BridgepOrter Says Glamour M New EngLandIs LOWest

Chicago, Sept. 12 - Miss Fran ces H. Cardell, lady who knows all about what goes underpinnings, said today that there's less glamour in New England than any place else in the U. s.
 She said midwestern girls have more oomph per square inch than any of them. They practice what she likes to call "hip-notism."
 Miss Cardell, Bridgeport, Conn, is educational director of a large lin- gerie manufacturing concern. She spends her time touring the coun- try trying to get women out of the dumps by putting them into curya- ceous undergarments.
 GIamOr Geographical
 Glamour is geographical but it hasn't anything to do with the geography" she said.
 The girls in the Plains states really have oomph, and in the right places. But the southern belles are developing, too. My, what pretty legs they have"
 However, New England is in a class by itself, she said
 Its simply filled with women who either don't have glamour or don't want it," she explained. They aren't fashion conscious and de- oomphasize everything.

 Accentuate Properly
 Farther west, the women, largely of European stock, not only have more of the same, but they accentu- ate it properly, she said. They have fuller hips, too.
 Miss Cardell said she wasn't par ticularly interested in Hollywood glamour.
 That's not in the United States anyway" she said.
 But she did say that there still are plenty of fat-chested women everywhere, and that Hollywood has more than it's share.
 Well never be able to fill the de- mands for gay deceivers," she said, "and I suspect the orders run high est in Hollywood.

NY. Reds Gongine Up On Dewey
 Rejoin Democratic
 Coalition in Hope
 Of Licking Him

Washington, Sept. 12 - (UP) - The Communists are ganging up on Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in New York state and over the polite objections of Democratic candidates they have rejoined the New Deal-Democratic coalition in an effort to lick him.
 Dewey is seeking a second term with a good chance to get it. The Communist idea apparently is to knock him off now, if possible, thereby eliminating Dewey from consideration as a 1948 Republican presidential nominee.
 Party tickets in New York state now are in their final form. Gov- ernor Dewey is teamed with state Senate Republican leader Irving Ives, who Is a candidate for the Uni ted States Senate. They have only the Republican nominations.
 Reds Endorse Mead, Lehman
 The Democratic, Liberal and American Labor parties nominated Sen. James M. Mead, O., N. Y), for governor and former Gov. Herbert H. Lehman for the Senate. The Communists had a ticket of their own but withdrew it this week to endorse Mead and Lehman. The Communists left in the field only one candidate, Robert Thompson. He is well decorated war veteran and Communist Party chairman in New York. Thompson will make a token race for state comptroller.
 Mead and the Communists are unhappy partners. The Democratic state convention repudiated Fascism and Communism in 8 joint denun- citation. Mead later said he did not want Communist or Fascist support or the aid of any subversive organ ization. But there are 50,000 or so Communist votes to be expected in New York state next December. Whether he wants them or does not, Mead will need them to defeat Dewey.
 The Communists are unhappy, too. Their leaders frankly say that they do not believe Mead can win without their support. They con- tinue to blast away at Democratic Party policies especially foreign policies - but they dislike Dewey enough to go along with the Dem- ocrats against him.
 Strange Bed-full
 It all adds up to the strangest bed-full of political mis-mates seen recently. Thompson broadcast a speech in New York Tuesday night explaining to Communist Party members why their ticket was being withdrawn. He said President Tru- man and Secretary of State James F. Byrnes sounded like Republicans to him. He said not much of any, thing about Mead and Lehman whom he instructed the party mem- bers to support But he had plenty to say about Dewey.
 The Communist report of his ad- dress included the following para graph:
 The Democrats cannot win alone. They can win only as part of a wide electoral front which in- cludes the American Labor Party, the trade unions, Negro organiza- tions, the Communist Party and various independent political groups such as the Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions, and the Citizens Politi- cal Action Committee"

sued a cease firing" order this

their warfare against the COM

not shown a disposition to nego-
tate with Chang unless it is done
