Washington area traffic was

fighting forces began sanding
and sailing bridges, over
passes and main streets as soon
as the extent of the disturb

Snow Plans One, Three and
Four were put into effect in
the District shortly before 2
pm. The plans ban unneces-
sary car trips and parking on
certain main routes and re-
quire drivers to use snow tires
or chains.
The Weather Bureau said the
tricky weather pattern might
bring rain and sleet this eve
ming, followed by more snow
before the storm moves out
ward.
Temperatures in the lower
20s tonight were expected to
make highways and streets even
more hazardous. Tomorrow
will be windy and cold.
The snowfall was general in
this area, accommodating 2 inches
to the south within two hours
after the storm began.
Some schools in the area
were closing early to avoid
rush-traffic tieups. Fairfax

early.

Pay 500 on Shelters

Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara today asked Congress
to authorize Federal payments
of so per cent Of the cost of
building public fallout shelters,
Proposed legislation would
authorize the Defense Depart
ment to make incentive pay
ments" for shelters built by
"non-profit institutions en-
gagged in health, education or
welfare activities"
In a letter accompanying
draft legislation, Mr.. McNa-
mara said that group shelter
space for each individual would
cost about $40. The Govern
ment would pay up to $25 of
that cost for approved shelters
accommodating at least so per-
sons, according to the admin
istration proposal.
Projects Covered
Payments would be author
lied for projects that were
started after January /.
President nedy last
month asked for $3.50 million
appropriation for the first year
of the shelter program. The
sum would provide space for
20 million persons. Another 80
million spaces would be provid-
ed for in the current campaign
to stock and mark existing
buildings.
The Federal incentive pay
ments would be only for public
shelters. Although the civil de-
tense office is encouraging and
advising on the building of
home shelters, no financial as
sistance would be given for
private shelters.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-09

The Federal subsidy - to
schools, hospitals, welfare in
situations and other non-profit
organizations operated by State
or local governments-would
be provided for construction OF
shelters to house so or more
persons.
The language in the bill is
broad enough to embrace pa
rochial schools and all hospitals
as we'll as local and State gov
eminent facilities. It would
not. however, apply to fac
tories, commercial office build
ings or private residences.
Secretary's Letter
Mr.. McNamara's letter said:
1T is anticipated that the
rate of incentive payments to
eligible institutions will be set
at $25 per approved shelter
space, or the cost of shelter
construction, whichever is less.
The average incremental cost
is estimated at $40 per shelter
space ga per square foot of
floor space allowing 10 square
feet for each shelter space)."
New construction or changes
in existing construction to pro-
vide shelter areas will be based
on standards already existing
in the Federal Civil Defense
Act.
Mr.. Mcnamara said that any
payment made for shelters
would be in addition to any
other assistance in construction
given to non-profit institutions
by the Federal Government,
irrespective of whether such
assistance was in the form Of
a loan or grant.
