Senate action was awaited toda,
on demands for enlargement o
the national civil defense program
in the wake of warnings that t.
withhold funds might prove an in
: vitation to a great tragedy"
A small bipartisan group of Sen
ators yesterday rebelled agains
some of the deep slasheS the HouS'
made in requested supplemental
civil defense funds and even deep
er cuts recommended by the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee.
! The Senate was expected tx
meet the issues today and senC
the pending third supplemental
appropriation bill to conference
with the House.
Republican Senators Knowlane
of California and Saltonstall o.
Massachusetts, urged some liberal.
ization Of the pending bill in de.
bate late yesterday. Democratic
Senator Holland of Florida Joined
in some Of these moves.
Warning by Mcmahon.
The big push for speedy motiva-
ton of the whole civil defense pro-
gram, however, came from Chair
man Mcmahon of the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Atomic
Energy.
He took the Senate floor yester-
day to declare Russia is Stockpiling
atomic bombs ''in an ever increas-
ing number" and that she "has
the means of delivering these
weapons to targets within our
country"
Even with the best defenses. he
warned, much of an enemy bomber
attack would get through to Amer
lean targets. AS he put it:
I'VE shall be extremely lucky if
only 7 out of every 10 planes dis
patched by the Kremlin reach
their targets.
Sees Tragedy Courted.
Against this background then
with the indisputable knowledge
that the Kremlin has atomic
weapons and the ability to deliver
them in a grand-slam assault
upon Chicago or Seattle or De-
troit or New York or Washington
it is now proposed that we really
cut drastically our civil defense
appropriations.
Il find it difficult to imagine
any course better designed to
court a great tragedy"
He called civil defense money
"the cheapest kind of peace in
surance." He argued that the
grant of an effective amount of
funds enable the United States,
if attacked, to take punishment
and to strike back. Therefore. he
contended, such spending would
be insurance against war.
The Civil Defense Administra-
ton had asked for extra funds to-
Ealing $403 million, including
sums for training and research.
for stockpiling Of medical and
other defense supplies and for
Federal aid in provision of pro-
tective facilities and communica-
tons.
Cut to S84 Million.
This was cut by the House to
1886 million and the Senate APP
preparations Committee cut this
Town to $84 million. /
Senator Knowland yesterday

proposed only modest increases in
funds recommended by the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee. but
he protested there had been delay
in getting the civil defense pro-
gram moving"
No one knows, he warned, how
soon the need for an atomic bomb
shelter program might become
desperate. The delay in this pro-
gram, he said, is a risk that should
not be undertaken.
Senator Holland pleaded for ap-
prevail of SIS million in Federal

ing and administration be trans.
Iferred to more immediate needs.
Senate Minority Leader Wherry
Nebraska Republican, reminded
his colleagues that Civil Defense
Administrator Caldwell had esti-
mated that a full civil protection
program would call for an outlay
of some $500 billion.

A Warehouses Offered
u. ). Near District
AT $1,000, 900 Rental

A low bid of $1.08 square foot
annual rental for the construction
of million square feet of needed
Government warehouse space in
four buildings on single site
within Is miles of Washington was
offered the General Services Ad-
ministration yesterday by the
David Nassif Co.. with offices in
the Ring Building.
Only three bids were opened by
William A. Miller, GSA Region
director, but in contrast to the
number that swamped the office
on recent unsatisfactory ware
house proposals., the new bids had
no strings attached.
In calling for fresh bids, Mr.
Miller had said all proposals con-
tingent on Government financing
speedy tax amortization or other
Idisqualifying aspects would be
thrown into the Wastebasket. Thir-
ty-f1ve bids for construction of
SO warehouses had been offered
previously on those unacceptable
terms.
Early Action Expected.
The Nassif Company bid of
81 100000 was based on four
separate buildings of 25O.OOO
square feet each. as called for.
The location was merely given
as approximately Is miles from
the Zero Milestone in Washing
ton" Mr.. Miller said the techni-
cality was used to guard against
land price increases.
The Government is so anxious
to get warehouses outside Wash
ington that it is expected the bids
will be passed on in one or two
weeks. The new warehouses would
free scarce office space in Wash
ington now housing records and
supplies. Also, Mr.. Miller said, the
Government may lease for one
year only in Washington but may
sign a f1ve-year lease outside the
city. i
Other Buildings Offered.
The Nassif Company bid, also
called for two additional optional
buildings on the same site, if re-
quired. in accordance with in
lstruction. Each would contain
250,000 square feet to be leased
at $250,000 each.
One bidder from San Fran
cisco, whose bid never reached
the office in time, probably is
"out of luck" it was said. How
ever, it may be considered, if the
Post Office Department reports
undue delay in delivery. The air.
plane by which the bid was sent
was delayed in flight.
