Todovs Teen-Aoe Trend Is on Feodto oe Cleanliness
BY EDNA MILES

WITH the waning of the age
ifsV of sloppiness, teen ayers
throughout the country are learn
ing that messiness of appearance
does not necessarily denote a cas-
ual attitude towards life. r
Actually, real nonchalance is
more often the off-shoet of self
assurance about your looks than
the result of tumbled frowsiness.
A nagging worry that your ap-
pearance isn't up to par, despite
the current trend, can undermine
your poise.
Proper hair care doesn't mean a
young girl is to plaster her locks
down in formal coiffures. 1t does
mean that a fy-away arrangement
is no excuse for uncleanliness or
lack of gloss. Keep your hair-do
youthful, but suggest your latent
maturity by faithful adherence to
a routine of frequent shampoos
and nightly brushings.
. Neat, well-brushed clothes and
clean, polished shoes are an indi-
cation, too, of your developing
self-pride. If yours are the tradi-
tional saddle oxfords, encrusted
with CRIME and dirt, start a new
fad in your school for shining
white rather than tattle-tale gray.
It's easy to keep your two-tone
shoes sparkling with a minimum
of smears and trouble, provided
you remember this simple trick.
Before applying the white polish,

DIGHTON, Mass, Sept. 12.-
The homes of six workers at the
ke-affected Mt. Hope Finishing
Co.. were stoned last night and
early today by a mob of $50 that
was dispersed by rife and pistol
fire.
Police Chief John w. Synan
said several women took part in
what he called a "riotous" demon
stration.
James MCGOWAN and Edward
O'Connell, who remained at work
when a strike was called five weeks
ago by the CIO Textile Workers
Union, used a shotgun and a pistol
to drive the mob away from their
window-shattered homes.
Chief Synan said rocks weigh
ing as much as four pounds were
hurled through the windows of the
two houses. Mrs. Edith O'Connell,
35. was manhandled and suffered
cut wrist as she attempted to
rout the mob by playing a hose
on them.

Senator Mcfarland said the
Senate should be able to take a

VENICE, Italy. Sept. 12.-Igor
StravinSky'S new opera, The
Rake's Progress" had its world
premiere here last night. There is
little doubt that the public took
the opera to its heart-but critics
are apt to be arguing about it for
many years to come.
To the thunderouS applause of
a capacity audience at La Fenice
Theater, the Russian COM
poser took three curtain calls. 1t
appeared to have been a pleas
antly surprised audience, delight
ed at the tuneful arias and the
traditional treatment they might
not have expected from a pioneer
of Mr.. Stravinsky's repute.
But the opera left some critics
a bit puzzled. For instance, Giulio

Hits Liquor Tax Rise

The proposed Federal tax in

tax will result in a tremendous
squirt in liquor sales between now

plated date when the increase
would go into effect.
Consumers will stock up to

Ex-Tax Aide Describes
Dealings Of Truck Body
Company He Heads
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-James
B. E. Olson, resigned district sup
erviSor of the Federal Alcohol Tax
Unit here, returns to a Congress
sional witness stand today for
further investigation of his finan-
cial relationships.
He explained yesterday to a
House subcommittee that a motor
truck body firm he heads sold less
than 3 per cent of its production
IN 1916 to holders of Federal al
coholic beverage permits.
His trucks were sold mainly
through agencies, Mr.. Olson said,
and his salesmen knew him too
we'll for him to have had to tell
them to stay away from liquor
concerns and breweries.
Link with Costello.
Then there was the matter of
his seeking a television distribu-
torship.
He did not know Mr.. Olson
testified, that Gambler Frank
Costello might have had some link
with the Teleking Corp, with
which Mr.. Olson was trying to do
business. until the recent Senate
Crime Committee hearings.
James Wright an assistant when
MI Olson headed the tax district,
said Olson went easy on a liquor
firm headed by Louis I. PokrasS,
who was an executive of Teleking.
Mr.. PokraSS, Mr.. Wright said,
was in danger of losing his Fed
eral liquor permit because his
Gotham Liquor Corp. was not
actively engaged in business over
a stipulated period of time.
Calls System Efficient.
In another matter, Mr.. Olson
told the inquiry that he spent
only two hours a day at his So, 400
a-year Federal job-which he re-
signed last August 24-because he
had built up such an efficient
system in his Office that he didn't
have to be there full time.
AS questioning concluded late
in the evening, Mr.. Olson asked
to be excused from today's hear
ings.
He had had only four hours of
sleep in 80 hours, he said, and
had to appear before a Senate
committee in Washington tomor-
row.
1t was finally agreed that he
would return today. providing. .
however, that an accountant got
his tax records in the Subcommit-
tees hands two hours earlier.
Threatened With Contempt.
Twice during the day Mr.. Olson
was threatened with contempt
action for his. purported reluc-
tance to produce records de-
manded by the committee.
Testimony yesterday involved
Mr.. Olson and Joseph D. Nunan,
jr., former commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, with a wine COM
pany headed by Joseph Apple /
baum. described by Mr.. Olson as
"a very good friend"
Mr.. Wright and William H. Il
Kennedy of Tell City, Ind. re-
tired assistant deputy Internal
Revenue commissioner, said the
concern got a permit before an
investigation was completed.
Mr.. Wright said the investiga-
ton resulted in an unfavorable
report. i
Mr.. Olson said he could not
recall that the job he later got
with the wine firm had any con-
nection with the permit. II
Mr.. Olson and Mr.. Nunan were
associated in 1949 with the Amer
lean Lithofold Corp. of st. Louis.
Mr.. Nunan had then left the 8
Federal service, But Mr.. Olson has
testified he got $4,000 to solicit
business for the printing firm
while with the tax unit. II
