Fashion Show
.ToBeStaged
For Employees
BY DOROTHY ROE
AP Women's Editor

A man who should understand
women is Phil Meyers of Cincin-
natl, who employs $4,000 of them
and sells dresses to millions
throughout the United States and
nearly 40 foreign countries.
But Phil is still learning. The
latest thing he learned is that you
can't expect several thousand girl
office workers to type up orders for
millions of dresses every year and
never seen the darn thirgs.
These frustrated females recent
ly complained to the boss that if
he expected the office workers for
Fashion Frocks, Inc, to retain
their sanity, then, by golly, he'd
better produce some of the dresses
they were always writing about.
The upShot is that a unique
fashion show will be staged next
week in the business offices of the
firm in Cincinnati, with secre-
taries, stenographers, clerks and
bookkeepers modelling the clothes.
A special runway viii be erected
across the sea Of desks, and the
girls who have been building up
completes will get a chance to
express themselves at last, and
actually wear those fashions which
thus far have just been numbers
on an order blank.
The office staff members are
training for the big show at
series of evening classes Qor which
they are paid overtime), and in
structors from modelling schools
have been engaged to teach the
girls how to walk, turn, make up
and so on.
During the performance of
"Styles in the Aisles," work will
be abandoned for the afternoon
and the steno-models win parade
before an audience of fellow work.

WidoWer Became Movie Actress
At 81; Vitality Not Dimmed

for a woman who is widowed at
81?
"All l could look forward tC was
a life of dinner parties and teas"
says M,s. Gertrude Hoffman,. $50
I decided to be an actress"
That was almost 20 years ago.
At 81, Mrs. Hoffman is still lead
ing a busy life as film actress,
and her friends and family never
cease to wonder.
For So years, she was happily
married to Ralph Hoffman, found
err of the Santa Barbara Museum
of Natural History. Then the nat
uraliSt was killed during an exped-
ition to Channel Islands off the
California coast. Her three chill
dren had grown and left home and
she couldn't face an inactive life
in Santa Barbara.
Zone of my daughters, who had
been living in Europe, hurried
home with the intention of making
her home with me-" she recalled.
81 had quite time convincing her
that l really wanted to go to Holly
wood to be an actress. usually
it's the other way around: The
daughter wants to leave for the
movie life"
So Mrs. Hoffman came to Holly
wood, only to face the heartbreak
of most film newcomers.
For nine months, made the
rounds of the studios" she said.
81 would get furious when a snip
of boy with his feet on a desk
would say, Nothing today, Ger
trude. They all told me l had to
have an agent to get job. The
agents said / had to have a job
to get an agent"
Finally she landed a part in a
Warner GLAND film at RK0. From
then on she earned a comfortable
living with her portrayals of grande
danes, although one of her most
noted roles was a 'ifer in the prison
film Gagged"
AT 81, Mrs. Hoffman has started
a new career-TV. She has been
playing leading role in the Gale
Storm Charlie Farrell series my
Little Margie." This can lead to
pretty strenuous things.
In recent chapter, she and Gale
were crashing Hollywood. Mrs.

Empty Press Room
And Old Photos Tell
Story Of Dying OPS
By Froncis P. Douglas

In one corner Of the big room
a couple of tickers tapped out
the news.
Occasionally a telephone rang,
almost half f-heartedly and, un-
answered, went silent.
The fifteen or more desks in
the press room Of the expiring
Office Of Price Sterilization in
Temporary Building E are un-
occupied. No clatter Of type
writere rises under the fingers
of reporters hammering out the
news that once came in steady
stream.
Now the crowd gathers only
when the dwindling OPS staff
send out word there will be an
announcement Of another step in
the program to wipe out all price
ceilings by April 80.
But there was q time when the
desks were manned, the tele-
phones busy and when the news
flashed out had quick repercus-
sions in the stock and COM
modify markets and elbowed
other stories of newspaper front
pages.
Di Sale Seems to Linger.
It was place OF lots Of work
and some fun. Surprisingly, it
still seems to be dominated by
Michael v. Di Sale, the rotund
and genial one-time major Of
Toledo, who was the first price
stabilizer and an unusually canny
administrator.
At least four pictures Of him
form part Of a gallery of news
photos Of present and former
OPS officials pasted on one Of
the walls. In one of the pic
lures, by means Of colored
crayon and bits Of paper. he
acquired epaulettes, row of
decorations on his chest and a
cooked hat. Below is the under
line, "Our Hero" But the Sec
ond word has been corrected
facetiouSly to read Nero" .
Another picture shows him
talking over the telephone. The
underline Is ''I gotta hang up
now. They're breaking in the
door," Presumably "they" are
reporters.
One picture in the gallery is
of Edward p. Morgan, former
OPS enforcement officer. The
underline describes him as "Sher-
if Gimlet Eye Morgan" and he
is supposedly saying, "All right,
now! Where'd you get that
cow?"
Left-Handed Compliment.
One of the most striking pic
lures is a skillful fake. Basical-
ly, it was a news picture of Ava

Area BPIan
Eastern Co. Offers
S03 Apartments
And Row Houses
By GEORGE Bexeridoe

A proposal to build 803 apart
mentS and row houses with an
average rental of $17.75 per room
per month in the Southwest
Washington B Area has been
submitted by the Eastern Con-
struction Co., Inc, of Falls
Church.
Eastern was the second of five
building groups to disclose de-
tails of bids submitted Monday
to the Redevelopment Land
Agency for redeveloping the To-
acre Slum- ridden tract.
Developers to Own Project.
The RIA will negotiate a final
contract with one or more of the
groups for the rebuilding job
after an intensive analysis of
the proposals. The project will
be owned by the developers, after
the land agency acquires the
B Area land, clears it and sells
it to the contracting builder.
Eastern did not make public
the amount it proposed to pay
for the land, bounded roughly
by Fourth, South Capitol and I
streets and the Pennsylvania
railroad tracks.
Officials of the Arm noted,
however, that size of the pro-
posal was affected strongly by
RIA requirements for low-rental
housing in the area. The
agency's specifications said at
least one-third of the units
should rent for a maximum of
SIT per room per month, exclud-
ing utilities.
Leon Horowitz, Eastern vice
president, said this requirement
is met by the proposal, and that
the average proposed rental for
all the dwelling units is only
$17.75.
The land agency also specified
that there should be between $50
and 900 such units. Eastern
proposes to build 803.
OF these, Mr.. Horowitz said,
687 are three-story apartments
and 116 in two-story row houses.
OF the apartments. 1853 would
have two bedrooms and half
three bedrooms.
Rentals Include Heat.
Arthur H. Chaite, Washington
attorney and investor who par
ticipated in the bid and will
handle negotiations for the
groIp, said rentals proposed for
the apartments include:
For one bedroom, from $66.50
to $40 a month; for two bed
rooms, $76.50 to $3.50; three
bedrooms, $3.50. These prices
include heat and water but do
not cover gas and electricity
used.
Architect for the group is
Arthur P. Davis, who has de-
signed many projects in this
area and at one time was a con-
Sultant for the RIA.
The row houses, of Colonial
design, would be located in the
northwest part of the area. OFF,
street parking and play areas
are proposed throughout. Della
ware avenue, according to Mr..
Davis site plan, would extend
northward through the project,
ending in a cul-de-sac between
G street and the F street ex-
preSSway. The avenue would
give direct access to dwellings
in the western section of the de-
velopment.
Shopping Center Proposed.
A shopping center, with park
ing in both the front and rear,
is proposed for the east side of
Fourth street. between G. and I
streets. H street would dis
appear in the extensive rebuild
ing job. =
Mr.. Chaite said the group pro-
poses that a pair Of three-Story
parking garages be constructed
in commercial areas north Of the
F street expressway, and that an
Office building for professional
people be put opposite the shop
