An engineer told Congress

And a group Of physicians
said building shelters to save
lives would be like the once
common practice Of wearing a

IF fallout shelters falsely
appear to promise protection
for large segments Of the popu-

worse than no shelters at all,

William F. Schneider, aSso-

oslovak diplomat today accused
of attempting to obtain British

The foreign office said Pre-
mysl Holan, a third secretary
at the Czech embassy, had
been detected trying to per-
suade a member Of the public
to obtain secret information.
No further details were given
by the spokesman. He said
Peter Thomas, British parlia-
mentary undersecretary for
foreign affairs, summoned Am
bassador Zdenek Trhlik to his
office this morning and in q
l5-minute meeting requested
Holan's recall from London.
The reason Mr.. Thomas gave
for the expulsion order was
that Holan had been seen try

the public-whom the spokes-
man did not identify-to OBJ
tain secret information.
At the same time. the spokes-
man said. Mr.. Thomas pro-

CD Called
Job Too Big
orCounties

The top official of Prince
Georges County told a con-
gressional committee today
that civil defense is too big a
job for the local jurisdiction to
handle alone.
Frank j. Lastner, chairman
of the Prince Georges County
Commissioners. said civil de-
tense is a joint responsibility
of the Federal, State and local
governments.
Mr.. Lastner's testimony was
as chairman of the Civil De-
tense Committee of the Ma
tional Association of Counties.
before a House Armed Services
Subcommittee on the legisla-
ton to provide additional Fed
eral civil defense aid. The
statement, prepared for sub
mission during today's session,
gave strong support to the bill.
Mr.. LaStner cited statistics
in his own county to illustrate
the position that the local COM
munity does not have adequate
resources to give its residents
maximum fallout protection
during or after an attack.
The recent national shelter
survey effort located 113 build
ings, with fallout shelter space
for fewer than $4,000 persons
in the nearby Maryland COM
lmunity, he said. Prince Georges
County's population is more
than 100000. Mr.. Lastner
noted.
In the schools, there are TO-
900 spaces for a school popula-
ton Of $4,000, Mr.. Lastner said.
He declared:
This does not mean to imply
that the role of local govern
ments in disaster is inSignifi-
cant; 1t simply means that a
disaster does not have to be-
come very extensive before To-
cal resources and authority are
exhausted"
