Fashion designers say fall and
winter fashions are going to have a
new look. They are taking the stuff
fling out of shoulders and adding 5
or 0 inches Of skirt. Shoes will
have toes in them and fit around the
heel at the back. Hats are getting
bigger, to balance or dwarf the new
natural shoulders and the longer
skirts.
Many of the new coats and suits
will be fur trimmed. THEY'LL have
more material and less padding and
more intricate tailoring than for
many years.
Work Clothes
Maybe you think it's too hot TO
be thinking about cold weather clo-
thes and so are wondering what you
are going to wear at home the rest
of the summer. For this is the time
of the year when clothes that are
suitable to the job become particu-
larly important. Safe. comfortable
clothing for such jobs as gardening,
canning or other active work makes
life easier and pleasanter.
Clothing specialists recommend
simple, streamlined styles--whether
you buy Oh make your own clothes.
Dresses should be comfortable, con-
venient, easy to launder and with
out hazards to safety.
For instance. frills or loose bows
or ties on the front of a dress could
easily catch fire from an open flame
or catch on the handle of cooking
utensils. Ties, belts and sashes
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1947-07-31

shMlld be made to fit closely and
ARten out of the way. Front opening
r easiest to manage, but the fas-
tening should be small, flat and
close enough so that there won't be
any gaps.
AS for sleeves, why bother with
any at all unless they're needed for
warmth or other protection. Wing
extention or similar devices will
serve the same purpose as sleeves
when it comes to appearance, and
they're safer and give more freedom,
If you need long or three-quarter
length sleeves these should be shap-
ed for elbow room and made close
fitting around the lower arm and
wrist.
It's well to watch the length and
width of skirts too. If they're too
long and too full they will drop
around your feet when you stoop.
This makes it easy to catch your
shoe heels in the hem, or to step on
the skirt and fall. Skirts just wide
enough for the natural stride are
best.
Pockets placed below the waist
should be large enough to put the
hand in and take out what you
want without straining the pocket
corners or the material. And they
need to be placed where the hand
slides in naturally--not in an awk-
ward position that forces you to stop
and see how to get into them.
Plant Now For Full Vegetables
You can start planting for fall pro-
duction in your garden now. Pole
beans can be planted until August
Is, bush lima beans until August /.
Tomato plants may be set to about
the middle of August.
When a crop has matured, remove
the old vines or plants, pillow, ferti-
lie and make the row ready for
another crop. Weeds and grass left
in the garden during the summer
will use up an abundance of mois-
ture and foliage. If you cannot plant
a crop, then keep the row free
from grass and weeds.
Keep your eye open for bugs. They
will be unwelcome guests through
out the summer. Keep the buster
and sprayer ready with a supply OF
dusts and sprays.
Keep vegetables harvested regu-
larly. If you let pods or fruits ma
ture on the plant, you will be reduc-
ing production from the plant. If you
are saving seed, you will have to
accept lower production until the
seed have matured enough to har-
vest.

House Unit Approves
New GAO Building at
Cost Of S21,S50,oOo

The House Public Buildings SUBJ
committee today approved q bill to
authorize new General Accounting
Office building at Fourth and G
streets to cost not more than $22,-
850, 900.
The measure will be reported to
the House Public Works Committee
early next week, Chairman Nc
Gregor of the subcommittee, an
nounced.
Already the Government has
bought virtually an entire city block
at the site. After an excavation
was dug, further work was blocked
by the war.
Representative McGregor ex-
planned that the new bill will
authorize the Federal Works Agency
to proceed with plans and early
architectural services on the much
larger building. Some preliminary
construction might be possible under
the bill, he said, with about S.
600, 900 left over, and still on hand
from previous appropriations for the
project.
New, appropriations, however,
could not be made by Congress under
the pending bill until 1949.
The cost Of construction now, Mr..
McGregor said, had just about hit
the peak" Under the bill. the FWA
would be authorized to prepare the
plans and be ready to let contract
for construction when costs hit
bottom"

Motion 10 Dismiss Suit
AGAINST Democrats Denied
By the Associotsd Press

NEW YORK, July 10-State Su-
preme Court Justice Felix c. Ben
venga yesterday denied motion by
George L. Killion. as treasurer of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, to dismiss a suit for $15,978
brought by William H. Rankin, ad-
vertising executive, for commissions
claimed to be due for placing radio
broadcasting during the 1940 cleo
ton campaign.
The court rejected as "unsound"
the defense contention that the suit
could not be maintained because it
was improperly instituted against
the present defendant as treasurer. "
Justice Benyenga said that while
1t might be possible that the COM
mittee, as presently constituted, was
not liable for the money. this could
not be determined on the basis Of
the papers before him.
Mr.. Rankin said in his suit that
under an agreement made on Au-
gust 26, 1910, his company placed
s621 ,008 in broadcasting, emitting 1t
to $31, ,O50 in commissions. OF this,
he said, $15,071 had been paid.
Defense Attorney Charles Roden,
seeking dismissal Of the suit, con-
tended that the committee which
entered into the contract went out
of existence July 21, 1914, and that
the succeeding committee was not
responsible for debts of its prede-
ceSSor.

the fact that the President OF the
United States is a dues-paying
member, and proudly frames his
checks from annual dues. 1t con-
tinues, on its letterhead, to list the
President of the United States as
the vice president of that organiza-
ton"
Earlier = I mentioned the i'm
petuosity of the President, which
has sometimes cotton him into trou-
BILE. Certainly that was the case on
the morning of July 1S, 1946, when
he told the representatives from
every metropolitan paper OF any

asked my old friend, Jim Pender-
gast, to help"
Sees Political Fortunes Affected.
That request. Mr.. Slaughter said,
was "the public admission of a
partnership that has brought the
presidency into disrepute and which,
at the same time, has certainly
adversely affected the political for
tunes of the man who made the
admission"
The former House member con-
tined:
The joint venture Of Messrs.
Truman and Pendergast proceeded
according to schedule and was ap-
parently successful. Postmaster
General Hannegan applauded the
results achieved. But like their
cohorts of 1886 the political roust-
abouts of 1916 became carried away
with their enthusiasm and simply
failed to take into account the
mathematical improbability of the
returns which they concocted. So
sure were they of the ground on
which they stood that they did not
even bother to make the ballots
and the count check"
Mr.. Slaughter traced develop
ments which ultimately led to the
return of more than 10 indictments
for alleged vote irregularities in the
1946 primary election, and men
toned the theft from the Kansas
City election commissioners vault
OF ballots to be used in prosecution
of the cases.

Business Expert Says
Economic Recession
Would Be InexcusabIe
BY the Asseeioted Press

B. C. Forbes, publisher of
Forbes Business Magazine, said
today he sees no sign of an eco
nomic recession or a depression.
IF we do draw down upon our
heads anything like an acute depres-
sion, it will be entirely man made,
inexcusable," Mr.. Forbes told the
Joint Congressional Committee on
the Economic Report.
Mr.. Forbes urged the committee
and Congress to take all possible
steps to encourage saving and in
vesting, which he called "the very
lifeblood of an expanding free en-
terprise economy"
Should Cut U. S. Costs.
. Don't ever forget" he said, that
1t takes some $1,000 of capital to
provide the average job.
d You should consistently insist on
cutting Government costs. You
should curb initiating our already
astronomical Federal debt by re-
fusing to sanction wholesale expan-
sion of Government competition
against investor enterprise"
Mr.. Forbes offered his advice to
the committee in connection with its
study of suggestions on how to
, minimize fluctuations of the econ
omy.
Had we not been so deplorably
a Nation of economic illiterates, we
would have not suffered all we have
suffered during the last two or three
decades, (anO would not be so
sorely beset by strife and difficulties
today" Mr.. Forbes told the COM
mittee.,
He said that "overWeening high
finance and big business magnates
exercised shocking economic judge
ment i'm the first third of this CEN
tury," and the American people -
brought these cavalier buccaneers
to their senses. unhorsed them"
Hits Union Leaders.
Since then, Mr.. Forbes added,
"there has sprung up another type
of aspiring dictators who are exer-
cising equally faulty economic Judg-
ment-union leaders. -
IT have faith that the American
people will prove able to deal ef-
fectiyely with this menace"
Theodore W. Schultz, trustee OF
the National Planning Association,
told the committee the Government
should continue it's program of price
support for agricultural products
beyond 1948 Unless renewed the
program will expire at the end OF
next year.
There is," he said, uncertainty
enough Gn the industrial economic
picture) to warrant being prepared
for large measure of economic in
stability"
Mr.. Schultz said also there is no
way of anticipating the volume and
nature of foreign trade after 1948,
and that sit is the better part of
wisdom to be prepared" by extend
ing the price support program.

Truman Says Floods
Demand Action Now
Dy the kssoeioied Prsss

President Truman said today he
has always favored creation OF a
Missouri Valley Authority, but that
the immediate problem is flood con-
troll on the Missouri, Ohio and Des
Moines Rivers.
The subject came up at a news
conference when a reporter told him
that some people in the valley did
not think he was behind a bill to
set up an authority patterned after
the giant Tennessee Valley Author
ity in the South.
Mr.. Truman replied that he has
always believed there is need for
an MVA and that he had told Sen
ator Murray, Democrat, of Montana
to push Senator Hurray's bill for its
establishment. Simbilar legislation
has been before Congress for several
years.
But Mr.. Truman said a compre-
hensive flood control plan is needed
and the administration Is trying to
work one out. He recalled that he
recently conferred with Army engi-
neers and other experts on the
problem and asked them to draw
up q plan for rejection OF all the
river valleys hit by recent floods.
That, he said, is the emergency,
not the Missouri Valley Authority.

| Senators Hear Priest
Ask Military Training
Al High School Level
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Compulsory military training in
high schools was urged at a House
Armed Services Committee hearing
today by the Rev. Dan A. Ianing,
Catholic priest of Mission, Tex.
A buck private in World War I
and a chaplain in the last war,
Father I.aning was one Of two wit
nesses who supported the principle
of universal military training ad-
vocated by q special presidential
commission.
The. other was Blake r. Van Leer,
president of Georgia Tech Univer-
sity, Atlanta.
Opposing the proposal as the COM
mittee continued hearings were Ker-
NIT Eby, director of education and
research for the CIO, and Rabbi
Ahron Opher of New York, repre-
senting the Synagogue Council Of
America.
Strengthening of U. N. Asked.
+ "Put military training In all our
high schools, colleges and universi-
ties" Father Laning urged the COM
mittee. Why begin at the age of
18? - BY commencing military
training In the high school, the
Nation would bs getting the benefit
of from four to eight years of con-
tinuous training as compared to six
months or year" as advocated by
the Presidents commission.
Rabbi Opher called for strength
ening of the United Nations as the
most effective way to maintain
peace. Universal military training,
he said, runs counter to the intent
and purposes" of the U. N. and
should be resorted to only when
there is an Imminent threat" to
national security.
Mr.. Van Leer told the committee
universal military training will un-
questionably improve the education
and training of our people" and is
necessary now.
Commission Biased"
Mr.. Eby claimed the Presidents
commission was based from the
very beginning" and said the report
was virtually a call to arms" and
"an acceptance of war as in
evitable."
He complained that the commits
sion did not include representatives
of farm and labor groups opposed
to universal training and said "in-
dividuals from educational and re-
ligious organizations were not rep
|resentative OF their group"
