Report From New York
NEW YORK-The opening

NEW YORK.-The opening day
OF the New York Dress Institutes
national press week-that semi
annual gathering Of the fashion
clan which makes it possible for this
reporter and scores Of others from
coast to coast to get an early BIRDS
eye view of the new fall collections
got OF to flying start.
Perhaps the biggest news that has
burst on US so far has been the re-
appearance of long evening dresses.
Women want to look their most
glamorOus when their men come
home-and their men expect them
to. I'VE wouldn't know, but that's
what the designers say and the re-
suits are too pretty to argue abOut.)
They run the glamour gamut from
sweet and simple to sophisticated
and startling with lots that's in
teresting between. Among those

Ironing Rayon
BY Tivian Bro,Un,
Associated Press Feature Writer.

You can achieve good results, in
ironing rayons-and make your job
easier at the same time-by follow
ing q few simple hints.
Always be sure your rayOn gar
ment is washable before you dunk
it, Usually informative labels will
tell whether the fabric has passed
q scientific washing test.
The surface texture of rayon fab
RIGS can be preserved by ironing on
the wrong side over q wel-padded
ironing board. When it Is necessary
to iron sections such as collars.
GUNS or pleats on the right side,
use q press cloth over the fabric.
Try to avoid sprinkling rayons be-
cause this tends to distribute mois-
ture unevenly.
The degree of dampness and the
amount OF heat best for ironing
rayons vary with the type OF fabric.
Washable crepes require q mod
erately hot iron and should be al
most dry to the touch. Wrap crepes
in a towel right after washing, to
take out excess moisture evenly and
prevent dripping to the hem. Re-
move from towel Immediately and
hang on hanger. Don't use too
much pressure with your iron and
be careful not to pull or stretch the
fabric while ironing.
Such heavier spun rayon fabrics

ally used for slacks and tailored

collection features group of smart,
simple, short. black dresses-often
with the pourpoint peplum to break
the line OF an otherwise slim dress.
Getting back to Bruno's new fall
line-up-there's good series of
suits that play fiattering variations
on basic theme of softened waist
line. longer jacket and eye-catching
neckline. Some OF the little jackets
have roll collars, others have tab
details, while all skirts are pared to
chic minimum. The fabric used is
an invisible checked tweed-and
keyed to the suits are matching
jersey blouses, high-draped fez tur-
bans and gloves-and-to strike the
purpose note of the suits, each man.
nequin carried a matching tweed
covered walking stick. Head-to-toe
In one lovely heather color-that,s a
new way to look for fall!
We also liked the group of flower
color suits (zinnia red, zinnia blue,
zinnia gold, etc. in which Bruno
uses new U-line front made by a
U-shaped tuck or flange, sometimes
double.
The new look in coats can be one
of two things-either the slim look
Of fitted wrap with interest at the
back via bow, or pleats stemming
from there-as in a zinnia pink
affair with back fullness flowing
from tiny hustle bow. Or you can
be very chic in the short coated look
such as you'd achieve in Bruno's
billiard green short topper with twin
bows at each side of the neck-the
coat with a surprise lining of black
American broadtail to match a long,
sleeved simple black wool dress. How
we'd love that surprise!

Dirksen Proposes Probe
OF Federal Corporations
BY the Assoc;a,.a pr.s-

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Dirksen. Repub-
iican, of Illinois has proposed a con-
gressional inquiry into "the corpo-
rate wilderness" and "bewilderine
authorities" of the Federal Govern
ment.
1T is time" he told the House
yesterday, "to revest control of the
public purse in the Congress, where
1t belongs"
The Illinois member, an an
nounced candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for President, pro-
posed that Congress abolish all per-
manent appropriations for Federal
agencies and re-examine thoroughly
the needs of such agencies. per
manent appropriations are those
customarily granted without the re-
view special items are given.)
Federal corporations have obli-
gated the Government to the extent
of 1000, ,000, 900, he said.
