The Russians do not have
the technical abilities nor the
facilities to stockpile the
bombs; just look at their at

this is a much more complicat-

mobiles.
One scientist predicted that
the Russians can produce
about one hundred bombs in
one year. They cannot make
the bomb any faster than the

Speedup in Donations
Urged for Symphony
Drive in Final 5 Days

A speedup in public donations
TO the National Symphony sus-
tanning fund was urged last
night. as campaign leaders warned
only five days remain before the
drive is scheduled to close.
1--WE know we will succeed in
our drive" Chairman Emerson
Meyers declared. "but we must
have the assistance of every resi-
dent of the city to do it." The
drive, which seeks $4,000, at
last report had reached only IS
per cent of this goal.
While optimistic, drive leaders
nevertheless believe that "the
public must realize the serious
ness of the situation and that the
life of the orchestra, in fact, does
depend entirely on the drive and
the response to it by the general
public" Mr.. Meyers continued.
More Subscribers Sought.
"The National Symphony is the
only cultural organization in the
city maintained by public sub
scription. Washington has no
opera, no theater, but we do have
an orchestra and we must main
tain it," Mr.. Meyers said.
A large number of contributors
lightened the burden on all, the
drive chairman pointed out. He
said an average of $40 would be
needed from each donor if the
same number gave as last year,
when there were over 5000 con-
tributors. But he emphasized that
at least three times this number
is being sought this year.
Two of the prominent guest
conductors engaged for the orches-
ira next season urged support for
the drive in kilograms made pub
lie by Mr.. Meyers last night.
Support Urged.
Dmitri Mitropoulos, director of
the Minneapolis Symphony and
co-conductor of the New York
Philharmonic for next year, de-
clared:
''The Importance of carrying on
the proud traditions of the Ma
tional Symphony cannot be meas
ured. Your cause deserves all
possible support. Please accept
my warmest wishes for an out
standing success in your cam
paign."
Ernest Ansermet, Swiss conduc-
tor who led the Philadelphia and
NBC orchestras this year, wired:
II am sure that the music loving
people of the Capital of the worlds
greatest Nation will whole-heart-
edly support your aims, making
your present endeavor a success"
Final scheduled report meeting
IN the drive will be at 1890 pm
Friday at the Mayf1ower Hotel.

ture, so his winter must be spent
trying to find the skimpy rations of
the barren lands, dwarf willow herb
tea leaves, rye grass, withered ber-
ries. No wonder that by spring the
hare is gaunt and weary.
Against his foes his only protec-
ton is speed and some of his
enemies are long -winded, so have
advantage. Besides, hares can
swim if need be, though the deep,
cold water is never willingly
entered.
Arctic hares are solitary travellers.
During early spring they broadcast
for a mate. The proof of the ef-
fectiveness of the message is attest
ed by the appearance of as many
as a dozen amber-eyed females.
1t is believed the two to six young
are born in their mothers favorite
haunts. No one has as yet reported
anything like a prepared nursery
for hare babies. They are alert anG
wide awake from birth. Independ-
ent and husky they are, with no
idea of running home for protec-
ton.
At this age they can be tanned.
They are quick to learn to beg and
express anger by slapping the
offender with forefoot.

A. Hybrid means the offspring of
two animals or plants of different

word has a curious origin. It is
from the Latin hybrida, "the OFF,

When perfect play meets the pest
defense the spectator is in for a
treat. One of the best battles OF
wits 1 have seen at the card table
in a long time took place when this
hand was played in recent club
game.
While the final contract is rea-
sonable enough, there are those who
will take issue with the manner in
which it was reached. South's
opening bid of one no-trump is well
chosen. He holds one Of the no
trump type distributions with 18
points, and most of its strength Is
In the minors. Furthermore, it is
desirable to become declarer on this
hand to be sure that the spade
king will not be attacked on the
opening lead.
North's raise to two no-trump Ger
tainly contained nothing to spare.
The hand contained seven points in
high cards, one short of regulation
figures. But to compensate, there Is
O. five-card suit and the presence OF
two los.
The four of spades was opened
and the 10 drove out the king. IL
can be seen at a glance that there
are nine tricks eventually available
to declarer, but time operates
against him because the adverse
spades will be established before he
has driven out both aces. There
is onlv one way to win the hand
and that is to sneak through a
heart trick while the other spade
stopper is still held. If deciarer
attempts to set up the clubs flrst
the ace will be taken and the spades
cleared. Now declarer has only
eight tricks, while the ace OF hearts
still remains at large.
Declarer acted quickly in an effort
to find the defense off guard. At
trick two he led the deuce OF hearts.
West started to play second hano
low. as a matter of course, but
caught himself just in time to in
uuire, "Why is declarer attacking
the heart suit to the neglect OF the
fiye-card club suit in dummy, OF
which I hold the ace?" Analysis
soon made it clear that declarer was
trying to engineer bit OF sneak
thievery. If West rushed in with
the ace of hearts he could clear the
spades while he still held the CLUB
ace. and without club trick it was
highly unlikely that declarer could
score nine tricks.
West accordingly took the trick
and returned the spade. East
naturally unblocked with the jack
and there was no way to fulfill con-
tract. Had West ducked the heart
lead the queen would have held the
trick and declarer would have pro-

ARCTIC HARE
(LepuS drcticiS.l

Arctic hares are hardy residents
Of North Baffin Land, solitary trav-
elers of the Arctic snow fields. Most
of the year they wear a snowy coat.
The summers are too short to don
the soft gray-to-brown one. Chang
ing from one color phase to another
is not accomplished in day. The
color change takes place over
weeks. The reason for the white
in winter and gray or brown in
summer is for the protection of the
harmless little beast who is the
target of owls and gyrfalcons, who
attack from the air, and weasels,
bears, foxes, wolves, wolverines and
others. Little wonder the hare is
such a nervous creature, ready TO
leap into the air at any moment,
having no established home where
he can feel safe and protected.
Arctic hares are known to favor
