EXCERPTS FROM NEW BOOKLET
Civil Defense Tips Are Aimed to Save Lives

Here are excerpts from the
booklet published BY the De-
tense Departments office of
CiUil Defense on "Fallout
Protection-What to Kno1U
and Do About Nucledr At
tack.
The purpose Of this booklet
is to help save lives if a nu-
clear attack should ever come
to America. There is no
panacea for protection from
nuclear attack. In a major at
tack upon our country. mil
lions of people would be killed.
There appears to be no prac-
tical program that would avoid
large-scale loss of life. But an
effective program Of civil do
tense could save the lives Of
millions who would not other
wise survive. Fallout shelters
and related preparations, for
example, could greatly reduce
the number of casualties. .
There is no escaping the fact
that nuclear conflict would
leave a tragic world. The areas
of blast and fire would be
scenes of havoc, devastation
and death. For the part of the
country outside the immediate
range of the explosions, it
would be a time of extraordi-
nary hardship-both for the
Nation and for the individ-
ual. But it would not
mean the end of the life of
our Nation.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. 80
(AP).-The Katangan delega-
ton here today said it had re-
ceived an appeal from lawyers
and magistrates in the Katan-
gan capital for an investigation
of alleged crimes against hu-
manity by United Nations
forces.
The appeal asked "magis-
trates, lawyers and personnel in
the service Of justice" through
out the world to press their gov
ernmentS to set up an interna-
tional investigation committee.
1t said the United Nations
acted in Elisabethville like a
state, the executive and legis-
lative bodies Of which in theory
and in practice escape all ju-
dietary control"
1t claimed Elisabethville law
yers and judges had witnessed
crimes by U. N. personnel in
September and December which
were "only partly reported by
the worlds press" and were of
such scope that if unpunished
would endanger international
morality and the future and of
mankind and peace"
U. N. personnel, the complaint
said, make arrests without war;
rants or charges, makes no re-
ports of interrogations, and
allow no intervention by law

Radiation Sickness
Is Not CONTAGIOUS

Radiation sickness is neither
contagious nor infectious. Fall
out radiation cannot make any
thing radioactive. Food and
water that have been exposed
to fallout radiation are con-
taminated only to the extent
that they contain fallout parti-
cles. Exposed food that may
have particles on it can be made
safe by washing, brushing, OF
peeling. Fallout particles can
be removed from water supplies
by Sedimentation or filtering
People who have fallout parti-
cles on their bodies or clothing
probably would not carry
enough to endanger other
people, but they should wash
themselves for their own pro-
lection.
Following a nuclear attack
most radioactive elements in
fallout would decay rapidly, los
ing most of their power to
harm. However, for some time
thereafter the hazard could
continue to restrict normal
activities in some parts of the
country. A few elements, such
as strontium 90. cesium 1877
and carbon IA. are long-lived
and could harm humans in
some ways. such as by being
absorbed by food plants. How
ever, the long-term damaging
effects Of such exposure are
not yet known in great detail

A Nucleor Explosion
First. the BLust

A five-megaton nuclear
weapon explodes with a bril-
liant flash that lasts about a
minute. A quick burst Of nu-
clear and heat radiation
emerges from ground zero, the
point of the explosion. The
squirt Of nuclear radiation
(wavy lines extending from the
firebalD is called initial radi-
alton or prompt radiation and
kills within a mile or two. The
heat rays straight lines) can
Kill unprotected people up to
10 miles away and may start
fires beyond that. The heat
rays and initial radiation are
followed by a blast wave which
starts at more than 1000 miles
an hour. but loses much of its
damaging force by about 10
miles out. With the blast wave
comes a violent wind which
picks up loose objects and bears
them outward. In the illustra-
ton here, the weapon has burst
at ground level, leaving a crater
about half a mile across and
200 feet deep. Nearly every
thing within a radius of a mile
of ground zero would be de-
StroYed.

most Of the potential fallout
hazard. The spread Of fires
from nuclear attack would be
limited in the same ways as are
peacetimeS fires-by barriers
such as open space, rivers
highways, by rainfall, and by
varied distribution of burnable
material.
During the average lifetime
every human being receives
about 10 roentgens Of nuclear
radiation from natural sources.
In addition. people are exposed
to small amounts Of radiation in
dental and chest X-rays and
even from the luminous dials
of wrist watches.
When large amounts of radi-
alton are absorbed by the body
in short periods of time, sick
ness and death may result.

the Federal Government. Blue
prints for shelters will be avail
able on request at local civil
defense offices.
In describing the effects OF
nuclear blasts, the booklet uses
as an example a five-megaton
explosion (the equivalent force
OF five million tons Of TNT) =.
1t is believed that the Soviets
now have missile warheads of
this size, but in a future war
the explosives could be either
larger or smaller.
Radioactive fallout - the
deadly dust stirred up by the
explosion would be a danger
many miles away from the
blast. the booklet says. People
can be saved, however, the book
says, by taking shelter under a
thick layer Of concrete or dirt.
Community shelters are pic
tured in the booklet, as well
as home shelters, ranging from
a small room in the basement
or backyard, costing up to $3.50
to build, to free" shelters
made hastily of doors and
piled-up dirt.
The book encourages home
shelters only for families liv-
ing in rural or sparsely settled
areas" and for people who be-
lieve construction of community
shelters is a long way off in
their towns.
Persons without special
shelter also can get advice
from the booklet. If a bomb
explodes, the booklet says, dive
into a corner or a ditch or
gutter until the blast subsidies.
Then move quickly to some
kind of Shelter-a basement,
the center of a large building
a culvert.
The booklet points out that
the only truly essential equip
ment for a shelter is water

they can live for the neces-
Sary two weeks without food

Fire Presents
A Great Hazard

When nuclear or incendiary
bombs strike a highly combusti-
BILE city area, they can create
a "fire storm; the rising COL
umn of hot gases draws in
surrounding cool air, producing
inward-blowing winds that con-
fine the fire storm to the blast
damage area. Primary fires
would be a much greater haz-
ard than fire storms. For max
imum fire damage, a nuclear
weapon must be detonated high
in the air. This would eliminate

Some Basic Facts
About on Attack

The probable effects of nu-
clear attack and the relative
value of certain protective
measures are complex subjects
There is no attempt here to
discuss them in great detail,
but to present information
that might be helpful in un-
derstanding the overall prob
lem.
A 5-megaton nuclear burst
at ground level would destroy
most buildings 2 miles from
the point of the explosion.
Steel-frame buildings would
be knocked sideways and great
fires started.
The destruction 5 miles away
would be less severe. but fires
and early fallout could be a
significant hazard.
At 10 miles, sturdy buildings
would remain intact. At this
distance fires probably would
not be started by the fireball,
but might be started by the
blast wave which could rup-
ture gas lines and short-circuit
wires. Flying glass would pre-
sent a major danger, as would
early fallout.
At SO miles from the bomb
burst, all buildings would re-
main standing. The fading
blast wave would take about
five minutes to arrive, but
would still shatter many win
dows. The greatest danger at
this distance would be from
early fallout which would
begin arriving in some areas
within three or four hours. de-
pending upon weather condi-
tions at the time.

nifty would be shattered by a
nuclear war. Normal services

this material, condensing in
the cold upper air like rain or
snow. starts falling back to
earth because. like ash from a
fire, it is heavier than air. 1t
is called fallout because it falls
out of the sky, wherever the
winds may blow it. You can
not tell from the ground which
way it will be carried because
its scatter is determined by
high altitude winds, which may
be blowing in a different direc-
ton from the ground-level
winds you can observe. About
5 miles from the explosion,
the heavier particleS-early
fallout would reach the
ground in half an hour. Twenty
miles away, people may have
nearly an hour to get ready.
One hundred miles away the
fallout may not start for four
to six hours. All this early
fallout, which carries the bulk
of the radiation danger, de-
scends in less than "a hours.
The less dangerous lighter
particles - delayed fallout-
might stay aloft for months.
