5 MOVIE QUEENS
 TAKE FEM OFF
BY VIRGINIA MACPHERSON

Hollywood, March 29-(UP)-Five shapely movie queens staged a strip poker session for the United Nation al Clothing drive last night, and they really took em off.
 The five movie queens were Toni ', Ann Miller, Evelyn Ankers, Nina Foch, and Renee De Marco. The Ruves they revealed for sweet char ity's sake would never pass a movie censor.
 The strip poker game-and here this story begins to make sense- was unanswered by Russell Birdwell, their press agent. He has, he insist ed, a very warm heart for the needy of the liberated countries.
 The male reporters arrived early with pencils-and eyes-sharpened. A couple of female newshounds were there too-with show me" glint in their eyes.
 And the five movie starlets showed em. Flushing prettily and appearing mighty embarrassed by it all, they peeled off layer after layer. If they took turns at losing a hand, the reporters didn't seem to notice.
 Birdwell explained the party, staged in the garden of his swanky home, was to help raise one hundred and fifty million pounds of old clothes. Said he thought take off your clothes for the old clothes drive" was a catchy slogan. and his o1i yTyn1lld ha honfNU fn dnnQtn what they took off to the drive.
 Miss had the worst luck. Each time she tried to fill a straight, she lost another layer Finally she sat Shivering in pink brasSiere and a pair of black lace Watchamacallums, with pink satin eyes and "Ohhn la, la!" embroidered across her hips,
 Miss Foch peeled down to pair of white lace panties. She kept her blouse on, she explained, because she didn't have anything on under meath. Miss Miller did ditto. But she kept holding aces, much to the camermen's disgust.
 Miss Ankers shed everything but a black chiffon underslip She even wiggl 1 out of brassiere-pink- several times for the photographers and the clothing drive, of course.
 But Miss Demarco staged the show of the day. After shedding demure, high-necked dress, she stood reveal ed in a pair of green steppins drip ping with filmy lace. One photo grapher dropped his camera in the scramble for leg art and had to ask her to take off her clothes all over again. She did.
 As she bent over to step out of her dress flash of pink lace peeked from beneath her green bra.
 Are those falsies you're wearing, Miss De Marco?" yelled female re- porter.
 Miss DeMarco just glared at her.
 The starlets-although they were practically in the altogether-still wore their hats.
 Heavens, we couldn't take those off" they gasped. Wed feel nak- edT'.

wear are reforming the feet and
subjecting the wearers to per-
manent physical handicap. Few
have clothes sufficient to with
stand the rigors of the northern
climate, and enforced absence
from school among the children
has reached alarming proper
tons.
CLOTHING PRICELESS
Greece, Poland, Yugoslavia,
Czechoslovakia - The lack of
clothing is appalling. Neither
ration cards nor actual money
can correct it. In Greece one is
forced to pay approximately
$500 for a pair Of shoes made OF
synthetic substance which falls
to pieces or wears through after
five miles of walking. In Yugos-
lavia notice of a death occurring
ina family brings mobs Of shiv-
ering folk offering fabulous
sums for the clothing of the
deceased. In Poland four famll-
les live in a single room, UNI
heated and windowless, and only
by sharing one another's gar
ments is one able to move from
the place.
Conditions not dssimilar exist
in Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary,
Russia. China and elsewhere
among the victims o. the AXIS
aggressors, Titus reports.
1.-THE very lives of these null
titudes depend on the prompt
filling Of their clothing needs.
The health of many millions of
them has been seriously affected
by the lack of adequate clothing.
tuberculosis, typhus and other
diseases have spread rapidly
among Them" he asserts.
"But life and health arc not
al that is involved. They need
clothing to regain their self
respect. They need it TO go about
the urgent tasks OF rebuilding
their broken homes and restoring
their demolished towns and
cities. They need 1t to become,

ties, will have to come from the
United States. Until that time.
good used clothing must be used
10 save those whose last suit,
dress or pair of shoes was pur-
chased before the thunder Of
war burst from the skies.
GARMENTS GROW THIN
In the five harsh, horror
filled years which have passed
since then, Titus points out the
garments of the oppressed mil
lions wore thinner and thinner.
They were patched and repatch-
ed, turned and turned again, and
often reinforced with old paper,
straw or other waste for want Of
other material. And, so scarce
and scanty did these garments
become, that during the winter
months, deaths from exposure
equalled and, in some sectors,
surpassed those due to starva-
ton and malnutrition.
From reports now assembled
! II is revealed that, in the liberia
ted countries of Europe alone,
more than 3O,OO0,000 are sta
tistically naked, while more
than four times that number
125, 100000 in all-are in des-
perate need of clothing, shoes
and bedding.
The case of the victims OF Jap
arese aggression is no better,
Brig. General Carlos P. Romulo,
following his inspection of the
Leyte area, reported:
"The people have been starv3
ing and most of them look like
walking skeletons. The Japs
took everything! The greatest
need is clothing. Most of the
people of Leyte are almost
naked, even II and 18-year-old
girls"
ONE FAMILY SHIRT
Among the reports are found
the following typical conditions:
Belgium - Only one disable
shirt in a family of seven. 1t is
shared in turn by both sexes
and all sizes in the family and
only one at a time-thc current
possessor of the shirts able
tc leave the howell in which the
family lives.
France-"Lack OF clothing is
tragic here" writes Quaker
relief worker. Either child
stays away from school while
its mother washes and dries the
family's lone shirt, or it goes TO
school wearing the shirt wet and
so inviting serious illness and
possible death"
