1 100 Sailors Spend
^ Two Weeks In
Y Fallout Shelter
1 WASHINGTON UFi — Grinninj
r happily and blinking in the un
accustomed brilliant sunlight, 1(H
1 sailors emerged Saturday Iron
J two weeks in an experimenta
1 underground nuclear falloul
shelter.
t The volunteers, all but a few ol
J them recently out of Navy basic
• training, formed into lines and
! marched to a nearby building at
the Bethesda, Md., Naval Medical
1 Center for a preliminary check on
* their health and psychological
“ condition.
1 Capt. David Minard, of Fargo,
N.D., a Navy doctor who spent
t the full two weeks with the men.
I was well pleased with the ex
t periment.
Minard said that throughout the
two weeks in the 25 by 48 foot
underground shelter, there were
“absolutely no disciplinary prob
lems, no major medical prob
lems.”
•In answer to a question, Min
ard said possibly the greatest
problem was food. He explained
the men subsisted on experiment
al rations for use in fallout
shelters and said “this generated
a great number of complaints.”
The men were out of touch with
the rest of the world, just as
thousands of Americans might be
if there were a nuclear attack on
the United States.
“We succeeded in proving that
it is possible for 100 men to live
in there for two weeks and come
out in good condition.”
Ten minutes before the men
emerged, a group of Navy offi
cials went into the shelter. From
them, the sailors learned for the
first time that astronaut John
Glenn had made his famous orbital
flight.

“One day the President sent me *
a letter. It said, ‘come to Cape

“I started to the airport. I got
to Cape Canaveral by three planes. 1
“The President was by a big :
rocket ship. 1
“He said, ‘you must fly to the j
moon.’
“I said, ‘at my age? I am only j
8 years old.’
“The President said, ‘good. We *
need someone at your age.’
“After I called my mother she £
said, ‘anything for the President.’ 2
“So three days later I got into 2
my space ship. I was sent to the c
moon. I set down my space ship.
I saw a moon man. s
“I liked him and he liked me.
“We went back to earth. i
