Petrillo To Make Radical Changes In Broadcast Policy

WASHINGTON, (P)-James C. Petrillo said today that his Amer ican federation of musicians may seek to ban radio network broad casts of music when present con? tracts expire Dec. 31.

UnificatiOn Will
 Bring Big Savings

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Gurney R.-S. D. today forecast "astonishingly large" savi ng S through unification of the army, navy and air forces.
 Opening Senate debate on a compromise bill to fuse the armed services, the chairman of the Sen ate armed services committee said critics of the plan continually ask Chow much in dollars and cents will be saved each year by unifi- cation'
 Personally I think the savings will be astonishingly large be- cause-if for no other reasons, if you please-our present system is so horribly uneconomical," he said.
 Urging speedy Congressional approval, Gurney said that in an era of "supersonic planes and guided missiles With atomic war heads" an overall defense plan should not be delayed.
 'It is not being an alarmiSt to point out that in the even of an- other global war hostilities will be initiated without prior warn ing, and by an attack as complete and devastating as lies within the capabilities of the nation which launches it," he said.
 Gurney earlier told a reporter he is confident the Senate will ap- prove the bill which would place the services under a single cabinet officer.

Alaska is honored this week by having its Governor Gruening on the front page of Time Magazine and a four-page feature article in the issue. Outstanding among the statement made are the following excerpts: Despite the airplane, Alaska is still far from markets, its chief problem is distance and the fact that vessels which come north loaded go south empty with no industries to give them cargo. Nor can Alaska's vast resources be made to produce wealth and new industry overnight.

"Flying Saucers'' Seen In Many Parts Of United States

SAN FRANCISCO, From one end of the country to the other, new reports of disk-like flying saucers" skimming through the skies today added to the mystery which has baffled the nation since June 25.
 There was no satisfactory ex- planation of the phenomenon. The saucers first were reported seen in the state of Washington on June 25. Then persons in other western states said they had seen them. The peak came over the July 4 holiday, when they first were reported seen east of the Mississippi.
 The latest tabulation showed the mystery objects had been re- ported seen in 38 states, the Dis trict of Columbia and in Canada.
 Yesterday they were reported to have been seen in more than dozen states, and in southwestern Ontario.
 An aerial patrol by the Oregon national guard reported it had failed to sight one of the objects. The guard planned to send plane today to a spot near St. Maries, Idaho, where a woman said 10 persons saw eight of the disks disappear in timber on July 3.
 Kenneth Arnold, businessman pilot of Boise, Idaho, first report ed seeing the disks. He said he saw nine flying in formation at a speed estimated at 1,200 miles an hour over the Cascade noun tains. Other observers have given the objects various speeds and, in at least one case, said they ap- peared to be suspended in the air.
 Most observers usually agreed that the objects were round or oval. Guesses as to their size have ranged from that of a five-room house or large airplane to one de- scription of "a silver ball, six inches in diameter"
 The army, the navy and the atomic energy commission all dis claimed any connection with the mystery. An army air forces spokesman in Washington said the

Sewing Hints

There are many things you can
learn to do with sewing machine
if you will take the time to find
out how it's done.
The beginner must, first Of all,
learn how to sew straight, and
this is best done by watching the
stitching and seeing that the
same distance is kept from the
edge to the stitching. rather than
looking to the other side Of the
garment. Chalked lines also may
be used as a guide.
Gathering, ruff1ing and even
pleating may be. done with a sew
ing machine attachment. Even
buttonholes, the bane of many a
woman's existence, are made
easy with an attachment.
Shirring and quilting also can
be made by hand or machine to
add more decorative features to
your home sewing. This takes
only little time to do, but is
very effective.
You'll find that contrasting col
ored threads for many of the dec
orative stitches made either by
hand or machine will help i'm
measurably in making your gar
ments more attractive. Select
these when you pick out your fab

Woman,s World
Careful Dress Fitting Required
To Minimize All Figure Faults
&y G,4a Haley

Next time you are shopping or
riding in a public conveyance, look
about you. Yes, do it critically, too.
One thing I can guarantee you is
that very few people will look per-
feet as far as their figures are con-
cerned.
Now look again and try to find
the most attractive woman around
you and look at her critically. AT
first glance she may look perfect,
which is as it should be, but on
careful inspection you may notice
that one shoulder is little higher
than the other or xhat her proper
tions aren't quite as perfect as they
first appeared. However. you say.
she does look nice.
Well, that's the way we all should
like to measure up when inspected
either by others or ourselves. And
it can be done, as you have seen for
yourself, if we dress so as to point
up our good points and minimize

Fortunately there are many tricks
that can be applied to clothing and
many disguises to be employed
which will do just that for us. We
play up our eyes and features if
they are good, then carefully add
more padding to one shoulder, lift
or lower the waistline, nip it in or
make it one inch more loose, and
hide our figure faults verys Sue

Whether you do your own fitting
or have someone do it for you is not

of doing it. When we first buy or
make dress, we may be so taken

Render Fat

During wartime many women
learned to render their own fat for
dressings. They use fat trimmings
from meat and chicken running
them through grinder. Then it is
melted in a double boiler and
strained through a cloth. Keeping
the grease in a cold place will pre-
vent it from getting rancid. That's
why it isn't a good idea to keep fat
around the hot kitchen - on the
stove or in an open can-as many
people do.
