Among Us Teens
By Vol

CAMPUS CAPS-They're wool,
shaped like a bell. or in short
stocking cap style, with no tassel.
They can be worn numerous ways,
with the rim rolled, or turned back
into large cuff. Boys who want
to keep their ears from chipping
off in the cold, wear the caps
shamelessly and gracelessly COM
pletely turned down all around.
Girls push the cap back as far as
possible, as charming flip for
the short haircut. But in the
colder States, teen girls wear the
ultra-long stocking cap with ker-
chief added! The tassel hangs
below the kerchief and makes any
teen look elf1sh.

composed of people who insist
upon making an item obsolete
because a new mode has appeared.
Why shouldn't an item of
clothing once found acceptable
be available a season or two
after its introduction?" asks Mr.
Rudofsky.
This stressing of the mode is to
be found only in industrialized
lands, and Mr.. Rudofsky, who has
travelled extensively in Europe,
Asia Minor, North and South
America, smiled when he said,
This does not include the entire
world so there are some areas

He says that most women wear
outfits to show or fake a finan-

he points out in his book, is the
individual who knows how to wear

Fuchs, Atomic Spy,
 Jeopardized All .Of U. $. Secrets

WASHINGTON, (P)-Dr. Klaus Fuchs, confessed Russian spy, may have stripped the United States scientific cupboard bare of all but its latest atomic secrets.
 Further, it is considered likely among those familiar with the sit uation that he could have. passed on to the Soviets highly "educat- ed guesses," to say the least, about the rate of U. s. a-bomb produc- ton and the size of this country'S Stock-pile.
 Both are closely guarded se- crets. So is all data connected with developments of the poten- tially more deadly hydrogen bomb. Fuchs was familiar with the theory of the h-bomb, too.
 Members of the Senate-House atomic energy committee who saw the Fuchs confession for the first time Friday took grave view of the matter. Senator McMahon O. Conn.,, committee chairman, de- clined to say what was in it or answer questions about it.
 The confession, passed on by the British, reached the joint com mittee through the federal bureau of investigation and the atomic energy commission. AEC officials met with the committee behind closed doors to go over the docu- ment.
 It was learned later that some information, including dates and names, had been deleted from the closely-guarded confession before 1t got to the committee.

Give Cubitchev His Choice Of
 Two Penalties

NEW YORK, (P)-Valentine A. Gubitchev, convicted as a Soviet spy, reportedly will accept the U. s. governments offer of release from a 15-year prison term on the condition that he go home to Rus Sia.
 The government had told the 33-year-old engineer that he could pick his own penalty for cOnspir- acy and attempted espiona g e against the United States.
 He could get out, and stay out, or he could go to prison for IS years.
 It was reported that Gubitchev plans to leave the United States March 20 aboard the Polish liner Batory-the same ship on which communist fugitive Erhart Eisler fled this country as a stowaway last May.
 Both the New York Times and the New York Herald-Tribune said they had learned of Gubit- chev'S decision.
 The reported sailing date is four days ahead of the deadline set by  federal judge Sylvester Ryan Thursday when he meted out sen tences of IS years each to Gubit- chev and his Co-spy, 28-year-old Judith Coplon.

80 Die In Plane Crash In Wales
(BY John Roderick)

CARDIFF, Wales (P)-Avaition experts began an inquiry here to- day into the latest disaster involv- ing Britain's unlucky Tudor air liners-the crash of a crowded charter ship yesterday in which 80 died.
 Directed personally by Britain's minister of civil aviation, Lord Pakenham, the experts will try to find out why the big passenger plane packed with jubilant Welsh football fans careened wildly into a field as it was landing on flight from Dublin.
 Of the 78 passengers and five crewmen aboard, only three sur vived. It was the worlds worst commercial air tra g edy and brought the toll of deaths in Tu- dor planes-Britain's first post war four -engined commercial air craft-to IA.
 The chartered plane, biggest in active service in Britain, was pre- pairing to land in sunny weather.
 Tired but happy rugby football enthusiasts aboard had travelled by plane and train to Belfast to see Wales down Ireland 6-3 in the United Kingdom championships. After a night of celebrating in Dublin, they were returning home by their chartered aircraft.
 The big four -engined plane ap- peared to be touching down at Llandow airport near here for a normal landing when. without warning, it roared back into a climb. It smashed to earth in a field after making a right-hand turn and sideslipping.
 The huge plane crashed IS yards from a house. It did not ex- plode or burn.
 Two of the three survivors, brothers-in-law, walked out of the wreckage unaided and virtu- ally unscatched. They had been sitting side by side in the tail of the plane.
 The third survivor was critical ly hurt.
 There were five women aboard,

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (P) Is Russia's ability to wage atomic war increasing more rapidly than this nations ability to resist such an attack?

 He told an audience Friday night that Russia soon will be able to launch an intercontinental atomic attack in considerable strength. The continued existence of this nations strategic air force is the best bet to contain such at tack, said General Vandenberg.

Disorders were reported in Bel gium today on the even of tOmOr- rows referendum in which the people will say whether they want King Leopold III back on the throne.
 Fifty demonstrators were injur- ed last night in Antwerp where hand to hand fighting broke out at a fireworks display staked by pro-LopoldiSts. Five hundred pO- licemen were needed to stop the fighting between the pro and anti forces.
 King LeOpold's surrender to the Nazis early in the war exposed the Hanks of British and French forces and resulted in the Dun kerque debacle. He was not in vited to resume his throne when the Allies liberated Belgium. The nations present ruler is Regent Prince Charles, Leopold'S brother.
 Leopold's supporters argue that he surrendered to the Germans only after all hope of victory was lost. They contend that he did not cOllaborate with the NaZis.
 A total of 5,5OO,OOO Belgians are eligible to vote in the advisory referendum. The final decision whether King Leopold will be in- vited to return is up to parlia- ment. Tomorrow's vote, however, will strongly affect parliament's decision.
 The Soviet people are being asked to endorse communiSt-ap- proved candidates in their cleo tions tomorrow. There is only one slate. Prime Minister Joseph Sta lin is expected to make an election eve speech tonight that may throw some light on Soviet foreign pol icy.
