ters would turn into ovens,
cooking the people inside. If
they don't burn, they would
probably suffocate, because all
the oxygen would be consumed"
Mr.. Kelleher acknowledges
that his paper was "slanted,"
raising all possible objections
for the administration to knock
down If it could.
Next up was Steuart L. Pitt
man, Assistant Secretary Of
Defense for Civil Defense. He
is a non-oratorical lawyer. He,
too, has no home shelter. How
ever, he has stashed away sup
plies in a corner Of his base
ment, and Mrs. Pittman has
spotted a shelter in q nearby
apartment house to which she
would take the children in case
of emergency.
10 Million Persons
Mr.. Pittman and other De-
fense Department men have
been working on a plan whereby
possible shelter for 70 million
people has been located in
existing buildings, caves, mines
and tunnels. He estimates
spaces for 10 million have been
stocked with emergency sup
plies and that SO million spaces
will be stocked by fall.
Mr.. Pittman received q jolt
just before the hearing. His
carefully knit plans began to
unravel in the Northwest cor
ner Of the country. Portland,
Greg, resigned from participa-
ton in civil defense. Some city
fathers held that the whole
thing was useless in the nu-
clear age-that there was no
substitute for peace.
The Oregon legislature also
developed an aversion to spend
ing more State funds on the
Joint Federal -State-city pro-
gram.
Mr.. Pittlnan, who hopes to
bring Portland back into the
fold, is pressing his program.
The stakes, he told Congress,
"are too high to ignore any
practical measures"
Replies to Criticism
About burrowing in the
ground, he asked: Since when
have American soldiers thought
it wrong to seek shelter in fox
holes in order to live and fight
again? Anyway. he said, 10 per
cent of the shelters would not
be underground but in the in
ner cores Of tall buildings.
The administration plan is
the best buy" he said; 1t is
no panacea, but low-coSt in
surance that could save the
lives of millions outside the big
blast areas.
Representative Holifield,
Democrat Of California, an
atomic specialist, went to bat
for the administration plan,
too. He pleaded for shelters
Ito stop the gamma rays from

Stroying it,"
Representative Chamberlain,
Republican Of Michigan. kept
asking embarrassing questions.
Is Congress setting q proper
example? He wanted to know.
IF the siren went off now,"
he asked Mr.. Holifield, do you
know Of any emergency sup
plies under the Capitol dome?

to provide public fallout shell
ters for all Americans, equipped
with everything from survival
biscuits to chemical toilets?
The talk drones on about
multi-megation nuclear mon
sters capable of digging a hole
$50 feet deep in solid granite;
about millions being incinerated
or suffocated in shelters; about
other millions emerging to try
to rebuild civilization in a poi
soned wasteland.
Interest Is Tepid
For the moment, the world
Is in a lull between crises, and
the public interest in the hear
ing appears to be tepid, to say
the least.
Two facts stand out:
l. From the day in 1889 when
Albert Einstein alerted Frank
lin D. Roosevelt to the war po-
tential of atomic energy, it took
the United States only six
years to produce the atomic
bomb and drop the first one
on Hiroshima.
2. Now, 18 years after Hiro-
shima, the United States has
no civil defense worthy of the
name. Much of it is on paper,
and much of the rest is con-
fused.
This Is acknowledged by all
hands-despite the fact that
since 1850 the Government has
spent a billion dollars or more
on civil defense. (The exact
figure is in dispute.)
Asks $500 Million
The Kennedy administration
Is asking $500 million for the
next fiscal year. The contro-
versial item in this total is
$175 million to help fix up
shelter space in non-profit in
stitutions, such as schools,
hospitals and jails. The hope
Is that this will make profit
institutions shelter-conscious,
too, and will get more citizens
Interested in building shelters.
First witness before a SUBJ
committee headed by Repre-
sentative Hebert, Democrat of
Louisiana, was Philip w. Kelle-
her, subcommittee counsel. He's
q longtime Government lawyer,
father of six, and has no home
shelter, though he said, "Tve
been thinking Of it,"
He read what everybody
called a mastery paper sum-
ming up all the objections
raised by anti-shelter author
titles. They included such ques-
tions as:
Is it American to become
obsesSed with burrowing in the
ground?
Would not shelters induce a
false sense of security, divert
ing the peoples energies from
the quest for peace?
Might Be Circumvented
Even II there were shelters
for everyone. might not Russia
circumvent this defense by ex-
ploding big nuclear bombs in
the air rather than on the
ground? Mr.. Kelleher quoted
DR.. Alexander Langsdorf. jr.,
atomic physicist, on what would
happen then:
"From an air burst you
would get a massive firestorm
which might set all Chicago

The Marriotts have lived

The Senator had planned
to take his bride to Homo

as 1t turned out, the couple
spent their honeymoon in
the White House.
President Hoover wanted
the Senator here during con-
sideration of the London
Naval Treaty and summoned
him back just after his mar
riage. so the newly wed
couple were the Hoovers'
guests for two weeks.

She's on q more intimate

She and Mrs. Romney were

The Marriotts, like the
Romneys, also are MormonS.
Mrs, Marriott's father was
