RISK LIVES IN TEST OF BOB SHELTERS
LONDON, Aug. 10 (U. P.).—Human bomb targets are being used in Great Britain to ascertain the effect of high explosives dropped near air-raid shelters. : An experiment carried out by the civil defense research committee at Shoeburness, ex, proved that high explosive bombs are not so dangerous as many think. During the bombing, scientists were quite comfortable in AK bombproof barricades and did not suffer from either concussion or shock. Camouflage, street decontamination, damage to drains, factory lighting in wartime and investigations into earth shock waves form only a skeletcn of their program.
