handling prisoners.
They also noted that only
four crimes of violence have
been committed against per-
sons residing in the areas of
the work camps since 1906. The

Dutu Forwarded
For Alexandria
CD Survey

Alexandria took the first step
today in its part of the Federal
defense survey aimed at pro-
viding public fallout shelters in
cities across the country.
Col. Norman E. Hartman, civil
defense co-ordinator of Alexan-
dria, forwarded a compilation
of population statistics to the
Area Public Works office of
the Potomac River Naval Com
mand, which is in charge of the
survey in the Washington area.
These figures will be used to
help determine where Alexan-
dria's 94,381 residents would be
at different times in the event
of a nuclear attack, Col. Hart
man said.
Later an Alexandria archi-
tect = engineer will be hired to
specify buildings with shelter
space for at least so persons in
a minimum area Of 500 square
feet, he said.
Construction work necessary
to bring the building space up
to standard fallout shelter spec

Indeed" he continued, "un-

/ State Senator Charles Fen
wick of Arlington today pro-
posed that mass transit plans
be reconsidered to determine if
new subways can be designed to
provide public shelter against
lnuclear attack.
Senator Fenwick also dis
closed he will recommend that
the Washington Metropolitan
Regional Conference, of which
he is chairman, explore the
desirability of expanding the
proposed subway system to in
clude areas of suburban Vir-
| ginia.
He suggested that if the sub
way we're linked by tunnels to
surface lines across the river,
the District could be evacuated
much more rapidly if atomic
war seemed imminent.
If studies confirm the prac-
ticality of using transit facili-
ties for civil defense, he said,
then construction of subway S
should be accelerated.
Would Combine Plans
Mr.. Fenwick commented on
the subway plan when he was
asked to elaborate on remarks
he made last night at a meet
ing of the Arlington Ridge
Civic Association.
I'm not prepared to say
that this should be, done nor
am I prepared to say that it
is feasible" he commented.
But mere IN the Washing
ton area, we are proposing a
subway system as part Of a
mass transit program. Un-
doubtedly there is going to
have to be some type of mass
fallout shelter for the public.
Certainly, consideration should
be given to designing our sys-
tenn, if technically feasible. so
that it could be converted into
a fallout shelter while provid-
ling rapid transportation"

Auntie Name
A MONTH OF SUNDAYS. BY

Louis Kronenberger. CVik-
ing; $3.75J
Mr.. Kronenberger's novel
is one of those gay, mad
books without a serious mo-
ment. 1t is of the "Auntie
Name" school of desperate
gayety, and goes about as
far as you can go in that line.
You will never have to read
another after "a Month of
Sundays"
The setting for the labored
revels is "Serenety House" a
luxurious mental institution
which houses a clutch of
venomouS old ladies who feud
with each other at a series
of opulent cocktail and din
ner parties. The vendetta
reaches a climax when one
old witch breaks up anoth-
er's wedding by starting a
television show in the next
room. Mr.. Kronenberger
spoofs Madison Avenue and
all it's works, but there is
something repellent about
the unremitting malice of his
satire. There is nobody sane
for contrast or even a point
of view. His happiest inven-
ton is a thunderous old Snob
named Mrs. Cortelyou who
can tell you about the order
of precedence at the funeral
Of a president-elect.

professional historians. The
present work, the twelfth and
final volume in the series, is
designed partly as a response
to these critics and partly as
a reconsideration of some of
his conclusions in the light of
advances recently made in
archaeology.
In the first 10 volumes Of
the Study" Toynbee labored
to produce a universal his
tory of human affairs. He
was original, however, in Sc
lecting as his unit of dis
course, or "the intelligible
field" as he calls it, civiliza-
tions and not the nation
states to which Western his
torians had heretofore lin
tied themselves. He isolated
some 81 of these civilizations,
and then proceeded to de-
velop the laws Of their gene
sis, growth, encounters and
final breakdown. Along the
way Toynbee made some at
tempt at deriving moral abb
solutes and forecasting the
future, especially Of the West.
What have his critics chal-
lenged in this enterprise?
The most serious objection
(and Toynbee himself recog-
nizes it to be such) is that his
method is not sufficiently
empirical. Granted the pos
sibility of writing a universal
history, his critics claim that
what he had produced may be
poetry, myth. vision. proph-
ecy, theology or philosophy,
but it is not history. In their
eyes Toynbee's categories are
not solidly grounded scien-
tific hypothesis, but myths
and metaphors, impose
Procrutes-like, on already
manipulated facts.
Toynbee's thesis that civ
ilization serves religion has
evoked mixed response.
Christian thinkers while in
the main approving it view
his call for a final "higher
religion" as simply a cheap
syncretism. Other historians
see this call for a synthesis
of the higher religions as a
manoeuvring of history for
ends alien to itself.
Finally there is the angry
response of Jewish critics to
Toynbee'S CHARACTERIZED
ton of Judaism as a fossil"
Toynbee is quite willing
