the Fashion Congress. sponsored
by The Washington Times at the
Mayflower yesterd day, concen-
trated on spring clothes for the
matronly figure.
The judges decided that too
much attention is given today to
youthful styles and were pleased
20 appraise clothes designed to
bring out the best lines Of the
figure ION the heavy side" and
well past the zenith of perfection.
, So clothes for street wear in
Che spring were paraded at this
luncheon conference by a group
Of older women, who acted as
models.
Judges we're Mrs. Edward Mitch

"A dark blue glove-kid bag, new,
smart and reasonably priced from
Phillipsborn, attracted much ia
vorable comment. This was shown
with a suit combining a plaid and
blue woolen fabric. A blue knitted
suit, three-piece, and shot with
metallic threads. shown as the
second costume in this group, was
judged neither one thing nor an

A reasonably priced blue and

SOVIET STAND

Secretary of State Hull denied
yesterday that Withdrawing con-
sular officers from Russia was a
retaliatory move against the Sow.
cts for failing to meet their debt
obligations.
Mr.. Hull said this country has
other means of caring for it's in.
terests without reSorting to re-
taliation.
Nevertheless, it was indicated
the next move is decidedly up to
Moscow. This country is willing
to let diplomatic relations remain
as they are with trade negotia-
tions at a standstill.
Although smarting at the action
taken by this Government, Russia
is not expected. to break off diplo-
matte relations entirely in view of
the delicate Far Eastern situation.
