Federal leadership will be
enhanced, Mr.. Gilpatric said,
by concrete and visible steps
by the military establishment
to provide protection for civil
ian employees, dependents and
military personnel located in
the United States"
AS a matter Of fact, a De-
fense Department directive has
existed since July, 1860, which
at one point says, with refer
ence to Government-owned or
Government-sponSored hous-
ing, that "fallouG protection
should be provided military and
civilian personnel and their
dependents in both new and
existing construction"
However, the military's pro-
gram hasn't gone much beyond
the issuing of the policy state
ment more than a year ago
and the new, prodding memo
randum by Mr.. Gilpatric.
A few posts, camps and sta
tions have begun an attempt tc
provide shelter space for mill
tary and civilian personnel, anc
courses on radiation safety
procedure are being taught
There is no money in the cur.
rent fiscal 1862 budget for such
shelters, although it presumably
would be possible to shift funds
from other programs.
Mr.. Gilpatric himself has
provided some tangible evidence
of interest. He has built two
fallout shelters, one at his home

the company distributed divi-
dends of 100000 while listing
an income Of only $60,000.
Mr.. Persian, who lives at
1890 West Beach Terrace NV,
could not be reached today fox
comment. He was arrested Sat-
urday night by State police in
HagerStown, Md, carrying $32,-
900. A woman who answered
the phone at his home said she
had no idea where he was.
Released in $4,000 Bail
He was released in $1,000
bail at 6 am. yesterday, ac-
cording to Montgomery County
Justice Of the Peace Carol D.

office at 1910 Vermont avenue
NV. as well as the home office
Of the association in Silver
Spring and branches in Chevy
Chase, Cumberland. Suitland,
Frederick, Catonsville, Hagers-
town. Lexington Park and
OwingS Mills.
The $4,000 he had in his
possession when State Trooper
1/c Ronald G. Norford arrested
him was turned over to Mr..
Stern, a Chevy Chase attorney
appointed Friday by Montgom-
cry County Circuit Judge James
H. Pugh to manage the asso-
Citations affairs in receiver
ship. A 25-year-old Washing
ton woman who was with Mr..
Persian in HagerStown was re-
leased after questioning.
Mr.. Belts said the treasurer
Of the Farmers Banking g.
Trust Co. in Rockville, Frank
lin H. Wilson, was awakened
at 2 am. Sunday so the re-
ceivers could deposit the S32,-
900, in the safe Of the bank.
Police said Mr.. Persian told
them he had collected the
$4,000 from the branches in
Chevy Chase. Suitland, Freder-
lex and Cumberland to turn
over to Mr.. Stern. Mr.. Finan
said he had ordered State po-
lice to be on the lookout for Mr.
Persian after receiving a tip
from an employe of the COM
pany.

The Defense Department.
now custodian of the civil de-
fense fallout shelter program,
has decided the military should
do something about providing
protection for its own people.
Since the department re-
ceived the responsibility for
the shelter program last sum-
mer, it has been busy telling
civilians how to build their own
ShelterS-and has done vir-
tually nothing about increasing
the handful of shelters the
military had built before the
national effort began.
In a new memorandum
which came to light today,
Deputy Secretary Of Defense
Roswell L. Gilpatric told the
service secretaries and his own
manpower and installations Of
ficialS that:
Study should be initiated
promptly to determine actions
which are available to serve
the dual purpose of protecting
personnel and offering tangible
evidence that the military
establishment takes civil de-
tense seriously"
Mr.. Gilpatric wrote that
there is growing public in
tereSt in any evidence, or lack
of it, that the Department of
Defense. the armed services
and military installations are
taking civil defense measures. /"

u. S. Believed Ahead
DR.. Seaborg said he believed
the United States was ahead OF
Russia in the nuclear weapons
field. He put it this way:
I'm reluctant to speak in
the vague terms of who is
ahead. I just have the feeling
understanding how imprecise
such a statement isl feel that
we are ahead in the aggregate. +"
DR.. Seaborg said he felt that
the United States did not need
to develop so or 100 megaton
bombs even if the Russians
have such weapons. He also
said a 50-megaton bomb could
be developed without setting
off a 50-megaton test.
