He Favors Cotton Not Concrete for Air Raid Shelters
Washington AP E C Wallace a New York engineer proposed seven foot thick cotton to resist bomb penetration. He claimed a 7000 pound bomb from 30 000 feet would be stopped by cotton while six feet of reinforced concrete would fail against a 2000 pound bomb from 14 000 feet. The cotton would be fireproofed and may defeat incendiaries. Wallace’s concept drew enthusiastic interest from cotton state congress members with plans for 200 foot spans and roofed with baled cotton and steel netting.
