Bombproof Shelters
Planned for STORAGE
OF Valuable Records
Survey Being Made
To Determine Space
Needed by Agencies

Government agencies here have
been asked how much space they
would need in bombproof shelters
for the storage of valuable records
and are to have the information in
the hands of the Public Buildings
Administration tomorrow.
The survey was conducted under
instructions from President Roose-
velt by subcommittee of the Com
mittee on the Cultivation of Cul-
tural Resources of the National Re-
sources Planning Board, headed by
Archibald MacLeish, librarian OF
Congress, preliminary to a request
to Congress for funds to provide
facilities for the protection against
possible AFRAID damage of ma
terials of cultural, scientific and
historic importance.
The subcommittee contemplates
that material which an agency must
have continuously in its possession
should be protected at the scene
of operations so far as is possible;
such material as is used only from
time to time is proposed to be moved
outside the city. AS to the latter
the agencies were told:
Materials of the very highest
historic. cultural or scientific value
should be given the highest degree
of protection-i.e.-protection in
specially constructed bombproof
shelters. Materials of considerable
or secondary value should be given
as much protection as possible in
shelters less expensive than bomb
proof construction. Such materials
could be removed to f1reproof build
ings constructed outside of the city
In locations where danger of air.
raid damage would be slight, or
could be stored in existing buildings
having these characteristics. Other
materials not essential to an agency
In the performance of its functions,
and not having primary or second
airy historic, cultural or scientific
Importance should be stored in the
buildings of the agency in Wash
ington"
Attention was drawn to the fact
that storage in bombproof shelters
Is extremely expensive and space in
these shelters must therefore be re-
duced to the lowest possible point
consistent with adequate protection
of materials of the highest value"

Police May Get
You IF You Fail
To Get Sucker
All Car Owners Must Have
Them Before Dec. Is,
Elgin Says

Commissioner of Motor Vehicles "
Lee Elgin has announced that city
county and State police had been en-
powered to issue summons to auto
mobile owners who fail to have then
cars safety-inspected before Deem
Der Is.
He stated that the summons would
constitute orders to have cars inspect
ed at once and to make any necessary
repairs in faulty equipment. After re-
ceiving their stickers, motorists would
then have to report back to the police
that they had complied with the in
spection law.
Need Stickers For Plates
"If they fail to heed this warning,
Elgin declared, "they can be brought
to this office for hearing. Motorists
also cannot obtain new license plates
before complying with this law.
"The motor vehicle inspection law
was enacted as a safety measure, ana
the public should cooperate to the
fullest extent"
Noting that the Maryland Traffic
Safety Commission had recommended
every effort be made to thoroughly
check all cars and trucks in service,
Elgin asserted, with the constant
increase in highway fatalities, there is
no question in my mind but what a
proportion of accidents could be re-
duced as faulty equipment was elm
mated"
1900 Certified Stations
To obtain their safety stickers,
motorists must undergo an inspection
at any one of some 1900 certified sta
tions of brakes, lights, horn, wind
shield wiper, windshield glass, king
bolts and steering equipment.
The annual inspection, which started
November l, ends December Is. Elgin
repeatedly has warned motorists to
obtain their stickers as soon as pos
sible to avoid last minute jam.

state of affairs. The publicity army
alone is sufficient to account for the
almost incredible confusion in which
every administrative agency here
blindly 'gropes. 1t breeds waste, ineffi-
cheney, fakery, impotency, overlap
ping, bewilderment-and, above all
inaccuracy. Unless somehow, some
way, he does something to straighten
out this situation, Mr.. MacLeish's eff

formation are apt to be swallowed up
in the enormous flood of inaccurate in.

they have! What a job they have! 1t is
not going to be enough-even if they
could do ito catch and correct the
enormous amount of misleading and
inaccurate information that daily

To achieve that, they must go to the

that their conception of the job is all
wrong. They have been proceeding oil
the theory quite naturally, be-
cause of the high governmental eX-
amples-that they must magnify ev-
erything favorable to the Administra-
ton and minimize, ignore or denounce
everything unfavorable That is the
basic idea upon which they operate.
1t is the only idea they have. 1t does
not, of course, make for accuracy; i
makes for inaccuracy. 1t does not in
form the people; it misinforms them.
Perhaps the President did not really
mean accuracy when he used that
word, because he himself rather tends
to ignore the unfavorable facts and
stress only those that please him. But
if he did not mean it, then he made a
mistake in naming Mr.. MacLeish. For
Mr.. MacLeish is not only instinctiveiy
a truthful man but he is much too in
telligent to think that untruthfulness
ever pays. He will assume that the
President did mean it-and while he
may have slight success in injecting
accuracy into Administrator public
ity, he certainly will try.
