Wives Of Top Officials
Applaud Festival
Fashion Show Here

Swim suits and stylish gowns
captivated more than 1000
feminine admirers, including
Mrs. Eisenhower, in a fashion
show opening the Cherry Bios
som Festival at the Statler
Hotel yesterday.
While the range Of selections
was wide. it was the bathing
suits and the young ladies in
them that caused the greatest
stir. The swimming styles, fresh
out of California, included a
mink-trimmed job and one of
gold lace, the latter called "the
Fort Knox Knockout"
Mrs. Nixon Delighted.
Also in a place of honor at
the head table. along with Mrs.
Eisenhower and the wives of
several cabinet members was
Mrs. Nixon, wife of the Vice
President. She showed especial
delight in the fashion show of
beach wear, sports clothes, street
and evening costumes.
The reason for her pride was
that the show of all-America
designs was put on by the Cali
fornia Fashion Creators, repre-
Senting more than 375 design
ers and manufacturers in her
home State.
Both Mrs. Eisenhower and
Mrs. Nixon were in step with the
spring flower motif. With her
black wool suit, Mrs. Eisenhower
wore a close fitting hat of pur-
pie Violets and matching gloves.
Mrs. Nixon wore a charcoal
shantung suit and her pancake
hat was Of rose petals.
Pink Highlighted.
In keeping with the cherry
blossoms, pink was highlighted-
and pink. incidentally. is Mrs.
Eisenhower'S favorite color. From
Zolot'S collection there was an
all-pink tennis outfit down to
pink shoes, racket and tennis
balls.
The climax of the show of 86
models was a beautiful ball gown,
named for the festival. Designed
by Edith Small, it was fashioned
of 5000 sheer silk leaves onto
which were pressed $4,000 SPAR
king rhinestones. The leaves, in
graduating tones Of pink. were
sewed separately onto net.
The distinguished audience in
'cluded such notableS as Mrs. Ar
thur Summertield, Mrs. Herbert

Public Offers
Suggestions To
Rescue Puppy

CARLSBAD, N. NJ. Upholstered
by multitude of suggestions, Fire
Chief Ira Stockwell today took his
turn at trying to rescue a 2-month-
4 old pup from the bottom of a dry
water well.
| Ideas by the dozen were offered
by newspaper readers and radio
listeners.
It all began nine days ago when
5-year-old Teresa Curtis pushed
two pups into a hole in her back
yard. It's about 10 inches wide al
the top and 80 feet deep.
Her cousins, Dan Hardin, Is, and
Poe Hardin, IL, rescued one Of
the pups. They lowered burlap
sack and the pup walked into it.
But the other little mongrel SHE'D
off.
The Hardin boys have been keep
ing the trapped pup alive by low
ering bowls of milk and cereal.
Yesterday a couple of Boy Scout.
tried unsuccessfully to drop a rope
loop over the pup and haul him Il
safety.
New Mexico newspaper and wir.
service offices we're beseiged witt
suggestions for rescue. One of tht
plans came from a woman WHIT
said:
''Send the other puppy down II
basket. The trapped puppy mag
be so glad to see him he'll climb
in the basket too"
A fisherman: Drop a piece oil
net the size of the bottom of the
hole to the bottom with ropes tied
to the four corners. When he
reaches for the piece of meat in
the center, jerk him out like a
catfish"
One man asked, ''Why all the
fuss?-kick the hole in on top of
him"
Another offered, "Fll the well
to a depth of two or three feet
with corks. Do it slowly so the
pup can crawl on top. Then fill
the well with water so he'll float
to the top"
Lower a little boy in a stout
pair of coverallS on rope" Sug-
gested a woman, land let him
bring the puppy back"
An elderly lady suggested build
ing lattice work ladder and let.
ting the pup climb out.

from county jail before Christmas
Day.

across Douglas Martin, A, who
said he had been there for 6S days.
Committed for failure to pay $50
court costs in a dismissed child

been forgotten. Thompson said
Martin already had served more
thar enough time to write off the
costs.
The defender petitioned for his
freedom on a writ of habeas

Nayy Ships Department Shows 1t Really Can
Live Up To Motto, Doing The Difficult"

"Doing the difficult" is the not
to Of the Key West Naval Stauor
Ships Department, who had The
opportunity recently to put thelg
motto to work.
Working on the pressure hull d
"a submarine is critical business
especially &c the crew OF the boa

lpressures. As a consequence. ths
Nays Bureau Of Ships maintains
a tight control over any submarine
welding and authorizes only a few
naval activities to weld on subma.
rIne hulls.
So when the uSS MsdresaI
tss 4scl. operating cut Of Key
West, Florida needed main en-
CINE repair work, there was a
problem Of getting II dcns. The
Ships Department Of the Key
West Naval Station had never
been authorized TO work on a
Submarines pressure hull, and
this was the only way TO make
the necessary repairs on the Med
regal main engines.
The repair officer for Submarine
Squadron Twelve asked Comman
der S. H. Pierce, Head of the Ma
val Station Ships Department IL ht
thought the hull work could b.
done in Key West. Although a re
pair of this nature had never beer
done in Key West before, Com
mander Pierce assured them thai
it could be done.
Then came the problem of selling
the Bureau of Ships. The welders
assigned to the Medregal project
underwent a strict welding exam,
nation established by BuShips
Specifications detailing the rigour
GUS BuShips requirements had Il
be prepared and issued as instru +.
tons to the shops involved. Final
Ily, convinced that the Naval Sta
ton had taken every precautior
and would stick to its rigorous
standards, BuShips gave theil
okay, and work began.
Removing and welding large
holes in submarine pressure
hull is tiekiish work. Wsrpage,
which is considered q routine
hazard in most welding jobs, is
not permitted in submarine work.
Once the burning Of the 40 square
foot hole began, careful measure

was made. These measurements
were taken after fhe 40 foot
patch was removed and while il
was being revealed. The least
deviation meant that the work
would have to be done all over
again.

DALLAS, Tex. R-Atty. John P.

That's easy" answered Sand

And that's how Sanders learned

wreck, although not seriously In
jured.

ray pictures were taken Of every
inch of the welding. On the sur
face every thing may look perfect
ly good, but inclusion Of minute
quantities of Stag or invisible
'cracks would mean doing the job
lover again. The Xray revealed a
perfect job, credit to the Design
superintendent Bernard Frank
who performed the technical super
vision.
The final test of the work was
made fathoms deep in the waters

Clip Weeds In Pasture
AgronOmist Advises
Weeds pay no rent.

Weeds pay no rent -"
That's the reminder to farmers
from Dr II L. Dunton, head of
NPI'S agron0my department. He
says farmers should clip pastures
to control weeds. if they haven't
already done so Weeds growing
in pastures do nothing but de-
crease grazing capacity which
means loss of money The time
TO clip is before the weed seeds
are fully developed.
Dunt0n also noted that many
ladino orchard grass pastures
have not been grazed down this
spring. AS result, a lot of the
orchard grass, along with fescue
and other tall. aggressive grasses,
tend to suppress the iadino clover.
which furnishes much Of the pas
ture later in the season.
If TINS is happening in your
pasture, Dunton recommends that
YOU clip the tall orchard grass to
prevent shading A, the same
time YOU VIII provide yourself
with a crop of hay
