PARIS, Aug. 9.-P-Cape suits
and multi : colored embroidery in
brilliants highlighted the fashion
collection shown last night by the
House Of Lanvin in the ancle<1
Rue Faubourg. st. Honore.
The. founder OF the house,
Madame Lanvin, died early this
wear, but this, the first fall col
lection after her death, is one OF
which she would have been proud.
A nodded feminine silhouette
was the order of the day but nc
hard and fast rules were applied.
Suits came tailored and dressy
and jackets with cutaway rounded
hemlines were favored. Many hao
fullish peplums.
Matching capes of half, three
quarter and seven-eighths length
tailored on very straight lines
turned suits into chic three-piece
ensembles. Suit skirts were
straight, either pencil or witt
sparingly used pleats which start
ed at the lower hipline.
WIDE SHOULDERS
Shoulder span a moderately
wide and rounded, often with in
tricate darling providing the full
ness at the top armh lie. On day
and short evening dresses the "les
of lamb" sleeve was occasionally
introduced but mainly the sleeve:

The hobble skirt was retained
from last season and intricate

blood just hasn't the power to Keep up
your energy and drive.
Every day-every hour-milions OF
tiny red blood-cells must pour forth
from the marrow Of your bones to re-
place those that are WORKOUT. A low
blood count may affect you in several
ways: no appetite, underweight, no
energy, q rundown condition, lack OF
resistance to infection and disease.
To get real relief you must keep up
your blood strength. Medical authorities,
by analysis Of the blood, have by posi-
tive proof shown that SIS Tonic is
amazingly effective in building up low
blood strength in n~on-organic nutrf-
tional anemia. This is due to h SIS
Tonic formula which contains special
and potent activating ingredients.
Also, SIS Tonic helps you enjoy the
food you eat by increasing the gastric

nineties touch.
A dress called VERY Mustard'
was simple, chic and unusual. 1t
consisted of three wide box pleats
of graduated height each finishing
at the top with a wide pocket flap,
which were set in steps both back
and front.
NOVELTY NOTES
Novelty notes in trimming were
exercised vigorously throughout
the collection. One chic little black
suit had four large a%ppliqued stars
Of black velvet. A delectable black
MORE cocktail hustle dress called
'Constellation'' was scattered pro-
fusely with golden stars.
Evening dresses particularly fol
lowed this trend. Huge three leaf
clovers in jet were appliqued on
a simple dervish skirt or a strap
less rose broche. Slinky hobble
skirts we're slit to the thigh and
all gown S, whether velvet or
MORE, net or broche, silk jersey
or satin, were thickly %encrusted
with brilliants and sequins. They
created a very luxuriant and opu-
lent atmosphere.
Hats played a leading part in
the collection. A black narrow
brimmed edition of the poke bon
net tied under the chin WITH net
was worn with dressy black suits
and dresses. Caps also tied under
the chin came with peaks both
back and front, the 'front.' one
turned up. A large black square
brimmed sombrero seemed a good
bet for versatile use. That tied
under the chin too.

TheG Great GameofPOlitics
Passage of Conscription, Merger Bills
Would Add to Republican Laurels

ject to dual direction or whose
defense resources have become
enfeebled and unprepared Is in
position to assert or sustain any,
thing like the world leadership to
which events have committed us.
There is nothing new about these
proposals. Both have been argued
and debated at great length and for
long time. They were both before
Congress at the last session with
the strong support of the Demo-
cratic President, his cabinet and
an imposing array Of nonpolitical
private citizens and nonpohtical
organizations. Their press indorse-
ment Is overwhelming, and 1t is
difficult to deny that both are very
much in the national interests. Yet,
the Democratic President and the
Democratic Congress were unable
to put either through at the last
session.
Republicans Seen Strengthened.
Now they have been submitted
again-this time to Republican
Congress by the Democratic Presi-
dent. The Army-Navy merger bill
has been put on the must" list by
Republican Senator Taft. Repre-
sentative Andrews of New York and
Senator Gurney have moved to pre-
sent the universal training bill to
both House and Senate Armed
Services Committees. The Senate
committee already has approved the
bill unanimously. Hearings in the
House will be held, it is said, to a
minimum. The hope Is to pass both
bills before adjournment July 81.
If that is done, it, of course, will
be through Republican votes and
because Republican leadership has
given both proposals the right of
way. AS result, the Republicans
would greatly strengthen their rec
ord. They would have given a DEM
onstration of refusing to play politics
when national interests of this kind
are involved They would have
shown themselves patriotically above
opposing or refusing support to vital
and needed legislation solely be-
cause it is requested by a Demo-
cratic President.
Thus, they would commend their
party to the voters and serve the
country at the same time. The
soundness. and the necessity of these
bills is generally conceded. They
are backed by the great majority OF
informed and thoughtful men, re-
gardless of party. The real danger
now is that they may be lost through
inertia or because of a last-minute
jam. That has happened before.
It is Republican responsibility to
see that it does not happen again.

lite armies with those which have
! existed since the end Of the war in
| Yugoslavia.
Now that the peace treaties have
Ibeen ratified by the United States
Senate, even the extremely limited
Irole of the American and British
military missions must cease. They
must pack up and go home. Ordi-
mary diplomatic relations are being
established with Bulgaria and Ro-
mania. AS a result, American repre-
sentatives will be more than ever
under strict quarantine in Bucharest
and Sofia and-as in Poland and
Yugoslavia-will be treated as un-
welcome aliens, whose movements
are confined to the streets near Their
Offices and residences.
Reorganization of Armies.
Henceforth, reorganization of the
former satellite armies can proceed
more rapidly than before under the
leadership Of Russian instructors
whose powers are even greater thar
those of the local governments.
A Czechoslovak military mission
also Is visiting Belgrade and Sofia
for the purpose Of establishing full
coordination between the Czecho-
slovak and Balkan armies. They are
preparing a unification of arrna-
ments and lines of communication
completing the strategic plans draft
ed by the Russian general staff.
AS is natural, the conversations
and exchanges of views taking place
now are under the direct supervision
Of Russian generals. According tc
reports received in Washington
Czechoslovakia and Romania may
be summoned to strengthen, the So
called Macedonian armies, composed
of Yugoslav, Bulgarian, Albanian
and Greek Communists, for the ex-
pected drive toward the Aegean Sea
Czechoslovakia' principal task
however, will be to supply replace
ments of war materials from hel
partially reconstructed factories.
Thus, while President Truman ap-
peals to the world for common sense
and says the United States will aid
the victims of coercion and intimi-
dation, the U. S. S. r. is preparing
for business with bayonets, tanks
and planes.
The Moscow leaders are convinced
that the greatest risk they take In
their present drive for complete su-
premacy in Europe is to be called
before the United Nations. This
causes no loss Of sleep for Mr.. vi
shinsky, who is In charge of political
operations in Central Europe. He is
not worried about speeches before
the U.N. Assembly and knows that
the Security Council is powerless
because Russia can stop any action
There by using her veto.

responsibility. The degree to which
they are watered down or nullif1ed
clearly will be Democratic response
bility-largely White House respon-
sibility.
Unquestionably, the Republicans
can make out strong case along
these lines-and will. But If they
want. to make their case stronger
and their public support greater
they have very fine opportunity
indeed.
Bipartisan Support Of Bills Needed
This is presented in the pending
proposals: % For universal mill
tary training; (2) for the unif1ca-
ton of the Army and Navy under
a single Secretary of National De-
fense. The Republicans claim-and
are entitled to-credit for the bi-
partisan support without which the
American foreign policy would be
utterly Intellectual. Under the lead
Iership of Senator Vandenberg, the
Republicans have raised that policy
above the plane of politics made
it possible for us to present a united
front on international affairs.
Though both the universal mill
tary training and the Army-Navy
merger bills are before the Con-
gress as a result Of recommended
ton from President Truman, Tru-
man commission and Truman
cabinet, nevertheless there are
almost as compelling reasons for BIZ
partisan support Of them as fol
foreign policy, in that both are es-
sential to national defense they are
