Peace T ak Rated
Ahead of Shelters

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. IA
(AP).-Norman Cousins, editor
of the Saturday Review, said
last night we should forget
about fallout shelters and work
for peace while there is yet
time.
He criticized a statement by
DR.. Willard F. Libby, Nobel
Prize-winning atomic scientist
who coined the term "fallout."
He quoted DR.. Libby as saying
80 per cent of Americans could
survive an atomic attack if they
were in shelters. Mr.. Cousins
called this the most danger
ously irresponsible statement ]
have ever seen."
The editor explained that DR..
Libby didn't qualify his state
ment. Mr.. Cousins said it might
be possible in an extremely linn
tied nuclear attack that 9 of 10
people could survive. But he
added there was a very slight
chance of a limited nuclear
attack. He said an enemy would
throw everything he has at us
and vice versa.
Mr.. Cousins remarks were
made at the 43d annual meet
ing of the Ohio Farm Bureau
Federation.

Four more Tiros weather
satellites will be launched, the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration said today.
The first launching appar-
emily could come soon.
! The agency told weather ex-
.perts from 80 foreign countries,
attending a To-day information
al workshop on the use of
weather satellite data. that the
three Tiros vehicles launched
so far have led to increased ac-
|curacy in weather analysis.
DR.. Morris Topper, NASA's
director of meteorological sys-
TENS, said the data they sent
confirmed earlier stories, based
on limited photographs from
high altitude rockets, that ma
Iture draws her own weather
maps by means of clouds"
He said the four additional
Tiros spacecraft will be used to
provide continuous coverage
until the first Nimbus satellite
a greatly improved weather
data gatherer, takes over.

now.

Rockville Lab

When Russia's new test series
caught the United States Pub
lie Health Service short on
equipment to sample radioac-
tive iodine in the air, the serv-
ices laboratory in Rockville.
Md. got a chance to prove its
ingenuity.
Within about a month, the
scientists at the Pathological
Health Laboratory at 1901
Chapman road, Rockville, had
devised a way to convert stand
ard overall fallout detectors
into monitors for the Iodine
I31.
Thus, although new samplers
for radioactive iodine in the air
won't be ready until spring,
PHS already is expanding its
system for measuring iodine in
the air. BY the end of the year
or sooner, a PHS spokesman
said today, there will be Ma

Home The Only Refuge

MI unequivocal answer is,
"yess Provided you have a
fallout shelter at your home.
The really shocking fact is
thai practically no schools in
the land have provided fall
ont. shelters. Children have no
plsoe else to go but home, or
to public shelters. Distraught
patents would be wondering
whkther they were safe.
Many hospitals have done
little more than schools about
shelters for their patients.
School fallout shelters are
urgently needed. School base
ments, or shelters beneath
Fairgrounds, would offer a
haven. Such facilities might
be used normally for play, for
clubs, for school activities, or
community activities.
Husbands whose Jobs are
near enough to their homes
cNald get home also in a ma
jdrity of circumstances. In big
cities, where mass movements
would jam up committing, most
men should seek shelter in their
factories or offices, or in pub
lie shelters. Delays in trying
to get home might find them
caught in the open. But ey-
