the neutron bomb.
The neutron device. years
away from the testing stage, is
envisioned as a weapon which
would destroy people but spare
property.
Agency Won't Comment
Scientists theorize that the
bomb, triggered above ground
~ a small blast, could loose a
Neadly rain of radioactiyity,
penetrating several feet of earth
or concrete to kill or MAIN. But
it would leave factories and
homes virtually unscathed-ap-
parently a desirable goal for
any theoretical victor in a ther-
monuclear war.
The Acc refuses to comment
about the neutron bomb, hut
there is speculation that re-
search on the project is going
on at the commissions radia-

However, this time Mr.. Ken
nedy asked the Justice Depart
ment, headed by his brother,
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy. to look into the Pen
tagon stories.
Two man teams Of FBI
agents began early last week
interviewing various officials
and employees at the Pentagon.
The FBI activity seems to have
been directed at military and
civilian officials. The agents
showed only minor interest IN
questioning newsmen.
Interviews Concluded
FBI agents have concluded
the interviews, but it was not
known whether the inquiry had
developed any definite infor-

The articles that caused Mr..
Kennedy concern dealt with
possible plans for strengthen

possible Communist attempt to
drive out United States and
other Allied forces in West

Progress on the White House
plan to reorganize civil defense
was suspended today while
Frank B. Ellis, director Of the
Office of Civil and Defense
Mobilization, marshaled his ar
guments for "civil control"
A meeting with the President
yesterday failed to bring agree
ment on a draft plan prepared
by the White House staff. Mr..
Ellis repeatedly said it would
give too much power to the
Pentagon, and he pointed out
that national conferences OF
Governors and mayors recon-
mended that civil defense re-
main civilian.
Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara accepted the White
House compromise" according
to reliable sources, as did Budget
Bureau Director David E. Bell.
The meeting ended after more
than an hours discussion with
out a decision. Another is ex-
pected within a few days.
Details Unsettled
The administration has de-
cided to seek an expanded civil
defense program. The President
last month said budget requests
for the current fiscal year would
be tripled-bringing it to more
than $500 million.
Details of the long-range
program-and the question of
who shall control the program
remain unsettled.
The President said last month
that the shelter program-the
most expensive part of the ex-
panded program-would go to
the Pentagon. The White House
staff plan would give the PEN
tagon even more administrative
power over other parts of the
program.
$40 Billion Program
Meanwhile Mr.. Ellis has pre-
pared a $40 billion, four-year
Federal, State and local civil
defense program.
He wants to run the pro-
gram, and he hopes to convince
the President that his office,
in reorganized form. can do
the most effective job of work.

executives claim the reduction
will be modest, they admit a

90 The call for restraints on
British corporation profits and
dividends will hurt American
interests involved. The British
stock market has been in a
tailspin for weeks in reflection
of this.
"a The increase in the Britis
bank rate to Z per cent means
"hot money" which flows from
center to center in search of
highest short term interest

ceedingly juice rate in London.
An immediate outflow Of hot
money from this country to
Britain isn't considered likely
but If the rate stays and con-
fidence in the British pound
returns, the pull surely will be
in that direction.
90 The lid the British Gov
eminent has placed on spend
ing for overseas aid well may
put pressure on us to spend
more to fill the gaps. British
officials insist their aim is to
have West Germany take over
more Of the British burden but
the possible impact on us can't
be denied.
(6) Finally when Britain
and West Europe join to create
one great trading area covering
19 nations and 300 million-pluS
consumers, we'll be challenged
indeed.
This area will have a COM
mon tariff against outsiders
and we'll be an outsider. Its
member nations will be con-
centrating on low-coSt mass
production-and the competi-
ton to us could be terrific.
Our great ally is going
through the painful process of
shrinking" herself to living
within her means and to link
ing herself economically and
politically with Europe. While
the long-term prospects for all
could be glittering, the transit
ton process could be quite
painful for us and there's no
point in kidding ourselves
about it.

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
British Crisis-M
" SYLVIA PORTER

Make no mistake about it
what Britain does is of di-
rect meaning to us.
Britain has imposed a tough
auSterity program to force
down consumer buying and
force up selling abroad by
businessmen. Also, she has
begun negotiations to unite
with the European Common
Market.
In the past two columns, I
have outlined why Britain has
fallen into this sixth economic
crisis since the war and what
she is doing to solve it. Now:
@. How will Britain'S moves
affect Americans2
A. II, say, one Of your big
gest customers and competitors
were to tell you that he is in
financial trouble and to get
out Of it, he must cut down
spending in your shop and
simultaneously, try to increase
his earnings by competing more
aggressively for your other Gus
toners patronage, you'd scarce
ly dance with joy. This is what
Britain has told us.
Before going into details, it
is essential to realize that the
United States Government ap-
proves Of what the British
government is doing, for a
weak ally with a sick currency
is no asset in the struggle be-
tween the Soviet bloc and the
free world. We need a healthy
partner and anything Britain
does to strengthen herself
strengthens the Western alli-
ance.
This is the long-term-con-
Structive aspect of Britain's
attempts to balance income and
outgo. It also is essential to
realize that the Short-term
effects on us are adverse.
% The increased sales taxes
and curbS on credit are de-
signed to reduce instalment
buying and spending by Brit
ons acroSs-the-board. These
controls will reduce our sales
in the British market.
(2) The curbS on buying and
borrowing will reduce sales by
subsidiaries of American cor
! porationS based in Britain and
selling to the British market.

 FalIout Shelters

One Alaska community has fam fly fallout shelters built and most of the 88 residents live in them for eight months annually.
 Little Diomede Island Eskimos live in underground homes which are ideal fallout shelters, Earl Tin key, an Alaska construction inspec- tor, reports.
 Tinkey was at the island village, which is just two miles distance from RusSian-held Big Diomede Island in the Boring Straits, in 1860. He supervised the construc- ton Of a National Guard armory there as an inspector for the U. S. Army Engineer District, Alaska.
 Long before there was fallout menace, the Diomede Islanders built their homes underground and provisioned them to wait out the long Arctic winters" he says.

a Space Agency spokesman said
today.
Weather here on the Florida
coast was ideal for launching
this morning and is expected
to continue so for another "a

weather is less ideal but is ex-
pected to be good tomorrow.
A six-hour countdown on the
Redstone booster rocket began
this morning at $3.50 (EDT)
After the first phase of the
count is completed in mid
afternoon, there will be a halt
until shortly after midnight,
when fueling with liquid oxy-
gen will begin.
If a delay is forced before
the oxygen pumping starts, a
24-hour postponement until
Saturday morning is all that
will be necessary. Once the oxy-
gen starts flowing into the
tanks, any halt would be Of 48
hours duration because of the
necessity of cleaning out the
rocket.
This would cause a delay un-
