 Speaks On The Record
New Deal Made Progress in Spite of Republican Op-

was the G. o. P. which retarded efforts to build up the nations de- lenses before the war.
 National Program
 Tn spite of this opposition the Congressman said, the Democratic administration under the outstand- ing leadership of President Roose- welt, rebuilt the army and navy to point where, when war did come, there was an armed force that would not have been possible if Republi- can policies had been allowed to prevail.
 Tn the intrest of a successful prosecution of the war to an early victory" Congressman Maciora said, Tn the intrest of good government; I ask you to consider seriously the negative record of the Republican party rather that the promises of its candidates. Because it is by their deeds you shall know them, and not by their words shall you judge them.
 Tt shall be my aim in the future, as it has been in the past, by my work and by my votes, to support our country in the prosecution of the war and at the same time not to impose any unnecessary hard ships on our people.
 Our Commander-in-C Chief needs the cooperation of loyal supporters in Congress. Our Commander-in- Chief needs the continued support of the Hurley administration in Connecticut.
 Hurley'S Record
 Governor Hurley's administration of our State Government has been outstanding. His progressive leader ship has restored good, clean and sound government and secured the enactment of legislation for the benefit of all our people. He and our State Officers, as we'll as the Democratic members of the House and Senate, have cooperated with the Federal Government in every way possible to further the wal program.

THREE BREMEN
 ON GUARD DUTY
Assigned to Coast Patrol Boats in New London
 Area

Three Waterbury firemen who en- listed in the U. s. Coast Guard be- gan active duty today at New Lon- don. Given leaves of absence by the board of fire commissioners they will be assigned ito f1re-fight- ing boats of the Coast Guard.
 Beginning duty with the armed forces today were Lieut.. Walter Joy, Private Joseph Maloney an6 Private William Clasby. Two other firemen, Private John Murphy ano Private John Lynch, had received their Coast Guard service orders earlier in the week.
 Additional members of the fire department are known to be seek ing enlistmeint in the Coast Guard but none has yet applied for a leave of absence.
 Lack of manpower is becoming g more and more serious threat tc the fire department. Permanent successors to the men given leaves cannot be appointed, and difficulty will be experienced in securing men who will agree to remain with the fire department only until the mer given leaves return home.
 The fire board has announced that no more leaves will be granted un- til the firemen seeking them have been already inducted into service.

Meanwhile oil dealers are dis tributing books to their customers and aiding them in noting the re- quired information. Each dealer must certify the amount of fuel oil consumed by the purchaser during the past year, and where this is not possible the opinion of an archi- tect or other expert on the amount required per year must be obtained and certified.

 CONFIRMING HERE
Deferments to Be Dis- cussed Here By Selective
 Services Executives

The increasingly important prob lem of occupational deferments will be discussed at a meeting of local Selective Service officials tonight at the City Hall. The meeting which will be attended by members of boards, advisory boards, appeals boards and chief clerks, will be ad- dressed by Colonel George E. Stur- ges, assistant state director of &c., lective Service and Lieutenant Will liam B. Pape, occupational adviser at state headquarters.
 A similar meeting will be held in Bridgeport next Wednesday night.
 With local boards reaching the end of their supply of IA, 1t has become most important to have a clarification on the question of oc- cupational deTerments. It has al- ready been necessary to call up many men who were engaged in war industries. Heavier calls of men in this category will have to be made in future months, as the sit- uation now stands.
 Employers have increased pro- tests to the board that men vjtally needed in industry are being called for service. The boards have been able only to reply that they must fill their quotas.

Hollywood Designers Fall Into Line
Vars Fns Elaborate Modes

Something short OF a sharp,
swift blow with a hammer has at
last succeeded in SOLDERING up the
Hollywood designers. After a
grand and glorious spree Of many
years duration during which the
password was Lets be more
lavish and more super-extrava-
CANT than ever before" Holly
wood has at last calmed down, at
least where fashions are con-
cerned. Now suffering from a
WPB hangover, the boys and girls
who dress the stars have been
forced to turn to simplicity and
economy in order to comply with
the new regulations about the
width, length and handling of
women's clothes.
Depressing though it may be
to the designers who have long
had a free hand in creating
screen stars costumes, this new
restriction should turn out to be
advantageous for Mrs. Public.

Smart Washington Women Are Wenr1ng-

Those midsummer doldrums
that fashion writer's are always
screaming about seem to have
skipped lightly over the ward
robes of Washington lovelies.
Instead of looking like tired
left-overs, the costumes now
being glimpsed about town are
fresh, cool and completely style
right. The rowing fashion re-
porters have been prepared to
cast a tolerant eye on clothes
which appear at the end of
summer, but no such forgiving
attitude is necessary or even pos
sible this year. Feminine resi-
dents of the Capital remain un-
dismayed by the temperature,
the hectic pace Of the town and,
most of all, by the fact that new
summer clothes virtually have
disappeared from the stores. In
their daytime activities our la
dies are trim and well groomed;
for their moments of relaxation
they present cool, dainty ap-
pearance in soft, appealing din
ner gowns of all types.

Of tropical print--mostly vivid
shades of green, deep blue and
yellow The combination was
most becoming to her dark hair,
which she wears a la Veronica
Lake, with a flower tucked in on
one side. Lana was glimpsed
again on Sunday afternoon-this
time in a smart street-length
dress of black lace, ankle strap
black sandals, sheer black hose
and a tiny black hat surmounted
with gardenias. These gals from
Chicago have certainly got the
looks and the style.
Also partial to black lace are
the vivacious blond Moller twins,
Mary and Jane, who are old
schoolmates of Lana's and are
headed out to Lake Forest for a
visit there with her on her re-
turn. They dress alike, and two
OF their smartest frocks are short,
peplum-skirted affairs of black
crepe, the peplums edged with
deep band of starched black lace,
which is repeated around the
short sleeves. The twins have

their sleek golden hair. An

Watch for the devices which con-
ceal the figure weaknesses that
even actresses possess. Look at
the clever drape Of skirt, the
closing of a bodice or the use
of a chin litter" bow.
The attitude Of the designers
is summed up in a statement
from Edith Head who says,
preliminary sketches Of gowns
for a picture are frequently
made a year before the Aim
reaches the screen, therefore
conflne myself to simple lines
and quality fabrics. Costumes
for the screen, In accord with the
rules of order LBS, will con-
tinue to be attractive but prac-
tical. We face the same limita-
tions that confront the manufac-
turing designers. We cannot
ignore them to gain an effect,
SO these new rules merely are a
new challenge to our ingenuity"
And it's a challenge, we feel
sure, that the designers will meet
with skill, understanding and a
nice Interpretation OF the ap-
proved silhouette.
Evening star., 1942-08-01

more simple and therefore in
better taste, it should be more
difficult to go wrong while copy
ing the current screen sensation.
Don't think for moment, how
ever, that the designers are going
to have an easy time. Remember
that they must first be a step or
two ahead of current fashions
except in the case of costume pic
lures. And that, incidentally,
brings to mind the question of
costumes. Are they affected by
WPB regulations? And If so, how
will Marie Antoinette look In a
skirt u inches wide? But to
resume, the designers must not
only be just one jump ahead of
the public, but they must also
make clothes that will catch the
eye Of the camera and the at
tention of the audience. This
allows for no skimping in de-
tail and no compromise in quail
ty of fabric.
Let 1T never be said that the
designers are not ingenious,
though, and already they are
working out clever little bits OF
handling that promise to replace

Despite the fact that changes
will be made, the Hollywood de-
signers assure us that the
clothes worn by the stars will
be as chic and as influential as
ever. Rules and regulations
don't frighten the California
creators-they've had restrictions
for years, ranging from those
which naturally arise from the

what you are looking for-is pre-
sented in pattern No. 1642-B. The
th-fitting button front bodice
and the full-gathered skirt make
it becoming for girls OF all sizes

ways to make it, with the neck
cut low, or with a high neck fln-
ished with the smart new "Puri-
tan" collar and cuffs.
If you choose the latter version,
you might make it of deep blue
velveteen, and trim the collar
and cuffs with fine lace, for
perfect party frock. Or, If your
child is red-head, with fair
skin, make it of pale gray taffeta.
and the collar and cuffs of
