Are Sought in
Hospitals
By the Associated Press

About 5000 hospitals, which
might be able to provide pub
lie shelter for up to five mil
lion persons in addition to
their own patients and stats,
are being asked to participate
in the civil defense fallout shell
ter program.
Steuart L. Pittman, civil de-
Tense chief, and DR.. Russell A..
Nelson, chairman of the civil
defense committee of the Amer
lean Hospital Association, dis
cussed the plan in a news con-
ference yesterday.
Letters to the $500 member
hospitals of the association
have been mailed, but DR.. Mel
son said it was too early yet
to determine the response.
He said that in asking the
hospitals to plan for provid-
ing shelter spaces for the pub
lie, the association and the civil
defense office were aware of
the load this would place on
them.
DR.. Nelson said he thought
that if all $500 hospitals join
in the program, there might be
shelter space provided for be-
tween four and five million
residents Of areas where hos
! pitfalls are located.

said. Moreover, as a great
democratic society, we have a
special responsibility to the
arts, for art is the great demo-
crat calling forth creative
genius from every sector of
society, disregarding race or
religion or wealth or color.
The mere accumulation of
wealth and power is available
to the dictator and the demo-
crat alike. What freedom alone
can bring is the liberation of
the human mind and spirit
which finds its greatest flow

The evening began auspi-
ciously. 1t was almost a balmy
evening, the traffic moved
smoothly and the 5000 guests
seemed to find their places in
the vast hall easily and with
out confusion.
Early in the evening, Roger
L. Stevens, chairman Of the
center's board Of trustees, was
able to announce q gift Of $780,
600 from Col. c. Michael Paul
of Palm Beach, Fla, in mem
Org Of his wife, Josephine Bay
Paul, who died last August.
The 5000 dinners were
served with amazing precision.
The imported Spanish honey
dew melons were juicy ripe. the
filet mignons were hot and the
peppermint ice cream was firm
and cold.
AS the walters cleared the
tables, an expectant stir swept
the audience. Those near the
southwest entrance pressed up
close to the red, white and blue
cord blocking off the corridor
through which the President
would enter.
Suddenly, the audience be-
came aware that the President
and Mrs. Kennedy, though not
yet visible in the Armory. could
be seen on the two huge tele-
vision screens at each end OF
the hall. And then, with the
blare of herald trumpets from
the United States Navy Band
the President and Mrs. Ken
nedy walked into the glare OF
spotlights in the darkened
Armory and up to their places
at the head table.
No Presidential Tights
It had been suggested. Mr.
Kennedy said, that he follow
the precedent set by Louis
XIV in 1864, who, "in his own
