Star Staff Writer

Several hundred thousand
men registered for the draft in
Maryland, Virginia and the
District have been alerted in
the past week to the possibil-
ity they will be called to duty.
But, in spite Of increased
draft quotas announced by the
Defense Department for Au-
gust and September, only a
relatively small number of
draft registrants in the area
will actually be called.
In the District alone, there
are 100000 draft registrants
but only 10000 are in the la
claSsification-Subject to i'm
mediate draft.
Last week only about 200 Of
10000 la draft candidates
were actually in the draft ELI
gible pool, consisting Of la
candidates who have been tex
amined and accepted" and are
considered ready for immedi-
ate induction. AS many as half
of the entire 10,000-man la
group are subject to reclassifi-
cation on a variety of grounds,
including student defermentS
and inability to pass pre-in-
duction physical examinations.

West opened the kind OF
diamonds, and Mr.. Solomon
had no trouble winning all thir-
teen tricks. If necessary, he
could ruff hearts three times
in his own hand and still draw
trumps. after which dummy
would be good. Actually, East
played the ace of hearts on the
first round of that suit, simpli-
flying the play.
If the general had insisted
on a heart contract, he would
have lost two heart tricks, MAX
ing any slam contract impos-
Sible.
In tournament bridge. every
hand is played more than once.
In the chief pair champion
ships the hands may be played
several hundred times, each
time by four different people.
A players tournament score
depends not on the cards he
holds but on how well he does
with them, compared to other
players who hold exactly the
same cards.
Because of the scoring method
used, tournament experts often
take enormous risks to score
an extra trick or to play a hand
at no trump instead of with the
protection Of a trump suit. In
some ways it's like a baseball
game in which every batter
aims tor the fence at each
swing.

Traffic Fatalities
In Area Decline
For 1861 Period

Traffic deaths in the Wash
ington area dropped sharply
during the first half of 1861.
despite an increase in the total
of accidents.
Failure Of drivers to yield
the right-of-way and follow
ing another vehicle too closely
are two main reasons why ac-
cidents jumped eight percent
over the same period last year.
In spite of the increase, how
ever, the number Of persons
killed dropped IL per cent,
from 1l3 to 66, according to
figures released in a report by
the Metropolitan Area Traffic
Council.
The number of pedestrians
among this years fatalities also
decreased, too, registering a %
per cent decline, from 40 to 81,
while the number of pedestrians
injured dropped seven per cent,
from 1879 to 1887.
Although accidents in the
District rose 8 percent to 10,857
"a little less than half the
total for the Metropolitan area
the number of persons killed
dropped 81 per cent, from A
to 10. The number of pedes-
trians killed in the District de-
clined from "a to II, more

Crime Study
ByDuncon

John B. Duncan, sworn in as
the first Negro District Com
missioner this week, gave
strong backing yesterday to a
proposal for a depth study of
the causes of Washington
crime.
The study, he said in an in
terview on wTOP-TV's City
Side, should cover cultural, eco
nomic and psychological fac
tors and go far beyond strictly
crime matters.
UNLESS we dig deeply. we
will never know the causation, "
he said. The study, suggested
by Commissioner Walter N.
Tobriner, viii be handled BY
six Washington universities
when they obtain funds.
May Bring Surprises
Without specifically mem
tioning racial matters. Mr..
Duncan said such a depth study
could produce surprises. He
said, for example, that some
people have myths" about
other people and tend to cat
egorize" them.
Mr.. Duncan said one ap-
proach might be to see that
qualified persons are not re-
quired to hold inferior jobs and
thus deprive less talented per-
sons of work opportunity.
There are many unskilled
jobs that skilled men are hold
ing right now" he said. The
result, he said, is that some
persons "at the lowest rung"
seem to have nothing to do.
Decries Color Note
Asked specifically about Neg
ro crime and welfare statistics,
Mr.. Duncan agreed the fig:res
existed but said programs to
eliminate such problems should
be geared "for the entire city,"
He observed, along this line,
that as people work together
on common problems they soon
tend to forget the other persons
color.
Il will be the happiest man
in Washington" he said, when
people forget that I happen to
be a Negro"

on fallout shelters, reported a
siege Of inquiries.
One, who hadn't SOLD a
shelter in the past year and
considered it a sideline to his
contracting business, said he
has signed UP five customers
since Wednesday and has his
secretary working overtime this
week END to handle the calls.
800 Per Cent Increase
Before the Tuesday speech,
local civil defense Offices aver
aged fewer than half a dozen
calls daily. Since Wednesday
most reported a 500 per cent
increase.
The sharp increase in citizen
interest has been accompanied
at the same time by step-ups
in civil defense planning efforts
both here and nationally,
officials said.
Above the furry of activity,
however, looms one big uues-
tion: How long will the Nation
remain alert? Veteran defense
workers note events like the
Presidents speech have ignited
similar reactions before. They
flickered and died.
Meanwhile. as Col. Norman
Hartman, Alexandria civil de-
fense co-ordinator, said, the
Presidents speech "has civil
defense booming" and civil de-
fense workers are making the
most of it.
Questions Raised
The questions most fire.
quently asked: How do I get a
fallout shelter? Who can build
it for me? What'll I put in it?
How do I live in it?
Next are inquiries about local
civil defense procedures: What
do you do when the sirens go
off?
Also frequent are offers of
volunteer help in civil defense.

is for fallout shelters. only
about 125 family fallout shell
ters are believed to exist in the
Washington area, most of them
in the District.
This estimate, officials stress,
Is conservative because the fam
lilies who have shelters usually
don't discuss them.
One reason may be ambar-
rassment, but a stronger one
is the desire to avoid an on
slaught Of panic stricken
neighbors in case of attack.
Why have a fallout shelter?
The answer is fallout-radio-
active dust-can kill you.
While fallout from a blast
on Washington would ordinar-
lily drift northward, a West
Coast nuclear attack would
shower fallout across the Ma
tion. officials say.
Why not a plain, old-fash-
Toned bomb shelter? Practically
impossible. defense officials
say. A District resident seek
ing to protect himself from a
20-megaton nuclear blast would
have to build his shelter some
400 feet underground.
Booklets Available
Key weapon in the civil de-
tense arsenal is a battery of
more than 20 information book
lets. BY far the best seller
Maryland and Kentucky have
asked for $4,000 copies of it
since Wednesday - is the
OCDM's publication MP-15,
The Family Fallout Shelter"
For a dime, the 32-page
booklet tells how to build one
in your basement, or above
ground, includes plans, how to
equip it, and how to live in it.
In addition, the booklet has
a check list of important de-
tails to discuss with a contrac-
tor in negotiating for a shelter.
Most local civil defense Of
fices decline to recommend a
contractor. They can, however,
refer to an OCDM roster of
shelters meeting Federal rec
concentrations, and to their
own lists of area contractors
willing to build them.
Other publications include
guides for Washington area
civil defense procedures and for
family action for home protec-
ton. 4

They saw the miracles Of

Capitol Hill, the Kalorama

Cities
/ and People
Making
Miracles
By ROBERT J. LEWIS

By ROBERT J. LEWIS
IN THIS GREAT big world
l. it sometimes seems that
one person means almost
nothing.
How can what one person
does be at all important?
The other day we heard a
little speech that referred
to this question.
The speaker was pointing
out that thinking and acting
can't be done collectively"
Groups of people working
together can achieve big re-
suits. But they've got to act
and think individually.
Action is individual, the
speaker said. Results are
collective"
He quoted Arnold Toyn-
bee, the famous British his
torian, on this. The quota
ton was so persuasive that
we went to the book and
copied it down.
"All human thought takes
place in some single human
mind" said Mr.. Toynbee.
"There is no other place
for it to occur.
collective thought, feel
ing and action are non-ex-
istent.
"The only real actions,
feelings and thoughts are
those of individual human
beings.
collective action is fic-
tion, not fact"
WELL IT'S NICE to be told
the world is not so big as
it seems.
Looking at it the way Mr..
Toynbee does, everybody'S
important. Each one of us is
a world, in a way. What we
all do is meaningful.
You can't stand 10 people
in a row and crank them up
as a single, collective think
ing machine"
What you've got is 10,
thinking machines. They all
may come to the same con-
clusion. But each one has to
do his own thinking sepa-
rately.
Nor can you harness 10
people to perform an action,
or piece of work, as a single
human mechanism.
They may work together
and achieve a collective re-
suit.
But each person does his
own part of the job as a sep
arate individual.
When you think about this
viewpoint of Mr.. Toynbee,
you can see it enlarges the
possibilities of life for every
one.
He's telling us we're not
just mechanistic cogS in a
vast machine that operates
collectively.
Instead, what each one of
us does, individually, is i'm
portant.
