 Soviet officials think they will have to import grain from the Sov- jet Union, but a finel decision has not yet been reached" Maj. Gen Timoffei Dudarov, acting military Governor for SaXony, told the first American correspondents to tour the Russian zone since last June.
 This is the first time the Rus sians have spoken of shipping food into their zone Their Army lives mainly on German food, particularly perishables, and the American and British licensed press in Berlin have accused the Soviet Union of export ing trainloads of German food east ward.

The CIoihes::
BY DOROTHY ROE

l Associated Press FoShicn Editor
 The new look becomes the olc look for l94s, and the die-hard ir knselength skirts will look as out oi place as boby soxer at an embas- sy ball.
 One again it is fashionable to be ladyliks, and femininity is the theme of fashions for spring. Skirts are approximately two inches longer than in the fall, when the dropping hemline created fashion furore unmatched since the dawn of the hcbbls skirt.
 But as skirts grow longer neck lines go lower, and the feminine form is dramatized to the hil. by the fashions in store for l948. Filmy pure silk chiffons, cobweaby import ed laces, rustling taffeta petticoats and ten-yard skirts are all over the place.
 The average skirt length for street wear will be 12 inches from the floor next spring, as compared with IA inches last fall. Dressy afternoon and cocktail dresses are just above the ankle, but only the most formal gowns are floor length. The newest length for dinner and evening wear clears the floor by about four inches.
 Waistlines are as small as nature and a good girdle will allow. Many of the new waist-nipping styles have built-in "minimizsrs."
 The vogue for petticoats reaches alarming proportions, many of the new full-skirted dresses being sold complete with ruffled taffeta petti- coats which are supposed to show discreetly as well as provide sound effects.
 As to the necklines-they're as low as the law allows in all after-five fashions. Some are slashed clear to the waist, with only the filmiest yelling Of lace. Others are designed to be pulled down to reveal the shoulders And evening gowns are almost uniformly strapless, many with great bows or poufs of fabric to accentuats the bustline, in the Dior manner.
 Styles for 194S, as befits Leap Year, are feminine. alluring, be- guiling-and the prices will be high CT than ever.
