Miss Hawes
Discusses
Clothes
Predicts Trousers
Vogue for Women
In 10 Years

Panning current attention getting
devices" in women's clothes, and
confidently predicting that women,
at least the working girls, will
generally be wearing trousers in
10 years, Elizabeth Hawes, author of
Fashion Is Spinach" elaborated on
the theme of the volume for the
Women's National Press CLUB at
one of the largest luncheons of the
season yesterday.
Miss Hawes said fashion absurdi-
ties of the moment reflect general
world hysteria and refused to pre-
dict what women would wear if and
when this country goes to war.
She was very sure, however, that
women dress to please men. "That's
the thing that's getting me down" "
she said. Much of what women
wear now is what men loathe. That
seems very backward"
Clothes, she contended, should be
functional depending on line and
color for individuality. But, If in
her head woman wants to wear
ruffies, then ruffles it should be. no
matter what impression she gives.
She made the point that women
should not wear what fashion
dictates simply because fashion
dictates.
Miss Halves likes Queen Mary's
hats, she said, because Queen Mary
dresses her type" But, in answer
to question, she declared: II Think
they (the designers) failed on Queen
Elizabeth. In the evening they sue
ceeded, but think they overdid it
in the daytime" She suggested that
plaid tweed jackets and simple
skirts would be successful for the
Queen.
Calls Attention
To Her Own Device.
The speaker called attention to
her own "attention-getting device
or conversation piece"-Which she
wore on her head 1t was three
sable paws, with all the fingernails
on and the fingernails painted red.
II think it's funny" she said, "and
my husband thinks it's awful"
It had the advantage, however,
of being out of the class of mass
production "attention-g getting de-
vices" she pointed out, because it
hard to get sable paws with the
f1ngernails unbroken, and because,
to date, similar so-called hats are
not being manufactured.
Listing current "attention-ge
Devices" she started with bustles,
which, she said, when used for
anything but a joke, fall fiat
Since you can't be funny very often,
when you buy an evening dress
with one you're hooked" she re-
marked.
The device which makes her most
curious is red fingernails. Most
women's hands are not beautiful
enough to have that much attention
she remarked, adding that mani
curist in Chicago said women wear
them because Its the savage in
them"
Junk jewelry," she said, misses
its point when every $10,95 mode
comes with its own junk attached
The most interesting thing that
has happened recently in the fash
ion world, she continued, is the
corset which came out in August
and died in September" All pro-
motion schemes failed to put il
over, she explained, because women
uvon't he uncomfortable. As a mat
ter of fact, she doubts that womer
ever will be really uncomfortable
again and ventured another pre-
diction that eventually all corsets
would be abandoned.
Trousers Practical.
Trousers for women, she thinks
will come because they are practical
and comfortable. Men say they
don't like the idea, but perhaps they

sponsible among other things for
lack of esprit de corps, they add.
$50 many procedures, forms and
elaborate administrative devices
have been interposed between the
office of the superintendent and the
work to be done that he has been
largely divorced from field problems
." loses contact with his field
forces. The pyramiding OF the pro-
cedures has shifted the emphasis
from the work, and the men who are
doing it, to the procedure involved
In getting it done," they say.
In addition Mr.. Wagner and Mr..
Sauers recommend a thorough
going classification survey by the
Interior Department of all positions
in tl-o organizations. More atten-
tior y say, should be given to a
SCI of promotions which would
be IN with the rating method
for -Imanent employees in civil
service grades 4 to 8. Promotions
have been haphazard up to this
time, they say.
The National Capital Parks, as a
field office of the National Park
Service, should, in addition, be di-
rected to deal directly with the
Fourth District Office of the Civil
Service Commission in obtaining
eligibles, the two experts declare.
Heretofore the parks Office has been
forced to deal through the Park
Service and the Interior Department
when vacancies have been filled.
This has taken considerable time.

HEAD OF UTWA
FIGHTS 'OUSTER'

G.N.SO. Challenging legality
of his "ouster," Francis ]. Cor
man declared today that he is
the international president of the
United Textile Workers of Amer
lea and would continue to act in
that capacity until competent
court" rules otherwise.
A group of UTWA officials,
"ousted" themselves, according to
German, recently voted to re-
lieve the UTWA president of his
office.
The controversy further
smashed the solidarity which
existed between UTWA and the
CIO until a few months ago, when
German and his advisers, an
gered by alleged usurpation of au-
thority by the Textile Workers
Organizing Committee, advocated
return of the textile workers
union to the American Federation
of Labor. The TWOC was organ.
lied when all was harmonious in
UTWA-CIO relations to prosecute
an organization drive among tex
tile workers in the south.
German called attention to the
UTWA convention held last week
at which he said his authority
as president was confirmed, anC
invited" TWOC Chairman Sid
ney Hillman and his traitorous
former officials of the United
Textile Workers" who "ousted'
German to institute court action
to remove him from office.
Courts in Rhode Island anc
New Jersey have handed doWr
decisions declaring UTWA is in
dependent of TWOC.

BITTER FIGHTS

OVER SPENDING
Enlarged G. o. P. Ready
To Open Siege
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

Q.N.S0 The new Congress
was in recess today over the week.
end while the harassed leaders
labored to gear the machinery to
grind out the enormous burden
of work and responsibility Presi.
dent Roosevelt has imposed upon
them.
In two very brief legislative
days, Mr.. Roosevelt has given
Congress work enough to occupy
it for six months, much of it en-.
meshed in political controversy,
with more to come.
Huge Appropriations
There is the $4,000, 600, 900
budget to wrestle with; an $S75,.
000, 900 emergency appropriation
which must be made within a
month If more than 100000
WPA workers are not to be laid
off; a $1,300,000,000 armament
program coming up; presidential
suggestions for new taxes to
finance this armament bill and
agricultural aid.
Also there Is Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-
pressed desire to scrap existing
neutrality legislation: the extern
sion Of many expiring depression
born emergency acts: and a raft
of nominations to consider, in
cluding a Supreme Court and two
new Cabinet officers.
All this the President dumped
into the lap Of Congress in two
days. leaving to the leadership
the job of working out the details
and writing the legislation. He
said, in effect: "You carry the
ball"

COURT TO LOSE
BRANDE|S SOON

G.N.S.) Belief that retirement
Of Associate Justice Louis D.
Brandeis from the Supreme Court
is imminent, grew in the Capitol
here today. Many friends and
admirers of the justice joined in
the forecast.
The retirement is generally ex,
pected to follow Senate confirma.
ton of the appointment of Prof
Felix Frankfurter, of Harvard Uni
versity, to fill the vacancy on the
high court caused by the death of
the late Justice Cardozo.
Although he now occupies an
important role in moulding the re
constituted Supreme Court, Jus
tice BrandeiS is reported to be sat
isfied that Frankfurter will carry
on the philosophical and legal pol
icieS for which he has fought dur
ing his % years on the tribunal.
Justice Brandeis passed his
eighty-second birthday last No
vember 13.
Rumored retirement of Justice
McReynolds in protest against the
Frankfurter appointment also
aroused wide comment in politi
cal circles.

FrQnkfurter
ASSQiled

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 6 G.N.SD.
Maj. Gen. George Van Horn
Moseley, retired commander of
the third army and bitter critic
of present national administrative
policies, today vigorously assailed
the appointment of Felix Frank
furter to the United States Su.
preme Court as encouragement to
the enemies within our gates"
In his comment upon the ap-
pointment of Frankfurter, the re-
tired officer said:
Nothing could so encourage
the enemies within our gates as
this proposed appointment. Moth
ing could demonstrate more
clearly the Presidents appoint
ment. Nothing could demonstrate
more clearly the Presidents
opinion of the work of the Dies
committee, as the appointment of
a man whom our subversive ,ele-
mentS look upon as protector. "

"Spend Millions"

Charges were made that both
Communist and Nazi organiza.
tions have been spending millions
of dollars a year in this country
for both propaganda and sabotage.
Following the Presidents revela-
ton of the investigation, the At
torney General summoned Direc.
tor j. Edgar Hoover, of the FBI,
and other officials to his office
for a conference and to map out
plans for the investigation.

FRANKFURTER
CONFIRMATION
TO Be SPEEDED
Choice Wins Approval
of Both Parties

GN.S) Senate confirmation
Of Felix Frankfurter, famed Har-
ward University law professor,
early next week was forecast
today by congressional leaders OF
both parties.
Equally speedy approval of
President Roosevelts nomination
of former Senator James P. Pope
CD Of Boise, Idaho. to be chair,
man Of the highly-controversial
Tennessee Valley Authority, like
wise was forecast.
HOPKINS OPPOSED
But slower action in voting
upon confirmation of Harry L.
Hopkins as Secretary of Com
merce appeared certain. There is
opposition to his appointment on
the ground he should have
scotched participation in politics
by wPA personnel when he was
head Of that agency.
However, Administration lead,
ers confidently predicted he would
be confirmed.
While Western Senators were
keenly disappointed that President
Roosevelt did not 60 to their Sec
ton for the new Supreme Court
Justice to succeed the late Justice
Benjamin Cardozo, there was not
a sign of opposition to contirma-
ton of Professor Frankfurter.
NOT A RADICAL
Conservative Senators, while not
glowing with enthusiasm over his
selection, privately heaved sigh
of relief that what they termed a
radical had not been named.
While Professor Frankfurter is
known to have been close ad-
wiser of President Roosevelt on
''New Deal'' legislation, being
credited with supplying brain
trusters" for the Administration,
Senate foes of the ill-fated Su-
preme Court enlargement bill said
he stood with them on that mo-
mentous issue.
Senator Matthew M. Nicely (DO
Of West Virginia, chairman Of the
Senate Judiciary subcommittee,
which will consider Frankfurter's S
appointment, told International
News Service he anticipated no
opposition.
UNDECIDED ON HEARING
He conferred with other sub
committee members today on his
plans for a speedy vote. Though
Nicely said he did not believe a
public hearing would be necessary
on the appointment, he declared
he would be guided on that matter
by the wishes of his committee.
There was possibility that a
m e,mber of the subcommittee
would ask that Frankfurter be in
vited to appear before the com.
nnittee in executive session for a
discussion of his views on the
functions Of the Supreme Court.

any attempt to check their reli.

domination of the C1O, and
named scores of labor leaders who

After a hasty survey of the stu.

Shifting OF Coaches AT

The reasoning Of these qu2lllied
observers seems quite logical to your
correspondent. who makes no pre-
tense to qualifying in the role OF loot
ball expert.
1t is pointed out that Bob Warren
when he coached the State freshmen
some four years ago was Senefally

tutors of raw material IN the country
and there is no reason to THINK ne
has lost his touch.

he may be a great tackle, gual or

ed that while he was at Davidson ne

The. assignment of Wood to the rob
OF coaching the varsity backs ought
to bear fine fruit and bear it quickly.
Newton teaches Tennessee style foot
ball. Wood was the quarterback and
field-brains OF highlands unbeaten
1893 Vols. His whole football life has
been lived under the Majors star;
and it needs no argument to prove
that his familiarity with the same
brand of football that Newton likes
will be no handicap whatsoever in
developing q driving, ground gaining
offensive at State College something
that has been sadly lacking for 10,
these many years.
Hickman, OF course, is also Ten
