The idea of government aid for the construction of private, family shelters, collapsed under a barrage of public and legislative criticism. Now U.S. President John F. Kennedy has put forward new plan for community shelter. Inherent, in this plan, Americans are convinced; is a dynamism, which could have profoundly divisive effects on many segments of the national life, as the author of this article points out in this article. The hardest thing to gauge about the shelter program, but ultimately the most important for the future of the political and social life is the effect upon the citizen and his political attitudes.
