...Radcliffe students and readers of the CRIMSON, we have several questions concerning the projected University fall-out shelter program for which we should appreciate answers...
...Megabuck Projects. Parallel to the push for family shelters is the one to defend U.S. private industry. Industrial civil defense is enormously expensive. "It costs megabucks," says Frank Jones of Chicago's Bell & Howell Co., which has buried its vital records as a starter in its own civil defense program. But there is a burgeoning recognition of its worth. Scores of companies now participate eagerly in OCDM seminars, have conducted employee courses in civil defense. Many of the nation's banks have buried their vital microfilmed records for safekeeping. Last month Manhattan's Rockefeller Center announced...

Even then, in many a community the communication lines to NORAD may remain perilously thin. In Miami, the main CONELRAD station is not equipped as a fallout shelter, and its link to the city's civil defense control center is an exposed land wire...
