Making members of Congress
subject to the libel laws would
not only tie up the legislative
process but would be "a bad
thing in a democracy" Senator
Jackson, Democrat, of Washing
ton, told the Women's National
Press Club yesterday.
Asked if this wouldn't be one
way Of keeping congressional
investigations from getting out
Of hand, Senator Jackson de-
clared: when compared with
the overall public interest served,
it would be a mistake, a bad
thing In q democracy to impose
such limitations on legislators. "
At the same time, the Sena-
tor who was recently named to
the Senate Committee on Gov
eminent Operations. headed by
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin. agreed that there
is "a real danger" that public
support may be undermined by
Congress abuse of its investigat-
ing powers.
The Senator explained that
Congress derives these rights not
from the Constitution, but from
the unwritten precedents set by
old English common law, which
were carried over to this country
by its founding fathers.

Fashion
Notes

A friend once described Spain
In terms of color and said that
he thought of the country as
black, red, white, and yellow. In
direct contrast, another friend
said that the colors of Spain to
him were the monotone shades
of fawn gray, green, mustard.
and the earth tones of rust and
brown.
Evidently both may be correct
In their Interpretation since all
of these colors are to be seen
in the magnif1cently costumed
group of Jose Greco dancers cur
rently appearing in Washington.
The student of Spanish costume
art will find them exciting as will
American women who like to
trace the style influences of their
current fashions.
The fitted costumes OF the
male dancers prove that it is no
myth that Spanish tailors are
amongst the finest in the world.
And the women Flamenco
dancers silhouette, perhaps the
most famous of all Spanish
fashions, illustrates perfectly
that feminine rufaes can prove
devastating. The long torso line
with the TERED skirt caScading
in rufiaes ending in q train is
striking whether seen on stage in
a brilliant red silk or q polka dot
cotton.
Other fashion notes apparent
in the dance groups costumes
include the famous Spanish
fringed shawlS in red, black or
white, plenty Of Starched petit
coats. large silver and gold ear
rings, lace mantillas, combs and
dramatic braid trim on the short
boleros Of the men dancers.
Striped silk cummerbunds and
other waist emphasizerS worn by
the men could be the forerun-
nerS of the "cinch" belts that
have been so popular here in
America.
The exquisitely worked white
long-Sleeved shirts of the men.
however, must have caused a
ripple of envy in the women in
the audience. They, too. have
been the inspiration for a num-
Der of blouse designers. The
short tight "bull fighter" trousers
have also been "swiped" by
lounge wear creators for women.
The footwear of the dancers
will also look a bit familiar to
the women who have worn the
low-heeled strapped pumps that
were originally designed by Ca
pezio in New York for the late
great Spanish dancer, Argen-
tinita, a great many years ago.

luncheons being sponsored by the
club at the Congressional Hotel,
had selected as his topic: What
the Democrats Think of Con-
greSsional Investigations"
He refrained from directing
specific criticism toward the
committee to which he has been
appointed or to its chairman, but
said he was "a little horrified"
to learn it will investigate any
thing and everything"
Senator Jackson said he would
not attempt to predict what the
committee is going to do. He
expressed hope, however. that
it will avoid situations that
would needlessly malign the
regulations Of individuals. He
also expressed the opinion that
the committee should follow the
rule mot to hold public hearings
unless there is probable cause to
believe the public interest is di-
rectly concerned"
In the Teapot Dome scandal,
he said for example, the pub
licity from open hearings brought
a response from the public that
cleared up a case the investigat-
ing committee might never have
solved in closed session.
The Senator sideStepped a
query asking him if he thought
the Eisenhower administration
had asked Senator McCarthy's
committee to shelve its investi-
cations of Communists in Gov
eminent because it wanted to
get rid of the term Mccarthy

Der of the minority now" he
said.
Reiterating his belief in pro-
tecting the rights of the indi-
vidual, Senator Jackson said he
was troubled" about the pretty
close to third degree" aspect of
televiSed hearings. He also
stressed the Importance of in
vestigators being sure that wit
nesses are accorded every right
consistent in getting the truth. :"
For reasonably effective cross
examination, he said, a commit
tee investigator should be coun-
sci for defense sometimes, coun-
sci for plaintiff at other times,
and above all.a good judge. He
should also be a constructive
critic and assessor of the situ-
alton with. which he is con-
fronted and at all times main
tain a judicial temperament lest
a witness be intimidated.

AT long last we have the par
entS of school children inter-
ested in their schools. and as
usual. that interest resulted in
new difficulties. Parents are,
more often than not, strangers
to schools. and, in their newly
awakened sense of duty to do
something about matters, they
are likely to make mistakes.
A school is an organized ma
chine on the administrative side.
The bells must ring, the sched-
ules must be followed, and the
teachers must cooperate so that
the school as a unit holds to it's
track. Here, the individual is
submerged, and rightly so, for
he serves the whole group better
that way.
The classroom is another
story. Here. the teacher becomes
hilnself-the pupils are known
as individuals. each with their
strong and weak points, talents
and handicaps. The teacher is
supreme in dealing with his
pupils.
The parents who visit the
school in an attitude of helpful
ness must abide by the basic
rules Of the school. On no con-
dition must they interfere per-
sonally. For instance. it would
be most unwise for parent to
stop a teacher who was leading
a class through the building at
dismissal time and take a child
of the line or out of the group
and tell him to put his coat on.
That responsibility is the teach
er's and interference at that
moment might lead to trouble.
In the classroom, the parent
should be an unobtrusive guest.
He should never take the atti-
tude of critic. For example, 1t

HOLLYWOOD.-Ruth Roman
Is one girl who has made her
dreams come true. When she was
q child in Boston she had one
ambition: To become a movie
star. She did not allow any
thing-even severe privations-
to make her lose sight of this
goal.
Even when one person in
authority after another told me
I was not beautiful enough or
sufficiently talented to make the
grade, didn't let them discour-
age me-" Ruth conf1ded as we
chatted In the charming living
room of her Brentwood home.
II was determined to prove that
they were wrong"
asked Ruth to tell me the
secret Of her success-how she
went from an average Boston
girl to one Of Hollywood's most
important stars.
Hard work, the ability to take
hard knocks, and an unshakable
confidence in myself" she
answered. after The Champion
people used to say to me, Aren't
you lucky to have become a
star overnight Ruth laughed,
''They didn't realize all the years
Of struggle which lay behind
this break"
"It is wonderful to have op-
portunity knock on your door,
but you have to be ready in
order to make the most Of It,"
Ruth added.
Though Ruth's new son is still
q baby. her figure is now perfect.
I wanted to know what she did
to get back into such good shape.
Exercise Is the answer" Ruth
said quickly. II don't think most
people realize how much can be
accomplished with just 5 or
10 minutes every day. It isn't
necessary to exhaust yourself
just work hard enough to get
up your circulation. The i'm
portant thing is to stay with it.
A wishy- -washy attitude won't
get you anywhere"
A maid brought in a tray of
cool drinks and finger sand
wiches, but I noticed that Ruth
didn't eat anything.
"Are you dieting?" I wanted
to know.
Ruth answered, II always try
to leave the table feeling as If !
could enjoy a little more. But
sometimes when there are parties
I over-indulge in food. But ]
take of the extra weight i'm
mediately.
II find it much more pleasant
to eliminate fattening things
than to follow a set diet" she
added. "For instance, I never
eat between meals. I give up
butter and dessert, use salt
sparingly, and drink no liquids
with my meals. Salt and water
make you heavy because they
cause the tissues to retain fluids"
I asked Ruth what was the
biggest thing she had had to
overcome.
"It Is not easy for me to look
like a glamor girl when I am
not working" she said. when
you are on a picture, you have
to be dressed and in full make
up from early in the morning
until late at night. So it was a
vacation for me when I wasn't
working to wear slacks. a
sweater. and to put nothing on
my face. When I lived alone it
didn't matter how looked when
I was at home, but now it is a
different story. I think no mat
ter how little time or money a
woman has, she should make an
effort to be attractive for her
husband"
What is your favorite glamor
trick?" I asked.
