Ever since last March, Gin
cinnati has been pointing to
the current basketball season
with just one thought in mind
TO get another shot at Ohio
State in the NCAA post-season
tournament.
Cincinnati beat the Buck
eyes, 70-65, in overtime in the
NCAA title game last year.
The Bearcats have had their
ups and downs and just a month
ago appeared ready to roll over
and play dead when they lost
to arch-rival Bradley in the
Missouri Valley Conference.
But they're back in the run
ming today and unless the fates
go against them they should
make the NCAA tournament
again.
Last night, they turned the
tables on Bradley, 72-57, on
their home court and pulled
into a tie with the Braves for
the conference lead, each with
9-2 records. Each has one more
league game, Cincinnati against
Wichita Saturday night and
BIZ dley against St. Louis
March 3.
May Need Playoff
If both win. they will wind up
deadlocked for the title and a
playoff game will be necessary.
Without 6-foot-8 Joe Strawder,
who was dismissed from school
last Week-and who scored 81 |
points against the Bearcats in
the first meeting of the teams
Bradley has lost much of its
punch.
Should Cincinnati win the
Missouri Valley title and the
berth, Bradley probably
would wind up in the National
Invitation Tournament in New
York. The Braves finished Sec
ond to Cincinnati last year, but
turned down a bid to the NIT
because Coach Chuck Orsborne
SAID the team didn't deserve it.
While Bradley and Cincin-
natl were wondering who would
WIND up where, the NCAA and
the NIT started their annual
battle for teams to fill out
their events.
The NCAA needs 10 at-large
leans to round out its list of
conference champions. The
MT field consists of IL teams. ,
Each snatched up four in the +
opening blasts yesterday, and
The ,NCAA came up with two ,
more today, Air Force Academy ,
and Seattle.

protection standards of the
Federal Government. These
state that the shelter must cut
radiation to one-hundredth of
the intensity outside the shell
ter. Shelters with lower protec-
ton ratios (40 to /, instead of
100 to u are being identified
and marked, but not stocked.
The approximate populations
and higher protection factor
shelter spaces located around
Washington are as follows:
Montgomery County. 10000

County, 100000 and $4,000;
Alexandria, $4,000 and $4,000;
Arlington County, 172,500 and
10000: Fairfax, 100000 and
$1,000, and Falls Church, 10,300
and 240.
These shelter spaces are not.
in most instances, distributed
evenly within each jurisdiction.
In Montgomery County, for in
stance. nearly half Of the total
shelter space is at the National
Institutes Of Health. About TO-
900 of the approximately 10000
spaces there would probably be
taken up during a daytime at

defense officials note.
Many persons, particularly
those in rural areas. could not
reach the presently identified
public shelters in the short

Many have been converted over
the years to children with
special problems.
The Commissioners have
abandoned hope that barracks
at Boiling Field might be used
to house some of the children
from Junior Village. which is
only a short distance away.
Although planes no longer fly
from Boiling, the 1l00th Air
Base Wing operates there. Ap-
proximately 1900 airmen live
in barracks on the base, and %
nom commissioned officers and
their families and about 30
officers and their families also
have quarters there. 1t was re-
ported that military authorities
felt the plan was impractical.
The Commissioners also are
expected to relax physical re-
quirements for foster homes so
more can be developed.

nne Of the most diverting
spectacles of our civilized
age is to watch the gladia-
torial tactics of certain in
tellectuals in their effort to
become top dog.
or-if they already are
supreme-to avoid being dis
placed.
Not since the shows in the
Roman Colosseum have any
fiercer hand-to-hand (or
pen-to-pen) battles been
waged for such a flimsy
purpose.
Words are the weapons
not spears or knives-but no
quarter is given and none is
asked. While the encounters
are normally bloodless, the
antagonists can never be
satisfied until one or the
other is completely hors de
combat.
Like the gladiators of old,
the warriors can only seek
limited rewards. To hear the
cheers Of the multitude when
ones opponent is silenced is
about all the victor can ex-
pect. But those sweet hurrahs
seem to be quite enough to
assure plenty of action.
Evening star., 1962-12-16

TO UNDERSTAND these
battles and enjoy them fully,
spectators need a little back
ground. Primarily, they must
know these struggles take
place in a, special little world
of the antagonists own max
ing.
Even urban planners and
theorists have succeeded in
stalking out a professional
arena Of their own - and
this arena is the scene right
now of one of the most in
triguing of these wordy bat
ties in which professional
regulations are at stake with
other members of the group.
AS Mr.. ]. Kenneth Gal
braith explained it beauti-
fully in a tender little essay
dissecting the closed world
of the economists:
a.. The prestige system
of the tribe is the only one
that has meaning to a men,
Der, and it is all-important.
The most honorific position
in the tribal group then be-
comes the most honorific
position in the universe. If
the school is all that counts,
then the head boy is a per-
son of the greatest possible

Investigotive Arrest
Compromise Sought

The District is looking for ar
acceptable constitutional sub
stitute" before issuing any or
der to end police arrests of per-
sons for Investigations" Com
missioner Walter N. Tobriner
said yesterday.
There is no doubt in any
Of the Commissioners minds
that such arrests are uncon-
stitutional," Mr.. Tobriner said
over Radio Station WWDC's
Report to the People"
But, he said, some compro-
mise is necessary to provide
police with adequate tools to
carry out their job.
A recommendation that in
vestigative arrests be stopped
Immediately was sent to the
Commissioners last summer by
a committee of three lawyers,
headed by Charles A. Horsky,
now special advisor to President
Kennedy on District affairs.
Chief Fears Handicap"
Police Chief Murray, how
ever, said his policemen would
be handicapped in its crime
investigation procedure If 1t
were ordered to stop the ar
rests.
Senator Robert Byrd. chair
man Of the Senate subcom-
mittee handling the District
budget. later virtually ordered
the Commissioners to ignore
the Horsky report.
Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon, has also urged the
Commissioners TO end investi-
gative arrests. He released a
letter to Mr.. Tobriner yester-
day.
Mr.. Tobriner reported yester-
day that the Commissioners

the arrests in shape some
time In January"

This dark picture of two key
elements in civil defense pre-
paredness for the approximate
ly 1.3 million residents sur
rounding Washington is bright
ening, but even with the prog
ress being made, the outlying
communities lag far behind the
District.
The District has stocked
shelters for about los, 900 of its
approximately 100000 residents.
1t also has not one, but two
alternate emergency operations
centers which, If they should be
knocked out, are backed up by
a mobile center.
Part Of the difficulty in the
outlying communities is the
lack of buildings which afford
fallout protection. Shelter
spaces for only 208,420 persons
have been located, in contrast
with the 1.3 million capacity
found in the District.
Stocking Held Up
Stocking of the shelters, ex-
pected to begin this month or
early in January, has been held

UNTIL RECENTLY, the
most honorific position in
the world Of urban thinkers
was held by Lewis Mumford,
a writer who has been lord
ing it over all other men,
bers Of the tribe by sheer
eloquence and erudition, II
not by any practicable con-
tribution to current prob
lens faced by cities.
To reach the top in this
field, someone has to dis
place MIR. Mumford - and
this is no mean feat, as any
one who knows his fast foot
work and poinard-like dia-
lectical skill would quickly
acknowledge.
But arenas like this are
built for battle, and new
challengers are always show
ing up.
A year ago, Jane Jacobs
appeared on the scene with
a book called "The Death
and Life Of Great American
Cities" She sharply dis
agreed with Mr.. Mumford's
theories favoring decentral-
ization.
"a book like Mumford's
The Culture of Cities was
largely a morbid and biased
catalog of Ills" she wrote
flatly.
Mr.. Mumford bided his
time for more than a year.
Then in the December / New
Yorker magazine, he took
out after his antagonist in
a piece entitled Mother ia
cobs' Home Remedies"
With lordly aplomb, Mr..
Mumford said:
"If our urban civilization
is TO escape progressive dis
solution, we shall have TO re-
build 1t from the ground up"
That's one way out. But
we're afraid Mr.. Mumford
will have TO do better than

Housing Bias
Report kSet
For Tomorrow
White House
Seen Behind
Quick Action
By SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer


District officials will submit
an initial report on what i'm
pact housing discrimination
has on the lives of Washington
residents.
The study. an attempt to an
swer this question through a
statistical analysis, was ordered
by Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner.
The report may provide the
Commissioners with a legal key
to action on the housing mat
ter.
The Commissioners have
been told by their legal staff
that they have authority to
adopt anti-bias housing regula-
tions only if there Is concrete
evidence linking segregated
housing to general welfare evils.
Asked Prompt Action
Mr.. Tobriner originally had
an indefinite deadline in mind
on submission of the statistical
study, it was reported. A few
days ago, however, he told the
District Management Office
that he wanted a report on
the housing question by tomor-
row.
The Commissioner repeatedly
said that the preliminary re-
port could be limited to statis-
tical trends" and that it could
be refined and expanded later
There was speculation that
the White House was behind
the earlier deadline for submis-
sion of the report.
The report presumably viii
include housing statistics brok-
en- down on a racial basis IN
such fields as health and crime.
Last month the Commission
ers were told by their legal Of
flee that they have the power to
adopt discrimination hous-
ing regulations under an 1892
Congressional resolution pro-
vided tLey first had found:
" as a fact, and base a
legislative determination there
on, that any such condition of
discrimination results, or is
likely to result, in danger to
the lives, limbs, health, COM
fort. quiet or property Of the
inhabitants of the District -
Second Hearing Planned
Several weeks ago, the Com
missioners held hearings on
whether racial and religious
discrimination endangers the
welfare Of washington resi-
dents.
The hearings were called
after the Commissioners re-
ceived the opinion from the
Corporations Counsel's office.
The Commissioners said then
that they would call q second
hearing if they decided that
banning racial and religious
discrimination in private hous-
ing would benefit the public.
The second hearing would be
on the specific anti-bias regu-
lations to be adopted.
The statistical report or
dered by Mr.. Tobriner is to
the testimony given
at the recent public hearings. |
Mr.. Tobriner has been try
ing to move ahead on the hous-
ing matter without antagoniz-
ing the House District Com
mittee.
The committee has asked the
Commissioners to defer any ac-
ton leading to adoption Of
anti-bias regulations. The COM
mittee plans to hold hearings

WTHEN Shirley MacLaine (nee Beatty
w was attending Arlington's Washing.
ton-Lee High School, she was s. as what teen
ager isnt?-a handy person with a tele-
phone. And rather long -winded one, too,
as her real estate father, Ira o. Beatty, found
on more than one occasion.
Well, Shirley finished growing up, won
fame on stage, screen and television - and
kept right on monopolizing the phone. The
only difference between Shirley's telephon-
tits at ~ and when she was II is that it's
much more expensive. She probably spends
more money on phone calls than most wom-
en- spend on cosmetics, jewelry and their
hair dresser combined.
But there's a reason. Her husband,
Steve Parker, spends much of his time in
Tokyo, where his film company has head
quarters. and she often has to stay in the
United States, pursuing her career. When
they are separated, as was the case when
