UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Dec. IA (AP) Representative
of the big Western powers con-
suited with acting Secretary
General U Thant today on the
fighting in Katanga. There was
no indication Mr.. Thant would
heed a British demand that
he seek an immediate cease
fire.
In what appeared to be an out
ward show of unanimity,
United States Chief Delegate
Adlai E. Stevenson and British
Ambassador Sir Patrick Dean
called jointly on Mr.. Thant.
British and United States
sources declined comment other
than to say they talked with
Mr.. Thant about the Congo.
There was on hint that the
United States had changed its
stand opposing a cease fire
until immediate United Nations
objectives are achieved in Ka-
tanga.
Later French Ambassador Ar
mand Berard also paid a call
on Mr.. Thant.
Mr.. Thant will put Britain's
cease fire request to his Congo
Advisory Committee tomorrow,
but it is expected to be rejected
in view of wide support for the
immediate U. N. objectives in
Katanga.

SoIinger Meets Pair
In Press Corps Rift

The longstanding controversy
was brought to President Ken
nedy's attention at his news
conference on November 29
when a woman reporter asked
if the President, members OF
the cabinet and other United
States officials should decline
to speak and participate in
functions where women news
paper reporters are barred.
The Press Club bars women
reporters but has permitted
them. on application, to sit in
the balcony and report on
speakers. Representatives OF the
Womens' National Press Club
and others have argued that
women reporters have not been
accorded equal privileges.
Neither Mr.. Cosgrove or Miss
Angelo would discuss what they
talked about with Mr.. Salinger
at the meeting held in the Press
Secretary's office.
There have been reports that
without attempting to become
involved in the controversy as
such or interfere in the opera
tions of the Press Club, the
White House was interested in
seeing some arrangements
worked out that would assure
women reporters equal treat

No one knew at the time
whether the mural, a fresco
done on freshly spread wet

in finding out.
Some Moved Successfully
Mario E. Campbell, assistant
Capitol architect, found in. a
trip to Europe in 1852 that
frescoes in buildings damaged
during the war were being
moved, after having been re-
inforced from behind.
He obtained a $4,000 appro-
priation through the late
Speaker Sam Rayburn to try to
remove the mural, 9 by IL
feet and 2 inches thick, from
the wall in one piece of plaster
Henri G.. Courtais, a muralist
himself and restorer of paint
ingS, was brought from New
York to plan the job.
Mr.. Courtais said a double
wall of 1000 bricks had to be
removed carefully from out
side the House chamber to get
at the back Of the mural. The
plaster was thinned from the
back to one half inch in thick
ness, he said, and then rein
forced with plastic. burlap,

attack is very small, but it is
possible.
1T it comes, we know its
consequences would be terrible.
Therefore, we must take what
steps we can to protect our
selves through an organized
long range, sensible program
OF civil defense
1T is no panacea for pro-
lection from thermonuclear at
tack. In a major attack .on
this country, millions - and
probably tens of millionS-of
people would be killed. There
appears to be no practical pro-
gram that would avoid large
scale loss of life.
But an effective program of
civil defense could save the
lives of large numbers of peo-
pie who could not otherwise
survive, and could create a
basis for recovery after an at
tack"
What is needed, the state
ment added, is a warning sys-
tenn, fallout shelters and equip
ment and trained personnel for
decontamination, fire fighting,
rescue and reconstruction.
Booklet Prepared
A Pentagon booklet on fall
out shelters, under production
for several months, will be
available to the general public
early in January, Mr.. Gilpat-
ric said.
Already the Federal Govern
ment has started a search for
shelter space for so million
persons in existing buildings,
tunnels, Subways. etc. The new
community shelter program
would increase available spaces
to 10 million and home shelters
will be added to that total. In
addition, group shelters in fac
tories, shops. offices, apart
ment houses and other public
buildings would be built with
public advice and private funds
Several reasons were given
in the Pentagon statement for
preferring group shelters in
many circumstances:
81. A larger-than- family size
group is better prepared to face
a nuclear attack than a single
family, particularly if some
members are away from home
at the time of the attack.
-. There is more opportunity
to find first aid and other
emergency Skills in a group
and accumulated radiation ex-
posure from necessary short
trips out of the shelter after
the attack can be distributed
among more people.
Other Reasons Given
IS. Group shelters could pro-
vide shelter for persons away
from their homes at the time
of attack.
a. Group shelters can serve
as a focus for integrated COM
munity recovery activities in the
post attack period.
IS. Group shelters can serve
other community purposes, as
well as offer protection from
fallout.
' "On the other hand, family
shelters are Immediately acces-
: sible under conditions of short
: warning, their supplies can bt
l more easily rotated and adopted

: can be built and available be.
