OH, MEN,! OH, GIRLS!
 NEW LOOK

HOLLYWOOD, July 3.-R-You can turn the page, men. This shouldn't interest you. It's just about q fashion prediction that women vii. be wearing skin tight underwear beneath transparent dresses in 1850.
 (Go on now men, turn the pagel
 It's Film Designer Elois Jenssen doing the predicting and she claims, with apparent seriousness, that fashion has been enslaved by wom- ems underwear
 Miss Jenssen, through an alert press agent, announced her belief that slinky, full-figured tights for winter and thigh-length shorties for summer will replace panties, step-ins, brassieres and girdles.
 The tights, she ayers, will be in shades of shocking pink, jet black and flesh tones. She goes on to predict that peek-a boo, transparent oresses-filmy and wispy-will be worn over the fancy tights.
 Lets face it, women's underwear is gosh-awful,' said the 23-year-oid movie designer "A stocking attach ed to garter belt is revolting. Your contemporary woman with a dozen itsy-bitsy unmentionables is as much a martyr to style dictates as grandma was to her painful cor set. Skin tights will free style from the letters of ridiculous, ugly under wear"
 With a climactic bit of logic, Miss Jenssen says the one-piece founda- ton garment she envisions will make outer garments secondary for the first time in fashion history.

U. WASHINGTON
 GREW N05ED OUT
 BY GAL. BY YARD

PRINCETON, N. J., July 3.-R-- If Carroll Ky" Ebright can keep his fingers crossed long enough, he may take his third University Of California crew to the Olympic Games this summer.
 Ebright, coach of the Golden Bears since 1923. tutored the Olym- pic champion crews of 1928 and 1882 Today he still couldn't be- lieve it. as he sent out still another boatload to pull against Harvard and Princeton in the final Olympic tryout.
 His l948 crew, a distinct outsider after a so-so season, turned back the favored Washington eight by the margin of scant yard in yes- terday's scmi-final.
 California scored its upset by means of very fast start. The Bears got the jump on Washington and barely managed to stay in front to the finish.
 California's time of 5:58 was one tenth of a second better than the HuSkies'.

Truman May
 Seize Mines,
 Strike Case

WASHINGTON, July 3.-R- Government attorneys took long look at the new draft law today to see whether it gives President Truman the power to seize steel company coal mines if next Tues days threatened strike occurs.
 The steel firms squared away yesterday for what looks like a major tussle with John L. Lewis over his union shop contract with the rest of the soft coal industry They asked the National Labor Re- lations Board to seek an injunction against the union shop provision.
 The steel company mines pro- duce one-tenth of the nations bi- luminous coal-but all of their out put goes to fuel the steel mills.
 Thus a strike at the captive" mines would quickly become ser ious Closing down blast furnaces and steel mills would shortly para lyze the auto industry and hun dreds of other companies dependent on steel for basic operations.
 The stepped up national defense program would be affected. That's where MT. Truman's new seizure powers fit into the picture. The new draft law says he may take over any plant, mine or other facility and operate it for the pro- duction of government-o ordered ma terials in cases where the contrac- tor has failed to produced on sche- dtlle.
 ! This provision was inserted at the request of Senator Russell tD- Ga), but there has been no official opinion yet as to it's possible ap- plication to the captive mine dis pute.

EISENHOWER STAMPEDE IS NOW LOOMING
Only No" from General Can Stop His Nominal
 lion, Report Today
By JACK BELL CUP Political Reporter

Senator Sparkman of Alabama said today that only clear no from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower now can stop efforts to delived the Democratic Presidential nomination to the wartime commander.
 Sparkman, who directed Demo- cratic speakers in the 1946 Congress campaign, told reporter in Wash ington he doesn't know whether Eisenhower would accept the nomi- nation if it is offered him.
 But the Alabama Senator made it plain that Southern Democrats baking at President Truman's civ il rights program will read further silence by Eisenhower as willing ness to have his name offered to the party convention opening July l2 in Philadelphia
 On that basis, arrangements were reported made for Alabama to yield it's first crack at nominating speeches to Kansas, for a home state nomination of the General.
 This would put Eisenhower's name in the pot before President Truman could be officially listed as a candidate.
 It would give Eisenhower's sup porters the chance for shouting, cowhell ringing, stomp dance by which they might stampede the convention.
 There are clear indications that MT. Truman's friends are scared at what might happen in such sit- uation
 Virginia Democrats, spurred by Senator Harry F. Byrd. planted both feet in the Generals camp. Their convention at Richmond in- structed the states 26vote delega- tion to Philadelphia to work for EisenhoWer's nomination and to vote unanimously against any can- didate who is Tor MT. Trumans civil rights program.
 The Virginia action followed roaring approval by the Georgia Democratic convention of a reso- lution urging Eisenhower to re spond to this call for service
