BOTTLENECK BROKEN - The
Senate Civil Service Committee
finally Is taking some action on the
more than 800 postmaster nomina-
tions that have been bottled up in
committee for more than year.
During the past few weeks, more
than 80 nominations have been sent
out by the committee, and indica-
tions are that more of them will be
approved in the weeks to come. The
bulk of the names submitted by
President Truman, however, are ex-
pected to remain on the commit
tees shelf until after the elections
in November.
But the very fact that some 30
odd postmasterships have been ap-
proved by the committee has come
as somewhat Of a surprise. There
had been considera BILE talk that Re-
publican leaders had agreed to hold
up all the nominations at this ses-
sion of Congress.
Several members of the Senate
Civil Service Committee, however,
demanded and obtained approval of
postmaster nominees from their own
States. Since then, the committee
has acted on other nominations at
the request Of various Senators and
Representatives.
X
AWARDS-Three employees of the
Federal Power Commission have re-
ceived cash awards for their money
saving and efficiency improvement
suggestions.
They are Catherine M. Meehan,
for proposing a correspondence style
manual for specific use of the
agency; Paul A. Hays. for proposing
use of window envelopes for out
going correspondence, and Richard
w. Dempsey, for his suggestion of
a manual for use in the Maps and
Drafting Section.
Chairman Nelson Lee Smith of
the FPC says the suggestions will
be placed into effect at the earliest
possible date. incidentally, there
are still a number of agencies not
participating in this worthwhile
program, which has saved many
thousands of dollars in agencies
which have used it whole-heart-
edly.
CAPITAL ROUNDUP - Interior
Secretary Krug announces an en-
ploye honor award system based on
service rendered to the Interior De-
partment. Those employees selected
will be given appropriate medals OF
gold, silver or bronze and will be
in line for promotions. The Civil
Service Commission has listed ex-
aminations for engineering jobs,
paying salaries up to S5,905 year.

INFIDELITY

What WOULD you do il you sud-

an anonymous telephone mes
sage informing her Of Jacks in
fidelity.
When Fanny approached Jack
about the clandestine affair, he
readily admitted that it ,0as true
and nonchaLantly refused to
mend his nays. For the sake Of
her own dignity and pride, Fan
ny feels that she must leave
Jack.
Miss Norris sagely advises Fan

to leave him."
Fanny, say in answer. sit tight.
Don't dream of breaking up your
home and going in for lot of re-
ordinations and legal settlements.
Nine times out of ten, boys of your
sons ages sympathize with Dad
rather than Mother, without getting
very clear idea of what it's all
about.
He's Not Truly Happy.
The chances are that Jack isn't
much happier than you are He
knows he's doing you and the chill
dren stupid injustice. no matter
how CALAMITY he tries to bluff it out.
Your acceptance of the insult with
dignity and silence, your concen-
tration upon your children's lives.
your restraint in making no further
reference to Sally will have a ire
mendous effect.
Jack won't like his freedom
SO much. once he has 1t without

to the guest room. keep busy
and cheerful and wear out the
storm. Once he begins to weak

he will. you will hold the tiller.
He will explain, apologize and
grOvel. All you have to do is
still be serene.
CT course. your happy confident
love as his wife has suffered a
deadly blow But then that has hap
pened, no matter how you solve the
problem. So play it high, wide and
handsome and take him right off his
feet. Don't stoop to anything like
retaliation, but when Sally begins
to fret him to get divorce and she
willard he begins to wish he new
er had heard of Sally. you will have
as real satisfaction as this shabby
situation ever affords
One more hint A man can keep
Sally and have a certain shamed
loyalty to Sally and still want
yes, and need, depend on, admire
and love his wife.
These are no Years in which to

Woman's World
New Trends for FashiOnwise
Herald Advent of Fall Season
by G,tta Haley
Woman's World

livery season brings to light GER
- tain fashion trends which you
will want to observe whether you
buy or make your own clothes. No
matter how good the material or
how appealing the color you select,
clothing should have some new
features that are fashionwise if you
are to feel really right about it.
Old clothing does not have to be
discarded for something new; in
fact, if you observe the trends, you'll
see easily how new features can be
put in clothes to remodel them and
make them truly fashionwise.
The time to get the wardrobe IN
order is before the season begins,
while you have time for sewing or
buying. In this way, you won't get
caught without the right clothes
when the occasions come up.
Casual Dress Is Important
Basis for Wardrobe
No woman, be she homemaker,
business woman or school girl, can
be without good casual dress for
going shopping, visiting or enter
tanning. This can be classic style
that buttons to the waist or lower,
single or double breasted, and one
with a wide circling skirt of the
proper length.
The color and material are left
to personal choice and preference
from these possibilities: A solid.
lightweight wool in lovely colors
such as teal blue, plum, navy, dark
rich green, gray, brown or dark or
bright red.
If you like checks, they are an
especially good choice this year.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-09-24

Plaids, too, are being shown, pro-
vided you can wear them. Cordu-
roy again is very popular for this
type of dress, particularly among
the younger set.
Many of these casual dresses are
sporting stoles or shawls of some
type or another and these can be
worn in versatile ways. To keep
warm, wrap the stole around the
shoulders; wear them as a sash, or
have them come around the back
of the neck to hang in front and
tuck under the belt. Some are worn
around the head and still others are
worn as a scarf, one end dangling
at the back while a shorter end
hangs in front.
A plain wool dress can sport a
shawl in a good looking plaid. But

MANN OA1 Cl Is on. DIG
4 is handsome, affectionate,
L capable. She has two sons,
aged II and IA, and a small
daughter. She and Jack Oliver
always have lived the fortunate
life of millions of Americans
beginning simply, sacrificing for
home and children, emerging
into prosperous and comfortable
days. Jack has his club on
Thursday nights; he and Fanny
belong to an unpretentious coun-
try club. They are hospitable
people; their children are
great joy to them.
Three months ago Fanny discov-
cred that Jack has had a mistress
for more than two years. Jack has
business interests in three nearby
towns. To one of these towns he
has made weekly overnight visit
for many years.
Sally, to call the other woman
that, was for a while his stenogra-
pher in his own town. Then she
moved to the most distant of the
other towns, where she is assistant
office manager. Fanny knows her.
Of couI Sc.
Sally always has seemed fond
of Fanny's children. To discover
that she and Jack we're main
tanning separate establishment
was blow that all but shattered
Fanny. An anonymous telephone
message gave her the whole
story and after the most super
fetal investigation on her part,
both Sally and Jack admitted
the truth.
That Jack would terminate the af-
fair instantly and take an apologize
attitude was the least Fanny ex-
pected. But Jack has done nothing
of the kind. She told him not to
come home until he was willing to
set things straight. He came home
anyway and was agreeable with his
children and apparently unruffied by
Fanny's grim silences.
Nonchalant Attitude.
"He told our little Sarah Lee that
Mommy was just cross and not feel

Dark Basic Dress
Has Back Interest

Basic dresses for this season look
more dressed up than before.
They're soft and feminine, going in
heavily for draping, back interest
and rich lustrous fabrics such as
heavy crepes, silks, satin and vel
veteen.
The lines must have classic sim
plicity and, in general, give that
long draped look. Necklines are
jewelry inviting and dresses call
usually for gold touches in the belt.
Shoulders have a new softness,
and there's a generous amount OF
material in the bodice to give you
loads of armhole freedom.
Black, brown and navy are good
colors, but so are many others such
as forest green, wine, teal and plum
Because of the back interest in
dresses, it's easy to recondition a
basic dress from last season that
may be lacking in this. It's a good
idea to use faille, satin or perhaps
striped taffeta to make an apron
effect that ties in an elaborate,
draped bow to give you hustle in
the back. This should have nice
fullness and be well draped to look
most effective.
Suit Picture Offers
Variety of Types
You have plenty of choice in Sc
lecting a suit for the coming sea-
son. Pick yourself classic style
with a long jacket if you want to
have a good wearable suit for al
most any occasion.
If you want a softer suit which
also is practical, choose one with
feminine lines, collar interest and
a shorter jacket of soft wool.
If you want suit that's really
dramatic, select one with a slim
tapering skirt, with a jacket using
cutaway detail This may be all
one fabric or it may have a skirt
in solid with the jacket in a plaid.
Blouses for the classic suits are
backed with lovely detail. Exqui-
site steering is very popular and
tiny pleats also are used with good
effect. Or the blouse may be very
simple with tab neckline and per-
haps small pocket interest.
Very practical and warm wool
jersey blouses are becoming very
popular for the classic suit or for
just skirt. Because of their monk.
like plainness, they are wonderful
foil for jewelry touches, especially
al the neckline.
Sleeves on blouses may be three
quarter or wrist length. Cuff inter-
est is high on blouse sleeves as well
as on dresses. Deep cuffs like cav.
alier styles are good, especially
when you are wearing just blouse
and skirt.

Trucking Group States
Action on Endorsement
OF Taft-Hart|ey Act

Directors of the American Truck
ing Associations today had before
them a resolution strongly approx
ing the Taft Hartley Act.
Adopted unanimously yesterday
by the Resolutions Committee, the
statement declared the law had "a
salutary effect upon industrial rela-
tions, has generated increased ma
tional production and has thereby
worked to the distinct benefit of en-
ployers, workers and, above all, the
public"
The directors are expected to ap-
prove the resolution. The associ-
ations' six-day convention will end
tonight with the annual banquet at
the Statler Hotel. More than 1000
delegates from all parts of the coun-
try have participated in the 18th
annual convention. Sessions have
been held in the Mayflower, Statler
and Carlton Hotels.
Elect Officers Today.
Oflcers were to be elected during
the day. H. H. Horton of North
Carolina, first vice president, Is
expected to be named president, sue
ceeding E. j. Buhner of Kentucky.
The Resolutions Committees action
approving the Taft-Hartley Act fol-
lowed a recent appeal by Mr.. Buhner
to trucking industry representatives
to throw their active support behind
members of Congress, who backed
the Taft-Hartley law, regardless OF
party. The committee declared it
is we'll known that lit is the avowed
purpose of organized labor to have
this law repealed and remove from
office every Congressman who voted
for its enactment"
The committee held the act has
materially curtailed concerted
union pressure upon motor carriers
to effect boycotts against shippers
and business associates" Further
more, it was said, the act has, in
some measure, prevented threatened
strikes that "imperil the national
