blocks that could accommodate

ers indicated they would be
willing to set aside land for
such installations, but doubted
that a feasible plan could be
worked out for the financing
of such an expensive struc-
ture.
Owns Shelter
Edward Jacobsen, spokes-
man for American Survival
Products Co., in the PennSyl-
vania building, said he has
a plastic shelter buried in the
yard of his hcne. He said
his firm has built eight such
devices in this area.
Classified technically as a
fallout shelter, Mr.. Jacobsen
told the NAHB his dugout
meets OCDM requirements as
a blast shelter" He said
phone inquiries to his office
have tripled since President
Kennedy's speech on the
Berlin crisis and the resump-
ton of Russian nuclear bomb
testing.
C. D. Price, an expert for
the Mosler Safe Co., has made
an exhaustive study of the
subject. He points out that
there is considerable confu-
sion in the public's mind
about the difference between
blast and fallout shelters.
Blast shelters are designed
to protect occupants from a
near miss" by a nuclear
bomb. This type of shelter is
too costly for the general
public and would be effective
if the near miss" was six
miles away in the case of a
20 megaton bomb.
FoIlout Donger
Most danger. Mr.. Price
said, will probably come from
nuclear fallout. A shelter
against this type of injury
can be built either under
ground or in any basement.
According to the experts it
represents the largest saving
of life and injury per dollar
spent.
A full size fallout shelter
will be built at the National
Housing Center, 1925 L street

More Evidence Piling Up
Against Adolf Eichmann
By Relman NORM

JERUSALEM up : Joseph P.
Kennedy, father of President
Kennedy reported in 1888 that the
outlook for the Jews in Germany
was very bad" evidence intro
duced Thursday in the trial of
Adolf Eichmann showed.
Kennedy was the American
Ambassador to Great Britain at
the time. Kennedy cabled to the
State Department on Dec. 3, 1888.
Asst. Atty. Gen. Ya'akov Bar'or
told the judges it was obtained
from the National Archives in
Alexandria, Va.
Kennedy relayed a report, re-
ceived from the French Foreign
Office, of a conversation between
Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim
Won Ribbentrop and French Am
bassador Henri Bonnet.
"The results were very bad,"
Kennedy cabled Washington.
Kennedy's message also refer
red to financial arrangements"
and "our plans with the British"
Bar'or said Kennedy's cable was
about "the refugees from Ger
many, ways of helping them and
easing their situation"
The Kennedy report was one of
several dozen entered in the rec
ord Thursday by Bar'or.
He produced documents, photo
stats, quotations from speeches
and copies of letters. They all
served to fill in the picture of the
situation of Jews in Germany
on the eve of World War II, and
the measures taken by Nazis to
force them to leave Germany
penniless.
Many of the documents, Bar'or
told the court, were microfilmed
from originals of the Nazi papers
now kept in the Archives at Alex
andria, Va.
