The confusion of this world is man made, for "God is not a God of confusion, but of peace." You will probably ask: "If i Mi 1K bomb shelters. Why? Was it just a scheme so people would part with some money and erect monstrosities in their front or back yards? How much money did the government waste on this idea, which the people rejected?" We turn now to Congressman Lucien Nedzi, of the First District, who came in the other day for a chin-fest.

He is a member of the Armed Services Committee, which is responsible, in large degree, for the nation's defense. Question: Congressman, if there should be a nuclear war, how many casualties would we sustain? Answer: The best guess puts the fatalities somewhere In the neighborhood of 120,000,000. Question: Would a national shelter program materially reduce this figure Answer: Definitely perhaps by as much as SO or 40 per cent. However, it has been impossible to Impress upon the public the dangers of fall-out. That's what would kill the extra 80 or 40 per rent.

At the moment, for example, we are asked to weigh this question: Will Happy's baby, to be born in June, help or hinder the aspirations of her lawful wedded husband, Nelson Rockefeller? Will this demonstration of warm love thaw the cold voters, or will it cause still more housewives to curl their pretty lips and snap: "That man!" Poor Rocky!

Pardon me, but I find something vulgar in this willingness to flay a man because he has been through the marital wringer.

Mr. Nedzi, a Democrat who must seek re-election in a largely "strange" district because of reapportionment, has high regard for at least one Republican Secretary of Defense Robert McNa-mara.

He has "an amazing grasp" of the workings of his department and he is the only Cabinet officer who can appear before a Congressional committee without a platoon of aides and specialists. "The best man in our government." Tha t's the way Lucien Nedzi describes Robert McNamara. len Lumber treasures a sheaf of collection letters he received from an Eastern firm that automatically added to his orders. After several such experiences, he paid for only the two gross he'd ordered instead of the three they sent. Letters followed in a steady stream, ranging from the polite to the cajoling to the threatening and back again.
