S. Billion Shelter Plan
For All in u. S. Asked

indicate a $23 billion cost fol
the whole program.
Mr.. Pittman replied that
some 10 million spaces would
found in existing buildings, Sc
some construction costs would
be eliminated. Also, he said
current Pentagon cost esti-
mates put a $40 per space
price tag on shelters and that
future improvements in con-
struction could bring that fig
ure down.
Would Include Subsidies
The Federal share, Mr.
Pittman said, would include
the cost of the current survey,
marking and stocking existing
space, shelter construction in
Federal buildings and subsidy
payments for communicable
shelters.
In a proposed new program,
the Federal Government would
pay up 10 $25 per space of the
cost of fallout shelters built
by public welfare organizations.
In addition to the 70.5 mil
lion spaces to be found in
existing buildings, the Penta-
gon package assumes that the
subsidy program will produce
20 million spaces per year for
a total of 100 million. Indi-
viduals and private companies
are expected to build shelters
at a rate of IL million spaces
per year, for a total of so
million spaces, Mr.. Pittman
said.

LONDON, Feb. 10 (AP).-
When Miss Gwendoline Barter
went into battle against the
East Kent Hunt, she manned a
foXhole.
The difference between this
foXhole and the ones used by
troops was that Miss Barriers
had a fox in it. And it was the
fox she was trying to save.
The pink coated huntamen
came riding up, the hounds
we're baying and the fox had
gone to earth.
Then Miss Barter, a sturdy
champion of foxes and enemy
of hunting enthusiasts, flung
herself into the foxhole.
You won't get this fox" she
yelled as the hunt closed in this
week end.
Touch me if you dare!"
The appalled, huntSmen refined
their horses.
The dogs stopped baying and
started staring.

A IS billion program to pro-
vide fall-out shelters for vir-
tually everyone in the Nation
within five years was made
public by the administration
today.
Assistant Secretary of De-
tense Steuart L. Pittman, tes-
tifying before thefHouse Gov
eminent Operations Commit
tee, said the tentative Penta-
gon program calls for shelter
space for 233.5 million persons
by June 80, 1867.
His cost estimates, he said
were Every rough" But in re-
Spouse to questions by Chair
man Holifield, Democrat of
California, Mr.. Pittman said
the total cost figure might be
"$5 or 6 billion" OF this, he
said, the Federal Government
would pay perhaps SO billion,
The rest would be provided by
State and local governments
and by private funds.
$40 Billion Mentioned
Mr.. Holifield did not dispute
the cost estimate directly, but
he pointed out that previous
estimates brought to his COM
mittee indicated that the cost
of such a program might be
closer to $40 billion.
The average cost for space
for one person, Mr.. Holifield
said, had been estimated in
the past at $500. This would

DEFIES MEN AND HOUNDS
Anti-Hunt Crusader
Saves Fox in His Hole

Thomas Watcher, joint secre-
tary of the hunt, said last
night:
1--WE were amazed. Miss
Barter just rushed out of the
underground and scampered
into the hole, just like that.
What worried us was the
hounds. We were afraid they
might go for her. She was max
ing an awful commotion."
Elderly Miss Barter, who
only last week argued her case
on televiSion against hunting
enthusiast Lord Knutsford, won
this battle of the foxhole.
There was nothing else we
could do" said Mr.. Wacher
I'VE just stopped digging out
the fox and went away"
After the battle was over
Miss Barter explained: Il just
lost my temper and jumped in.
I saved the life Of one fox, any,

By the Associated Press

Senator Carl Hayden, who
snapped his sheriff's badge for
a seat in Congress five days
after Arizona became a State,
today becomes the first man
to serve as a member of Con-
gress for so years.
The 84-year-old Democrat,
third in line of succession to
the presidency, was sworn into
the House of Representatives
February 10, 1912. After Is
years as Arizona's only Repre-
sentative, Senator Hayden
moved to the Senate in 1927.
Today he is dean of the Sen
ate and of Congress. However,
he is little known outside Wash
|ington, because he resolutely
shuns publicity and rarely
speaks in public.
Asked in a recent interview
to name his greatest accom-
.plishment, he replied:
81 just can't do it. A man
does one piece of work one time;
another piece of work, and then
another. To look back so years
and say one thing is more i'm
portant than another is some
thing I can't do"
Last November, at a testi-

about Senator Hayden:

term.
Senator Hayden, a tall, lean
bald man who smokes cigars
is president pro tempore of the
Senate, a position that goes to
the member of the majority
party who has served longest.
This puts him third in line to
the presidency, behind Vice
President johnson and Speaker
Mccormack.
Although he has served longer
than any of the more than TO-
900 other congressman in
United States history, Senator
Hayden balks at the suggestion
that he fully understands the
legislative system.
"Oh, I don't think anybody
fully understands it yet" he
said in an interview tapped for

had founded the settlement.
He was educated in the pub

Urges Talks
By4 Powers
On Question

PARIS. Feb. 10 (AP).-Presi-
dent Charles de Gaulle today
urged the worlds nuclear pow
ers to destroy all their nuclear
weapons and to join in de-
struction or control of all
means of their delivery.
The French President said
France is ready to meet with
the United States, Britain and
the Soviet Union in a disar-
mament conference for this
purpose.
Gen. de Gaulle's proposal
was contained in a letter to
Premier Khrushchev, replying
to the Soviet leaders SUCCESS
ton of a summit conference
on disarmament in Geneva
next month.
Ignores March IA Date
The key section of Gen. de
Gaulle's letter said France is
ready to participate with the
other three nuclear powers in
negotiations (which would have
as their immediate objective
the destruction, the banning
and the control of the means
of delivery of nuclear weapons"
Gen. de Gaulle ignored Mr..
Khrushchev's proposal for a
disarmament meeting on the
summit level March IA.
The President said confer
ence such as he proposed should
be limited to the Big Four pow
ers. Participation of other
states could not lead to any
positive result, he said.
Difficulties Cited
Gen. de Gaulle prefaced
French readiness to meet with
the other three powers with the
statement that real disarma-
ment means the destruction of
! the nuclear weapons themselves.
He conceded the multiplicity
OF such weapons at the present
time would make it difficult to
assure that such actually was
!. being done. He suggested that
1t would be easier, however, to
supervise the destruction of
launching ramps and other
means of delivery.

u. S. Arrests
20 Strikers
In Alabama
BY the Associated Press

Twenty strikers were arrested
today on charges of conspiring
to interfere with interstate
commerce by shooting at drivers
and trucks of the Bowman
Transportation Co. of Gadsden,
Ala.
The firm has been involved
in a violence-studded strike by
Birmingham Teamster Union
Local 612 since November 4.
Acting Attorney General
Byron r. White said a three
count indictment was returned
last Wednesday in United
States District Court in Biz
mingham against the local
president, George Samuel
Webb, AZ, and 10 other strikers.
The indictment remained
sealed until the arrests were
made today.
Mr.. White said the local also
was named as a defendant.
He said evidence leading to
the indictment was developed
by the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation.
The indictment listed six
shootings at Bowman vehicles
in Georgia and Alabama and a
seventh shooting at the Gads-
den home of a Bowman en-
ploye. The shootings occurred
Between December 3 and Jan
uary 10, the Government said.

the legislation would give the
Government IAN invaluable
anti-receSSion tool"
Action to increase public
works spending is a traditional
method of combating economic
doWnturnS. But the President
noted that timing is very i'm
portant, and said reliance on
normal congressional processes
can delay action until it is toe
late to do much good.
Therefore, he said, Congress
now should authorize the
President to launch a public
works program without further
legislation when certain cri-
terra are met.
JObless Rate Is Gauge
The bill would trigger &C
tolerated public works spending
only when the seasonally ad-
justed unemployment rate has
risen in either three out of
four or four out of six consecu-
tive months, and when the rise
in the four or six month period
totaled at least one percentage
point.
Even if the jobless rate rose
as specified, it would be left
up to the President whether tt

First to Launch Probe
Postal authorities were among

lands unregulated savings and
loan industry. The postal in
vestigation began more than
two years before the State
passed law regulating savings

has since been used to put
six firms into receivership, two
in conservatorship and has led
to the revocation of many firm
charters.
Before the Maryland General
Assembly adopted the regula-
tory laws last year, Maryland
was the only State without
regulations for savings firms.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
POGO
By WILLIAM MORRIS

- Question: I am all confused
as to whether a couple has" or
shave" children. Here are a
couple of items from our daily
paper Tin which your column
appears: The couple (Red
Buttons and his wife, is trying
to work things out for a recon-
. ciliation" and "the couple
= Warren Dana and his wife,
Eleanor Shano) has two daugh-
tiers" I know that Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones have" two children.
Why, then, doesn't a couple
."have" children?-J. Paul Ford,
Williamsburg, Pa.
Answer: Couple" is one of
those peSky collective nouns
like crowd" flock" Jury"
and many more. When you use
one of these collective nouns
the verb you use singular or
piuraD depends on whether you
are thinking of the group as a
single entity or are thinking of
the individuals who make UP
the group. Thus you would
say the jury was split 3D. and
couldn't reach a verdict" But,
thinking of the individuals who
made up the jury, the jury
were unable to make up their
minds"
In the case of the examples
you cite of COUPLE" pretty OBJ

Next fall Harper & Row New

enough, I think will be the

and Fable (also published by

viously the writer is thinking of
both couples as units, so the
singular verb is appropriate.
For an example of a couple"
thought of as plural, note this
sen tence: when we knew
where the couple were living,
we stopped by to visit them"

Question: Can you recon-
mend a book dealing with the
origins of words? I have been
using Webster's New World
Dictionary for some time but
thought perhaps there is a book
more complete in it's etymolo-
gieS. Seems it is always much
easier to remember a word if
you know the why" of it,
Mrs. K. w. Mcconnell, WASH
ington, Pa.

airy you mention is much the
best of the desk dictionaries in
