Broderick, director) of Marion County civil defense! said shelter construction plans here cannot be undertaken until] state authorities give the starting signal. A tentative plan has been advanced for building a three-way bomb shelter, parking lot and givic building on the site of the Market Building, but this will depend on federal aid. No Money, No Shelters
Beyond this proposal, no shelters are in sight. County defense officials say there is no money for such construction. If federal money is made available, Mr. Broderick said, it will be distributed through state defense offices. State directors point the finger of guilt to the federal level. | “We have no shelter plans whatsoever,” said Frederick Cretors, second in command at the state office. | “We have received no authoritative opinion on the feasibility of such a project,” Mr. Cretors declared. “There are many things to consider, such as location, cost, number of shelters, their resistance to explosion and warning time needed by citizens to reach cover. The state officer anticipated program of “matghing funds’ under any federal plan for assisting local defense work. Under this system the state cor counties would we required to provide a portion of construction costs.

Earth Shakings in "50 Greatest Since 1906
HARVARD, Mass, Dec. 30
{{UP) The earth was shaken this tion
year by earthquakes that packed the power of 4 million atomic bombs, the director of Harvard University’s Seismograph Station reported today. Prof. L. Don Leet said that In 1950 the earth suffered greater shaking by earth quakes than mn any year since 1908 including “one of the two greatest earthquakes ever recorded.” This, he said, was the one that occurred Aug. 15 in the Himalaya
Mountains at the China-Burma-|
