Want Old Suit to Look New?
Just Cut off Trouser Cuffs
W. P B. Merees Style and Patriotism in
Putting Clippings to Work Elsewhere

Mems fashion note, by courtesy
Of the War Production Board:
Do you want to make last years
suit look like a new one? Chop off
the trouser cuffs.
The trouSer cuffs. ordered elimi-
mated by the War Production Board
after March 30. are the one clue
to the age of the suit, as far as the
casual observer is concerned.
After all. w P. B. spokesman
pointed out, two-pants suits have
been eliminated but you only wear
one pair at a time.
Although the order, issued last
week. applies to suits manufactured

ufactured even last fall. the pants
will be adjusted to his length-but
no cuffs will be put on.

The w P. B., it was explained,
didn't want to do anything too
drastic. throwing last years suits
completely out of style-but if men
do cut off the cuffs of their old
suits TO be in style, that's all right
with w P. B. too
The w P. B. spokesman estimated
that ready-to- wear stores cut from

would be further ahead by at least
10000 900 pounds of wool. enough to
make 100000 uniforms for soldiers.
When the retailer chops off the
trouser legs to measure. he is sup
posed to save the clippings and sell
them to rag or clip dealer. The
combination of patriotism and re-
muneration is expected to make the
tailors follow that procedure.
Go Through Reprocessing.
The rag picker then sends off his
supply to one of the factories that
has the special equipment for re-
processing wool There the clip
pings that would have been cuffs
are sterilized, bleached and chopped
like hamburgers.
The w. P. B. official was en-
thusiastic about the value of repro
ceSsed wool. 1t makes beautiful

considered all wool though the wool

wool will be put in defense produc-
ton depends on how much the

last years suits may see service on
the backs of the armed forces.

D. c. Housing Bill

A resolution designed TO halt con-
struction of a temporary Govern
ment information center at Four
teenth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV. awaited action by the
House Public Buildings and Grounds
Committee today.
Early consideration Of the reSOlu-
ton, introduced late yesterday by
Representative Satterheld, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, was promised by
Chairman Lanham, who said the
committee would call it up after it
has acted on the $40 900, 900 housing
bill for the District.
Several other developments fol-
lowed introduction of the resolution
by Mr. Satterfield.
Byrd Unit Calls Mellett.
First. the joint Congressional
Economy Committee headed by Sen
ator Byrd, Democrat. of Virginia,
asked Lowell Mellett, director of the
office of Government Reports, to
appear before it Friday to explain
the necessity for the information
center.
Second. Representative DirkSen,
Republican. of Illinois, in a fiery
speech on the House floor. deplored
the use of 100000 to build the
center which he described as a
temple of wisdom
The Satterfield resolution pro-
vides' that no money heretofore
appropriated shall be used for
either building or eQuipping any
building for the o. G. r. unless
Congress specifically authorizes the
use of the Government funds for
such purposes.
Announcing introduction of the
resolution, Mr.. Satterfield told the
House the proposed new information
center is "in no way related to the
war effort" and expressed the opin-
ion it would not make ANY contrl-
button to the useful dissemination
of information.
Sees Funds for Four Bombers.
Mr.. Dirksen said his heart had
been distressed" because S6C0,0OO
is being used to build the temple
of wisdom at Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue.
Its a shame and an outrage to
spend this money for a temporary
building that is to be destroyed
after the war" he declared, when
that money would buy four good
bombers or four first-class inter-
ceptors."
Further. Mr. Dirksen pointed out
the $600,000 would pay the rent of
the present quarters of o. G. R.
for % years
This is a fine example for the
people of the country" he declared,
when we shout at them for ma
tional unity"
Mr.. Dirksen explained he passed
the site of the building the other
day and observed the preliminary
work, which, he said, reminded him
of "a rather resplendent stockade

Army Order Closes
Van Ness Street al
Bureau Of Standards
Sabotage PrecoutIon
Token in Spite of
Protests by Citizens
Star Staff Photo.

Van Ness street NV. between
Connecticut avenue and Reno road,
running between two sections of the
Bureau of Standards property, was
closed yesterday by direction of the
War Department.
The action came de1pite vigorous
protests of civic groups against the
proposal when it was advanced last
year as means of protection against
sabotage
Signs were placed at both ends
of the stretch yesterday and guards
were stationed to prevent motorists
and pedestrians from using that
portion of the street.
DR.. Lyman J. Briggs, director of
the bureau. said today decision to
close the street was made BY Br.g.
Gen. Albert L. Cox in his capacity
as provost marshal for the District
of Columbia. and signs were placed
barring traffic in the name Of the
Secretary of War.
Closing Not Barred.
When tire proposal first was a.d-
vanced as a security measure last
year. it was suggested the closing
was prohibited by an Act of Con-
gress approved in 1880 which au-
thorized certain land purchases by
the research agency.
DR.. Briggs today reiterated his
difference with than view. declaring
the acts provision merely stated it
should not be construed as author
izing the closing. On the other
hand, it did not specifically ban the
move. DR.. Briggs explained
The order closes the only link be-
tween Connecticut avenue and Reno
road between Tilden and Albemarle
streets, distance of about half a
mile
DR., Briggs urged the closing at a
public heating before the District
Commissioners last year but more
than score of property owners and
residents lodged vigorous protests.
DR.. Briggs said at that time he
believed it to be the only means of
protecting the property adequately.
The director said fencing both sides
of the street and posting guards on
!. both sides would mean a large ad-
ditional expense
Residents Protest Order.
Residents of the area insisted the
closing would create anew obstacle
to smooth flow of traffic Several
suggested combining tunnels or
overpasses with fencing of property
on both sides of the thoroughfare
Subsequent to the hearing. the
Commissioners announced oppoSi-
tion to the closing, but Secretary of
Commerce Jones asked Congress for
specific legislation.
The Streets and Traffic Subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee killed a bill sponsored by
Secretary Jones after hearing dur
ing which citizens again registered
objections.
