MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 26.-Milady will modestly turn low-cut back on the ks-and-braSsiere that fail to meet type of bathing suit if she's to be in style on Miami's beaches this winter
 Though still scanty of material and revealing of line, this seasons ad- vance bathing attire eliminates the once modish expanse of bare skin over the diaphragm.
 A distinct departure from the bril- iiantly brief Tahitian costume intro duced here last year, the new styles, featuring pastel colors, point to an energetic program in south Florida waters during the winter months.
 Still brief, but depending chiefly on form fitting lines and intricate weaves for their novelty, the new suits feature one-piece models with backs barred to the waist and tiny

ropes and woven cords as shoulder straps.
 Noticeably absent are trunks and bandana models. In the few shown there is a close fit between the halt CT top and the trunks.
 Many of the new models are devel- oping into wools of pastel shades. New colors include brilliant Ba- hama blue, dusty rose, and deep plum while the popular raspberry red, hunters green and white are also be- ing used.
 Suits highly utilitarian and pre- senting lines of well-bred simplicity, hardly distinguishable from the straight, slim silhouettes of the mas culine suits get the feminine accent with short, smart capes that become skirts on occasion and low backs which correspond to the mode fash ionable in evening frocks this year.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Sup- porters of the House approved Will COX air base bilf said here today that they seek presidential inter- vention to overthrow the adverse Budget Bureau report against the $l25, 100000 measure.

Sentiment Is Sought for
 Billion DOIIGr Lottery
 Measure, Is Up m House
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, July 1l.-There probably will be nothing done about it during the present Congress, but it may be wise to keep watch on a bill in the House introduced by Representative Kenny of New Jer- sey and known as H. R. 8540--
 It's a proposal to create Gov ernment supervised and controlled billion dollar lottery
 A subcommittee of the extremely busy Ways and Means Committee of the House took the time to hold public hearings on the measure. A petition is being circulated among members requesting that H. R. 8540 be reported on the floor of the House this session for a vote.
 An organization known as the National Conference for Legalized Lotteries has been formed to fos- ter sentiment for such proposal as that offered by the New Jersey Congressman.
 A concerted drive has been start ed to get H. R. 8540 before the House this session, and if it fails to advance the measure to such an advantageous position that it will have to be considered by the next Congress.
 A 20,8OO-To-1 Shot
 Kenny's proposal is that the lot tery be conducted upon the basis of the government taking 40 per- cent of a $2 ticket and devoting 60 percent to participation awards or prizes. He would have one grand award of not more than $120,000 and $500 as the minimum.
 To produce a billion dollars reve- nue as the governments 40 per cent share, there would be sold an- nually $2.5OO, 100000 of tickets. A total of 1,250, 100000 tickets would be sold in year or l04, ,166, ,666 a
