Honesty Pays
Off For Cable
After Delay

NEW YORK Up - Honesty paid
off yesterday to the tune Of 81 800
for taxi driver Fritz Morris, who
had turned over to police a bag
of jewels he found in his cab.
The jewelry had been lost by
Mrs. Abraham Scheer, wife of a
Fifth Avenue glove firm executive
An insurance company represen-
tative set the value at $4,000.
So Morris got a 10 per cent re-
ward and Mrs. Scheer, in turning
over a check to the cabbie, said:
II am thrilled. It's a pleasure
to know there are honest people in
the world"
Exclaimed Morris:
''What / can do with that! / GER
tainly am grateful. ] guess honesty
is the best policy after all. It
certainly would be a better world
if everyone followed that phi
losophy.''

ROME - A polite civil war Is di-
viding the famous designers of
Italy, as Florence and Rome
struggle for fashion supremacy.
Recent previews Of fall and
winter styles revealed strong diff
ferences in the silhouettes shown
by individual designers. All dra-
matized the rich and beautiful
Italian fabrics, all emphasized the
elegance Of continental fashions.
The clothes shown brought APP
plause from critics and floods OF
orders from buyers.
But there was no longer cline"
something uniform to describe
all Italian fashions.
The ''line'' has been split be-
tween Florence and Rome, and
then splintered among individual
houses.
What caused this?
After the war, when Italian
dressmakers were beginning to
challenge France for the world
fashion lead, all showed their
creations at the Florence fashion
shows. Before the shows, they
reached an agreement on basic
lines.
Italian fashions were successful.
American dollars, English pounds,
and Swiss (and even French)
francs flowed in. They piled up
in such quantities that the fashion
houses forgot about unity in the
stern competition for profits.
The ambitious houses of Rome
broke away from Florence domin-
alton and opened their own show
ings under auspices of a REBEL
ious thigh fashion guild"
But even these houses can't
get together, not even when they're
in one family. Two houses, for
instance, are Simonetta and
Fabiani - run respectively by
wife and husband. They have
seperate salons and careers.
eve don't even talk over our
work at home" said Alberto
Fabiani ''Of course, we keep our
models secret from each other. It
would be bad business not tt"
Italian fashion houses do have
something in common, however:
the beauty Of Italian materials -
brocaded silks, woods, and mix
lures in strong, plain colors.
The Rome authorities seem to
be agreed in hemlines-- about Is
inches from the floor. Florence
doesn't agree, though - hemlines
are il inches there.
The torso, or back-lines, appear
similar, too: they're generally
long and fitted.
Afternoon and evening wear in
shoes is distinctly Italian. The
new shoes are al an exagger-

In direct contrast to these are
the cool-colored, precise paintings
of a newcomer to this group, Phi
lip Seru. Although his colorS are
true enough, his selection of Gar
rison Blight" with its green waters
and blue skies, gives the effect OF
GOODNESS, and the precise spacious
ness of the painting gives an effect
of design which is rather pleasing.
His painting of the ruins OF west
Martello Tower" done in the same
manner. retains the GOODNESS due
to the muted colors used in the
brickwork of the old fort.
Also cool to look at, and done
with an almost Photographic brush
are the paintings of Clipper ships
nv Roland Barker. Mr.. Barker has
returned to Key West, and to the
Kew West Artists Group, after an
extended visit to the North. He Is
a man well-qualified to paint the
Clippers, since he went to sea on
them at the age of IA years.
His youth and young manhood
were spent on these square-riggeo
iron and steel sailing vessels, ana
his last trip was made in 1928 on
the ssTusitala," the last Clipper to
run commercially under the U. 5.
Flag. 1t ran from N. Y. c. via
the Panama Canal to Honolulu car
rying sulphate of ammonia to the
islands. and returning with sugar.
The round trip took eight months.
The "Tusitala, which means
Teller of Tales and was the name
given to Robert Louis Stevenson
by the King of the Samoan Islands,
was retired in 1892.
In direct contrast to the photo
graphic technique of the Clipper
ships. are the ever popular pri-
mitiye paintings of Effie Fernan-
deg This artist, who started re-
cordinp the scenes other Georgian
childhood. has advanced to the 10
cal scene with no lessening OF the
charm of her work.
of special merit in this showing
are her paintings of Cigar Fac
tory" done in grays and blues
with a startling touch OF green Tor
emphasis, and her 'House on the
Corner" with its hambuoyant or
ange Poinciana tree.
Always a favorite is Lephe Hol-
den, painting the local scenes with
a touch of humor and . definite
feeling for the hot sun and deep
shadows of Key West.
To emphasize her love OF the
town, she plays no favorites In her
choice of scenes. Of equal impor-
lance to her are the crowded and
picturesque sections of colored-
town, the water front districts, and
the many churches and buildings OF
interest to be found here.
And. of course, no show by the
Key West Artists can be complete
without the paintings of Larry
Harms. His latest painting - COM
pleted in time for this show, is
most most timely pice called "Hur-
ricane Warning.
The somber colors and sense Of
frantic movement, combined with
the auStere furnishings of old Gu
ban chairs and lantern light have
an erie quality of impending ca
tastrophe.
Notable of this show is the fact
that it is strictly oil paintings.
However, the delightful water CO.

large part Of the Key West scene

Court Sustains Board
In Affidavit Probe

The U. s. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia to-
day upheld the right of the
National Labor Relations Board
to investigate whether a union
official lied when he filed an
affidavit that he was not a
Communist.
The Official is Maurice Travis,
secretary-treasurer of the Inter-
national Union Of Mine, Mill
and Smelter Workers. The
union was ousted by the CIO in
1919 on charges it followed the
Communist Party line. After
Mr.. Travis filed his affidavit
with the NLRB the board decided
to investigate.
The union asked the U. s.
District Court for the District Of
Columbia to prevent the inveSti-
CATION on the ground that the
probe would irreparably injure
the union in pending bargaining
elections. The District Court
threw out the unions complaint
and an appeal followed.
Today. in upholding the lower
courts ruling, the appeals court
pointed out, in citing the irrepa-
rable injury contention, that the
union actually received a large
majority Of votes cast In an inn
portant election involving en-
ployes of the Anaconda Copper
Mining Co. and the union has
been certified as bargaining
agent by the board.
