lures muumuus and llama slippers.
Smith likes the classics but spices
them with long shirts, culottes, burlap
skirts, knee-tickers Qnee-length skirts),
large barrettes. In general, upperclass-
men seem inclined to wear the clothes
they have and only the freshmen in the
first few weeks 60 in for the strange
items.
At some colleges there are odd fads,
however. Minnesota's Carleton reports
''There don't seem to be any really
stylish fads. They're all the sloppy
variety like mems gray athletic shirts
down to the knees worn with cutoff
jeans and dirty white tennis shoes. In
the dorms, girls wear muumuus.''
High-school girls though are the
creatures with the most interest in
looking like nobody ever did before,
although they, too, are more fashion
conscious than their predecessors.
Many schools have rules about dress,
restricting kids to dresses or skirts and
tops, so the really Rookie" items are
saved for leisure time. Wilton, Conn.,,

bracket, the college crowd, is especially
unstartling. The girls are up-to-the-

We queried dozens of colleges, re-
ceived a constant stream of reports
like this: Wellesley, ''Not a very faddy

print blouses, culottes, trench coats);
University of Illinois, apparently we

blocks could band together to
build and supply bruied COM
munity shelters, such as were
described in the previous
article.
Would tall buildings and sky
scrapers come tumbling down,
perhaps trapping people in base
ment shelters? Yes, under a
direct hit, or possibly for some
distances beyond.
But reinforced concrete build
ings such as these are strong,
and many could withstand
blasts effects. In Hiroshima a
concrete building directly un-
derneath the A-bomb withstood
the blast and was essentially
intact, while frame buildings
were blown down over great
distances.
For fallout protection alone
tall buildings offer excellent
protection in middle floors, and
interior areas or corridors.
There, the radiation from fall
out would be blocked by the
concrete structures above and
below.
Evachating a big city is not
the answer, unless there was
advance warning of a couple
of days. Colossal traffic jams
otherwise could lead to serious
problems or loss of life.
Planning for apartment
dwellers has Jagged as badly as
planning and preparation of
shelters in schools. Tenants
could take the lead in insisting
on shelter provision, and might
even contribute toward COM
munity shelters. The costs run
about 500 per person with so
or more people per shelter.
Some apartments have inner
corridors or spaces offering
some protection due to dis
tance and intervening walls
from the exterior walls or roof.
Staying there for 48 hours
could reduce the exposure
somewhat but such shelter is
very seldom adequate.
Otherwise there seems little
choice for many except closets,
or improvised shelters with
walls" of books of any avail
able material. Going to shell
ters in offices or public build
ingS> might be the wiser course.

compliShed long ago.
A few firms or companies
have taken the initiative, and
shown what is possible. For
example, one company with g.
500 employees has prepared shell
ters in its buildings and stocked
them at a cost of about $3.50
per employe.
At the University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles, in two
days we mapped the campus
for basement areas capable of
accommodating about $4,000
persons, enough room for the
students and faculty and per-
sonnel.
We estimate we can stock
it with all necessary supplies,
including a basic powdered
multi-purpose food which needs
only addition of water, for 81
per person.
Many city buildings, factories
and apartments have basement
areas which could be quickly
prepared to care for residents,
workers and visitors.
Apartment dwellers, on their
own or with aid of the land
lord, can set up fallout shelters
within their buildings.
Subways offer huge shelter
areas for many thousands of
persons, particularly in New
York. Storm drains. and any
tunnels, are other possibilities.
Some countries, notably
Sweden and Denmark, have
been developing efficient fall
out and antiblast protection
shelters for some time.
Evacuation Not Answer
In Sweden, H-bomb shelters
are required in the center OF

With proper defense, most
city dwellers and workers could
be saved. Our cities are vul-

shamefully little has been done.
City dwellers should be de-
manding action quickly, and
taking individual steps to pro-
tect themselves.
Some cities have designated
public shelters in Easements or
other areas of large public and
office buildings, or factories.
But few if any are yet stocked
with necessary provisions to sit

only liberals and ultra
liberals for company.
The President is no more
than moderately liberal him
self. He is not comfortable
with the ultra-liberals, even
apart from his awareneSs
that ultra liberals will give
any Democratic administra-
tion as much unnecessary
trouble as effective help.
Vice President johnson
also knows several things.
One is that there can be only
one President at a time. Even
if any Vice President wanted
to challenge any President,
he would be almost certi-
fiably insane to do so.
Another is that the sue
cess of the Kennedy admin
istration is as meaningful to
him as to the President.
After all, if Mr.. Kennedy's
Job is such as to bring about
his re-election the end of
his second term will open an
opportunity for Mr.. johnson
himself. Without Mr.. Ken
nedy's active consent, Mr..
johnson could never receive
such a nomination.
And. finally, the Vice Pres
ident well knows that he has
been able to become the
country's second voice pre-
cisely because he has kept it
the second voice and never
tried to make it the first. This
was the reason for the success
both in Africa and in Mr..
Kennedy's estimation-of Mr..
Johnson's recent African mis-
sion. This was why he was
entrusted with major policy
declarations to our allies in
Paris and to the disarmament
negotiatorS in Geneva.
And all these are also the
reasons why leading Republi-
cans themselves never shared
the delusion Of the ultra
liberals that Jack and Lyn-
don" automatically must
fight" These Republicans
are themselves sensible poll
ticianS. So they knew that

WILLIAM S. WHITE

Vice President Lyndon B.
has become the Nations Sec
ond voice to a degree meyer
before seen in history.
He has been granted by
President Kennedy an ur-
equaled intimacy in the prep
aration of the highest ma
tional policy. Not even Rich
ard Nixon in the Eisenhower
administration was given so
responsible a role.
Being human, Mr.. johnson
has responded to Mr.. Ken
edy's generosity with a gen.
erosity and loyalty toward
his young chief. The asso-
citation is not too unlike that
between an infantry officer
and his most trusted top
sergeant.
This is the short and sim
plified truth as between John
Fitzgerald Kennedy and Lyn-
don Baines johnson. And
these very same two were
reaching for each cther's
arteries only last summer
when both aspired to the
presidential nomination.
There is. however, a longer
and more complicated truth
in the relationship. It is
friendly, yes, but 1t is no
sentimental tablEau. It does
not lack a common liking,
but it rests far more on COM
mon sense.
1t is, in fact, a highly prac-
tical concert between two
tough and honestly ambi-
tious men. They do not see
absolutely eye to eye on
everything, and don't pre-
tend to. But they are abso-
lutely together on the two
vital points which have made
and will preserve their part
nership. They are together
on the one great issue-how
to conduct the cold war. And
they are together in their full
awareness that only by stay
ing together can they avoid
disaster to their own admin
istration and to themselves.
Mr.. Kennedy knows that
though polls indicate a great
rise in his popularity since the
election. the fundamental
fact remains that he won
very narrowly. He knows that
a break with Mr.. johnson,
the leader of the moderates,
would leave him isolated with

DAVID LAWRENCE

The big illusion fingers on.
Two world leaders, President
Kennedy and Prime Minister
Macmillan, now have held
their summit" meeting and
have issued a state m e n t
phrased in cautious general
tiles. The purpose is to give
the impression that some
thing substantial is being ac-
complished to forward the
cause of peace. But realism
negates such an impression.
For peace doesn't depend
on what the United States
and Great Britain may wish
fully say about it. Peace to-
day depends upon mobiliz-
ing adequate forces to check
the palpable effort of the
Communist regime in Mos
COW to dominate the world
either by threat and a peace
full take-over or by military
action in enough local" areas
to bring about submission by
the West.
The big unanswered queS-
ton is what the West will
do about it. What hovers
over every summit" meet
ing is the stark fact that the
West doesn't want to fight a
war and conveys the idea it
will make almost any conces-
sion to avert one. The West
is a loose alliance with each
nation paying lip service to
unity but going its own way
just the same.
A dictatorship has only one
thing to think about its
own force. Its allies are SO
dependent upon the power of
the dictator's military ma
chine that they must go along
with him. Democratic gov
ernments have no such power
over each other. Hence ir-
resolution is manifest, and
this. gives the dictator "a
Hitler or a KhruShchev-the
feeling that conquest can be
achieved by bluff. Eventu-
ally comes the disillusion-
ment. as the other side fl
nally determines to fight.
But it is then too late to avert
a war.
What's happened recently
to the West? Despite the
Macmillan Kennedy pro-
nouncements, the truth is
the West is weaker than it
was a year ago. Due to the
stagnation of allied policy
because Of the American elec-
ton campaign, the Soviets
have had several months to
entrench themselves further
