Colored winter coatS-faShiOn or phans for the last few years-wlll come back to Fifth Avenue and Main Street this fall if the coat and suit division of the Fashion Origin ators' Guild of America has it's way.
 The 12 designer manufactures of the division defied midseason en- phasis on black by staging an en- tire coat and suit fashion show in one color-"rural autumn"-a rich red rust. Although all of the models shown were in one shade, the di- vision pointed out that this particu- lar hue was not to be regarded as one of outstanding significance. The point of the display was not the inn portance of this particular color but the accent on color-in coats.
 The show was part of a concert ed effort on the part of American designer manufacturers to put pep in fall fashions and give lag ging business a shove. Business in coats reached it's peak in the days when women wore colored coats, the division spokesman said. In the past few years smart women by the thousands have chosen black or somber coats which can be worn over dresses of many diff ferent shades.
 The coats shown in the display included both fitted and straight box models, ranging all the way from luxurious afternoon wraps tc sports clothes. They were designed with both large and small collars and furred in great variety oi belts including kolinsky, beaver blue fox, gray and black Persian lamb. They reflected both sparina and lavish use of furs. A number of them were worn over frocks oi the same hue
 Their diversity emphasized the fact that designers are concentrat- ing on color instead of design 1T this display which preceded regu- lar fashion showings Stylis tS watched the show with interest, but

-similar to what happened in Alabama last January
Old Deal newspapers, coumnsts, orators, etc. quickly
recovered from the shock of New Dealer Lister Hills
victory Tom Heflin in Alabamas senatorial cleo
ton last January the wagehour bill issue. The talk
about Roosevelts having lost his grip quickly mounted
to it's OLD volume. Yesterday Gen. Hugh S. johnson
made this graceful remark in print about his former
chief, the President of the United States:
the old magic lost its kick The diverse ee
in his Fasaffan longer be kept together
and led by meodious whnny and winning smile.
For all that Flordas Democratic primary day before
yesterday, made to turn Roosevelt main issue,
by James Roosevelts remark that eve" want Senator
Claude Pepper nominated for reelection-and Pepper
renomnated His vote exceeded the combined vote
of his four opponents. A Democratic nomination in
Florida, of course, is tantamount to election.
Everybody against Roosevelt except the people,
said of another leader. When the people get
chance to vote Roosevelt antiRoosevet they still
voting Roosevelt pretty consistently.
Our guess that the Florida primary result will pass
the wagehour BILL by the votes of Southern lawmakers
who have been thinking the voices of Southern bgwgs
were the voice of the Southern peope-or that lot of
Southern lawmakers will be retired lawmakers after
their next round at the polls.

Their condition is far more
pathetic. I noticed while I was
on a tour through the country
that no one dares to talk; every
one is afraid of everyone else.
They dare not even mention
Hitler's name. The older peo-
pie are anxious for their chill
dren to leave Germany.
The most unbelievable thing
is that the German people envy
the Jews because their fellow
believers outside are helping
them to escape, while no one
bothers about them. They
must stay and supply the
Fuehrer with cannon fodder.
I met professor of Heidelberg
University and he said: Tell
your people to do every thing
to preserve their democratic
freedom-it is the most precious
gift of ALL"
I wonder why nothing has
been done about the Presidents

should be sent to Alaska, this
territory not having been de-

In your editorial you suggest
to extend to them a haven.

good deed to the country and to
