VOTING AT IS

The Republican Party is making concerted to win reduction in the voting age throughout the country from 21 to 18
 They should get lot of support not only from the young people but from many others who feel that if boys of 18 are old enough to serve in the armed forces they're old enough to vote. As for the girls since they generally considered to have reached legal maturity at 18 in most states, they too should be qualified to vote.
 Our guess is that the young voters would take their privilege lot seriously than most of their elders do. They couldn't do much worse what with half the individuals of voting age either not bohering to ster or failing to go to the polls.
 Let's give the 18-year-olds the right to vote.
 They deserve it.

Methodist Bishop Hits Investigators Inaccuracies

WASHINGTON, R-Bishop c. Bromley Oxnam told the House un American Activities Commit tee today it should frankly ad- init it's inaccuracies and misrepre- sentations" about him.
 And he called on the commit tee, in statement prepared for a hearing which he requested, to halt ''the practice of releasing unverified and unevaluated ma terial for which the committee ac- cepts no responsibility"
 eve cannot beat down the Communist menace by bearing false witness against fellow Am ericans," the Methodist church man said. "The Communists want divided America, an America whose citizens are suspicious of each other, an America without trust, an America open to infil- tration.
 T believe this committee will wish to end practice that plays into Communist hands"
 T have requested opportunity to appear voluntarily to se- cure redress for the damage done me by the release of information in the files of this committee" Bishop Oxman said. q deeply ap- preciate the grant of this priv ilege.
 ''Such releases, made at various times for period of nearly seven years, have contained material, much of which is irrevelant and immaterial, some of which is false and some of which is true, but all prepared in way capable of creating the impression that I have been and am sympathetic to Communism, and therefore sub versive
 T have been actively opposed to Communism all my life. I have never been a member of the Com munist party. My opposition to Communism is a matter, of public record in books, numerous arti- cles, addresses and sermons :"
 The churchman also asked Rep. Donald L. Jackson R-CaliD 'fto apologize on the floor of the House for his unprecedented and untrue statements made there concerning me-
 Jackson had assailed the bishop as a man who served God on Sunday and the Communist front for the balance of the week"
 Jackson also made reference to the committees files on Oxnam and said they mirrored record of aid and comfort to the Com muniSt front"
 Oxnam said Jackson drew from the committees files conclusion that he held Communist sym pathies.
 ''If a member of the committee can be so misled by this material it is no wonder that uniformed citizens are similarly misled," he added.

Hilarious
HutContest
By Frances Lids

A hat topped by a miniature
Democratic donkey that wiggled
its ears and SwiShed its tail won
a special award in a hat contest
yesterday at the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club.
But a panel of judges, repre-
Senting three local newspapers,
refused to suggest the outcome
of future elections by naming it
the that most likely to succeed" J"
Worn by Mrs. Kenneth
Bruner. the entry was an OBJ
vious prize-winner from the mo-
ment it made its appearance
at the clubs "hatS-on-parade
luncheon.
The non-partiSan judges, how
ever. ruled it ineligible for the
category selected by the con-
testant.
For the enthusiastic Demo-
Gratis, that was the only disap-
pointing note in an otherwise
hilarious program.
Members and guests had been
invited to wear their wittieSt or
most glamorouS hats to the first
summer program of the season.
And they responded by present.
ing an array of novel headgear
decorated with everything from
17-year locusts to a map of Texas
symbolizing the tidelandS oil
issue.
Mrs. Joseph A. keenan,, jr.,
used a miniature bridge and
other parts of her sons model
railroad set to design a hat en-
titled "cattle crossing" which
won first prize in the most ri
diculous" class.
A close contender was the up
sidedown garden basket draped
with an antique black lace scarf
worn by Mrs. st. George L. Sious-
sat, chairman of the clubs
gardening committee.
Mrs. Samuel Herrick modelled
a flowered creation from the
Goodwill Industries costume ccl-
lection to win first place in the
most glamorous" category.
In the historical" class, en-
tries included a hat worn to
President Franklin D. RooSevelt's
third Inauguration, an ermine
number. with accessories. which
had been worn to a California
wedding in 1881, and a 1O0-year-
old bonnet from the Goodwill
collection.
An easy prize-winner, however,
was the cloche of the late 1920s
modelled by Mrs. Frederic I. Hal
stead.
Mrs. Frank Rogers walked off
with the prize given to the hat
judged the most democratic
with a little d." Her headgear
featured a bird in cage. It
was pointed out to the audience
that the bird was democratic be-
cause the cage wasn't gilded!
Wearing a chic, contemporary
chapeau. Mrs! Fred w. Morrison
was given a prize for the that
most likely to succeed-at a
party"
Some of the most ingenious
numbers were worn by members
of the Hospitality Committee
who refused to enter the compe-
tition.

the lacy pattern Of dried syca-
more leaves which had been
molested by Japanese beetles to
create a pickup" hat which
also featured dried seedpods and
dried. Seaweed. Earrings of
sweetgum Seedpods completed
her striking costume.
Mrs. Florence Kerr. first vice
president, presided at the lunch
con wearing a hat of nylon net
purchased in the days when
nylon first came on the market.
A space helmet, adorned
with a real radio and battery,
also attracted wide interest.
Another popular exhibit was
the black picture hat decorated
with white placards listing such
issues as National Resources
Give-Away", Defense Cuts" and
"Go-it-alone Policy.
Mrs. George Van Derhoef wore
a coolie hat from Samoa, deco
rated with figurines from ia
pan. And Mrs. Norman Tietjens
used 17-year locusts to decorate
her small white beanie.
The millinery motif was car
ried out in the table decorations,
and the head table was centered
with a milliner'S mannequin
wearing a hat made of fresh,
purple pansies.
