The Civil Service Commits
sion is preparing an unfavor-
able report to Congress on
legislation that would encour-
age part-time Government en-
ployment for retired Federal
VOTERS.
CHI bills were introduced
IS year and the House and
Senate Civil Service Commit
tees have asked the csc for
its views.
The csc feels that such
legislation is contrary TO the
intent of the retirement sys-
TEN, would reduce promotional
opportunities for younger en-
ployes in Government and
would generally hamper the
effectiveness of Government
operations.
One such bill is sponsored
by Senator Javits, Republican
of New York. 1t would permit
retired employees to work on
a less than half-time basis
for the Government. with no
reduction in their annuity. In
other words, they would receive
4 salary plus their annuity.
The csc is also opposed to
the plan advocated by Health
Education and Welfare which
would permit employees to re-
tire gradually. meanwhile get
ting a combination Of salary
and annuity with the total
pay not to exceed 80 per cent
Of salary they received as full
time employees.
Under present law, retired
employees may return to Gov
ernment but most OF their an
nuity is deducted from their
salary during their re-employ-
ment. This tends in most cases
to discourage annuitants from,
returning to Government en-
ployment.

Libby Findings
Challenged by
8 Physicists

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Nov. %
(AP).-Dr. James Van Allen
and seven other University of
Iowa physicists take issue with
DR.. Willard Libby's nationally
.syndicated series of articles on
how to survive atomic attack.
They call it extremely dan
gerous."
DR.. Van Allen, who detected
the radiation belts circling
the earth through satellite
studies, heads the Iowa physics
department.
The Iowa physicists, in a
letter to the editor of the Iowa
City Press>Citizen. said of the
series by DR.. Libby, a Nobel
Prize chemist:
1T is extremely dangerous
to give the impression to the
public that the building of
fsllout shelters will enable the
average citizen to survive a
nuclear war.
This gives a false sense of
security. The perceentagewise
small margin Of safety gained
in no way detracts from the
very real possibility that an
atomic war will mean the end
of the civilizations of both op-
ponents."
DR.. Libby, asked by the As
sociated Press by telephone for
his comments. replied:
Il agree that anybody who
interpreted my article as say
ing that fallout shelters make
atomic war tolerable should be
outraged.
Il did not intend to say any
thing like that. What I intend
ed to say was that fallout
shelters greatly increase the
chance Of survival for those
who were not hit directly by
blast or thermal burns.
That is my message"
The Iowa group particularly
criticized DR.. Libby's estimate
that 80 to 95 per cent of United
States residents could survive
an atomic attack with proper
protection.
They said other estimates
are much lower than DR.. Lib
by's. and added that survival
figures obviously depend on
the length of a future war, the
number. size and distribution
of bombs actually dropped. and
many unforeseeable circum-
stances"
The Iowa physicists said DR..
Libby estimated that 10
megaton bomb would flatten
buildings 8 to 10 miles away,
but said he did not add that
fires from such a bomb would
be started so miles away, and
that a 20-megaton bomb might
cause 100 per cent casualties
about 25 miles away. Basement
shelters. they added, offer little
protection against such fires.
DR.. Libby replied:
To estimate how many may
be saved by shelters means
having to estimate what the
attack is. I chose to estimate
a particular kind of attack
which is considered most prob
able. But one could make an
attack with no fallout at all,
which was the case in the
japanese bombings. or an at
tack where all casualties we're
due to fallout and there was
no blast damage at all.
"All kinds of extremes can be
imagined, between no casualties
due to fallout, to all casualties
due to fallout.
1T is a matter of judge
ment as to what the most
probable pattern will be. My
message is: 1t is we'll to have
insurance against fallout be-
cause it is a great potential
killer in case Of nuclear war.
Or. Libby's series did state
a 20-megaton bomb might
cause second degree burns at
distances up to Is miles if
persons were not protected, and
one article dealt with the seri-
GUS problem of firestorms.)

Washing Essential

The busted person must wash

Of his body which has been sx-

should keep washing until the
tradition meter registers no ra-
diation coming from his body
or his hair.
Washing fallout out Of hair
especially women's hair, can be
difficult. The person caught in
fallout would be wise to cover
his or her hair with a hat, with
any kind of covering which can
be tossed away when he reaches
shelter.
Water used to wash off fall
out should be thrown out of the
shelter.
Let me repeat: The radiation

others once he removes the

The radiation he has already

not make him radioactive so
he can pass on radiation like
an infectious disease. This is
3 vital point to remember.
: Have him remove contami-

clothing out while he's at the
very entrance to the open-door
shelter.
There will be fallout on his
shoes, and shoe soles. He
should kick off his shoes. He
could walk into the shelter
with his shoes if you put news

floor. then remove his shoes to

State Library VIII
Reopen For Business
CONTINUED from page one)

The State of Delaware acquired
title to the former railroad station
in late December 1853 in an ex-
change for $500 shares of Della
ware Railroad Company capital
stock. This stock, which was nom
dividend bearing, was initially ac-
quired by the state in the 1850's at
a time when, with state assistance,
rail lines were being extended from
Wilmington south through Dover
to the Maryland line at present
day Delmar.
The building was subsequently
assigned to the Library Commits
sion for use as much needed quar-
ters for the State Library previous
ly crammed into several small
rooms in the basement of the Old
State House. Work on refurnishing
and remodelling the former rail
road station began last July and
is now nearing completion.
The new" State Library Build
ing was built in 1910, replacing an
earlier station built on the same
site in 1860. Facing out on Loock-
ernan Street, which terminates in
a circle before its main entrance,
the two-story brick building with
large white wooden columns ex-
tending to the second story pre-
sents an imposing appearance.
From 1910 until shortly after
World War III, the building was a
beehive of activity with trains ar
riving or departing on regular
schedule around the clock In more
recent years, however, passenger
service has been reduced to just
one north-bound and south-bound
train daily.
Since transfer of the former sta
ton to the state a little over a
year ago, the railroad has used the
facilities of its nearby freight sta
tion for passenger service.

required before any benefits can

most people can become insured
more quickly than before. Some
older people who didn't work long
enough under the old law may now
be eligible for payments.
3. Parents working for sons or
daughters in their farm business
are covered by Social Security af-
ter 1860.
4. The new law now says that
any non-profit organization can
cover an employee who wants So
cial Security. Before, two-thirds
of the employees had to want COW
erage.
Mr.. Henderson suggests farmers
check at least every three years
with the local Office to see that
their Social Security record is cor
rect. He also urges farmers to get
in touch with the local office for
more information on the recent
changes.

policies.
Setting June 80, 1861 as an out
side limit for having all the policy
dividends paid, Veterans Admins
tration officials said even this date
would cut the payment timetable
prevailing in other years by exact
ly one-half. They expressed the
hope, however, that concentrated
effort would result in total pay
ment we'll in advance of the June 80
date. Normally, yearly dividends
are paid over full 12-month peri
od
The Veterans Administration ex-
planned that dividends such as will
be paid on World War | and World
War III policies are primarily a re-
fund to the veteran policyholders
of part of their premium payments.
The refunds are made possible
principally because the death rate
among CT policyholders continues
to be lower than the rate upon
which the premiums were establish
ed by law
Veterans who currently have in
force either term or permanent
plan participating NSLI and USGLI
policies will receive dividends.
The Agency emphasized that vet
Grams could aid in the speed-up of
payments by not making advance
individual inquiries about divi-
dends. The answering of inquiries,
it is explained, would divert per-
sonnel from processing the divi-
dends, and thus create a delay in
payments.
Leon Fields, Manager of the Will
mington Regional Office, estimated
that more than $4,000 veterans in
Delaware will share in the 1861 div
idend payments. Their share will
be approximately 100000.
