CHARM

Since most women choose the
clothes Of their menfollxs, here are
q few suggestions to the ladies:
II the man in your life Is Of Gv-
erage height, he can wear either
a single or double-breasted suit.
II he Is stout, a three-button, sin
gle breasted jacket is most alen-
deriving. II he Is short, choose a
two-button, single-breasted Jacket
to make him look taller. And u
he Is tall, q double-breasted jack
ct with broad lapels Is flattering.
SO far IS color IL concerned,
every man looks wen in blue, and
a blue suit is right for almost
every business and social occasion.
Dark gray u also safe and q con-
sentative choice. II your man
likes colors. let him have them in
Stacks and extra jackets.
Remember, no matter how
much you like a suit, unless your
husband likes II too, don't urge
him to buy It. But II he wants a
suit you can't stand, by ali means
discourage him from getting It.
II there's any doubt in your mind
as to which suit IL the right one,
suggest that your husband try on
the doubtful one FIRST then the
one you prefer. The contrast will
quickly show him which one Is
best.

and regional rights, and Is op-
posed to great extensions Of the
Capitalization process which made
such headway before and during
the war. Most Oregonians would
like to see the Columbia River
developed, as Grand Coulee and
Bonneville were, by the Army en-
gineers, and the Bureau Of Land
Reclamation, with local interests
consulted and cooperating.
Although vested interests
power, fisheries ,.and sports-op-
pose Federal and support regional
control, most Oregonians are less
fearful Of them than of the vested
bureaucratic influences Of Wash
ington. The argument Of central
ization is that it Is more efficient,
and would avoid congressional
fights over various and possibly
overlapping appropriations. The
Democratic Party Oregon is Re-
publican) supports eva as
framed, but it is significant that
the lower ranks Of the party
avoid the issue.
There Is q strong feeling, re-
gardless Of efficiency. that the
Federal Government in complete
control under a three-man board
would be ignorant Of and i'm
pervious to regional interests.
That feeling has been strength
ened. correctly or not, by some Of
the Federal agents who have been
out here. Oregonians, further
more. reject the idea Of there be-
ing a necessary analogy between
iva and CVA."
Contrary to the widespread
opinion that American campuses
are Communist Influenced and
students radical. my impression
from visiting several In the Middle
and Northwest Is that American
students are very near the exact
center. politically. and inclined to
form their opinions from facts
figures and . scientific" approach
rather than from doctrinaire ide-
ologies. They are impatient OF
the idea that Government should
not interfere In economic mat
ters, but they are concerned about
the growing national deficit in
time Of high prosperity. One stu
dent in our press conference re-
marked, president Truman has
spent more than any previous
President, including F. D. R., ex-
cept for war. Sometime there has
got to be more moderation"
It would not be surprising If
the present mood Of students
tended toward conservatism. That
Is true in England and on the
European continent.
