News for Modern Women
Or Maybe
Vice Versa?
By JANE COCHRAN

International News Service Fashion Editol
THE MUCH debated question
rs 10 whether hat should be
purchased to match the hair-do
or whether you should make
your couture conform to the
hat has been solved by sue
cessful truce. Hats are now
being designed TO complement
the fashionable hair styles and
vice versa.
MiIliners are showing a series
of hair-do hats-bonnets that
utilize the hair as an impor-
tant addition to the hat lines.
Ls Pompsdour
There's a small scarlet calot
In an all-over ridged felt. with
a humming-bird perched at the
side. and a tiny nose veil. It's
worn at the crown of the head
with a waved, broken pompadour
and provides equal hat and hair
emphasis.
II the pompadour is not for
you. there's a profile brim hat
a swashbuckling high crowned
hat in bright green with It's
diagonally sectloned brlm de-
signed TO be worn upped or
down. It's al its best when
combined with a profile couture
which sweeps upward on the
left side exposed by the hat.
Bangs are returning to popu-
larity and they're framed by an
off the-face hat. The hat has
tall, softly fiared brim and a
grosgrain chin strap.
Popular Trend
Off-the-face hats in all mate
rial, even the fuzzy beaver felt,
are a popular favorite.
Tiny pill boxes to perch on
top OF the head are often law
ishly trimmed. especially when
designed for cocktail wear.
The classic snap-brim, high
crowned hat, beloved by women
for casual and sports wear, has
been transformed into a dress
hat. Lavish all-over embroidery
has made the transition possible.

WELLES No. I BOSS
IN CABINET NOW

Under diplomatic or military
pressure at every hour of the
day. Acting Secretary Of state
Summer Welles has become the
No. boss Of the Roosevelt
cabinet. Quietly hut firmly,
he has had to interfere in the
affairs of every cabinet member
remotely associated with the
general foreign problem.
Not so long ago he persuaded
Secretary Wiekard 10 recon-
mend Importation Of fresh beef
from TERRA del Fuego. even
though such meats have long
been banned from Argentina
because hoof-and-mouth disease
existed in some areas. Then
Mr.. Welles induced former At
torney General jackson TO rule
formally that this was legal.
on protest OF Senator o'Mahoney
of Wyoming. the Jackson opinion
is being restudied. Our head dip
lemat also cracked down when
full cabinet member and Petro-
leum Co-ordinator Ickes seized
an oil shipment in New York
Harbor that was headed for
Japan The action might have
interferred with our present
policy of "sppessins' Tokyo.
Likewise. Mr.. welles has pre-
vented the y NJ J. from adopt
ing a too aggressive policy
toward suspected japanese
trouble-mskers.
Indeed Welles even has soft
ened and rewritten some Of
FDR's own statements. After
the latter declared that hostile
occupation Of Dakar or the
Azores would endsnger our Sc
eurity. the Acting Secretary
felt impelled TO assure yichy and
Lisbon that we had no intention
of pulling an Iceland on their
territories.

That is not the American way. Here there is

REVISION OF ARMY
TRAININGS NEEDED

The recent army maneuvers in
Tennessee revealed the need for
a speedy revision OF the system
of training both veterans and
army. greater attention must be
given to the detailed instruction
of such small units as squads
and platoons.
The men showed excellent
morale. but they lacked even
initial expert knowledge IN
handling small difficulties. speci-
fieally. the problem now is 10
train an attacking squad or
platoon so that it will act auto
maucally and efficiently when it
is held up by an enemy force or
pill box. Each non-com must
be taught his proper role and
each soldier must learn what his
function is.
There are many conditions
when isolated units have to de-
pend upon their own judgment,
but the one cited is most illus
trative. The men also must be
taught how to cooperate more
intelligently with other arms
such as tanks. machine gun
crews. armored forces and avia-
ton. The Tennessee tests. as re-
viewed by the general staff.
showed the new army To be sad
" deficient in this field of fight
ing.
The discovery viii add many
months 10 the time required TO
produce a modern military ma
chine. For after the hattalions
and regiments and divisions
have been broken down to per-
nit this sort Of instruction. they
will have to be taught how 10
use their new skill as part Of a
vast. strategic force. But when
the Job is done, the L. S. should
have an army which knows how
TO wage modern war as instinc-
lively and brilliantly as Hitler's
does.

ARMY OPPOSED
To S0LoNs' VIEWS

Army officials are bitterly op-
posed TO congressional demands
for fun publicity on the opera
ton Of the draft boards, which
they consider unfair to indivi-
duals who may be deferred for
reasons of health or dependency.
Protection Of these groups has
been strict army policy since
the draft was instituted in the
World War. The files Of the
1917 call now are kept at the
Army War college. Except for
those two catecories. they are
open TO public inspection.
