One of Rone's top models
is about to become q Washing
ton favorite.
Schema" 27-year-old fav-
orite manaequin Of leading
Italian designers. has moved to
Washington with her Arneri-
can Air Force major husband,
Michael Cappiello. They were
married ten months ago In
Rome.
The attractive brunette
whose name stems from the
fact that she was born in
Indo-C China where her father
was with the French Colonial
Army, hasn't had too much
time to discover great differ
ences in American modelling
techniques as opposed to Euro
pean ones. She has also
modelled in Paris for Dior,
Faith, and Rochas.
The Pretty Foce
One thing has impressed her
the fact that in America the
great stress Is on the model
with the very pretty face. In
Europe the different look" Of
a model. her personal sense Of
chic and drama. count for
much more.
Life among American mod
els also fascinates her. She's
done several shows here in
Washington and finds that
there is much less jealousy
(probably because there may
be more work available) and
the girls really seem to like
each other. I'm Europe mod
els don't even talk to each
other outside the salon. don't
bother to see other designers
collections or mannequins do
ing q show" says Schema.
The models she has met in
Washington have been won-
derful about sharing their
modelling secrets she finds.
"You are on your own from
the very first day in Rome or
Paris" she adds.
Poris- Rome Shuttle
Roman models she has found
are better paid than Partisan
ones. But American models
are the ones who hit the IA
shion salary jackpot. Since
Italy's rise to fame and ia
shion fortune. many French
models have been flying into
Rome to do special modelling
jobs to supplement their sal
aries.
Schema" classifies herself
now as a "volante" which
means flying" and in English
would mean "freelance." When
she was modelling for Fabiani
she had a more permanent
status. Most mannequins in 4
Europe are attached to specific
couture houses. There they
become well-known, as in the
case of Ala, Dior's Eurasian
model, and the late Praline of
Balmain's salon. who was killed
in a car crash several years |
ago. An influx of Foreigners"
including many American girls
visiting Europe, may change
the old system a bit as most
of them prefer to work for
many rather than just for one
designer. Average pay for a
French mannequin can be be-
tween $40 to 500 a month.
When you compare that with
the top New York ''freelance
models $100 for one picture
alone, you can see the differ
ence.
Cola First Nights
The perpetual smile that
American models seem to have
on their faces when they
show a dress is something
you don't too often see in
Rome or Paris. A great many
European models show their
moods a lot more effectively
than just with a smile. For
every showing, "Scheena"
says, there should be gala

Eisenhower Meets

On IndOchina War

WASHINGTON, R-President
Eisenhower met with his top
strategy advisers for an hour and
a half in an unusual Saturday
session and presumably a major
topic was discussed what the
United States should do about the
Indochina crisis.
Those who were called by the
White House, members of the Ma
tional Security Council, left by
back doors and the Presidents
Office made no announcement of
what decisions, if any, had been
reached.
Secretary Of State Dulles laid
down basic points Of the Admins
tration's attitude Friday night; it
is considering defense commit
ments which might involve the
use Of armed force" but under
present conditions" the United
States has no intention of sending
fighting men to Indochina.
Those attending the White House
conference included Vice Presi-
dent Nixon; Secretary of State
Dulles, Secretary Of Defense Will
son; Admiral Arthur w. Radford,
chairman Of the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff; Allen w. Dulles, director
Of the Central Intelligence Agen-
cy; William NJ. Rand, acting dir
ector Of the Foreign Operations
Administration; and Arthur S.
Fleming, Defense Mobilization
director.
Dulles spoke in a nationwide
broadcast Friday night a few
hours after news of the fall of
Diem Bien Phu reached Washing

WHAT A DIFFERENCE

Some people may wonder why a certain amount
Of government financial aid to American merchant
shipping is needed if flag is to remain the high
seas.
One set Of figures should be sufficient to provide
the answer study made Of the difference in
wage costs between leading maritime nations, using
a CO cargo ship typical example. It was found
that wages 81, 100 month a Japanese vessel;
$500 on a German Norwegian; $4,000 on British;
and on up to $4,000 a Dutch ship By contrast the
figure was $24 800 month for an Amercan-flag ship
three to six times that of principal competitors
The situation is comparable in the case Of other
costs involved both in building and operating merchant
vessels.

ing the worlds essential trade routes These payments
have worked out to about Is cents per year for each
person employed in this country. That's certainly
small price to pay for the survival of service that is
vital in both peace and war.

General Navarro Says Indochina
War Must be Internationalized
IL Geneva Conference Should Fail

SAIGON, 1nQOcn1na, R0Gen.
Henri Navarro, commander of
French Union forces in Indochina,
said the battle against the Com
munists would continue despite
the fall of Diem Bien Phu. He said
that if the Geneva Conference
fails, it will be necessary to in
ternationalize the war in Indo-
china He said he would welcome
any outside help, but warned that
this might cause the Communists
to intervene.
Speaking Of the fall Of Diem
Bien Phu, Navarro said it was
possible that the Communicated
Vietminh will move with his
heavy artillery into the Tonkin
Delta after a 15-day rest period.
He said the battle of Diem Bien
Phu, with its heavy artillery, has
turned the Indochina War into an
other kind of conflict.
Navarro said that this new kind
of warfare has made the interna-
tionalization Of the war a POSSIBLE
ity if Geneva fails because France
would be unable to bear the full
brunt of the burden.
He said that Diem Bien Phu fell
because when Diem Bien Phu was
occupied it was to fight one kind
Of war. Three months later, be
cause Of the Geneva Conference
and the increased aid lent by Red
China, the Vietminh were fighting
another kind of war.
He said French observation
planes Saturday afternoon sighted
columns of men moving north
ward from the fallen northwest
Indochina fortress and he pre-
sumed these were prisoners.
Planes flying low over the stilled
battlefield dropped enough food
and medical supplies to care for
the 1,4O0 seriously wounded sol
diers Of the garrison.
The general, speaking informal
ly to neWsmen, said he believed
the Vietminh's losses were about
$4,000 men.
The strength of the garrison Of
Diem Bien Phu when it fell, he
said, was between 5000 and 5000
men.
In ringing order of the day
read to the 100000 troops under
his command, Navarro said terse-
ly 'the fight continues"
Wispy-moustached Ho Chi Mimi,
longtime Asiatic revolutionary
turned Communist, has, with the
fall of Diem Bien Phu, achieved
his objective: a political victory
on the day that the great powers
were to begin talks at Geneva
aimed at ending the exhausing
Indochina War.

and Vietnamese garrisons under
his command, Navarro said:

COMPETITION GETS KEENER

The Port Umpqua Courier Of Reedsport, Oregon,
recently had something significant to say about mer
chandsing and craftsmanship.
It Observed "The times are just slipping into
history when all a merchant had to do get hold Of
the merchandise and the customers would fight over
who would get it Competition is getting keener
all the time The merchants and the statesmen who
their livelihood in the little towns will have to
get on the ball to hold their friends and neghbOrs.
They will have to give the same SERVICE the same
bargains and do the job of selling their big
city cousins. Salesmanship is good thing for all
of US"
This view Of a small-town newspaper editor, Incl
denally is pretty accurate reflection Of what leaders
n the merchandising business have been saying lately
at industry conventions and elsewhere In both chain
and independent store groups the consensus is that
there must be better selling-a term that includes
both the human salesman and such inducements as

''DON'T FUSS ABOUT the price but
bargain for good weighing condition"
was a bit of sage advice offered to
a young cattle rancher by his old-timer
neighbor.
1t might be worthwhile to figure out
Just what he was talking about. When
it comes to selling your livestock you
always are vitality interested in the
price per hundred offered but the net
returns are what determines how much
money you have in your pocket. Price
times the pounds sold, minus expenses,
is what gives net returns.
Maybe you can't do much about the
price if you sell at an established mar
ket place but you can attempt to have
your animals in the best weighing con-
dition, that is, have good but not eX-
cessive fill. Some will tell you that it
doesn't matter about the fill because
the price will be adjusted in accordance
with the fill. This may be true to
great extent, yet most buyers do not
like to buy animals that are over or
under filled. AS result, they will dis
count the price too heavily on over
filled animals and will not pay up on
those showing excessive Shrinkage.
Bargaining Points
If you sell on the ranch direct to
buyers then you have a twO-point bar
gaining situation. You bargain for a
price and for shrinkage-weighing condi-
ton. Sometimes the culling out of i'll
ferior grade animals is third bargain
ing point. Have you ever figured out
Just how much increase in price you
should receive for an increase in shrink
of say per cent? Maybe you are SC
concerned about getting the top dollar
in price that you forget about the i'm
portance of the number of pounds you
will be paid for.
The most generally accepted practice
for on-farm buying of cattle is to re

When Selling CattIe
Bargain on Shrink
AS Well as Price
By Give r. HARSTON

quire an overnight dry-lot stand or a
per cent pencil shrink from full
weight Table was prepared by start
ing with the A per cent shrink and Sc
lected prices such as $22, $40, or
$18 per cwt If you have the alternative
of selling under variety of conditions,
each with a different shrink incurred,
then a table of price adjustments would
be useful in bargaining You would net
the same returns if you sold for $500
per cwt with no shrink as you would
if you sold for $40 with a per cent
shrink or $2O.42 with 6 percent shrink.
The change in price necessary to off
set change in shrinkage does not seem
too important for low priced animals.
Nevertheless it is as great percentage
of total value as for high priced stock.
Accepted Customs
A number of different accepted Gus
toms in regard to how much shrink a
buyer is entitled can be observed
throughout the producing areas. Some
sell OF the farm with an agreed ''pen-
cil'' shrink such as 2, or 4, while
others prefer to weigh out in the morn
ing after an overnight, dry-lot stand
with no pencil shrink.
When stock must be moved to loca-
ton where scales are available, buy
ers and sellers each makes estimates
of the shrink that occurs and bargain
accordingly. The one who can guess
the shrink the closest and figure out
the price adjustment that should ac-
company the shrink is in the stronger
bargaining position.
Where Do You Sell?
Montana livestock producers are for
tunate to have access to several market
ing outlets. The principal ones used in
cludes central markets such as South
st. Paul, Chicago, Denver, Omaha, Og
den, Billings, Spokane and others; the
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-11-01

II auction markets in the state: and
direct sales at the farm gate to buyers
such as dealers, order buyers, feeders,
packer buyers, or neighbors. The diff
cult task of determining how much to
sell to net the most returns is faced by
each producer.
The next time you have some live
stock for sale why not sit down and
estimate your net returns from differ
ent markets. That is, set up budget
of costs and receipts for each method
of selling and determine which will pay
the best Of course you can't guess the
price accurately but you can estimate
how much more or less you must re-
ceive at the market to balance what
you have been offered at the ranch.
Difficult to Estimate
Shrinkage is the cost must difficult to
estimate when animals are moved very
far or held in strange surroundings. But
there are different ways to handle stock
after they arrive at the market that
might influence weighing conditions
One shipper claims he gets about per
cent shrink whether he sells his stock
at the local auction or in Chicago. 1t is
important to note, however, that his
Chicago shipments were allowed "a to
48 hours in the yards with good feed
and water. The animals were hungry
and took on a good fill They reduced
the Off-car shrink of 10 per cent to a
sale shrink of per cent.
On the other hand, the cattle sold at
auction were trucked in over a rough
road, held in strange pen for a few
hours and sold before they were hum
cry or thirsty enough to take on a fill
1t is generally known that cattle shrink
the most during the first few miles of
movement. Experiments have shown
that about As per cent of the shrink &C.
curing in a 200-mile haul is suffered
in the first Is miles.
Frequently the buyer will agree to
pay the going market price for stock in
the country, but before they get the
animals rounded up, culls cut out
trucked to the nearest scales, and run
over the scales a shrink might be in
Cured that would have considerable
effect on net returns.

to yield the same net returns under
