Defense against A.B0ml
Build As Far As
Possible From
Strategic Areas

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--tR.-
The government issued a report
today-a report which gives
some of the grimmer facts about
preparing defenses against atom
bombs.
The report is called, Damage
From Atomic Explosion and De-
sign of Protective Structures" It
is based ON studies made largely
in Hiroshima. the first city ever
to feel the terrible effect of an
atomic explosion.
The report gives this advice to
those who are worried about
putting up new buildings. Ii says,
Build them as far as possib e
from strategic areas. Either ma,
or put them underground"
The report also calls for dis
persal of potential war plants II

tries might have to bury them

NO COMPLETE DEFENSE
FROM "A" OR H" BOMBS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-tPl.-
One of the nations top scientists
was quoted as saying today that
there is not any complete defense
against atomic or hydrogen
bombs.
According to Senator Willard
Tydings Of Maryland, DR.. Vanne-
var Bush made that statement
while testifying at a closed door
session of the Senate Armed Ser
vices Committee. Bush, who HAD
key part in development of
World War II weapons, testified
for more than an hour.
Tydings, who is chairman Ct
the group, said DR.. Bush gave the
senators a brief but concise &C
count of modern warfare ana
what has been done and is being
done.
Reporters asked Senator Tyd-
ings if atomic or hydrogen bombs
came into the secret conference
Only in a general way" said
Tydings.
Tydings said DR.. Bush was
asked what should be done that
is not being done for defense. Ac-
cording to Tydings, Bush replied:
More research and develop
ment."
Bush testified after severed
lawmakers had expressed cor
Germ over President Truman's
delay in naming a new Atomic
Energy Commission Chairman to
succeed David Lilienthal. Lilier-
thai resigned last December-ef-
fective February 18th. Thus far
the President has not recon-
mended a successor, and sorne
lawmakers are concerned over
any possible showdown the de-
lay might cause in the nations
atomic program.
