GSA Maps Code
For Protection
Against Atom
$50 Million Servings
Effected by Agency,
Annual Report Says

General Services Administra-
ton disclosed today that it is
working to protect Government
employees in case Of an atomic
attack.
A code which it has prepared
is to be made the basis for stand
ards to be issued by other Gov
eminent agencies for the protec-
ton of civilians and their prop
erty.
The agency, which carries on
Housekeeping" functions for the
Federal Government, disclosed its
protection work in its annual re-
port to Congress.
Jess Larson. GSA administrator,
also reported that the agency had
brought about economies amount
ing to $50 million.
Saber Windows Designed.
Discussing the protection work.
Mr.. Larson said:
I'm cooperation with the
Atomic Energy Commission and
the Department of Defense, re-
search work was undertaken to
determine the resistance of stand
ard glazing and window construc-
ton materials to atomic blasts.
From the data obtained in this
research, designs are being pre-
pared for windows that will have
greater resistance to such forces
and reduce the hazard OF flying
glass.
Similar Investigations are being
planned to determine the resist
ance of existing Office buildings
and hospitals and from the data
obtained standards for more re-
sistive construction are to be pre-
pared"
More than 1922 million of the
$50 million in economies in fiscal
1851, Mr.. Larson said, were &C.
counted for by the Federal Supply
Service of GSA. The largest part
of this, he said, came from lower
prices due to consolidated buying
for Government agencies. Mr..
Larson estimated the money saved
in this way at $26 million, or
about 8 per cent on total pur-
chases of $500 million.
Property Transfer Savings.
Another supply service economy
was credited with saving $13 mil
lion. This was from the use Of
property transferred from agen-
cies which no longer needed it to
agencies for which new equipment
or supplies might otherwise have
been purchased.
Another source OF savings was
given as the establishment OF
standard specifications for prod
ucts used by the Government and
inspection before acceptance.
The Public Building Service, the
report said, made economies worth
1868 million in improved man
agement and use of Government
real estate. The National Ar
chives and Records Service was
credited with a SIS million saw
ing, the largest part coming from
elimination of useless records,
thus saving storage space, and
provision for safe low-cost Stor-
age of valuable records.
