The Male Corner
Shop This Week: It's
Later Than You Think
By Edwurd lawrence

Mathematically there are 10
shopping days till Christmas.
But don't let the calendar fool
you. There are actually only
six shopping days and four
pickup" days.
There are six days to do the
thoughtful, carefully planned
buying that your favorite peo-
pie deserve, and then four hec-
tic. last-minute free-for-al
during which you'll "pick up
a pound box Of candy for Great
aunt Augusta, a carton of Gig
arettes for Uncle Fred and q
modest set Of plastic blocks for
the Nexdors' dear little toddler.
You'll shoulder and pummel
your way through the chaos at
the drugstore for the dozen
other So whatnots for fringe
friends and distant relatives. So
let's set aside the next few days
before the storm to finish up
the serious shopping.
An excellent serious" gift is
q colorful warm wool sweater of
the skiing -and-skating variety.
A perennial campus favorite,
this practical sweater can do a
lot to cheer up a melancholy
winter day. In addition it's
bright colors and picturesque de-
signs make 1t an especially at
tractive, "Christmasy" Christ
mas present.
Another pleasant sweater is a
Mch cashmere-nylon- blend pull
over in tan or dark gray with
white nubs. It's very soft to
the touch and looks extremely
good under, say, a houndstooth
check sports jacket.
Very much in favor this year
in both mems and women's
sweaters are diamond patterns,
especially those in which dia-
monds in different shades Of the
same color partially overlap one
another. A sleeveless sweater in
various tones Of brown and tan
can put new life into last years
tweed suit or jacket and Slacks
outfit.

To ward of the chill and
drizzle. look for a nylon "anti-
freeze" short jacket. The all
nylon outer shell will stand up
well under long, hard wear,
while its woody nylon fleece lin
ing gives plenty Of warmth with
very little weight. But the
Jackets best selling point is that
it can be washed in the washing
machine.

The history Of this event goes
back to 1922. when the bal

Later it was changed to the bal

making it the most beautiful
event that all the arts. working

Humphrey Charges
Administration Has
Packed Labor Board
BY the Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. s.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat Of
Minnesota, today accused the
Eisenhower administration of
packing" the National Labor
Relations Board with members
antagonistic toward unions.
ALREADY two new board men,
bers have been appointed" Sem
ator Humphrey said in a state
ment prepared for the State
convention of the Minnesota
Federation of Labor.
"They are eStimable gentle
men, but there are signs that
they intend to pursue union
damaging potentialities of Taft
Hartley to the hilt."
The two new appointees to
the five-man board are Chair
man Guy Farmer, a Washing
ton lawyer, and Philip Ray
Rodgers, who had been chief Of
the Senate Labor Committee
staff. The Senate approved both
nominations without objection.
A third appointment is ex-
pected to be made by President
Eisenhower within the next few
weeks to fill one remaining va
cancy.
Senator Humphrey said that,
if the Republicans won't go
through the legislative motions
of toughening Taft-Hartley
against unions, then they will
Evening star., 1953-10-05

achieve the same goal by pack
ing the board with anti-union
members and interpreting out
of existence whatever projections
for unions Taft-Hartley carried
over from the Wagner Act"
The board now contains the
two Eisenhower appointees and
two holdovers from the Truman
administration. There have been
reliable reports that the four
members are finding majority
decisions difficult to reach.
Senator Humphrey said "big
business elements" now provide
"the main underpinnings of ad-
ministration labor policy, as well
as in every other issue"

ceed and can tell when don't.
This isn't by way of complaint because
this very personal sense of victory gives
me much of the pleasure find in the thea
ter. Theatrical glory consists in my know
ing that when the first-act curtain has
fallen the audience has forgotten me as a
glamorous blonde and accepted me as an
actress. After all, hope to be an actress
much longer than hope to be glamorous
I'll have to be. Marlene Dietrichs don't
grow on trees. If they did, every man in
America would plant an orchard, industry
would go to pot and where would we be?

not now, a never-never land. Blonde as l
am, do know the shape of broom and

I'm really sorry for women who take CLAM
our too seriously, too intently, and live the
life of portrait. 1t can never be a true
portrait.
The Illusion
In ANY human relationship the time must
come when someone for whom you care
deeply catches you with curriers' in your
hair or watches you stumble blindly about
the room, trying to locate that first cup
of coffee without which you refuse to do
anything but bark like dog. Give any
one the illusion that the perfect hairdo, the
ideal dress, the touch-me-not perfection,
are the permanent state of affairs, and you
are kidding two people of whom one is you.
And it's exhausting in the bargain.
Mind you, I'm not trying to beg off. l

l have to pay through
the teeth for photos
and clothes and beauty

other accessories of
glamour. Of themselves
these things do not give
me pleasure to the ex-
tent that l must in
dulge them. They only
give me debts. l must
do more of this buying
and primping than any
normal woman should
have to do.

ing hip boots and carrying sack of dead
mackerel, provided she smokes cigarette
in long holder Such men don't really like
women but they are crazy about cigarette
holders. The whole thing is much too psy-
Geological for me.
Men, by their pernicious influence, can
now set styles in glamour more than ever
before because the nation now has about
two million more females than males The
males have won a smashing statistical
victory which they attribute to their per-
sonal charm, forgetting that it's simply
matter of women having too many storms
and not enough ports.
A Big Edge
I'm SURE that some of the current en-
phasis on glamour may be traced to the
statistical difference between male and
female. Love has become buyers market
with no price control, and some furious
competition. Glamour is supposed to give
a woman an edge - and it does.
But life as full-time Cinderella is not
all gin and skittles, or goulash and Tokay.

They are putting me

The Struggle

BILLINGS,-Th Reclamation pro.
gram in the Bureau of Reclamation
Region reached an all-time high
in 1852 with the initiation of con-
struction activities on six major units
of the Missouri River Basin Prof
ect and the completion of two units
of the basin-wide, resource develop
ment program, it was announced this
week by K. F. Vernon, director of
the Bureaus Region which includes
Montana east of the Continental Di-
vide, the northern half of Wyoming
east of the divide, and North and
South Dakota.
The units on which construction ac-
tivities were started during 1862, Re-
gional Direcor Vernon said, include
four multipurpose dams, jamestown
in North Dakota, Pactola in South
Dakota, and Tiber and Missouri Di-
version in Montana. Two units, Fort
Clark in North Dakota and Grow
Creek in Montana, are entirely irri-
cation pumping units. Completion of
CIlS SlA uulLS Will make possible Cn0
irrigation of 265,OO0 acres of land
and the ultimate generation of about
1876, 100000 kilowatt-hours of cleo
trical energy annually.
The units on which construction
was completed during the year are
Boysen and Keyhole in Wyoming.
Boysen, on the Bighorn River up
stream from Thermopolis, serves to
control and conserve the river flow
for the generation of power, ulti-
mately about 70 million kilowatt-
hours annually from the ,OOO-kilo-
watt power plant, and indirectly to
make possible the irrigation develop
ment of 100000 acres in other Big
Horn and Wind River Basin units of
t h e co ordinated, comprehensive
development program.
Keyhole Unit, on the Belle Fourche
River near Moorcraft, was construct
ed to control floods and to store the

flood Waers to provide an additional
water supply for the 55,700-acre Belle
Fourche Reclamation Project in Yves
tern South Dakota. A capacity is pro
vided in Keyhole Reservoir for stor-
ing water allocated to Wyoming un-
der the Belle Fourche River compact
for irrigation of Wyoming lands.
Regional Director Vernon ex-
planned that irrigation and power
production are only two of the
multiple purposes of the BASIN
wide program. Wherever water is
stored, facilities are included in
the unit plan for other purposes
such as the control of floods, re-
tention of silt, abatement of pollu-
ton, provision of domestic and
sion of recreational possibilities,
enhancement of fish and wildlife
habitat, and other beneficial uses.
During 1852, large-scale construc-
ton activities also were under way
on Canyon Ferry Dam and Power
Plant on the Missouri River near
Helena, Mont, and on the irriga-
ton distribution system for the 12,-
900 acre Angostura Unit near Hot
Springs, S. D., (Angostura Dam was
completed in 1919, the 1,200-kilo-
watt power plant in 1851 Con-
struction of Canyon Ferry Unit was
started in 1949 and present sched-
ules call for work to be virtually
completed in 1868. The unit is the
"key" to future development in the
Missouri Basin upstream from Fort
Benton, Mont, Vernon said. Conser-
walton of Missouri River flows in the
2,050,000 acre-foot reservoir will
make possible the generation of
about 800 million kilowatt hours of
electrical energy annually from the
SO, 000-kilowatt Canyon Ferry Power
Plant and indirectly make possible
the irrigation of more than 100000
acres of land and the provision of

when Miller took office "a months
ago.
"All the many changes" Miller
added, "were instituted in direct re-
Spouse to the requirements of the
| Montana and related federal laws.
Compilation of complete wage records
of employees in covered industry,
notification to employers of claims
by former. employees, actuarial and
economic study of the operation of
the program, and promptness in de-
livery of benefit checks are all part
of the long-standing requirements.
The payment of benefits to quail
fled unemployed workers at the To-
cal office of the employment service
at the time they report a week of un-
employment is looked upon by the
retiring chairman as an outstanding
contribution of his term. This was be-
gun in October last, and eliminates
the delay which had always resulted
from mailing the claim to the cen
trail office for processing and for is
suance of the check, which was then
mailed to the jobless worker.

thanks to the majority of the COM
