Contractor Would
Cheut Government

WASHINGTON, April 8 (INS)
house armed services subcom-
mittee charged today that a Pat
terson, N. j., shoe manufacturer
sought to cheat the government by
substituting cheap materials in a
hospital slipper deal.
The subcommittee, headed by
Rep. Hebert Cd La, sent its
findings to the Justice Department
for possible prosecution. It also
urged that the company be barred
from submitting further govern
ment bids.
The firm, Fashion Sport Shoe
Co., received a $500, 00OArmy and
Navy contract for 100000 pairs
of canvas hospital slippers. The
subcommittee said the concern
hoped to make 100000 "above
it's normal profit" by using materi-
ais that deviated from government
requirements.
Blasting the Defense Depart
ment, the probers said that milit-
airy authorities r permitting the
manufacturer to complete the deal
under full surveillance.
The subcommittee said "There
are plenty of suppliers available
who will perform their work hon.
orably." Celebrating on it's charg-
es, the group declared:

sion that the officials of this COM

The subcommittee said the pro-
cedures provided for only spot
checks and government inspectors
dropped into the plant occasional

1t added that the company Of
ficials "knew that, being 'ontheir
own they could try to substitute
cheap material inthe manufacture
of hospital slippers without being

ers said, twas to have been the

Linen Strong
For Spring
Fashions
Bv Eleni

There is great play on linen
these days. Behind the strong en-
dorSement of this material by the
designers in the fashion picture,
stands the fact that linen is Civ
ing ''less trouble" than ever be-
fore: is vat-dyed In high fashion
colors such as turquoise. burnt
orange, black, red. navy, char
coal gray, and brown, AND is
far more crease resistant because
Of q chemical process which
renders it less susceptible to
wrinkles.
Testing and still more testing
on this fabric which was known
to the ancient Egyptians, has been
responsible for putting it into the
popular dress market. Look in any
fine shop today and you1l find the
fabric being made up into beau
tiful fashions enhanced by bead
ing. lace, and other luxury trims
formerly reserved for other fabric
favorites. -
The consumer Is expressing
more and more interest in learn
ing about what she buys. Par
ticularly Is this true where the
fashion business Is concerned. Be-
cause Of this, and because we are
also interested in the background
Of fashion we took a trip to Ho-
boken, N. j.. to see In action tests
conducted relative to wrinkle-re-
sistant linen. We probably could
have stayed at home and seen q
similar approach at the Bureau
Of Standards. but since we were
In New York seeing fashions we
figured that q trip to the q. s..
Testing Co. would be In order.
In noting some Of the processes
involved. we uncovered the fact
(supplied by Mr.. Robert Nc
Bratney whose family has been in
the linen business for many years
and who accompanied us to the
Textile Division Of the q. s. Test
ing Coz that no claims are
ever made that linen Is absolutely
crease resistant.
What has been evolved has been
the ability Of the fabric once
treated for Grease resistance" to
allow it to "snap" back in q SIM
liar manner as would wool or fine
silk. The synthetic resin em-
ployed to do this is impregnated
into the fabric and when properly
done lasts for the life Of the gar
ment.
Mr.. McBratney sends many of
his linens to the company as a
"check on the checking system"
that originates In Ireland where
the linen is originally processed
for his firm. The Textile Division
is just one small part Of this fab
ulous laboratory with divisions,
subdivisions. departments and

Reds Release
Two Spanish
Nuns In China
Sentenced To Prison On
Charges OF Numbering
1000 Orphan Children

HONG KONG-tNC)-Two Span
ish nuns of the Sisters of Mercy OF
Berritz, who we're sentenced to
prison terms by Chinese com
munist court in Wuhu last Christ
mas Eve for killing 900 children
in their orphanage," have been re.
leased and dep6rted over the Hong
Kong border.
The nuns are 55,year-old Sister
Mercedes Isasi of Bilbao, and Sis
ter Teresa Elorduy Of Munguis, Al.
Release of the nuns emphasized
the complete insincerity of the
communist officials in the charges
they make against the missionaries
and the true purpose of the cam
paign of yilificstion.
The Spanish nuns were arrested
in August, 1851, after a public ac-
cusation meeting had condemned
them lin sbsentia" of being re-
sponsible for the deaths of aban-
doned infants in the orphanage.
Numerous other accusation meet
ings" have been staged throughout
China to blacken the missionaries
reputation, in accordance with in
structions issued by the commun-
ist central government.
The Sisters we're held incom.
municado in prison. During Octo-
Der Sister Isasi became seriously
i'll. The doctor told the prison of
ficials that the nuns required bet
ter food than was served in the
Jail or they would die. Fearing he
would be held personally RESPONSE
BILE for the death of the nuns, the
doctor insisted that food be
brought to them from the mission.
Thereafter. the Sisters daily receiv-
ed not only European food, but al
so the Holy Eucharist, which was
concealed in the food.
On Dec. "a, the Sisters of Mercy
were led chained and roped to-
gether through the streets Of
Wuhu to the city court where Sis
ter Isssi was sentenced to four
years Imprisonment, and Sister
Elorduy to three.
On their return to Jail, the nuns
were placed in the same cell. Pre-
viouSly each Sister had been watch
ed by a woman spy who was put
in the cells to report on them.
They were given the clothes of
jail employees to wash and mend.
The nuns were apparently In
good health when they reached
Hong Kong. Four foreign Sisters
of their Congregation are still
working in Wuhu. One is able to
run a dispensary for the poor
