BEAUTIES; HINTS Bang Flatters An Oval Face
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

An oval or heaAt-shaped face begs for a bang, to the -stylists say, And so believes Broadway's S Nelle Fisher, On the Town" dancer whose elfin charm riyets as many eyes as her twinkling feet.
 That's why she gathered a fan shaped section of hair from the crown, and trimmed it just long enough to be curved gently under.
 A bang is also good to mask high forehead, like mine" says Nelle, and to make a cleaner looking hair line"
 As for upkeep of the hair-do which goes with a bang, Nelle says it's the easiest of all to swing. All she has to do is to wash it often such simplicity demands the most in cleanliness-andr roll up the ends while her hair is drying.

Will Deliver Special Mes
sage On Universal Armed
Service Tuesday

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 - ~
Congressional leaders expect Pres
ident Truman to ask Congress, in
a special message next Tuesday,
for diluted form" Of universal
military training.
And, they predicted today, he
will have a hard time getting it.
While there is no definite knowl-
edge of just what the President
has in mind, Capitol Hill believes,
on the basis of recent White
House talks with some of its lead
ers in the field of military legis-
lation, that Mr.. Truman will not
request outright compulsory train
ing.
Instead, there is general belief
that Mr. Truman will stress plan
calling for building up an armed
reserve by voluntary strengthen
ing of the National Guard and ex-
pansion of the Reserve Officer
Training Corps.
Il haven't the least idea Of what
the President has in mind" said
one representative who discussed
the subject recently with Mr..
Truman. But I would not be sur
prised if he called for expansion
of the ROTC and the National
Guard on a voluntary basis, with
compulsion as a last resort"
That plan, he explained, might
permit youths to take several
years of military training under
home environment either in the
National Guard OF the ROTC, to
provide the equivalent of one full
year of concentrated training as
the Army and the Navy have re-
quested in the past.
Any youth declining to train
under those conditions might be
indicted for one year of training
under Army or Navy auspices. But
without liability for actual mill
tary service except in event of a
national emergency.
Congress, one strongly in favor
of universal training, has cooled
off on the idea since the war
ended. House military committee
members said they did not be-
lieve it possible at this time to
obtain committee approval for
any form of compulsory peace
time training.
1.-The timing has been bad" said
one committee advocate of the
plan. eve could have passed it
during the war. We would have
had a fighting chance even last
summer, but development of the
atomic bomb has just about
thrown the whole thing out the
window"

delayed due to acute shortages Of
building materials and high con-
struction costs, survey Of local

New home construction, in fact,
is virtually nonresident, check
OF city building department permits
showed, although there has been
some small increase in home re-
pair permits issued by the munich
pality.
The shortage of building ma
terlals-brick, lumber, hardware,
doors, sashes, plaster is worse to-
day than during the war, local sup
pliers declared and slight hope is
offered for any improvement be-
fore next summer.
Several construction projects on
which work was begun as long as
year ago remain uncompleted be-
cause OF the scarcity of materials
needed to finish the constructions.
Other impressive building projects
remain on the drawing boards be-
cause Of lack of materials to build.
=, The shortage was explained be-
cause Of the slowness of recover
sion in these industries; one source
re lealed that sash, doors, door

A Wilmington architect said that

with the lack of materials, was a

recently indicated that the cost Of

with the $1,000 building costs OF
