REDS IN ARMY
ARE DISCLAIMED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-UP)
The War Department officials
who advised military commanders
recently that Communists could be-
come commissioned officers so
long as their loyalty to the United
States was unquestioned, revealed
today that there are no Red Of
ficers in the Army and that there
won't be.
Assistant Secretary OF War John
J. McCloy and Maj. Gen. Clayton
L. Bissell, assistant chief OF staff
in charge Of Army Intelligence
and Counter-Intelligence, testified
before d House Military Affairs
subcommittee inouiring into
charges that War Department reg
ulations permitted the commission
ing of subversives.
But. they asserted time and
again, War Department policy has
been, is, and will continue to be
based fundamentally upon loyalty,
not what candidates past per-
suasions were, and that test, Nc
Cloy said, applies equally to
Communists, anarchists, to adher-
ents of Nazism, Fascism or the
divinity of the japanese emperor.
The inquiry was ordered by
Chairman Andrew J. May, CKY)
after publication of what purport-
ed to be new Army directive
governing commissions. McCloy
and Bissell confirmed joint author
ship Of directives issued February
5, 1914 and December 80 of the
same year pertaining to commits
;sioning of subversives. But, they
insisted, the directives were issued
becaue field commanders de-
,manded "yardstick" to measure
Communism. T h e i r frequently
voiced plant was, "What is a
Communist and what do we do
about it..

-(P)-For the first time in this

German civilian refugees crowd

Sailors, Flower Hats
Featured in Shows
Trend Back to Gorgeous
Creations Apparent.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

What a treat to the eye are the
perky little sailors with their pro-
vocative little wells and ribbon
bands! The very unusualness of the
new high crowns and their wee
brims catches ones fancy at first
glance and the feeling grows on
one that a sailor is just the fashion
first you'll buy for spring.
Seems as if these saucy little sail
ors have names. There's the little
vivacious SISSY" sailor. It is win
ming its way right into the heart
of American women. Its crown is
high, its brin is tiny. Banded with
wide grosgrain ribbon with animal
ed streamers at the back, it's If
resistible. You'll find it ultra chic
with your spring suit.
As to the adorable little flower
hats that came trooping in without a
word Of warning right in the midst
Of winter, a vote of thanks should
60 to the powers that be who
launched these little lovelies so sur
prisingly early this season. Worn
with fur coats, they prove veritable
morale builders on a day when skies
are gray. IT'S said that this Easter
will be one of the foweriest ever,
so far as hats are concerned.
What with the early advent Of
flower hats followed by the appear
ance on the scene of host of clev-
erest-ever sailor hats, it is very ap-
parent that the new millinery sea-
son has had a perfect start-off.
Looking about at preview show
ings the very beautifully and YER
satilely styled hats gives one feel
ing that at last the long-hoped-for
return of real millinery" is a
dream that has come true. 1t takes
the genius of experts to handle rib
bons, flowers, beautiful straw
braids, fabrics and whimsical wells
as they are being worked with this
season. And believe it or not, wire
frames are being used again. Only
a milliner-born would attempt wire
frames. It's this way many of the
dressier hats are being made Of
sheer materials, worked in frilly
lightsome way, and a firm founda-
ton is necessary.
Just now the paramount theme is
the suit hat and the new collections
are bringing out stunning, practical
fashions. The most distinctive trend
is toward higher crowns and larger
headsizes. Then too, much empha-
sis is placed on dramatically draped
and beribboned turbans. The tur-
ban-cloche is an important spring
silhouette, which combines flatter-
ing higher crown that slants toward
the back, with comfortable head
fit achieved with a sort of cloche ex-
tension in front.

good, EXCEPT the woman who is
always behindhand with her bills and
short of money. It doesn't matter
whether your income is $1,000 a
year or S5,0OO-if you are slipshod
and unsystematic in your handling
of it, if you live in a constant state
of neglected bills and money short
age, you are destroying every
chance you have for happiness in
the new postwar world.
End Money Worries.
It's no excuse to say that you don't
exactly know how much money
you'll have, from month to month.
In that case reduce your outgo to
the minimum income, and save
whatever is over. Or, if it is the
man of the family who wastes, is
extravagant, won't fall in line, then
get job, use your own money, and
know where you stand.
These are not days of trifies. The
issues that face us are titanic.
What shattered world can do at
a peacetable is an inchoate and
far away thing; hundreds of voices
will be heard at that table, and they
may begin quarreling again - over
the peace itself.
But YOUR household may be a
little oasis of peace and order; a
place of hospitality, happiness, har-
mony. By making it that you lift
just so much of burden off the
great burden of the world. Yet set
an example of charity and kindness,
when you make an older person an
honored member of your family. You
relieve your husband of his deepest
anxiety when you convince him that
you can live happily, without debt.
You raise better children when you
don't worry about them all the time.
You make yourself more attractive
when you forget that there are other
attractive women in the world-all
trying to get Roy away from you.
We're going to need strong, wise
women in the postwar world, and
children raised in an atmosphere of
simplicity, economy, reasonable sac
rifice, affection. We're going to need
GOODNESS. The more you can as
semble under your roof the better
for US all.

Whins of Fashion

The plaid shirt with shirt tails
flying is new Sportswear fad taken
up by the teen-age group. It's the
kind of shirt that looks as if it be-
longed in big brothers wardrobe.
Usually it is worn with Stacks for
outings and sports.
Very lovely and distinctly "dif-
ferent" looking are the new SUM-
burst earrings. These are delicately
wrought quite after the manner Of
the ever beloved sunburst brooches
of yore. From a center jewel gold
sprays radiate in light openwork eff
feet.
A shower of little tassels falling
down at one side over the couture,
is something new in the way of a
very becoming and smart hat trim.
Each little black tassel (Seven in the
group is attached to narrow rib
bon streamer, the ribbon cut in diff
ferent lengths. These be-tasseled
ribbons are then sewed underneath
the brim at one side, achieving a
unique and attractive effect.

In Victorian days great grand

n IRIS. A. is fretting herself

his office. She says she trusts

but you know what these widows
are-and if Roy should 60 off the
track, with lovely mother like
his, a devoted wife, two splendid
boys
Mrs. B. is beside herself because
life could be so perfect if only Har-
old's mother wasn't with them. She's
been with them seven years. She's
a perfectly darling old woman, she
watches the children and does Won
ders in the kitchen, but, oh dear,
there are times when one would like
to have the house to oneself
Mrs. C. worries about money.
Where does it 60 to? Why are the
C's, with just one child to worry
about, always behindhand with bills,
always in debt, always unable to do
the pleasant wasteful things that 9TH

She worries about their eyes, teeth,

They are normal, attractive chill

Mrs. G.-but why 60 on? The list
is endless. Everyone Of us is beset
with anxieties and responsibilities,
little and big, and when one van
ishes another jumps up to take its
place.
Unfortunately, some of these, in
these sad days, are legitimate trou-
bles. When beloved son or hus-
band or brother is away in the serv-
ice our hearts may well be heavy;
the only cure for this worry is
prayer, and by divine paradox only
prayer will help us to find prayer
so the start on that road is hard.
Put Aside Trifes.
But for the rest, do let US learn
something, as American women in
the most fearful crisis the world
has ever known. Let US try to de-
velop character. Let US put aside
all the trifles that annoy us, face
our problems and solve them, re-
member that children do grow up;
that plain girls and stubborn boys
turn into quite attractive groWnups,
and marry, and start worrying in
their turn.
Remember that even if Roy goes
pretty far with the grass-widow in
the office, he'll not be the first, and
your course is just to face the hu-
initiating truth and survive it and
grow stronger for it.
Remember that it's good thing
for everyone to have Grandpa or
Grandma living in the family. 1t
