Architects DesigmUN Home Without Atom Bomb Defenses Bj HOWARD W. B LAKES LEE A F ScMBca Editor NEW YORK ? The new home of the United Nations is going to !>? built without defenses against atom bombs. Completion is planned by the latter part of 1950. The main building, like a deck of cards standing on end, will be t 39 stories, 500 feet high, and e? pecially vulnerable in one way. fifvert room is to be on the out side, and more than most rfruo tures, this skyscraper is designed as a vast pile of windows. They are the danger point. Atom bomto would shatter this glass and turn it into jagged, flying shraphel. A bomb withia a mile prob ably would imutk every Win dow, from top to bottdm, and os both lidoi. At two milos moat of tbo windows might go. And lotto would bo broken at greater distance*, in n ambers largo enouf k to moaooo Wo. Atom-bomb proofing was not eevfeidered in the plans. Wallace K. Harrison, chief architect of this World capital, said: "I think the United Nations might be regarded as a sanctuary from bombs/' A handicap is the fact that surrounding Manhattan Island, far from being a sanctuary, is one of the world's best targets for the thfcg that an atomic bomb does I best, namely, disruption of busi ness, finance, leadership and pro duction. The new capital is rising five miles north of the flnandlal district, which is one lasciotts bomb target. Five miles is enough protection. Bwt this great struc ture is a part of mid-town, which also h a prise target. The. budd ings are at the edge of mid-town, not far enough for protection. Tbo United Nation* mifht bare chosen a style of archi tecture reported by both the Manhattan District arid the United State# strategic bombing ?e*v?y, m butt ding that would bare boon safo at half a milo or a little loss. This would bare boon windowless, but ao details bare boon given out. The moral effect of the peace capital pioneering a bomb-proof building has not been discussed. But a point of view not dissimilar is sponsored by the United States Atomic Energy Commission. This is advice to keep in mind that the strongest defense is the best edu cated population. The eoittmissiorters have recom mended buildings where the em | ptjtfti* n on improved service and utility, because those improve ments automatically carry some a&jjttanal protection ftfainst atom The new building of the Unit ed Nations is in one way an etartijrte of what the Mmmii ' e#Un. means.
