The Nation’s military leaders
gave strong support to an ex-
panded fallout shelter program
in recent testimony before a spe-
cial subcommittee of tfrt Senate
Armed Services Committee.
Speaking for the Joint Chiefs
Air Force's Strategic Air
Command, sent a statement to
the subcommittee describing
civil defense as "one of the
most important aspects of our
overall deterrent posture.”
The Senate subcommittee's
of Staff, General Earle G. : hearing on the pros and cons of
Wheeler, Army Chief of Staff, I the fallout shelter bill was corn-
hacked a House-passed bill au- pleted in December, 1963. If
thorizing Federal support for committee and Senate action to
" -V-'- - authorize the program is favor- equipment, establi
able, as it was in the House, 1 pral 5rmnri.nl an
Steuart L. Pittman, Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Civil
Defense, has indicated that he
will Seek a supplemental appro-
priation from Congress to get
11 million more fallout shelter
spaces. He told the subcommit-
tee, headed by Sen. Henry M.
Jackson of Washington:
“A FALLOUT PROTEC-

a reasonable degree of protec- j ters for about 10 million persons
tion as well as increasing the ;n buildings owned by nonprofit
credibility of our military de-
terrent posture.”
General Thomas S. Power,
Commander-in-Chief of the
institutions, such as schools,
hospitals, and state and local
government facilities. It author-
izes, but does not appropriate,
$175 million in this fiscal year
toward the program.
2. Require incorporation of
public fallout shelters in most
new and existing Federal struc-
tures. The bill authorizes $15.6
million in this fiscal year to
shelter about a million persons.
3. Remove Federal legal re-
strictions on the use of state and
local civil defense personnel and
-bed with Fed-
eral financial aid, in meeting
natural disasters.
The bill was passed by a
voice vote in the ITousc after
a move to send the measure
back to committee was defeat-
ed 172 to 67. Its passage came
after the House Armed Serv-
ices Committee had approved
the hill hy a 32-1 vote, with
nearly all members reversing
their stand on fallout shelters
after comprehensive testimony
last summer from 108 wit-
nesses.
In floor debate, the bill was
widely hacked, including speeches
by Speaker John W. McCormack
of Massachusetts and Rep. Carl
Vinson of Georgia. Chairman of
the House Armed Services Com-
mittee.
