WHAT'S IN FASHION?-
Spring Dresses for Now

ing jackets are going to be very
fashionable IN the spring and that
these jacket dresses are practical
because in warm weather they can
be worn on the street without a
coat.
Smart for Spring
Another thing they remember is
that tvo-piece dresses, or dresses
that look two-piece, are smart spring
fashionS-and that these, too, make
good street costumes.
One good type to choose for this
first spring dress would be jacket
dress Of printed Silk-a one-piece
dress with a matching jacket.
That gives you two good spring
fashionS-jacketS and color, and It's
a good way to make the break be-
tween che dark winter dress and the
light colored spring one.
And there are hundreds of DIFF
ferent printed jacket dress FASH
ions to choose from. We've had one
sketched above at the right-a dress
with a straight, box-Iike cardigan
jacket and a contrasting vestee ef-
feet IN plain color.
Contrasting Trim Good
Another good dress to choose now
would be plain color with contrast
ing trimming. Black with white,
perhaps, or navy with biege or light
blue.
The left hand sketch shows a
color combination like this. And 1t
illustrates one Of those fashionable
dresses that give the effect Of be-
ing two-piece.
You'll notice that this has front
fullneSs that keeps the skirt quite
straight in line, and that this full
ness Is pleats that are stitched part
way down.
Dresses like these look fine under
a winter coat. And they'll look fine
under spring coat, too, or coatless
when it's warm enough.

WARDROBE, THIS flrSt Spring dress,
bought earlier than the other items,
won't be something that clashes.
This year in shopping for spring
dress-one that can be worn now
as well as in the spring fashionable
women are keeping several things
in mind. Things that make the diff
ference between spring and a
winter dress.
They're looking for such details
as Straighter skirts, front fuilnesS
instead Of side fullness, pleats
rather than goreS-and these pleats
stitched part way down and not re-
leased until low down in the skirt.
They're looking for belts or CIR

BROWN
FEUD RENEWED

The bitter personal feud be-
tween Postmaster General Walter
F Brown and Senator j. J.
Blaine (RO of Wisconsin, chair
man of the Senate subcommittee
probing postal leases, flared up
fiercely today
Senator Blaine is enraged over
an acrimonious statement issued
by the Postmaster General last
night, but decided today, after
comforting with other Senators, to
withhold any detailed reply for
the present.
He said:
CATER all the evidence Is in.
Postmaster General Brown will
have an opportunity for a re-
buttal. decline to enter into a
personal controversy with HIM"
The head of the Postoffice De
partment accused the Wisconsin
solon with using his cloak of
senatorial immunity" to project
miSstatementS upon the public
with reference to the extent and
the gravity of various postal
leasing frauds.
Not more than $500 has been
contributed by beneficiaries of
postal leases to Republican cam
paign funds since 1924, Mr..
Brown added, in response to an
accusation by Senator Blaine
that these contributions amount
to more than $1.250,000.

SUGAR PRICES
UNDER PROBE
BY CAPPER
Investigation of Wheat Ends
as Manufacturers Testify Be-
fore Agriculture Committee

Having virtually concluded its
inquiry into bread prices. the Cap
per subcommittee of the Senate
Agriculture Committee today is
turning it's attention to sugar
prices.
One or two local bakers are
scheduled to appear before the
subcommittee this afternoon and
give further evidence regarding
bread prices here and their rela-
tionS to recent declines in the
prices of wheat. But the burden
of today's committee hearings is
to be devoted to questioning j. H.
Post, of the National Sugar Re
filming Company, and Irving Alb
bott, of the American Sugar Re
filming Company.
Bakers Claim Loss
Bakers who thus far have ap-
peared before the committee have
Steadfastly maintained that de-
spite the drop in wheat prices,
they cannot cut bread prices here
below the present scale without
going into the red"
AS a result of the inquiry, the
representative of one large bakery
has announced that the price of
his whOle-wheat loaf will be cut a
cent after Monday. This has been
one result Of the committees
ascertaining that whole wheat
bread prices are generally higher
than white bread.
Bakers have conceded that the
prices of bread here have been
virtually stationary for years, but
they have protested that they can
not cut the price a cent a loaf
without operating at a loss
Selling Below Cost
E. A. Wireback, representing
the American Stores Company,
operating about 40 branches here,
has testified that his firm is sell
ing pound loaf at S cents, but
that this is actually slightly be-
low cost of production.
Leon S. Ulman, of Holmes g.
Son, Inc. local bakers, has told
the committee that he can see no
way of cutting bread prices with
out operating at a loss. ~~-,~'

The Government today is eX-
pected to reveal numerous arrests
of defendants in the GlasSman
liquor conspiracy case.
Seeks to Show Plot
It will make an attempt to
prove a gigantic conspiracy on
the part of Herbert Glassman and
his 10 alleged associates and to
link the II defendants with many
liquor transactions beginning in
Baltimore and leading to the two
GlaSSman garages.
Yesterday an attempt of Gov
ernment counsel to trace checks
signed by Herbert GlasSman to a
Baltimore bank after being in
dOrSed by Samuel GOldStein, one
of the defendants, met with doubt
full success, although two bank
clerks, a Baltimore court clerk
and United States Commissioner
J. Frank Supplee, Of Baltimore,
testified as to the GOldstein sig
nature.
Checks Compared
Signatures in the name Of Gold
stein on both checks of Glassman
and bonds executed by Goldstein
in Baltimore and Washington
were produced and witnesses
called to compare them positively.
Commissioner Supplee and the
clerk of the Baltimore court were
positive in their identification Of
the signatures, but when Govern
ment prosecutors sought to iden-
tify the signatures on the bonds
executed by Goldstein after his
arrest here, United States Com
missioner Needham c. Turnage,
after identifying the signature,
was unable to pick Goldstein from
the array of defendants and Sc
lected Glassman instead.

The committee split came as a
surprise, after Hawley's announce
ment yesterday that the commit
tee unanimously voted to direct
him to prepare the bill for formal
. action today.
: While the Treasury has re-
mained silent on the Bacharach
plan, the opposition Of the com.
nittee chairman was accepted as
an indication that the Treasury
: may actively fight the measure,
which represents a compromise
with hackers of full cash pay
nent Of the certificates totaling
: So, 400, ,000. 900.
Estimates Differ
The cost of the Bacharach
plan has been variously estimated
from $300,000,000 up. Hawley
said the committees estimate of
the cost was 100000, 900, this
being based upon a belief that
. .2,00O, 900 veterans would take ad-
vantage Of the loan provision.
Representative Bacharach, said:
II do not believe that the
bill will require the issuance Of
bonds or other securities by
the Treasury to finance it."
The financing plan on which
the measure is based is use Of a
$772, 100000 sinking fund in the
Treasury toward payment Of
these certificates in 1945, $50, ,000,-
900 in the United States life in

Jury DeadlOcked
The verdict came after the
jury had been deadlocked for
hours, agreed as to the young
mans guilt, but unable to agree
as to the penalty. Eleven jurors
voted for the death penalty while
one held out for life imprison-
ment.
During the trial Williams took

ing, screaming that he did so
