The dreaded warning
siren sounds.
You can't believe 1t has
really happened. You re-
member to switch on the
transistor radio.
Fortunately the whole
family is at home. And you
keep close together as you
rush down the stairs to the
fallout shelter - the room
that served you so we'll as a
quiet place to study.
You bolt the heavy door.
And then you wait.
Supplies for your fight for
survival have been laid in
we'll in advance. Your fam
lily took the warnings about
being prepared for this
emergency seriously back
when everybody was talking
about it.
Your world is silent now.
And you wait.
You be gin wondering
about your high school
classmates. Where are they
right now? Have they found
shelter somewhere? Were
they even at home when it
happened?
All you can do is think.
And wonder. And wait.
You remember those dis
cussions you had with your
friends in high school back
in November, 1861. You
were caught up in the ma
tional concern over fallout
shelters. Your classmates
were debating its merits. 1t
was a favorite conversation
topic, and everybody had
an opinion.

HERE'S WHAT THEY SAY

If you had to spend two
or three weeks in a fallout
shelter, som cone asked,
what do you think you
would miss most from the
outside world?
Believe it or not" Alison
LuchS. an eighth-grader at
Alice Deal Junior High in
the District, said. I'D miss
school because life would
get pretty dull in a fallout
shelter. And I'd miss my
friends - going out and
doing things. School gives
you something to do. You
don't have to worry about
what you're going to do
next"
Jeremy Kahn, an eighth
grader at Arlington's Ken
more Junior High, said, Il
would miss the freedom of
movement. I'd find it diff
ficult to stay cooped up for
a long period of time"
Jackie Miller, another
eighth-grader at Deal, said,
I'D just miss being outside
in the fresh air. Sometimes
we forget how much that
really means to US"
Most of your friends said
they would miss mainly the
very things they usually
take for granted-including
their friends. And as you
wait in your fallout shelter
you realize how true that is.
You remember, also, those
panel discussions various
groups held on the fallout
shelter question - such as
the one sponsored by the
Temple Teens of the Wash
ington Hebrew Congrega-
ton.

Sharing Shaky
Lead in Golf

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. az
(AP). - Arnold Palmer, the
National Open champion. and
a flock of other par-smashing
pros were hot on the trail of
a pair of unlikely first-round
leaders today in the San Fran
cisco International golf tour
nament.
Stocky Charlie Sifford, the
only Negro playing on the pro-
fessional tour, and 240-pound
George Bayer, one Of the long
est hitters in the game, shot
six-under-par 65s yesterday
over the rain-soaked Harding
Park course to grab the lead by
a stroke. 1 ~
Right behind them with b6s
were Palmer, the Nations big
gest money winner In 1880;
Billy Casper, Ted Kroll, Doug
Ford, John Brodie, San Fran
cisco Forty Miner quarterback,
and Stan Leonard, the Cana
dian veteran. tt -
Rosburg Shoots 81
And chasing them at 81 was
steady Bobby Rosburg, winner
of the Bing Crosby tournament
at Pebble Beach last week and
now playing some Of the best
golf Of his career.
Some of the sharpest young
golfers in the business were
in contention with 68s, notably
Dave Ragan and Tommy Aaron.
Also at SO were Don January,
Fred Hawkins, Ernie Vossler
and veteran Mike Souchak.
Sifford, 175-pound Los Ange-
les pro. has won such recent
events as the Almaden and
Long Beach Opens, but has
never taken top money in any
of the big events. At 38, he is
playing fine golf.
Bayer. former University Of
Washington football tackle,
hasn't been in the winners
circle since last March when
he won the st. Petersburg
Open. The 35-year-old power
hitter took first money in the
Canadian Open in 1857.
Break in Weather
The weather, which gave the
players a break in the first
round after drenching the
6,672-yard par 36-35 course
Wednesday, was in an uncer-
tain stage with another storm
off the California Coast.
Many players had trouble
yesterday with the wet greens,
which were soft and became
very lumpy from trampling as
players worked them over. And
because of the rain-soaked
fairways some hitters found
themselves approaching short.
