to help the Bryans chart the
moving fallout pattern.
The Bryans have stocked
40 gallons of water in 8 five
gallon polyethelene contain
ers, which they keep in card
board boxes beneath the bed.
The flexible water containers
collapse when empty.
Another 160 gallons of
water, in two tanks, is avail
able in the basement, with a
hose bringing it into the shell
ter area. Mr.. Bryan figures
his 200 gallons of water could
carry his family for 100 days,
much longer than is consid-
cred necessary"
1t also can keep the family
going. even after the fallout
subsidies, in case an electric
power disruption should make
the electric pump useless, so
the well water cannot be
drawn.
In time he can lick that
problem, too, Mr.. Bryan
thinks. by harnessing his l.
horsepower lawn-mower mo-
tor to his well pump.
Three Flashlights
Lights in the Bryans' win
dowless fallout shelter will
come from three flashlights
(for which there are extra
batteries) or candles.
There will be no heat. "If
it's winter time, wen just
have to bundle up in sweat
ers, blankets and coats" Mr..
Bryan said.
One additional expenditure
he is considering is sleeping
bags because of the added
warmth, he said. I'VE could
use them later camping"
Mrs. Bryan has worked
out two complete weeks of
menus, and stocked the
necessary food. She had
planned to serve three hot
meals a day, using a tiny
canned heat stove.
But since her husband re-

in a civil defense experiment,

my plans" she said. Jack
said you have to start cook
ing lunch right after break
fast, to get it done on time,
the stove heats so slowly"
For dry bread-like products,
Mrs. Bryan has filled sew
eral large 5-gallon lard cans
with crackers, cookies, zwei-
bach and the like.
After the tight-lidded lard
cans are empty, they will be
used as repositories for
plastic bags removed from
the camping-type primitive
toilet, which is essentially a
toilet seat on stool legs, with
bag attached.
Beds in the shelter are
lightweight aluminum-frame
camp cots, two of them
arranged in double decker
fashion. The third sits alone,
acting as a sofa. The fourth
remains folded during the
day. There also is one light
weight chair.
There are crayons, check
ers, dominoeS and a dart
board to entertain the
Bryans' two little girls.
Mr.. Bryan, incidentally,
expects to be on the job at
Civil Defense headquarters in
the event Of an attack. The
shelter is for his wife, two
children and mother-in-law.

as winds faded.
The blaze started about TAB
pm. near Hollyridge avenue
and Canyon drive. Nearby is
Beachwood Canyon. a semi
wilderness often used for scenes
in WeStern-type movies.
Powerful winds whipped the
flames through brush crisp
from one of the driest years
in Los Angeles County history
Firemen were hampered by
narrow streets and steep ter
rain as flames shot through
towering eucalyptus trees and
hillside brush.
Camp Hollywood, a Girl
Scout encampment with 146
girls on the scene, was sur
rounded by the fire for a time,
But firemen moved equipment
in so rapidly that it wasn't
necessary to evacuate the camp.
The cause of the fire was
undetermined. One report said
that it started when a power
line was blown down.
The houses that burned
residents said, ranged in value
from $4,000 as high as 100000
Among them was a five-story
landmark known as the Castle

walls at a cost of $4,000 in
the 1920s.

Is secret - even from the
Navy.
Hannes Keller, former math-
ematics instructor from Win
terthur, Switzerland, held a
news conference at the Navy's
experimental diving unit head
quarters in Washington yester-
day. Navy diving officers and
scientists attended.
The 26-year-old. scholarly
looking Keller said he had been
diving only during the last few
years to carry out his research.
But he has gone deeper than
any professional diver, several
times passing the open water
depth record of slightly over
500 feet reached by a United
States Navy diver. In a test in
the preSSurized tank used here.
another Navy diver reached a
simulated depth of 561 feet.
Last month, Mr.. Keller went
down to 1000 feet near Toulon,
France.
This was a bounce dive" in
which he remained on the bot
tom for only a few seconds.
Total time for the dive and re-
turn was about 48 minutes.
Using normal diving tech
niques. the return from that
depth would require hours of a
slow ascent for the gradual de-
compression needed to prevent
the bends" This is caused by
the development of bubbles in
the bloodstream when return
ing too rapidly from the heavy
pressure Of extreme depth.

several reasons for withholding
information on the formula of
the gases he uses. He men

He did say, however, that the
gases are contained in standard
skin diving tanks. Different
gases, in different tanks, are
used at different depths. In his
deep dives, he uses six differ
ent types of gas, changing tanks
as he descends and ascends
The tanks are lowered along
with him, on a platform.
Mr.. Keller's theory is based
on the idea that the mechani-
cal effects of certain compo-

Therefore, he worked out a new
