QuencieS. Roughly, the planners
figure they need information on
100 different items Of skills, equip
ment and supplies.
Also yet to be done are such
matters as fitting into the pic
ture the problems peculiar to the
Nations Capital and enlarging
the plans to include the Metro
politan area.
On the former score, the plan
ners point out that the Govern
ment departments, the White
House, and the Capitol can
simply be regarded as critical in
stallations for which special ar
rangements must be made, just as
Seattle has to arrange especially
for it's airplane plants and Pitts
burgh has to plan particularly for
protection of its steel mills. OF
course, the affected Federal
agencies get involved in this plan
ming. but the District has not
waited for them to complete their
security measures before going
ahead on its own.
AS for Washington being a part
of the Metropolitan Area. the
theory up to now has been that
the surrounding counties should
not be brought formally into the
picture until Washington's own
plans are more nearly complete.
Meanwhile, however, there have
been informal exchanges between
firemen, police and doctors, and
an air raid warning system has

how they would be used, as we'll
as the men, materials and sup
plies necessary to put civil de-
fense on a firmer footing.
Their proposals range from
microfilming all records of land
titles to reinforcing construction
to protect key communications
centers. They go into such ques-
tions as passes to get through
police lines, warning signs to show
what areas are safe and which
have been contaminated by lethal
particles from an atomic eXplo-
sion, arrangements to store extra
supplies at the city'S borders and
protection against sabotage.
According to District sources,
the public utilities also have
emergency plans for what they
would do with existing facilities
to minimize the damage after an
atomic explosion and make emer-
gency repairs.
While both the city agencies
and the public utilities could do
something now should a bomb
fall, there's still a lot to be done
in bringing together the other
organizations and individuals that
must be part of the overall plan.
For instance. the District Red
Cross, the District Medical Socie-
ty and the hospitals all have per-
sonnel and facilities that would
be used and have drafted various
plans for their use. So far, these
plans haven't reached a stage of
putting all the medical men and
materials into one set-up with a
single director. Medical and
health committees, however. are
working on that and other health
problems.
District officials believe they
have gone as far as they can go
until the $290,000 appropriation
they await comes out of Congress.
It's not only that they can't buy
equipment without money, but
also that they can't hire a civil
defense director.
They believe the point has been
reached where a number of basic
Evening star., 1950-08-15
Here's How Washington Leading Preparing Plans for Civilian Defense

Legislation enabling the District
to make mutual aid arrangements
for fire protection with nearby
Maryland and Virginia counties
was signed by the President yes
terday. A similar bill for mutual
police protection is now being de-
veloped.
New Bill Being Drafted.
Comprehensive legislation to
insure full powers for the city to
take all necessary steps before,
during and after an emergency,
is being drafted. This would re-
place the old Blackout Act, which
applies only after a declaration Of
war and probably would replace
the newly signed civil defense
legislation.
On the training side, District
representatives have been sent to
half a dozen special courses in
atomic, archaeological and chem
ical warfare. Their training will
be used not only in advising the
planners but also in training
others.
Here's now Col. Hayes sums up
the Districts present status in
civil defense:
1--WE have workable plans in the
fields of primary concern. Month
by month, these plans will be
improved and put into action
where advance measures should
be taken. We know where we're
going and how to go about 1t.
Evening star., 1950-08-15

decisions have to be made which
should be left to the man who
will ultimately have to translate
them into action-the Districts
yet-to- be chosen civil defense di-
rector.
For instance, there's the ques-
ton of the school buildings. Ten
different planning committees in
clude the schools in their plans.
The schools have been claimed as
mess halls, dormitories. shelter
areas, emergency hospitals, first
aid stations and control centers.
Somebody must determine the
most effective use of each school
and every other large structure
including auditoriums and hotels.
Water a Problem.
Then there's the matter Of wa
ter. The Water Department wants
to shut off the water temporarily
when warning comes of an atomic
attack so it can keep water from
being lost through broken pipes
and mains. The Fire Department
figures on that water to fight
fires. The answer to that one
probably will call for development
of a supplementary source of wa
ter from the rivers or creeks.
There's also the question of
determining which plans should
be given priority, but the main
problem awaiting the director is
the matter of making one whole
out of the 80 different plans.
One of the first pieces of ad-
vice handed out by NSRB was for
cities to take stock of their re-
sources. Washington went ahead
and did that-up to a point. Now
the officials have run up against
the question of money again
specifically, money to hire the
people to make a survey of what
exists outside the public agencies
The planners want to know
how many trained operators Of
heavy equipment could be called
on, how many bulldozers are in
the city. the stocks of plumbing
wrecking and electrical supplies,
how many radio hams" operate
in this vicinity and on what fire.
Evening star., 1950-08-15

been set up to cross the Maryland
border. There also has been a
close working arrangement be-
tween 1t. Col. David G. Mcintosh,
the Maryland civil defense direc-
tor, and 1t. Col. Thomas j. Hayes,
the acting Engineer Commissioner
now overseeing the planning job.
Now, District planners feel, the
time has come to get together
with spokesmen for the neighbor-
ing communities looking toward
a Metropolitan Area organization
that will ignore boundary lines.
That will be one of the major
chores for the civil defense di-
rector.
In addition to planning, and
getting the necessary legislation,
these steps have been taken:
An aircraft observation post
has been set up, to be manned
during an emergency and in
training exercises.
Warning Phone Connected.
The telephone over which air
raid warnings would come has
been connected and is now tested
daily. This is the point from
which warning of attack would be
sent throughout the District and
into five Maryland counties.
Plans and specifications for a
civil defense headquarters and
necessary equipment have been
drawn up so that bids can be let
as soon as the money comes from
Congress.

The paper attack was specific
about casualties and damage. 1t
specified, for instance. that GER
tain bridges were knocked out,
certain highways blocked with
rubble. Police headquarters with
its communications network was
out of action, three police pre-
cinct stations were destroyed, the
fire departments central commu-
nications system was knocked out
and so were some fire stations.
The problem: How would civil
defense forces be dispersed during
the hour between the warning
and the attack, and what would
they do after the attack to mini
mize the damage?
Out of that maneuver-held
early in June-the city planners
got a good idea of the effective
ness of the plans they had drawn
Up for just such an emergency. A
team of experts from the Ma
tional Security Resources Board
went over their plans with them
at week-long 'critique."
Gives d. c. Firm Foundation.
A similar exercise held later in
Seattle gave the District planners
a chance to make some more re-
visions, so they are now in the
position of being able to plan
more concretely than any other
place in the country except, per-
haps. Seattle.
Like every place else, they could
use some more Federal guidance
but they have not been sitting on
their hands waiting for it. Some
30 different plans. from all the
different agencies involved in civil
defense. are in various stages of
preparation.
The police plan, according to
District sources, is perfected now
to the point where they know who
Is going to do what and where
in an emergency.
Like all the other plans in the
works at the District Building, the
police plan has not been officially
approved. But it covers just about
everything police might be ex-
pected TO do, as we'll as what is
needed in the way of more men
and materials to be effective.
For instance, as the plan was
outlined in June, an assistant su-
perintendent would serve as field
commander" at the scene of an
atomic attack; off-duty policemen
would be alerted by radio broad
casts to get to the stations nearest
their homes. A Gordon would ,be
formed around the affected areas
Walkie-talkieS would be used fol-
communications Those are just g
few samples of a much more de-
tailed plan.

Many a girl makes the mistake
of hiding sterling qualities be-
hind a facade of garish makeup
and an overfussy hair style. Un-
fortunately, the world has no time
to find the jewel of her PERSONAL
ity behind the fake front and
with raised eyebrows her public
quickly checks her off as taste
less and uninformed.
Not so with the real charmer!
The best facets of her personality
are always presented in their most
natural setting-of that she
makes certain. This does not mean
that she let's her hair fly and
throws her lipstick brush out the
window. 1t would be as unnatural
for her to give the impression that
she doesn't care how she looks to
others as anything that she could
do. Indifference to others never
wins.
Do you want to make certain
that your face is telling the truth
the whole truth and nothing but
the truth about you? Look into
your mirror and ask yourself a
few searching questions. Your own
honest answers will show you how
to put the best face on your
personality.
l. Does your foundation match
your skin? If it does, you're a
step ahead. If it doesn't, no mat
ter how well you apply it, it will
look false.
2. Does your powder show? If
it doesn't you're two steps ahead.
II it does, it will belle any dewy
quality your skin owns. Always
brush the excess off with quick,
downward strokes.
8. Can people tell you are wear
ing rouge? I hope not. because
rouge can be a loud talker. Here's
a fool-proof test: Gently pinch a
spot on the side Of your arm until
the color appears and try a pinch
Of your rouge near it. If you
haven't got a match. I don't have
to tell you what the next step is,
except to be sure to use your new
rouge sparingly.
4. Is your lipline clean? 1t must
be Since lipstick is the only cos
metic that may appear obvious,
its application must obviously be
