Pres ident Ensenhower, before a late- afternoon departure for Wash ington, was among the busiest heads of state. Castro announced he is re turning to Havana Wednesday, the first of the visiting govern ment leaders to depart from the U.N. General Assembly. He was described as satisfied with his mission to the U.N.—climaxed Monday by his 416-hour speech to the Assembly. The Cuban revolutionary lead er scheduled a series of prede parture conferences with Presi dent Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Neh ru of India, and President Gamal Adbel Nasser of the United Arab Republic. Castro’s departure was ex pected to ease the security bur den on New York’s harassed po lice force. Next to Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev, Castro has provided the biggest security headache because of emotions he aroused in friend and foe. Castro was one of the first U.N. visitors to arrive in New York, Sept. 18. His stay here has been marked by street riot ing, and the accidental slaying of a 9-year-old girl during a me lee among Cuban demonstrators. One of Eisenhower’s final ap pointments before returning to Washington was with Canadian Prime Minister John G. Diefen- baker. He also conferred with Cambodian and Ethopian repre sentatives and received their as surance of support for the United Nations as it now exists.

I’m a failure as a sophomore—I hate cigars.” Bomb Shelter Construction) Promoted in Bryan-CS Area* The outcome of a war between the United States and Russia will not depend on who has the most atomic weapons but who does the best job of survival, a top civil defense official said at a meeting with local civil de fense leaders. Welcome W. Wilson of Den ton, director of the Southwestern Regional Headquarters Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization, said the U. S. and Russia both have enough nuclear weapons to deal crippling blows. The prob lem is survival after an atomic attack. Wilson, a member of a team of state and federal civil de fense leaders, visited Bryan and College Station to promote in terest in construction of home fallout shelters by area citizens. The team is making a two- months tour to organize local shelter programs in 100 cities of the five-state southwestern region. “Operation 100,” as it is called, is to help the 100 cities in the formation of a local shelter and the construction of at least one demonstration shelter in each city. In Bryan and College Sta tion, as in other cities, the dem onstration model would be open to the public and used as a guide by private citizens in building their own home fallout shelter. National defense, Wilson said, is meaningless without civil de fense. To survive a nuclear at tack, the U. S. will need an in destructible government to pro vide leadership and an indestruct ible people through adequate numbers of fallout shelters. He said a home fallout shelter can justify its expense in more mays than one. It can serve as a spare bedroom, storage room, den, library, game room, sewing room, photography darkroom, etc. It does not need to be ex pensive and can be built of read ily available materials. The OCDM official said that the more home fallout shelters built in an area, the cheaper they will be in cost. He pre dicted that 10 years from now, no new home will be considered complete without a shelter. The state and federal group met in the Memorial Student Center with Bryan and College Station civil defense leaders. These included Brazos County Judge W. C. Davis; Joe Barron, chairman of the Brazos County Fallout Shelter Board Commit tee; Jake Cangelose, bounty civil defense director; John Hill, Col lege Station civil defense director, and Fred Sandlin, Bryan civil defense director. Another speaker, William C. Davis of Denton, southwestern regional fallout shelter engineer, said dangerous fallout is made up mostly of gamma radiation. Significant amounts of fallout usually do not arrive outside the blast area earlier than about one hour after an explosion. He said the average American home offers almost no protection from gamma radiation, hence the great need for adequate shelters. Effective and cheap materials for shelters are concrete, which should be at least 24 inches thick, or earthen fill 36 inches in thickness. Miss Mattie Treadwell of Aus tin, OCDM state co-ordinator for Texas, discussed furnishing a shelter. She said enough food and water should be provided for about two weeks. Family game projects and books are useful devices to avoid boredom. She said furniture should be simple and colors kept light to counteract a closed-in feeling. Other members of the state and federal team were James H. Garner of Austin, state co-ordi- nator of Defense and Disaster Relief for Texas, and Jack Har well of Denton, public affairs officer for the southwestern re gion. Garner said civil defense lead ers are seeking the participation and cooperation of numerous private and public groups in the cities they visit. These include home builders, contractors, real estate men, architects, manufac turers, suppliers, labor unions, churches, schools, civic clubs, women’s organizations and major business institutions, such as banks.

Kennedy in Ohio and Republican Richard M. Nixon in Tennessee. Also, Kennedy won the avowed support of Sen. Frank J. Lausche of Ohio, a canny judge of polit ical trends who doesn’t always line up with his fellow Demo crats. Nixon and his wife were treated to what he called an un forgettable sight as Memphis citizens turned out in the rain to welcome them South. Police Inspector J. C. Legg estimated that 60,000 lined the streets and a crowd of 25,000 listened to Nixon speak. Legg said the turnout was twice as big as Kennedy had last week in fair weather. Tennessee is normally Demo cratic but it went Republican in 1952 and 1956. It has 11 elec toral votes in the national total of 537. Ohio has 25 electoral votes, Republican more often than not. Yelling, waving, confetti-toss ing Clevelanders gave Kennedy his second tumultous welcome to their city this week. The crowd was rated even bigger than the estimated throng of 125,000 that cheered him at a steer roast on' Sunday. In Cleveland, where the popula tion contains many with close ties to Eastern European coun tries over-run by the Commun ists, Kennedy declared: “I say the people of Eastern Europe do not deserve to be forgotten, and I say they won’t be under a Democratic administration. “We must make it clear to all the world that we will never ac cept as a final solution Soviet colonialism in East Europe.” In Memphis, Nixon also re ferred to Soviet communism and suggested that while Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev is in this country, “let’s make Amer ica a shining light for all the world to see.” Nixon told the Tennesseans he supports his party’s platform, including its strong civil rights platform plank on federal civil rights legislation. The civil rights planks of both parties are widely opposed in the South. t Bring this ad for a FREE COKE or COFFEE The BARBECUE PIT North Gate Across from Aggieland Studios LET’S GET ACQUAINTED — YOU CAN WATCH T.
