WEDDING DRESS
$64 QUESTION
Britishers Wonder If Eliza

Or Chiffon

LONDON, Nov. 8.-(P)-Wil]
the Duchess of Gloucester wear
i. blue crepe or that chiffon
tweed of phantom red at the
wedding of Princess Elizabeth
and 1t. Philip Montbatten Nov.
20?
1t was anybody's guess today.
The reports conflicted.
Peter Russell, a London de-
signer, said in New York last
Tuesday the duchess, Elizabeth's
aunt, would wear the tweed in
"a shade I call phantom red,
which is a brown tone with a
red tinge." Russell said he had
been designing garments for the
duchess four years.
But Jacqmar, Ltd, a Mayfair
firm of royal dressmakers, as
serted today that its Victor Site
bel was making the duchess
gown for the Westminster Abbey
ceremony-and that it would be
a long one of ice blue crepe.
The question was of consider
able consequence in Britain since
the duchess husband, the Duke
of Gloucester, is third in success
sion to the British throne.
The referee, of course, is the
duchess herself, As, the former
Lady Alice Montagu-Douglas
Scott. But the duchess was not
available for comment.

around the cuffs, a tiny col
lar or a chin chucking gilet is
a fashionwise touch.
Letting out a hem? You'll do
a smoother job if you steam
press creases from the fabric
as you 60 along. Use facings-
there are ready made facings
available in basic colors - to
get the last precious inch out of
a hem and to hold turned under
edges in line.
If exposed fabric of dress or
skirt has faded and the turned
under hem is the original color,
don't let out the hem. The color
demarcation line will be too OBJ
vious. Instead, add length to a
skirt by inseting a yoke or belt
at the waistline. If you can't
match fabric of a dress, link
skirt and bodice with a broad
strip of grosgrain beltin or a
fabric in contrasting color. For
a dress up frock, you might in
set a band of black lace.
Suits skirts can be lengthen-
ed by widening the waistband or
adding a fabric belt. The suits

Farm Bureau Meeting
Expects Controversy
Over Support Prices
BY the A.soeioisd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 18. Nineteen
resolutions involving next years
farm program. with controversy pos
sible on price relationships particu-
larly, and election Of a president
succeeding Edward A. O'Neal faced
delegates to the American Farm
Bureaus 10Th annual convention
today.
Mr.. O'Neal's successor was gen.
orally expected to be Allan 3. Kline
Of Des Moines and Vinton, Iowa
There has been considerable talk
among delegates, particularly South
ern members, Of a rival candidate
to be nominated from the floor in
this afternoons voting.
A convention spokesman expressed
belief that differences might arise
when the price resolutions are con-
sidered at this afternoons final ses-
sion. Southern spokesmen have
been vehement in demanding main
tenance of the 80 per cent Of parity
formula for support prices.
Expect Lower Percentage.
Although Resolution Committee
sessions have been closed, delegates
said they expected the support per-
centage will be somewhat lower
than the 80 per cent figure, possibly
somewhere In the range of 80 to
30 per cent"
Support price recommendations
were expected to be embodied in the
resolution on recommendations for
next years national farm program.
Tobacco country spokesmen have
said that if the 80 per cent figure is
not there, I'VE will make a floor
fight for them"
I'm any case," they continued,
we've built up enough support so
that we think we'll get the figure,
If not here, then from Congress-"
Another possible area of disagree
ment was assigned to the resolutions
dealing with water control and
irrigation.
Marketing Quotas Involved.
TITS partially the old power-ver-
sus-irrigation fight" the convention
spokesman said, but in relation to
the Missouri Valley it's little diff
ferent. Every one is agreed that
something has to be done there, and
the only question Is what"
A touchy topic likewise was the
question of acreage allotments and
marketing quotas. Farmers frank
ly don't like acreage allotments and
all that" the spokesman said, they
don't see any need for them, con-
sidering the world food situation,
and besides they're individualists
anyway"
Others of the 10 resolutions ap-
proved by the committee and Board
of Directors covered international
cooperation and international
trade, both expected to be approved; !;
imitation control, taxation, cooper
atives, coordination of government
farm agency work, restoration of
soil fertility, labor and management
relations, farm labor and credit,
power and electriflcation, transpor-
tation, research, health, and social
security.
The question Of coordination Of
Government agencies has reference
to move to place the soil conser-
walton service under the agricultural
extension service. The move was
supported yesterday by Representa-
tive Cooley, Democrat, of North
Carolina, and by Dean H. p. Rusk
Of the University Of Illinois College
