Show BOMB SHELTERS Congress Gets Shelter Building Plan The administration asked congress con-gress for an appropriation of $3,-100,000,000 $3,-100,000,000 for building bomb shelters shel-ters and to finance other measures in the mobilization of the nation's civil defenses. James J. Wadsworth, a top official of-ficial of the civil defense administration, admini-stration, said nearly two thirds of the money would go for "communal-type" shelters, designed for protection against atomic warfare. The federal government proposes to match the expenditure of cities and states on a dollar-for-dollar basis in the construction of bomb shelters. Wadsworth told the senate-house atomic energy committee, that to do less might well result in no shelters or in shelters completely inadequate inade-quate to cope with the atom bomb. |
