է
Chicago, May 1.
An article in the bulletin' of "The Atomic Scientists" sug- gested today that danger from possible atom bomb attacks-on- the United States could
be sharply reduced by building clusters of small satellite towns instead of adding to big cities. Mr. Tracy Avgur, former Pre- sident of the American Institute of Builders and a leading town | planner, compared a concentrated elty of one million with a elty dispersed in a cluster of 20 units of 50,000 each and separated by four or five miles of open coun- try.
The chance of a direct bit on urban territory in the dispersed city would be only one-fith to one-fourteenth as great as on a concentrated elty, he claimed.

The general feeling here is that the report can only be regarded as satisfactory if it la accepted that Australia will not be in- volved in a war within the next five years.
