However, Welsh warned that
attacking planes will get "a diff

cidents of this kind"
Feith told newsmen that he ra-
diced for help and learned later
that US. fighters were in the area
within moments-even before all
of the parachutes hit the ground.
In Tokyo, Gen. John E. Hull,
us. Far East commander, said the
direction of the crippled planes
fall completely negates" any pos
sible Soviet claim that the plane
was over Russian territory. He
accused the Russians of "pirati-
cal" attack.
Feith, 35, of Chester, Pa, said:
II was approximately 9 miles
off Hokkaido and was never clos
err than Is miles to- the area the
Russians consider their own"
"When fired upon we we're even
further away (from Russian terri
tory. We were headed toward
land" Feith told newsmen.
The attack came, he said, just
as his plane had finished the first
of three scheduled photo runs over
northern Hokkaido, Japan's north
ernmost island. His plane, he
added, was at about $1,000 feet
and just off the Hokkaido coast,
southwest of the easternmost tip
of the Nemuro Isthmus. This
would put the plane well to the
south and west of the japanese
side of the narrow strait of water
that separates Hokkaido from the
| Soviet-held islands.
Asked if the Russian planes al
any time intruded inside the
three-mile limit marking Japan
csc waters, Feith said: eyes,

Says

NEW YORK R - 'sThere isn't
any real luxury left in the world
today" says Charles James, who
designs dresses that sell for $1,000
up.
Luxury is nonexistent. We live
in a period that is little better
than q git-edged communism.
That is what makes il dangerous
- the fact there is plenty of money
here, but it reflects the average
taste, not the peak taste"
James, a designer who has twice
won the national critics award,
numbers among his clientele some
of the best dressed ladies of roy atty
and international society, including
the former Queen of Spain, Mrs,
Harrison Williams, Mrs. c. v.
Whitney and Lily PonS.
An intense, slender man of as,
he feels the American fashion
industry lacks prestige because il
spends too much money trying to
please people of average taste,
THAT makes the average person
the leader in STYLE" he said. This
is ridiculous. The middle group
destroys taste. II doesn't create H.
Most great changes in taste
have come from extravagant peo-
pie with powerful original person
alities.
"Mllicient Rogers is the last
person who had any real influence
on American taste"
Thirty gowns and coats James
designed for the late oil heIress
have become part of the perman.
ent collection of the Brooklyn
Museum.
An open admirer Of the aristo-
cratic tradition when il comes 70
matters Of style, James feels il
takes up TO 20 years for peak
taste in new fashions to dribble
down to the masses, and that's
quite all right with him.

How deep does the seeming Dem
ocratic trend 60? Does it carry
enough momentum to crack
through Eisenhower's admitted
personal popularity?
Election Of 8 US. senators and
AZ representatives, as well as state
officers in = se of the states,
hinges closely on the answer.
Washington, with no race for the
Senate or Governor, will choose 7
representatives, California, 80;
Oregon, 46 and Neveda, /.
The COP, making a stand on
the Eisenhower line. hopes to re-
tain the three Republican senator's,
one of them now a temporary APP
pointee, and maybe better its 30-12
share Of the House members from
the four states.
Republicans declare they expect
to throw back serious challenges
against Sen. Guy Gordon (R.Orel
and Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R-
Calif), who succeeded vice presi-
dent Nixon in the Senate.
In Nevada, though, prospects ap-
pear to favor former State Atty.
Gen. Alan Bible to defeat Repub-
lican Sen. Ernest S. Brown, named
by the Republican governor to
serve until next January. The two
Reno lawyers plunged into an alb
breviated campaign after the State
Supreme Court ruled there must

They contend the people are disen-
changed with the COP record and
show more than the normal off
year reaction against the party
in power.
The COP message, as exempli-
fled by Secretary Of the Interior
McKay's political tour, is that the
powr- partnership plan will help
suild new hydroelectric works;
that the agricultural market is
stable; that administration policies
are good for the West.
Other points of conflict, confined
to state matters, are far from be-
ing overlooked. In California, for
instance, proposed state liquor con-
troll and demands to "do some
thing" about the smog plaguing
Los Angeles are major issues. A
gambling expose has created a po-
litical furor in Nevada.

political scene In the four states:

cratic Rep. -at-large Don Magnuson

In the 1st District, including
Seattle, the battle between Repub-
lican Rep. Thomas M. Pelly and
former Democratic Rep. Hugh b.
