It's that added touch of your
own choosing that brings out your
particular personality, So just be
sure you have taken time out to
shorten the skirt of that old "new
look" for the newer one. Choose
one of the new bright colors for
your wardrobe this season. 1t will
make your chores at home seem
lighter.
Whether you're career woman,
housewife or college girl, (who we

ideas on the fact that 1873 percent
of Louisiana rejected had failed
to pass the intelligence test.
Because of this situation, Gen.
Raymond F. Huff, state selective
service chief, has ordered local
boards to check selectees' school
records to find out whether or not
they deliberately flunked the test.
Col. Shaffer, in explaining his
position, said:
"About 40 percent of our popul-
alton is Negro, and they have not

great an incentive for a man to
get into the army now.
"The army should get down to
earth. We don't need high school
graduates to drive trucks or clean
latrines or perform many of the
routine jobs that must be done.
The services must realize that
we simply do not have an mex

graduates. What the services
would like to get is all high school
graduates who played football.
"We don't mass produce people

book written some time ago by A, Y, Vyahm,
SKY provides remarkable proof OF Il, Mr.,
Nyshlnsky IL the Soviet foreign minister, a
Top man IN the pOlitburO, and a leading au.
th0flty on MarXlam Aa now prAetlCed behind
the iron curtain, In defense of Soviet laws,
be wrote this "llaVing given the t0ilerR free-
dom Of speech, assemblies, street parades,

plleity excluded the nOnrlAbOr CAaaea from
enjoyment Of this freedom, ,, Having Aas
hufed genuine freedom of press 10 the toll

this freedom 20 the n0n-lab0rhg strata" A
page or two later, Mr., Vyahnsly expanded
on his theme IN these words "n our state,
naturally, there IL and can bo no place for
freedom OF speech, PRESS and 80 on for the
foes of socialism. Freedom of apeeeh,
of the press, Of assembly of meetinga, Of

property Of all the citizens OF the USSR,
fully guaranteed by the State upon the single
condition that they be- utilized In accord with
the interest Of the t0lera and 10 the end Of
strengthening the s0eiallstlc a0elal order"
That is worth reading again, word for word,
What he said, II II means anything At all,
Is that the people can b0 perfectly free no

the line laid down by their masters, They
can speak ffeely-s0 long as they do not

Il is enormously important 10 remember that
