European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 22, 1950, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes shelters must withstand pressure up to 50 pounds per Square Inch a i by Joseph Miler would be easy to design shelters thai would protect occupants from an bomb exploding feet directly but such shelters would be they would have to be of such massive construction that they could withstand pressures up to 50 pounds per Square when you consider that most manmade structures cant stand up under pressures of More than two loss pounds above atmospheric per Square youll understand Why the government says ii of another matter 10 redesign Clates to withstand these a a matter of the govern ment considers it impractical to undertake mass Protection of people and buildings closer than half a mile to an atomic expo in the newly published the effects of atomic the government that Protection is feasible beyond half a blast and Shock to give designers a Clear idea of what there designing the government goes and technically into the nature of atomic blast and assume an atomic burst feet in the the height at which a nominal1 bomb equal to tons of int will do the most for a split fraction of a pressure at the explosion is hundreds of thousands of times greater than it drops quickly but continues High enough to wreck or damage buildings for about 10 by that time it has gone a Little More than what accomplishes this wreck age is air so called Shock which is a Fastov hard hitting Wall of Corn pressed it engulfs and lifetime is about 30 seconds by the end of which it has lost the Power to Hurt some buildings can stand up against atomic Shock fairly close to the target in b u i n is survived at smokestacks of reinforced because of their did even i and the government believes be made to destruction half a mile or farther from the in what a building must have to live massiveness plus plus strength of plus a lot of Interior bracing and requirement at half a mile for Protection against radiation As Well As Shock is reinforced Concrete Walls two feet if the Walls Arent that thick they can be buttressed for shelter purposes with blast Walls incur ported into the  showed the strongest buildings Are those of heavily framed steel and reinforced the weakest Are the she Type commercial buildings with Light frames and Long spans of unsupported Brick buildings with Load bearing Walls fared poorly because they lacked resilience Well constructed Frame houses showed Good the Book says heavy Concrete military installations or be built that would stand up except at extremely close not recommend reconstruct in of an entire City along Sucic it conclude that whatever you do to a the breakage of and destruction of Light portions roust be August such buildings might survive the Empire state building would be quite resistant to atomic bombing though it is taller than the idea bomb resistant the fact that it was built to Sway a Little would help it

structures no More than 100 feet but we do not think a building that is three times As High would be three times As the spokesman resist pressure in to stand up against buildings should be Able to resist pressures of 90 pounds per Square toot on the and 70 pounds per Square foot on the atomic air blasts consist of a giant blow followed by More or less steady plus a net squeezing of
