portland, said the operation lost $100,000 this season and has not paid stock dividends in 15 years. An effort by track operators to get a tax reduction on pari- mutuel betting failed in the last legislature. Funk said that might have been the death blow. In a statement presented to the commission Funk suggested that if Gov. Mark O. Hatfield should call a special session to set a spring vote on daylight saving time such a session has been proposed that it also take up the problem of how much to tax pari mutuel betting. Failing that, he said, the out look was for one of these things: No racing season in 1962 or lim ited racing of perhaps two days a week during the time dog racing is held at nights on the dog track east of Portland. They now have separate dates. The third possibil ity, he said, is breakup of the 212-acre (rant intoindustnal sites. The Multnomah County Fau nas shown some interest in a deal for the Meadows as a new fair grounds site, but Funk said there has been no offer that he could recommend to the stockholders Funk said Seattle gets the best horses because it pays bigger purses. It can afford to do that, he said, because the Washington tax is less burdensome. Oregon charges 5 per cent of the gross wagers, increasing to 7 per cent as the total goes up. He said greyhound track inter ests lobbied against the horse track efforts in the legislature to get the tax cut to 3 per cent. And he warned that county fairs, which get shares of the state's revenue from racing taxes, would lose money as a result. Youth Held In Murder WHEATON, 111. (AP)-A mur der indictment but not the death penalty will be sought by the state against Steven Schloneger, 13, the freckled, curly-haired boy who has admitted the sex slaying of his young neighbor, Yvonne Elliott, 7. State's Atty. William J. Bauer said Friday that Schloneger will be arraigned in Circuit Court Monday on a charge of murder. Bauer said he will present the case to the grand jury when it convenes later this month. 'We are dealing with a 13-year- old boy," said Bauer, in announc ing that he will make no effort to obtain the death penalty. "Steven is cither a vicious criminal or a very sick kid," Bauer said. "In any case, he is not fit to be a member of society at this time." The Schloneger boy is being held In Du Page County Jail, tem porarily charged with dclin quency. Officials Friday transcribed the boy's account of how Yvonne was slain Wednesday night while on an errand for her father in near by Elmhurst, a wester suburb of Chicago. "I just did it for a thrill. I heard you could get a thrill from it." the boy was quoted by Her bert Merles, chief deputy sheriff. Merles said that young Schlone ger admitted he had lured the girl into a vacant lot, stripped her and bound her, then pushed her face in a puddle when she cried out against being sexually mo lestcd.

Palmerton talked to the Klam ath Falls Rotary Club Friday, re porting on his visits to the district governors assembly at Lake Plac id, N.Y., and to the meeting of Rotary International in Tokyo.

Mrs. O'Leary, a kindly widow who occasionally took in boarders, had gone to the barn for evening milking chores. When the bovine, whose name is lost to antiquity, kicked over the oil lamp, the dry straw on the bam floor went up like tissue paper in a hurricane. The fire didn't seem particu larly threatening or uncontrolla ble. But it was. Thirty hours later, 2,100 acres of Chicago were a blackened, smol dering waste. Over 200 persons had perished before the creeping wall of flame was stopped, 100,- 000 were homeless and 17,500 buildings were in ruins. Knight Mum Over Nixon LOS ANGELES (UPI (-Former Gov. Goodwin J. Knight regards as pretty much of a closed issue his verbal contest with former Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Knight indicated Friday he was ready to start preparing his 1962 organization for the gubernatorial primary in which he will oppose Nixon. The former governor said he felt a contest would stimulate the Republican party in California despite whatever qualms GOP leaders now have. r "Republicans in the past usual ly have run in the primary with out opposition," Knight said, "just as Nixon has in the state. Earl Warren was unopposed, and so was I the one time I ran lor governor. Some Republicans are inclined to shun the primary in stead of regarding it as part of our democratic procedure." Earlier, Knight claimed Nixon had an emissary offer him any job in the state not to run for governor. Nixon and the asserted emissary denied Knight's charge. Knight declined to comment on Nixon party claim it was the former governor who first tried to get Nixon out of the contest by offering to head Nixon's dele gation in the 1964 national con vention for president. He said he also regarded this issue closed. Prison Finds Small Arsenal SAN QUENTIN (UPI)-A small arsenal of weapons has been dis covered in the lower yard of San Quentin prison. Prison officials said Friday that the arsenal included honed table knives, hatchets, lengths of pipe several feet long, and 24 shille-laugh-type bats made from table and desk legs. The weapons were found in various parts of the yard. The discovery followed a brawl in the lower yard last week, in which a prisoner was killed by multiple blows on the head. Associate warden Dale Frady said he thought the weapons were not hidden for a break, but rather in case of another free-for-all. Frady said a certain amount of tension exists at the prison. He pointed out that San Quentin, with a rated capacity of 2.700 inmates, is currently holding 4.844. He said a "Molotov cocktail" was hurled into a cell earlier this week, burning the lone occupant on the arm. .
