Why Grow OId2
By Josephine Lowmon

Butterflies seem to have mixed
in spring fashion this year. What
could be more appropriate?
Albert Sofia, Of the Albert
Sofia Wayne Forrest Salon. and
one of New York's well-known
hair stylists, has created a but
terfly couture. Mr.. Sofia. imbued
not only with the spirit of spring
but with the conviction that
women are tired Of the Italian
haircut and are ready for a
change, is giving it to them.
This hairdo is swept up, with
q new wide side look, and is quite
elegant. Along with Mr.. Johns
small butterfly hat. the effect is
quite alluring and springlike.
Mr.. Sofia believes that women
want short hair that does not
look short. He explained how
this can be achieved. He said,
ANY woman can learn to do
this. I underbrush for filling and
body and then brush the top
most hair over it so that you have
the illusion of more hair"
Along with ideas for spring
hats and hairdos, let me bring
you one of another sort. No
matter how good your style. the
success of hair beauty lies in hair
health. Many factors enter into
this.
First. a vital diet. Your hair is
q living part of your body and its

Miss Adkins said she had
brought to the attention of Ger

backed by several large. national
organizations, that a woman be

ministrative staff.
"They agreed with the prin-
ciple." she reported, but / think

Commenting on the same pro-
posal; Mrs. Louchheim declared:

charm depends on the foods you
eat and your general health as
well as on any other care you
give it.
Stimulation and cleanliness are
also essentials for shining tresses.
Before you have your next per-
manent you would be wise to give
your scalp some extra stimula-
ton with brushing and scalp
massage.
Many women who usually
brush their hair do not do so
after having a new permanent.
They fear they will brush the
curl out. The contrary is true!
Brushing deepens the wave and
aids the scalp which is the source
of lovely hair.

Mrs. Louchheim agreed that

Charges growing out OF the
controversy between Senator Nc
Carthy and the Army should be
investigated by an impartial
group. in the opinion Of Miss
Bertha Adkins. assistant to the
chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
Miss Adkins told the Women's
National Press Club yesterday
she thought the charges Ger
taAnly" should be investigated.
But she added that she didn't
think Senator McCarthy's COM
mittee should be the one to
handle it. When there are con-
troversies affecting one group
she explained, she believed 1t
was better for an investigation
to be handled by an impartial
group.
The Republican WON e ms
leader spoke in answer to ques-
tions yesterday at a club lunch
con at which she shared the
program with Mrs. Katie Louch-
helm. director Of women's ac-
tivities of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee
Neither speaker mentioned the
controversial Wisconsin Senator
in her prepared address.
However. as the question and
answer period opened, each was
asked to state the. position of
her party on "McCarthyism."
Miss Adkins asked the ques-
toner to define the term and
was told the latter thought it
implied, in part. branding your
fellowman."
Miss Adkins then replied that
she doesn't think any one be-
lieves in branding your fellow
man.
AS for the Republican Party,
she added, "its leader is Presi-
dent Eisenhower
In her turn, Mrs. Louchheim
referred to Adlai E. Stevenson's
speech of March 6. declaring
1.-THE leader of our party spoke
| for us" She added that, while
there may be differences over
timing and method. there's no
division in our party in its stand
on McCarthyism."
Miss Adkins also told the
| press women reports that Sena-
| tor Mccarthy was sent out by
| the Republican National Com
mittee as the Republican spokes-
man at Lincoln Day dinners,
were based on a miSapprehen-
sion.
The committee never initiates
! the speaking program for any
I individual, she declared. When
requests are received for specific
speakers, she continued, the
committee relays them to those
I speakers. However, she SAID, the
expenses involved are paid by
the local groups.
| Senator Mccarthy, she said
receives more requests as q
speaker than any other indi-
vidual. But the national COM
mittee has not promoted any
one" she stated.
Asked what she thought wom-
en- would consider the top issues
in this years congressional cam
paign. Miss Adkins declared :
when it comes to issues !
think women are like anybody
else. However. as far as ! can
tell. I think the issues will be

stated, on the record we make
