Civil Defense
Asks Millions

The Federal Civil Defense Ad-
Iministration is working up a
plan for a huge shelter building
program which it hopes the adj
ministration will adopt and pre-
sent to Congress.
The present Civil Defense aim
is to seek an initial appropria-
ton of 5000 million. The cost
of the program would ultimately
run into many billions.
Three times-in 1850, 1851
and l953-President Truman
asked Congress to appropriate
$3.50 million for the start of d
shelter program. Congress did
not comply. But, it is pointed
out now, that period was before
the proving of the hydrogen
bomb and the threat of guided
missiles.
Civil defense officials stress
that this does not mean the
abandonment of evacuation plans
such as have been worked out in
the District. But they point out
that successful evacuation pre-
suppoSes sufficient warning time
to get people out of a threat
ened area. There would be little
or no warning time in the case
of an attack by guided missiles.
The greatest value of shelters
would be as protection against
fallout. They would be of no
value at the target point where
Ia 20-megaton bomb would leave
"a crater ITS feet deep and one
and third miles across. Twenty
megatons equals 20 million tons
of TINT.
The proposed legislation would
ask Congress to change the pres
ent provision that any Federal
funds for shelters be matched
equally by the States. Some ver-
sions of the pending proposals
provide for grants in addition
to Federal contributions of more
than so per cent.
Various bills have been drafted
for study since President Eli
Senhower directed Civil De-
tense Administrator Val Pc
terson to submit recommended
lions to strengthen civil defense.

The last word, directly from

not over the island.|
Mr.. Davis said advocates of
both plans would be heard, but
that no witness timetable was

That's fortunate. since the only
list of witnesses now in the COM

ficlals who were called when it
appeared that the hearing would
be restricted to the bridge bill.
Presumably, therefore. the
hearing will start off with the
bridge question and lead into the

Mr.. Ehrmantraut says that
these consist of two parts. The
first is a comprehensive read

an ordinary 10 test. The second

On the basis of all their ex-

test. AS to the reading test:
That's the kind of thing that
kids fresh out of college and high
school can master. but it has to
do with things you've forgotten
