TWO OUT OF SEVEN REPLY
TO POLITICAL QUERY

BY Mondays deadline only two answers were re-
ceived to letters sent by the Cooper
candidates for the Senate House of Repres
tatives up for nomination this Tuesday. Present
Senator George Radcliffe, and Howard Bruce, the
Democratic nominees for the Senate ex-governor
Harry W. Nice, and Will Broening, the Republican
Senatorial nominees. Democratic candidates for the
House of Representatives Lansdale sasscer,
rently holding the office, and John ". Kemm. The
lone Republi can ndidate for the House of Repre-
sentatives is John NJ Torvestad. The letters asked
the candidates to state their qualifications and
requested their stand various issues of interest
to Greenbelt.
After inquiring the candt dates age, education,
and experience, the letters posed the fol lowing
questions: Do you favor amending the Hatch Act to
permit participation in local government by Federal
employees? Do you think Greenbelt should be owned
and controlled by the Government by private bus
mess? Do you support the Dies Committee? Do you
favor larger appropri alton for the Food and Drug
Admin stration? Do you favor passage of Senator
Capper bill to permit the incorporation and regu
ation of cooperative enterprises in the District of
Columbia? Do you favor passage of the Miller
Tydngs Fair Trade bill? Do you favor passage of
the Mead Health Bill?
Mr.. Bruce stated that he thought the Hatch Act
should be modi led to permit Federal employees to
participate in local government, and thought the
Dies Committee was doing a con structive work, al
though he said ne was not always in sympathy with
their publicity methods. Mr.. Bruce said he not
in possession of enough information to give cate
gorical answers to the rest of the questions; nj
think that anyone who is expecting to go to the
United States Senate would withhold hi judgment
these specific bills until he had the benefit of
hearings before committees and knew what he
talking aboutI"
Mr.. Nem, who followed the form closely,
gave his age as 81, and cited Id S education and

AIR RAID SHELTERS STUDIED
4 COMMENTARY on the times is the am

A COMMENTARY on the times is the announce
ment that United States Housing Authority
engineers are studying demonstration air raid
shelters with view to possible inclusion in low
rent housing projects.
USHA engineers have discarded the suggestion
of reinforced floors above cellars because such
construction in Europe has been Ineffective. They
now are studying two types of "pill boxes" built
by New York company for testing by the Natl
onal Bureau of Standards. One type is obong
with parabolic cross section tapering towards
the top. The other is dome-shaped. The latter
should give more protection from gunfre and
bomb fragments, USHA engineers say, but no
"pill box" far devised provides much protection
from direct hit by bomb.
The idea of reinforcing the floor above the
cellar was dropped after consultation with Michael
Rosenauer, noted British architect, who is visit
ing USHA projects. ROsenaurer studied air raid
shelter in Spain, France and England. In Spain,
he says, debris OF buildings demolished by bombs
frequently blocked entrances to bomb-proof cellar
and occupants often were suffocated before they
could be removed.
