The Washington defense center, established February 4, aids inductees with personal problems and questions about allotments and infant care. Staffed by 20 volunteers and supported by the OCD, Red Cross, and Selective Service, it acts as a model for other cities as draft regulations change. Many queries concern provisions for wives, children, and nonbiological dependents.
