Petain Appointee Takes
Indo-China Governorship

BY the Associated Press.
HANOI. French Indo- China. July
20.-French Indo-China changed
governors today in a move which
may speed Japan's growing infiu-
ence in Southern Asia.
Admiral Jean Decoux, named by
the totalitarian government of Mar
shal Philippe Petain, took over ad-
ninistraIion of this French colony
from Gen. George Catroux.
OYtwardly, at least, the change
was amicably arranged.
The new administration is gen.
orally expected to facilitate far
reaching economic dealings with
the Japanese government.
The Indo-China public of 49,
100000 people learned of the change
in the governorship today at the
same time it heard that Toxic eco
nomlc experts were arriving by plane
to conclude sweeping trade agree
ment, involving probably 7S per cent
barter. The mission, headed by
Gen. Issaku Nishihara, has vir-
tually finished sealing the Chinese
border.
The blockade against China has
been severely felt. At least 100 900
tons of supplies for China, oil, tires,
trucks and finished goods-and sew
eral hundred tons of medical sup
plies were trapped at Haiphong
when the border. was closed.

considerable surprise in the Argen-
tine that Middle Western Senators
in Washington were among those
voting for the $4,000 COO 900 fund to
be employed in building up South
American commerce 1t was not in
keeping with the picture that South
Americans have formed. Just how
sensitive the Argentinos are over the
beef embargo is illustrated by the
fact that the first four men in
Buenos Aires with whom / talked
brought up the question Of their
own accord. They regard it as SYM
bolic.
There has been an improvement in
the attitude of businessmen here
toward the United States within the
last few days. we wcrt told, largely
because OF the granting of credit by
Washington under terms of the 81

taken here as the indication of a
very real desire on the part of the
United States to improve business

Smiling nervously, the italian

They stepped onto the blazing bricks
Of Alexandria's quay and. facing in

Stringent Laws Fail to Halt
Littering of DC. Streets
VioIotors Go Unpunished and Police
Find Enforcement Almost Impossible

cases were booked early IN May
when private collectors disposed of
their trash on outlying side streets.
Ninth precinct-None in the last
month.
Tenth precinct-No arrests in six
months or longer.
Eleventh precinct-An unlicensed
trash collector was arrested last
week but no householders have
ever been arrested for piling trash,
or pedestrians for dropping papers
on the street.
Twelfth precinct-No arrests have
been made in this neighborhood.
Brown Suffers, Too.
Even Maj. Brown, himself. has
suffered from lack Of enforcement.
The superintendent takes pride in
his front yard. but the other day
he found a handbill floating across
his lawn. He dispatched a warning
to the store advertised on the Of
Tending handbill.
There has been legal agitation
against the distribution of hand
bills political and otherwise, on
the street. Since the Supreme
Court has ruled that handbills may
be distributed, the man who breaks
the law Is not the one who hands
out the bill but the pedestrian who
glances at it and then tosses it in
the street.
The City Refuse Department has
its own enforcement officer, H. F.
Krams, but he can go not further
than complain to the police about
violations and ask individual Offend
ers to mind their manners.
His efforts to curb wholesale vio-
lations of the anti-litter ordinances
have included asking theater own
ers to stop distributing programs
of coming attractions to audiences
leaving the theaters. He has asked
contractors to include in their con-
tract price an item for cleaning
up the mess scattered during build
ing operations. He has asked cab
companies to keep their drivers
from cleaning their cabs on the
street.
Notice Sent to HOuSehOlders.
At the same time polite notices
have been sent to householders and
businessmen, explaining the regu-
lations and asking for cooperation.
This is the concluding sentence
in the note to businessmen.
THE police regulations fully cover
the proper and improper Use of
streets, alleys and other public
space. These regulations are 60
ing to be enforced and your VOL
untary cooperation is earnestly
desired before further action is
taken"
There are those who feel that a
policeman without going out of his
way could apprehend enough viola
tors of the anti-litter ordinances to
fill a courtroom any day in the
week, simply by keeping his eyes
open as he walks his beat
In some of Europe's cleanest cities
of pre-war days, the police used to
hand offenders a ticket and make
them produce the money for the
fine there and then.
In the face of an increasingly
sloppy city, some citizens would like
to see a compromise scheme worked
out, somewhere between the stern
measures adopted in Europe and no

trend. Sand beige silk jersey is
the fabric that fashions this charm
ing costume. The bodice is softly
gathered from high neck to high
waistline. The flowing skirt is pleat-
ed into wide wrapped girdle. An
elaborate ornament set in gold
trims the rajah turban of self silk
jersey in the manner of a regal
potentate.
Sailors are with us again. Mill
ners report they are better than
ever this season. Dusty pink suede
forms the bandeau of the navy blue
straw sailor shown at the top to
the right. The ends Of the suede
jut through the crown and are
stitched to give stiffness. A lovely
model this, to wear with the very
new and smart navy costume on
Easter day.
Another type that maintains style
prestige is the postillion. Lime
green straw and cactus blossom
trim gives springtime air to the
position illustrated below to the
right. This simple model will make
an excellent fashion "first" to mi
tate your spring style program.
The new collections include many
hats that are made of ribbon. A
high-crowned chapeau of golden
mustard-colored ribbon swathed in
black net yelling, as shown above
to the left, is youthful headpiece
that tunes ideally to midseason and
early spring wear.
Cellophane black straw and felt
combine to produce the smart tur-
ban pictured below to the left. A
fan-shaped end of the felt mounting
from the crown gives a note of
height.

creations of the fattering sort.
Perhaps the most outstanding
news in regard to hats that will
grace the Easter millinery picture
is the wide use being made of fab
ric, especially jersey (for wrapped
turbans and snoods) and silk prints
as gay and colorful as an artists
palette. See the hat conferred be-
low in the Illustration. Here is a
bright and shining example of what
is being done with silk print. This
wondrously chic little pillbox with
shirred crown is made of a bor-
dered silk print scarf. It's pattern
ing of overlapping disc motifs
achieves a dashing color alliance.
The manner in which the draped
matching scarf is attached to the
back of the hat by means Of snaps
so that it can be removed at will
is both unique and practical. The
fact that the hat can be worn alone
with it's detached scarf translated
into neckerchief, knotted in place
or held with gay pin, adds greatly
to its interest.
One of the big attractions offered
to style-seeking women this season,
is the print dress and hat ensem-
BILE or the print blouse that sells
with matching turban. You will
find as the season progresses that
the theme of the matching hat of
printed silk will prove fashions ia
vorite spring song.
Now that the pastel color craze
is taking the world of fashion by
storm it has become a reigning
vogue to wear a classic draped tur-
ban made of the identical pastel
material that fashions the dress.
The striking dinner gown pictured
in the inset oval illustrates this new
