holders to build their own
shelters.
The women's meetings end
ing today mark the start Of
the drive. The 200 women
chiefly organization heads
are said by OCDM to repre-
sent rs million women in the
country.
1t is OCDM's fond hope
that its do-it-yourself shell
ter pitch, plus much other
vital information, will be
rapidly chaneled out to the
women Of the nation.
Every progressive commu-
nifty knows the power Of
women" Mr.. Hough told the
delegates yesterday. Rally
ing together in common
cause, they have brought us
better schools, parks, roads,
recreation facilities, a better
way Of life for all concerned"
Civil Defense, likewise, must
rely on the power of women.
You are this country's
greatest force accomplishing
good"
FaIl0ut Protection Only
The basement shelters be-
ing pushed by OCDM protect
against fallout only. Blast
protection shelters, while
considered desirable, are not
recommended because Of their
high cost.
The cheapest, simplest
basement shelter described by
OCDM consists Of an ar
rangement of a cover of
cement blocks, or sandbags
ON a sturdy table, preferably
placed in a corner of the
room. where protection is
greater than at the center.
This makeshift arrangement
which OCDM suggest
might appeal to renters.
rather than owners, of
houses-is estimated to cost
$40 to $50. Such a shelter
would give a person 80 times
more protection from radia-
ton than he would have
standing outside the house.
One spokesman admitted
ruefully, however, that this
shelter would be somewhat
impractical" for an entire
family to live in for two
weeks.
A more sophisticated"
shelter, the materials for
which would cost $3.50 to
$3.50, calls for a complete box,
of ceiling height with 8-inch
concrete walls, using the
existing walls Of the base
ment on two sides. A person
in such a box would be 300
times safer than standing
outside.
Such a box with thicker
walls. costing about $1,000,
would provide protection
sufficient to reduce the dose to
almost insignificant amounts,
even in areas subjected to the
highest fall-out levels that
might occur" Geralds R. Gal
lagher, Assistant Administra-
tor of OCDM Research and
Development. said.
Whatever type Of shelter is
decided upon, OCDM has a
long list of essential supplies
with which it suggests the
shelter be stocked.
Recommended Supplies
These include canned food
and beverages. bottled water,
a battery-operated radio for
Conrelrad instructions, can
dies. matches and flashlight,

legations that a White House

and other regulatory agencies.
Amicable Session
After nearly a week of tur-
bulance. the subcommittee put
on a display of amity yester-
day. DR.. Schwartz was almost
docile, contrasted to his re-
belliousness in recent days
when he charged the panel
with trying to "whitewash"
his allegations Of corruption.
Chairman Harris, who has
been DR.. Schwartz's main an
tagonist,, commended the ex-
counsel for cooperating.
Former Chairman Moulder,
Democrat of Missouri, said yes

Schwartz to calm down"
Most Of the four-hour hear

subcommittee files that have
been wandering all over town.
DR.. Schwartz deposited a suit

Accuses Mr.. Mack
DR.. Schwartz testified that
Mr.. Mack acknowledged re-

claimed the money represented

of these loans were forgiven"
DR.. Schwartz said, adding that
the commissioner claimed he
repaid some of the loans in
cash without getting receipts.

A splendid opening for some
body with an orderly mind and
strong legs is developing with
the Legislative Oversight Sub
committee.
It is the job of file clerk.
Ordinarily this is not too heady
an employment prospect, but

opened up. consulted, packed
up and returned. The Legisla-
tive Oversight files have a life
of their own. They travel to
senatorial apartments, by the
dark of the moon, they stay
out all night and come trickling
back days later. Some of them
are in a cardboard box. some of
them are in a big suitcase, some
of them are in the safe deposit
box of the pretty, distraught
wife of the ex-chief counsel.
Mrs. Bernard Schwartz. Some
Of them still may be missing.
Challenging Task
Obviously, a knowledge of
the alphabet would not be
enough to keep these files in
hand. No greater challenge in
the cataloguing field has arisen
since somebody stumbled over
Boswell's diaries in a set of
croquet boxes.
To begin with, all members
Of the committee agreed yes
terday that the removed mate
rial should be segregated from
the unremoved material, a job
that may give the Dewey Deci-
NAL System the most severe
strain since it's inception.
Any applicant not faxed by
this hazard probably would
want to know about job Sc
curity. The record Of the Legis-
lative Oversight Committee staff
is not dazzling in this respect.
The chief counsel, hired in
August, was ousted on Tues
day, and two attorneys re-
signed in protest. But by way
of compensation, the subcom-

DR.. Schwartz Returns
Take the case of DR..
Schwartz. the brooding little
self-styled egghead, who sig
nally failed to please his con-
gressional masters in his oriei-
nal role. They didn' even like
the way he sat In his chair. He
was fired amid mutual recrimi-
nations and shrill cries on his
part of II accuse"
But DR.. Schwartz got q sec
ond chance. He reappeared
yesterday as a witness, and he
made a smash hit, comparable
to the comeback Of Maria CAL
las after the Roman flasco. It
was a change for him. Of course.
to be talking to committee
members instead Of the press,
but everybody agreed he made
the readjustment beautifully.
After he had recounted what
he knew about FEC Commits
sioner Richard A. Mack in the
Miami Channel 10 television
case, he was practically pelted
with valentines from his for
mer critics. They parted from
him most reluctantly and let
him go only on the promise
that he would give them an
encore on Monday.
Wachtell Impresses, Too
1t was the same with Herbert
Wachtell, ex-staff attorney. He
made an impressive return en-
gagement. He has been re-
tanned as the chief counsel of
the ex-chief counsel, and is
obviously happy in his work.
He poured a continuous stream
of advice into his new clients
ear. and he frequently told his
former employers - with an
afterthought of most respect
fully"-that they we're of the
track.
Other cast changes have
been made. Representative
Moulder. formerly the chair
man. is breathing easier as a
committee member. And Rep
resentative Harris. Democrat
Of Arkansas, the new chair
man, dulcetly told DR.. Schwartz
he had no intention of en-
barrassing him, which has not
always been the case.
So the would-be file clerk
should not fear he would be
typed in his role. There is
literally no telling where the
Job would lead.

New York Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey and Col. Gordon Moore,
husband of Mrs. Eisenhower's
sister.
Mr.. Moulder later acknowl-
edged leaking to q reporter q
memo on the Dewey case pre-
pared by DR.. Schwartz. Accord
ing to the memo. Mr.. Dewey
refused to open his records on
allegations that his firm re-
ceived a $150.O0O fee from
Eastern Airlines for ''non-legal
services" The fee purportedly
was paid for help in pushing
Eastern's application for q
route to Mexico City. which
that airline won over Pan
American World Always.
DR.. Schwartz's memo made
no charge that there was any
thing amiss in the transaction,
and suggested further investi-
CATION before airing the case.
Denies Firm Retained
In New York a spokesman
for Mr.. Dewey's law firm
Dewey. Ballantine, Bushby,
Palmer & Wood-said that
while it was entirely proper
tor it to represent Eastern or
any other airline. ''it is a mat
ter of public record that this
firm was not retained by East
ern Airlines to appear before
the CAB and did not do So"
The spokesman said the
firms two-year contract as
headquarters counsel" for
Eastern ended January 81, 1856
seven months before the
CAB approved Eastern's appli-
cation for the route in ques-
ton. He said Mr.. Dewey's law
firm did no work in connection
with that route. and that it
never performed any mon
legal services" for Eastern.
In reference to allegations of
pressure on the Civil Aeronau-
tics Board by Mr.. Adams, Mr..
Harris told reporters the CAB
had promised to open almost
all its records to the subcom-
mittee-including correspond
ence with the White House.
Chairman Harris, declaring
he resented insinuations that
he wanted to squelch DR..
Schwartz's charges. opened the
hearings with a promise to dig
deep. He moved the hearing to
the spacious Ways and Means
Committee room, but the crowd
of spectators and reporters still
overfowed into the aisles.
Shows Cancelled Checks
Testifying under oath, DR..
Schwartz produced Cancelled
checks from Mr.. Whiteside to
Commissioner Mack, obtained
by subpoena from Mr.. White
side. The ex-counsel said the
$3.50 was paid while Mr.. Mack
was on the FCC-with $2,050
of the total paid while the
Miami channel 10 case was
pending.
He produced in addition, a
$1,000 check dated in March,
1855, to show that Mr.. White
side also paid money to Mr..
Mack before the latter's APP
pointment by President Eisen-
hover to the FEC in 1855. Mr..
Mack is a Democrat.
DR.. Schwartz testified that
Mr.. Mack pledged" his FEC
vote to Mr.. Whiteside for Ma
tional AirlineS. He said Senator
Smathers, Democrat of Florida,
reported the pledge" to Col.
A. Frank Katzentine, who lost
the fight for channel 10 de-
spite the hearing examiners
recommendation in his favor.
Col. Katzentine asked Per-
rine Palmer. jr., and Jerry w.
Carter of Florida to intervene,
according to an affidavit by the
colonel, but Mr.. Whiteside re-
fused to release Mr.. Mack from
his pledge.

Indignation
Speed Hailed

Washington avoided the
problems faced by the South
today by desegregating its
schools promptly with agrees
siveness." Walter N. Tobriner.
president Of the Board Of Edu-
cation. said yesterday.
In a talk outlining the his
tory of school degeneration
here. Mr.. Tobriner told the
Washington Ethical Society
that the District might be fac
ing these problems II it had
followed gradual approach in
1854.
He said there would have
been heated arguments with
each step and discord in the
community. AS 1t was. he sug-
gested, Opposition didn't have
time to develop"
The desegregation disclosed
a major problem, he said, in
a very disheartening and al
most appalling disparity be-
tween the white and Negro
achievement levels. He made
the point that the difference
referred to achievement and
not to potential"
He said that the school sys-
tenn must work in the years
ahead to bring up the scholar
ship levels by concentrating on
those denied a good educa-
ton" under segregation.
The meeting was held at the

National Theuter
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Members Of the senior class
of the Big Stone Gap High
School from Virginia's noun
famous western panhandle
were given a guided tour
through the National Theater
Saturday night.
There were % of them, 81
girls and seven boys, plus
three teachers. They had
left Big Stone Gap, which is
a community of 5000 in Wise
County, at 10 O'Clock the
night before on a chartered
bus.
Big Stone Gap is $50 miles
from Washington, about the
same distance as Cleveland,
Ohio. They had intended to
have breakfast in Charlottes-
vile, Va, but as they arrived
there at S am. they decided
to push on and they reached
here about 7::30.
They had spent the day
sightseeing. Smithsonian In
stitution, Washington Monu-
ment and Lincoln Memorial
were the first stops on their
list. In the afternoon some
of the pupils had gone to
their quarters in the motel
at the entrance to Hams
Point for a nap.
But the teachers continued
with the stalwarts among
their charges to the tour of
the National at 6 o'clock,
which was to be followed by
dinner and attendance at
the show, mo Time for Ser
geants."
The three teachers looked
fresher than their pupils.
Some Of the girls were a little
sleepy, but they all looked
surprisingly good after such
a strenuous experience.
