Discusses
Maternity
Fashions
BY MoriIyn Mercer

NEW YORK. - "Pregnancy'S
no time to go into hiding.
Mothers-to-be should keep up
as many regular activities as
posSible-and pay just as much
attention to appearance and
clothes as they do at other
times"
These are the sentiments of
Soprano Mimi Benzell. who's
expecting a baby herself late in
September. She's living up to
her words, too: She made con-
cert and TV appearances up to
the first week in July, and now
she's keeping herself busy seeing
friends and decorating !. her
apartment.
Mimi admits a passion for
clothes. A petite brunette, she
likes bright color, fresh, smart
details in the French manner
and distinctive neckline treat
ments that draw eyes upward to
her face. She looks for these
touches in her maternity things
as well as in her regular ward
robe.

deception though" she says. ST
try to look like an attractive
woman who's expecting a baby"
She prefers separates, always.
One-piece dresses, she feels,
make her look heavy. Her ia
vorites, for casual wear, are
bright colored. f1aring cotton
shirts, cut sleeveless with tri-
angular kerchief style collars
and patch pockets. She has
these in different colors to wear
with skirts and tapered pants.
She likes them especially be-
cause she can wear them just as
well when she's not pregnant,
with or without a belt. In fact,
shes found that many clothes
this year are similarly converti-
BILE. Designers are making reg
ular clothes that look like ma
ternity styles" she says. It's a
wonderful time to be having a
baby"
Checked and figured cotton
tops. with tiny collars and bows,
are another favorite style. For
dreSsier daytime occasions she
likes especially a shantung suit
with wide pleats in the back of
the jacket.
Advises Bock FuIIness
Back fullness is wonderful in
maternity things" she says. 1T
allows plenty of room, balances
your figure and looks slim from
side to side"
For evening Mimi clings to
her separates theme, choosing
tops in lame and lace over me-
talic fabrics to wear with black
skirts. Her only complaint is
that she can't wear a stole with
her two-piece affairs-"too many
conflicting lines" she says.
She has one evening outfit
which breaks her rule about de-
ceptive devices. It's pale blue
taffeta strapless, with a faring
overskirt. The waistline is in
the normal place, but the bodice
is set into the skirt, cleverly, in
a deep, Elizabethan point. Its
the V-shaped line that does it.
Mimi explains. II wore it on

She does keep up a certain
amount of swimming, however,
and this has presented another
clothes problem. Mimi feels that
maternity swimsuits are all
alike, and that those she's found
on the market so far do nothing
for her. So she's designed her

Minis devoted to active sports
and a fiend for exercise-for
both personal and professional
reasons she wants to keep in
trim. "Of course, during preg-
nancy" she says, II have to cut
down on my normal activities"
these include lots of tennis,

swimming and golf. However,
she manages to keep her arms in
shape with a contraption called
a Relaxicisor, a gadget that
works out muscles through elec-
trical impulses.
II get the equivalent of a
couple of sets of tennis while
lying in bed" she says.

much as they do normally" ]"
She's even a little regretful that
she won't have a chance to wear
the fall tweeds and exciting
woolens with smart fur touches.
"I'll just have to have my next
baby during the winter" she
says.

Commissioners DENY
License 10 Hacker
Despite Plea by Byrd

The District Commissioners
yesterday turned down request
from Senator Byrd. Democrat,
of Virginia, to renew a taxicab
license to a man who has a
two-page-long record of traffic
violations.
Senator Byrd acted on behalf
of David Rifkin, 43. who had
been a licensed cabbie here
since 1941. The Hacker Board
refused to renew his license
when it expired July 81. Mr..
Rifkin's record showed six traf-
f1c violations in the last year.
In letters to Commissioner
Renah F. Camalier. the legisla-
tor stated the offenses were of
a minor nature, that Mr.. Rifkin
has three children to support
and that his physician attested
he can do only light work.
-Four times in the past, the
driver was issued his hacker
license with warnings and on
two other occasions he appealed
successfully to the Commission
ers to let him keep his driving
privileges.
In two other cases, the city
heads overruled the Hacker
Board by ordering issuance of
licenses to John H. Coleman of
1893 Morris road Sc, and Abra-
ham L. Scott of 1888 Pitts place
Sc. The Commissioners de-
cidied the two drivers traffic
records were too slight to war;
rant withdrawal of their licenses.

Group 10 Overhaul
Defense Accounting
And Bookkeeping
By the Assoeiotsd Pres.

Secretary of Defense Wilson
has appointed group of bank
ers, businessmen and professors
to overhaul the military book
keeping and accounting systems.
The 12-member committee had
its first meeting yesterday at
the Pentagon under the chair
manship of Charles P. Cooper,
former vice president and di-
rector of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co.
Mr.. Wilson and members of
the group told newsmen that
although some military account
ing and fiscal reporting is good,
they hope to have a unified,
standardized system in all of the
services by next July.
Piecemeal Approach.
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Cooper
stressed there would be a piece
meal approach to the overall
problem" They explained that
this meant that recommends
tionS made by the committee
and approved by the Defense
Secretary would be put into prac-
tice as soon as possible and that
there would be no waiting for a
long report.
Mr.. Wilson said the Defense
Department and the military
services should be able to ac-
count to the people and to Con-
gresS for the money they spent
each year and be able to explain
accurately what they could do
with requests for more appro-
priations.
He explained that adoption of
a standardized accounting sys-
tenn throughout the services
would not alter the present
method of presenting annual
military budgets to Congress.
