Manhattan Beauty Specialist F avors
wv ndow" Bosom Gowns Predicted

Renie, who designs costumes for
movie queens, as predicting that
feminine clothes with complete up.
per exposure would be along next.
my DEAR" Miss Sicily, a for.
mer Ziegfeld Follies beauty, said,
II want you to know that I think
the idea is gorgeous.
Miss Sicily said there isn't any
thing, for instance, much uglier
than the average nose-yet women
stick them out all over the place.
Miss Sicily draws large part
of her income from putting wo-
mems bosoms into shape. She
thinks, since they pay $40 a visit,
they might as well get their mon
ey's worth and expose her handi-
craft to the public's eye.
John Robert Powers, of model
fame, took an entirely different
view.
'T think that we had better teach
women how to keep their heads
out of their shoulders and their
shoulders out of their hips before
we do anything like that" he
said.
Powers contends that most Amer
lean women still retain that deb
utante slouch'' and that they'll
have to snap out Of it if they want
to make the most out of any trans
parent dress.
Louis FEEDER. a Fifth avenue hair
expert who specializes in mems
toupee's. was happy to hear about
Renie's prediction.
'It will help my business a great
deal, I think" he said.
''And how will it help your bus
iness?"
.'Why," FEEDER said, 1.-The first
week that women dress like that
the shock will be terrific. Before
many a man can get bis eyes
closed, he'll have lost his hair"

Patterson Says Army
Manpower Situation
Is Now Dep|orabIe
By the Associoted Press

| OKLAHOMA CITY, May %
Secretary of War Patterson said
today the Army's manpower situa-
ton is "deplorable" because Con-
gress exempted teen-agers from the
draft.
"All that has been accomplished
by four years of fighting can be
jeopardized in the next 80 days, -
the cabinet officer declared in ad-
dressing the governors conference.
Pledging that the Army will not
advocate continuing Selective serv-
ice when it has become reasonably
clear that our manpower needs will
be met by volunteers" Mr.. Patter-
son added:
Right now the conditions are de-
plorable. With an extension only
to July I, and with 18 and 10 year
old men exempted, the Selective
service authorities are frustrated
and helpless.
The exemption categories, for
one reason or another, cover Just
about every man in the country. A
survey made last week showed that
only $4,000 men are left in the draft
pool, and this in a Nation of lao
millions"
Mr.. Patterson, urging the Gov
ernors to support draft bill which
would be real extension and not
a paper one" cautioned against
taking chances" or indulging in
"wishful thinking" of an an-yolun-
teer Army.
The Draft Act expires July 1
with House and Senate far apart
on what form it should take after
that.
Mr.. Patterson said the War De-
partment proposes to make the
postwar National Guard organiza-
tions strong pillars in the struc-
ture OF national defense"
He added that in the war Ma
tional Guardsmen made a brilliant
record on every fighting front and
proved once more the value of the
trained citizen soldier"
Both Gen. Eisenhower, Chief of
Staff, and Admiral Nimitz, Chief of
Naval Operations, were special
guests of the conference today.
Think of your War Bonds in
terms of financial security, freedom

them regularly. You'll be surprised
how easy it is to accumulate a real

Statement on Food
By the Associofed Press

LONDON, May 2s.-Herbert Nor
rison today stood by his statement
that the United States had agreed
to help feed India and the British
zone of Germany and said Viii
Clayton, American Assistant Secre-
tary of State, would bear him out.
He told the House of Commons
that clear understanding existed
between the American and British
governments on the question o1
American supplies for Germany
and India.
The deputy prime minister said it
was "a pity that a subordinate of
ficial-a United States public rela
tionS officer, I think, it was, should
have entered into the matter"
Michael McDermott, State Depart
ment public relations chief, last
week denied statements attributed
to Mr.. Morrison that the United

India and would ship food from the
American to the British zone OF

a Senate appropriations sub
committee to include in the In

Mr.. Hayes, a former naval

Presbyterians End
Assembly With Call
For More Ministers
BY the Associoted Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. May 90
The l58th General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America closed today with
a call to each pastor to enlist at
least one young man as candidate
for the ministry.
A standing committee On theo-
logical seminaries headed by DR..
Paul S. Heath, Kalamazoo, Mich,
reported to the $50 commissioners
of the assembly that the church
should ordain 300 ministers year
to offset the death rate of the
clergy.
The assembly voted. Ais to 1854.
yesterday to delete from report on
industrial relations a section saying
Under no circumstances should
peacetime military draft be used to
force the end of a work stoppage.
Such use of military power is Moth
ing short of totalitarism
Supports Right to Strike.
The report supported collective
bargaining and the right of labor to
strike subject to the requirements
of public order and we'll being"
A report that it would be "unwise
strategy" to advocate immediate
national prohibition also was ap-
proved.
The assembly yesterday took the
Roman Catholic Church to task for
allegedly pressing claims for a
favored position" in the United
States.
1t approved a report which said
aggressiVeness on the part of the
hierarchy of the Catholic Church
''at times involves political action
and pressures upon sources of pub
lie opinion and public policy"
The report, submitted by DR.. Nor
ris c. Robinson of Minneapolis,
Mimi, said:
There are certain tendencies
within the United States, which if
given full expression would curtail
the religious freedom which we as
a nation enjoy.
Won't Conceal Issue.
There is no virtue or gain either
in concealing or in magnifying the
issue that exists between ourselves
as Protestants and our fellow Chris
tians of the Roman Catholic Church.
I'VE raise it at this time in the
confidence that by free and friendly
discussion the cause of mutual un-
derstanding and of democracy will
| be best served.
! I'VE refer particularly to the
aggressiveness of the Roman Cath
olic Church in pressing claims for a
favored position for itself as a
church"
The report said that the true head
of the Christian Church was Jesus
Christ and not state official or an
ecclesiastical hierarchy.
