'Capitol Hill Lacks Shelter Protection'
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Congressman Charles E. Chamberlain of Michigan was sitting in his office two years ago when the air raid siren on the next building went off and, in his words, "almost blasted me out of my chair."
Chamberlain realized that he had at that moment "no ideas" what to do if a real nuclear attack hit Washington. He checked around and found that no one else did either. So he dashed off a letter to the federal civil defense headquarters.
In a few days, Chamberlain got a reply-five copies of a civil defense pamphlet and the word that J. George Stewart was civil defense coordinator for the capitol and would get in touch with him "shortly" to tell him what to do.
CHAMBERLAIN sat across from Stewart in a congressional hearing this week and told him he had been waiting for the answer ever since.
Stewart admitted that no attack plan was in effect for the capitol right now but there would be in a couple of months, that is, a couple of months after the senate rules committee approves the establishment of shelters for the capitol. House speaker John McCormack already has given his approval.
Chamberlain was incredulous.
"Why has it taken so long to get permission from ourselves?" he demanded.
HE SAID Congress was being asked to approve an administration plan to encourage communities across the nation to "roll up their sleeves" and build more fallout shelter facilities, "but we haven't been able to do anything right here."
Stewart said a lot of surveys had to be made and that took time. Now, he said, the capitol was "ready to go"—once the Senate committee acts.
McCormack was quoted as saying
New Codes Discussed At Seminar
A Kansas Judicial Seminar conference was held in the Kansas Union, from June 27 through June 29
The purpose of the conference was to review the trial proceedings handled under the new code of civil procedures that will go into effect Jan. 1, 1964.
THE DISTRICT court judges, all state trial court judges and the supreme court judges from Kansas, attended the conference. The 80 men who attended, included the judges and the personnel of the conference.
The meetings of the seminar groups were divided into four basic sections; Proceedings Before Trial in Civil Cases, Jury Management, Kansas Rules of Evidence, and Trial Judge's Responsibility in Divorce Cases.
The leaders of the discussion groups were: Judge A·H. Ellet, District Court, at Salt Lake City, Utah; Judge Edwin O. Newell, District Court, Burlington, Iowa; Harold L. Sebring, Dean of Stetson University College of Law, St. Petersburg, Florida; Judge Andrew W. Parnell, Circuit Court, Appleton, Wisconsin; Judge Spencer A. Gard, District Court, Iola, Kansas; and Judge Roger Alton Pfaff, Superior Court, Los Angeles, California.
Some of the judges stayed in the Joseph R. Pearson dormitory.

that he was heartily in favor of the shelters and felt congress should "set the example for the nation." Chamberlain said he thought so too, but up to now there hadn't been much of an example.

"What are we supposed to do?" he snapped. "Just every man for himself scrambling around?"
STEWART PROMISED that all would be worked out. He said he had a "little group" working on it, recruiting first aid volunteers and so forth. He said 35,617 shelter spaces would be provided on capital hill and stocked with emergency food and other supplies.

"I don't know," Roderick replied. "Well, who does know?" Chamberlain said.
"I think this thing is getting ridiculous."
Chamberlain then wondered aloud if the white house was equipped similarly. He put the question to George Roderick, civil defense director for Washington.
No answer was forthcoming.

"I'll write them a letter." Chamberlain sighed.

papal initiatives of which they disapprove. He is not likely to be as patient with such obstructionism as was the kindly old man whose slippers he seeks to fill.
Pope Paul—
The curia conservatives did not approve of Pope John's Ecumenical Council. They tried to talk him out of it, and when they failed in that, they sought to postpone the date indefinitely. When it met last fall over their protests, they tied it up in protracted debate over draft statements which they had prepared, and which were directly contrary to the spirit of renewal and reunion.
THE TOLERANCE which Pope John displayed toward these tactics dismayed many of the progressive bishops at the council, and it was not until weeks after the council met that they felt sure enough of the Pope's support to get on with the work of "updating" and reforming the church.
When Paul VI summons the council back into session, it is a safe bet that things will move faster.
