dhe Oshawa Tunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E, Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesdoy, March 22, 1960 Atom Shelter In Home At Reasonable Cost' 'How far should governments go to force or induce people to take steps for their own protection against the possi- bility of nuclear attack? That question is now being debated in New York State, and here is the comment of the New York Times: It has been uphill work to convince the people of the United States, or of New York, that they can and should pre- pare themselves to survive a nuclear attack. Governor Rockefeller has made it his mission and persisted in his con- cern to awaken and inform the people of the dangers of attack and the prac- tical possibilities of large-scale protect- tion from radioactive fall-out. Now Keith 8. McHugh, as chairman of the Governor's Committee on Fall- Out Protection, has delivered a new report of exhaustive study to provide a workable program. This program com- bines legal compulsion and tax-relief inducement to reach by scheduled dates the objective of a fall-out shelter in every home, new and old, as well as limited protection in schools, places of business and other buildings. Unwarranted anxiety - about the cost of building shelters in the home has handicapped progress. But it is found, and supported by architectural studios, that costs of home shelters for all the people of New York State should not exceed an average of $50 to $75 per person. The cost can vary and with the degree of comfort individually wanted. But few will now argue that they can- not afford to prepare to save their lives at this price tag. The McHugh Committee brought to its study a saving common sense. It centres the protection program on the home and family, as the natural unit to emphasize. The program relies on the theory that people will go home, from wherever they the maximum possible extent in are, to the event of an attack. Is it unreasonable to expect the citi- zen of New York State to spend up to $100, more or less--which he may get back in tax rebate---to build himself a shelter that may save his life? Is it un- reasonable to expect that he will do so in existing places of residence by July 1, 1963, and in new homes started after Jan. 1, 1962? We think it reasonable, feasible. It 1s Mr, McHugh says, "that we should continue in our present state of almost complete unthinkable, as civilian unpreparedness against nuclear attack." His report amply demonstrates that we need not continue unprepared, unless we prefer to live recklessly. Why Ike Backs Dick President Eisenhower has given his official blessing to Vice-President Nixon as his choice for the Republican nom- ination as presidential candidate. Many readers may have been puzzled by the fact that it was apparently news that "lke Backs Dick". They had taken it for granted. The layman may be excused in feel- ing that only announcement of presi- dential opposition to the Vice-President would have made "man-bites-dog" news, the Christian Science Monitor eom- ments. Mr. Eisenhower's support for Mr. Nixon had been assumed -- especially since it would be hard to find any serious rival. The layman could even argue that the announcement ehanges nothing. Yet almost imperceptibly it does. Mr. Eisen- hower has avoided handicapping Mr. Nixon with a "hand-picked" successor" label such as Jackson put on Van Buren. But his personal endorsement will hamper efforts to make it appear that Eisenhower op- posite wings of the Republican Party. The Democrats would be happy to drive such a wedge and some Republicans and Nixon represent have appeared ready to help them. At the same endorsement, coming this early and this clear, can give Mr. Nixon considerable freedom time the to develop his own program. Probably, however, he will defer that step until after the eonvention. He has just been chided by Senator Kennedy for taking to the hustings. But Mr. Nixon is not under the same necessity as the senator to develop popular support for the nomination. Indeed some Demo eratic candidates apparently feel that so long as Congress is in session their work there is their first duty and best not recommendation to voters. Certainly once the nominations are made Mr. Nixon will be under obliga- tion to discuss the issues fully.

It means the export of art and artists at a lower price, to the importer, the would obtain in their domestic market. than same persons or products The Peking Opera company will sing in Vancouver next August and probably in other North American cities. It may happen that these Oriental performers will score a success at the box-office and show a profit. What is clear is that the Peking government will make good the losses, if any, the Financial Post points out. In other words, this projection of Chinese culture is subsidized.

Its mini- mum expenses, including travel costs and pay for the dancers, are $10,000 a week; so it can't go unless some bene- volent friend, private or public, puts up the difference. The offer of $6,000 a week is a com- pliment to Canada's ballet performers. Latin America can enjoy the music of the New York Philharmonic for $5,000 a week; not because this famous orches- tra costs less to run than our National Ballet but because the State Depart- ment at Washington has a fund that pays the deficits. with limited let other The Canada Council, means, is doing its best to countries know that Canada has interest- ing and skillful actors and other artists; but doesn't go far enough to match enter- prises like the Peking opera's visit. musicians, painters, its income The government would do well to increase its spending in aid of Canadian art that can travel. Benefits to the nation, in the way of enhanced prestige, would be substantial; and the cost would 'be only a few cents per head.

"question period" has now become a dragged-out "conversation hour" with "orders of the day" seem- ing to visitors like unseemly "disorder in the House". The rules say that questions to ministers must be submitted in writing; the replies are then in due course printed in the Han- sard record of debates, but not normally given orally. This ab- sorbs no time of the House. As an exception, where it is desir- able to obviate the delay of a few days: caused by this method, questions may be asked orally on matters of urgent national im. portance. Canadians may draw a flatter- ing but incorrect assessment of the importance of their daily problems, from the number of questions considered by the pres- ent Speaker to measure up lo this standard.

Although a Conservative him- self, he can be rough on mem- pers of his own party; although at one time freely tipped for the cabinet, he can be tough on his colleagues who now sit wrehe he might have sat on the treasury benches Mr. Speaker is often selective in rebuking one of the now fre- quent interruptions, The official Hansard record of debate re- cently recorded three such inter- ruptions: Mr. Grafftey: 1935, we do." Mr. Hees: diner." Mr. Chevrigr: "You were in diapers then. Mr. Speaker: "Order. ¥ the Hon. member for Brome - Mis. sissquoi (Mr. Grafftey) needs time to cool down, perhaps he can find it outside the House." This rebuke unfairly ridiculed the young Conservative, while disregarding the puerile com- ment by ex - minister Chevrier and the contribution by Mr. Hees. Three days later the Speaker addressed his selective rebuke to a cabinet minister, Hon. David Walker, although other and longer interruptions pass without comment.
