NEW BAN ON CLOTHES FOR
 WOMEN NOW

WASHINGTON, May 27. -- The War Production Board has decreed q ban on the manufacture of wo- mems double breasted suits and some other special types of gar rnents. limited cuff buttons to two and instituted two-way control on use of fabrics aimed at trimming the sweep of evening gowns.
 At the same time, the WIPE lift cd it's original ban on the use of wool for Innings and pockets and said it was acting to encourage in creased unit output of women's and childrens clothing out of available cotton, rayon and wool fabrics
 The body basic,' or the basic silhouette of the untrimmed dress, and the trimming allowance" or restrictions on the size and design of fabric trimmings, constitute the new double control of fabric use.
 Brought under restriction for the first time in revision of WIPES clothing production conservation order LBS, are maternity dresses and all types of neckwear.
 Newly banned, in addition to double breasted suits and jackets are culottes, skating skirts, rever- sible or lined or quilted skirts, dresses with bi-swing or Norfolk backs, and epaulets.
 Buttons on cuffs and the number of pockets for every garment, ex- cept skirts, were limited to two Skirts may not have more than one pocket.
 The trimmin allowance is achieved by square inch limitations of fabric usage, with the maximum equivalent to half yard of 39- inchmaterial Design is restricted in width, thickness and depth of neck-wear items, Bows, ruffles and other frills likewise are limited.
 The body basic control regula- tions are designed to narrow the sweep of evening gowns and skirts and to eliminate the peg-top skirt, which came into fashion when the original order limited skirt hem measurements but not skirt top measurement.
 Nor can there be any more be- tween-length dressy dresses, for dress must either conform to ankle length evening dress regulations or daytime length measurements
 Maternity dresses, and dresses for women more than feet 2 1f2 inches tall, may be one inch longer than the prescribed dress length for regular sizes.
 Although maternity dress allow ances are restricted for the first time, the hip measurement may ex- ceed the body basic measurement without curtailing any other mea- surements allowed in usual wo- mems wear.
 The WIPE emphasizes that the revision, as well as the original L-S5 order, allows wide designing lati- tude. At the same time, the an- nouncement said, the basic mea- surements are planned to keep ex- isting wardrobes in fashion and to discourage nonessential purchases for replacements.
 The order takes effect now for autumn and winter clothing which manufacturers soon will be cutting, and July 1 for summer wear.

wicks is 66-year-old Max Rosner, who arrived here from Hungary when he was 12. A cigar manufac- turer. Rosner first regarded the ball club as a sideline hobby and an advertisement for his stogies. But in 1919 he sold his tobacco business and turned all his attention to baseball. Now he has an organlza- ten. team and park, worth, some say. a half million dollars. His park is bigger than some major league layouts and his players are paid more than those in some minor leagues.
 "Our first club Rosner recalls, "cost S49.50 in salaries for one game. Today we pay more than SlOo to one man. We gave Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig S3,600 for one after noon"
 Many youngsters on their way to the majors get their start with the Bushwicks and some oldsters, on the way out, finish their string at Dexter Park. Major league teams sometimes play exhibition games with Rosners club and, after the big league season is over, stars form teams to play the Bushwicks.
 Cubs Sign Two
 Tn october, 1940, the Cincinnati battery, Bucky Walters and Jim my wilson, opposed the Bushwicks, and that attraction has caused Ros- ner more than passing worry. For Wilson, now Cubs manager, re- membered Wally Signer, then a Rushwick hurler, and a few weeks ago signed him as well as veter- an southpaw, Bill Sahlin, for the Cubs. Signer, in winning seven straight last summer, hurled AZ 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings.
 A trio of Yankees are former Bushwicks. Marius Russo got his start at Dexter Park and Hank Borowy pitched several ga m there Paul Schreiber's control with the Bushwicks so impressed the Tanks that he was lured away to become batting practice tosser for the Bronx Bombers.
 Joe DiMaggio, Hank Greenberg Mel Ott, Bill Terry, Dig Dean, Phil Rizzuto and Buddy Hassett are only few major leaguers who have played against the Bushwicks in recent years.
 Two former big leaguers are or the Bushwick roster now-A Cue cinello, former National League in- fielder and brother of the Braves Tony, and Eddie Roland, one time Phillies outfielder. Going back a few years they pitched Waite Hoyt at $500 month-and George Earnshaw and these veterans will vouch for the Bushwick opposition furnished by other Eastern inde- pendent and Negro national league clubs.
 Sent Four To Pro Ball
 The Bushwicks sent four play CTS to pro ball this spring. Besides Signer and Sahlin, Catcher Tony DePhillips and Gar Del Savio are with the Reds The Dodgers, too have added to Rosner's woes They're after his new mound ace Wally Holborow, who pitched 2C scoreless innings.
 Rosner regards the Lansdale, Pa. Hawks, the Stamford Pioneers Hartford Gems, West Haven Sail ors, Springfield Greys, Union City Reds and Mount Vernon Scarlets among the top Eastern independ- ent clubs.

Subsidy Legislation Is Headache To La1u Makers

Washington, Nov. 19-(UP)-The house opened the second day of de- bate on anti-subsidy legislation to- day with a warning from subsidy supporters that passage of the ban would compel President Roosevelt to yield to constant pressure from labor" for general wage increases.
 Rep. A. s. Mike Monroney, D., Okla. spokesman for the minority fighting to save the administrations subsidy program, declared that if the anti-subsidy bill were passed and the president decided not to veto it. he would be in an excellent position to grant wage increases and blame it on congress for having caused the higher food costs that must result from the ban"
 MT. Roosevelt, he said, is under constant pressure from labor to break the Little Steel formula" and if subsidies were outlawed the re- sultant increase in the cost of food may well compel him to accede to labor's demands, thereby accelerat- Ing the inflationary movement.

 Talks India Now

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 19. (UP)- Rep. Clare Boothe Luce, R., Conn.,, said last night that the granting of independence to India would bring threat of total destruction to the British Empire.
 Mrs. Luce issued the warning in an address at the University of Rochesters conference on the United Nations in the Pacific. If American moral and diplo- matic pressure helps India-the only indispensable strategic key stone of the arch of the British Colonial Empire-obtain indepen- dence, We risk condemning Great Britain to a severe economic de- pression by not only splitting the Empire structure in twain, but shattering it to pieces" she said we Americans, for our own self interest, dare not so weaken the British Commonwealth and destroy power structure which, in spite of all the evils of its imperialism, has helped to keep order and de- cency in the world

Fighters escorted the For. tresses all the way to their targets, the 9th U. s. Air Force announced, but the ob- jectives were not specified. It was the third American heavy bomber raid on Europe in four days.
 The RAF night raiders were be- lieved to have sent more than D. 500 tons of bombs-5, ,O00, 900 pounds of steel and explosives-crashing down on Berlin and Ludwigshafen, disintegrating buildings and start ing huge eonflagrations that could be seen above the clouds for scores of miles.
 The largest previous weight of bombs dropped on Germany in 8 single night was 2,300 tons unloaded on Hamburg on July 27.
 The fleet of night raiders con- sisted entirely of heavy bombers laden with bombs ranging up to 8,000- pound per-blockbusters.
 The twin raids constituted the first 1,000-plane one-night assault since the spring and summer of 1942, when only slightly smaller fleets concentrated their cargoes of de- struction on Cologne, Essen and Bremen on May 30, June 1 and June 25 respectively.
 The average load carried by each of the 1942 bombers, most of which were tWin-engined, was only l 1-2 tons, however, whereas, last nights Armada consisted almost entirely of four -engined bombers with an average load of at least hree tons each.
 More than half the filling fleet smashed at Berlin, the worlds third largest city and the biggest war production center in Axis Eu- rope, in what approached and per- haps exceeded the heaviest raid of the war on the capital last August 23, when 1900 tons of bombs were dropped.
 Clouds Hamper
 Clouds prevented immediate ob- servation of results, the air minis try said, but the sky was painted red by the glow of billowing flames sweeping through strategic indus trial sections below.
 The official German news agency DNB called the raid, the 87th of the war on Berlin, "terror" attack.

FDR Orders Men To Work

Peabody, Mass, Nov. 19-(UP)- The 250O striking employees in 32 Pea body and Salem leather plants will be back at their jobs soon in compli- ance with President Roosevelt's or der, it was indicated today.
 Members of the Independent Ma tional Leather Workers Association planned a mass meeting for later in the day at which jurisdictional difficulties with the International Fur & Leather Workers Union (CIO) are expected to be ironed out. Exc cutives of the tanneries hoped to be able to resume production Monday. The workers have been out since Nov. 8 despite back-to- work orders by the regional and national war labor boards.
 In his telegram yesterday. MT. Roosevelt said the strike was 'in- excusable" and constituted "a chal- lenge to government by law He directed that all picketting cease and all employees return to their jobs. Orderly procedures exist for reviewing workers grievances, the President wrote, but such proce- dures cannot be made available while the workers are on strike.
 Reaction to the presidential or der was varied. Richard B. O'Keefe, CIO representative in the area, fa- vored an immediate return in az cordance with the directive and as- serted that it was unfortunate that "the matter had to go to such high authority to prove our contentious"
 Joseph P. Harrington, counsel for the NLWA, said he believed Presi- dent Roosevelt's telegram would i'm pede the chances of successful arbi- tration." The CIO affiliate would feel the case had been decided in its favor and would shun comprom- ise attempts, Harrington said.

 "If the change on the battlefronts can make important savings pos sible in the army and navy appro- priations, there's no reason to be- lieve that check of the maritime commission wouldn't produce similar results.

 Liberator and Mitchell bombers launched the attack to blast Buka's strongholds between the U. s. Bou- gainville beachhead 75 miles south- east and Rabaul with Cotton at tack Tuesday. Two hundred para chute bombs were floated down on enemy centers, chiefly Bonis air drome, while the warships eased in- to the passage between Buka ana Bougainville.

News Curb Must Go
 Editor Says

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 19 = (U. P.) - Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, today warned that government encroachments on free interchange of news necesSitated as a temporary war measure, must be eliminated immediately after the war if free international dissemin- ation of news is to continue.
 Baillie, in an address before the Advertising Club of Cleveland, pointed out that great progress had been made toward such independent competitive news gathering and transmission prior to the war. He told how the United Press took the lead in this, beginning i'll 1907 when the U. P. was organized.
 Before the United Press was formed" Baillie said, "news of the world outside the United States was controlled by a few big European agencies. Some of them were sub sidized outright by their govern ments, so that they would report only what those governments de- sired. Some enjoyed preference in getting officials news and transmit ting it by wire and cable.
 "The American press and people had to get most of their world news from those foreign agencies. Also the world outside got its story of the United States through those same European channels.
 U. P. Founded
 Then the United Press was founded upon the principle of free interchange of news among nations. to which basic policy it has adhered ever since. From the day of its or ganization, the United Press was in competition with the world wide system of interlocking news monop olies. In pursuit of new gathered independently by it's own corre- spondents,> the United Press broke down the old restrictions wherever it encountered them.
 Meanwhile, for many years. other press associations chose to remain within, the cartel agreements while the United Press continued develop ment of its own news gathering or ganiZatio throughout the world. These other agencies exchanged news with one another and ire quently disseminated it in their own countries as if it had come
