Washington Shop Talk
BY Dorothy BihImon

A new vertical blind has just
been introduced here. It actually
is combination of curtains,
draperies and blinds in one unit
and it is, claimed may be taken
down, washed and put back in ap-
proxlmately 20 minutes. The sepa-
rate strips that form the lowers
Of the blind are made of celanese
multicord. There is a wide range
of colors which allows for fexi-
bllity in color harmonies. Any
one of the more than 20 solid
colors can serve as a color key for
an entire room. The blinds can
be blended quietly with the
dominating colors of a room or
used in bright contrast to walls
and furnishings.
The decorative qualities of
draperies and curtains are con-
tanned in the blinds. Two tones
of the fabric are alternated in
many installations. Another idea
is to use an off-white for the
center panels with crimson, sham
rock. or any of the other deeper
colors at each end. When the
blinds are closed, this combination
has the effect of curtains with side
draperies.
A concealed control rod will
open or close the louver to any
degree by using a slight pressure
of thumb and finger. Made with
out tapes and cords. they give an
unbroken shaft of light.
They may be drycleaned or
washed by hand, using mild soap
and lukewarm water. To wash.
just remove each fabric louver
by slipping it off the little hook
at the top and bottom. Immedi-
ately upon lifting them from the
water replace them and allow to
dry in stretched position. There
is no wringing and no ironing.
Control closet humidity with
a new air dryer. After all, damp
ness can cause mildew, rust and
moldy odors. You'll also find ex-
cess dryness is equally unwelcome.
A new product developed by an
outstanding company will combat
both these evils. This air dryer
comes packaged in a nice con-
tainer that can be hung over any
wire clothes hanger. A transpar-
ent window permits you to see

other tables move. While 80 makes
the game at the first table, it is
possible to make more at the other

I hated to see them go, but Cass
Michaels is fine second base

as Sam put it. 'I know can do
better than that" He was hitting
his irons so true that twice he
clipped the pin with long irons,
but his putting-for a change and
not as usual-was mediocre.
Several other TBS might be dam
gerous, among them George Fazio
of Washington, Johnny Palmer
and Skee Riegel, the ex-Amateur
champion. But it's going to be
awfully tough for anybody to win
who shot more than 73.
Sixteen years ago, when Olin

only one player broke 70 in the
entire four rounds. That was Tom

with the knucklers."
Harris saw what he sensed
coming at him-a fast ball. He
belted it into left center and
broke up the game. Mickey could
have been credited with a double
had he kept running to second,
but when Ostrowski crossed the
plate with the winning run the
left-hander settled for a single
and his second win of the year.
The Mats were off to a horrible
start. Bob Kuzava walked Dale
Mitchell. Bob Kennedy and Larry
Dolby to fill the bases in the first
inning, then AL Rosen belted his
18th homer Of the year and his
flrst grand-slammer into the left
field seats.
Washington picked up a run
on Bob Lemon in the second in
ming when First BaSeman Luke
Easter contributed two-base
error. Then the Mats hoped on
Lemon for five runs in a hectic
third inning.
Evans opened the uprising by
beating out a trickler to Second
Baseman Joe Gordon. Kuzava
famed, but singles by Eddie Yost
and Ed Stewart filled the bases.
Evans scored on a wild pitch and
Cass Michaels belted a 2-run
single to center. then continued
all the way to third when Dolby
permitted the Ball to escape him.
Walks to Irv Noren and Sherry
Robertson again loaded the bases
and Michaels scored when Gordon
made brilliant stop of Ostrow-
skis grounder to force Robertson
at second. Noren scored the fifth
run of the inning when Dente
singled. That drove Lemon out
and AL Benton came in to retire
Evans.
Force Play Big Help.
Rosen's triple and Lou Bou-
dreau's single sliced Cleveland's S
deficit to 6-5 against Harris in the
eighth. Mickey, who had replaced
a wild Kuzava in the fifth, was in
deep trouble later in that inning
when he walked Gordon with none
out.
Hogan attempted to sacrifice
but Harris pounced on the ball and
fired it to Yost at third to force
Bob Avila, running for Boudreau.
Mickey unleashed a wild pitch to
advance Gordon and Hogan, but
then famed Pinch-hitter Allie
Clark and Mitchell.
Harris yielded the tying run in
the ninth when Kennedy doubled,
took third on Casters grounder
and scored when Michaels fielded
Doby's grounder but threw wide
to Evans at the plate.

 FILES FOR DIVORCE
 IN JuAREz, MEXICO

JUAREZ, Mexico, Jan. 27 = Ingrid Bergman's long-awaited di- vorce suit has been filed in Juarez .iyil court.
 William A. Cooke, attorney from across the Rio Grande in Fl Paso, Tex, disclosed today that the di- vorce proceedings against Dr. Peter Lindstrom was instituted in First District Court here Wednesday.
 AS soon as the suit was filed, Cooke said Lindstrom's lawyer in New York was notified.
 NO advantage, therefore, is being taken of Dr. Lindstrom," Cooke told reporters.
 The suit alleges non-support, cruelty and dncompatibility.
 Filing of the divorce action was the latest development in the inter- national romance of the film actress and Roberto Rossellini.
 Cooke said decree should be granted tetween February 10 and 20. It would free the Swedish star to marry the Italian director with whom she fell in love while making a picture on Stromboli Isle.

BILLY ROSE
 ROBBED

NEW YORK, Jan. 27--tR-Ban- dits raided the fashionable home of snowman Billy Rose last night, toted off safe, furs and jewelry valued at S100,000 but missed S250,OG0 in other gems being worn by Roses wife, former swim champion Eleanor Holm.
 Miss Holm learned of the theft early today when she returned from the theater wearing jewelry valued by her husband at quarter of million dollars.
 I'm glad Baby had her war paint on tonight" said Rose in putting the $25O,00O price tag on Miss Holm's necklace, a bracelet and a ring of shimmering diamonds she was wearing.
 Police said three men shouldered their way into the Rose town house at B Beekman Place late last night, tied up the sole occupant-a Negro butler-and carted away the jewelry-laden safe and furs.
 Rose, a newspaper columnist as well as cafe owner, said the bandits left undisturbed a $500,000 collection of paintings, and $75,00O worth ot antique silver.
