wave Of oriental grandeur and

His prediction: Clothes next
winter will be, more luxurious
and brightly colored than they
have been in nearly so years,
due to the treasure-trove of
Indian silks, English and
French artisan-woolens Ital-
ian, Swiss, and Frence hand

cries.
There's no danger American
women will go color mad and
on a rampage of over dressing.

taste has become the rule, not
the exception today"

New York recently. Parking
her bicycle outside a window
full of fancy evening slippers,
a shorts-clad young woman
went into the shoe store and
tried on dozens Of pairs Of the
most elaborate sandals in the
place. AS each pair was fitted,
she would leap up and do a
mambo in front of the mirror.
She realized she was stopping

dancer and had to be fully
convinced her slippers would
stay on while she did the in

Not All Dogs Live in Mongers

A friend telephoned the
other night to break q dinner
engagement.
"We've Just heard that the
land south and east Of US has
been sold to developers" she
said exasperatedly. They are
going to put up lots Of nasty
little houses on half acres.
And they plan to extend our
dead-end road, too. So we're
getting together tonight to
start a petition to make the
town re-zone the land to full
acre development. It's our
only chance!"
"Hey. don't you live in q
development now?" I asked,
surprised and probably tact
less. And isn't your own
property considerably less
than half an acre2"
That's just it." she admit
ted mournfully. I'VE haven't
a leg to stand on. Our little
development houses ARE built
on quarter-acres-but we
don't want any more to be-"
I couldn't help feeling that
this was just a bit too incon-
sistent. you've certainly
changed your mind" I accused.
Don't you remember only
last week you and rwere COM
menting approvingly on recent
statistics showing that now,
in our country, more people
own homes than rent? You
were quite touching about our
nations progress in happy
living"
"Oh yes." she agreed. THE
oretically I'm for progress
but not on my own dorstep."
Which ! guess Just about
expresses the general human
attitude. Merchants of one
broad New York City shopping
avenue are right now fighting
desperately to keep theirs a
two-way street. in spite of the
fact that they, with the rest
of us, are concerned about
easement Of the big city traf-
flc problem.
The belligerent merchants
are all for one-way traffic-on
OTHER streets. So have been
the store owners on parallel
thoroughfares many Of which,
in spite Of protests. have been
changed.
In another burgeoning sub
urban community near New
York, q super market is the
symbol of progress that is un-
der attack. A corporation
wants to build a multi-million
dollar structure. The town is
split, businessmen can't agree.
Owners of small food stores
are fighting because they are
afraid the giant will ruin
their trade: non-competitive
stores favor the enterprise be-
cause they think 1t will in
crease their business. Some
home owners believe it will
hurt their property values;
others are for it because they
hope 1t will make their prop
erty attractive for commercial
sites.
Some self interested citizens
even deplore building better
and larger schools. But they
try to camout1age their mo-
tives. Of course.
If they do build more little
houses" sighed my friend
who at least is honest, "it will
mean more children and that
will mean more schools and
higher taxes. The truth is. I

To Mrs. c. H., Falls Church:
After all the help I have re-

answer a request. Three years
ago we bought our two boys
bunk beds to give them more
room. Bunk-beds did give more
room. but the top bed is very
uncomfortable in the summer
as the heat rises. 1t is best to
separate them in the warm
months. One Of our beds has
the mattress and box spring
from a single bed we sold, and
we bought the built-in type
mattress and spring together.
The built-in one is very un-
comfortable to sleep on and
there is no way to tuck in the
sheets. They hang down and
look terrible. I finally had to
buy cot sheets and they don't
stay in place well. By all means
buy the separate mattress and
spring.

By RUTH DEAN

A traditional honor bestowed
by the Army Nurse Corps on
its outgoing chief is the hang
ing Of her portrait in Walter
Reed Medical Center's Delano
Hall.
For Col. Ruby F. Bryant, who
steps down October l as the
seventh nurse to hold the post,
the unveiling of her portrait in
Q ceremony in Delano Hall
yesterday, held q special thrill.
Contributions made by Army
Nurse Corps officers from all
over the world enabled the
Corps to commission New
York artist Thomas E. Steph-
ems to paint Col. Bryant's por-
trait.
English Artist
It was the first portrait OF
q woman in the military service
painted by the English-born
Mr.. Stephens. who has exec
uted portraits of the Army's
five-star generals from Mac
Arthur to Eisenhower.
So Col. Bryant understand
ably felt a little extra proud
yesterday.
Interviewed q few days ago
in her office as she made
preparations for her new as
signment as chief Of the Nurs-
ing Service for U. S. Forces
in Europe, Col. Bryant said
that sittings necessitated her
making four trips to New York
but that she found them
"quite pleasant-not as tiring
as I'd expected"
She said she thought the
portrait was "a good likeness.
Col. Bryant. who speaks
with q soft. pleasant Tide
water drawl. is excited about
her new assignment. Shes
been to Europe twice on in
spection trips during her sta
tutory four-year term Of Of
fice. but she's never been sta
toned there.
On CorregidOr
She's flown across the Pa
cific several times during her
21-year career and during
World War II served in the
Pacific theater. She played q
key role in setting up and
equipping the now famous Me-
linta Tunnel Hospital on Cor
regidor.
Col. Bryant says her duties
will not be much different
from what she has been doing.
They'll Just encompass a
smaller area than the global
assignment she's just COM
pleted. Her inspection duties
took her not only to Europe
but to the Far East twice and
to South America once-"over
so per cent travel time. so my
Office tells me-" she added with
q smile.
Col. Bryant expects to leave
for Europe around October 4.
and hasn't yet made up her
mind whether she's taking .
plane or ship.
In addition to inspecting
u s. Army hospitals IN Ger
many and France. she said
she'll be interested in Regular
Army procurement Of nurses
from the Reserve ranks who
are stationed in Europe.
60Te Reserves
As the Corps now stands,
there are--about so per cent
nurses with reserve rank, she
said. She's looking to the
younger group to fill vacancies
in the regulars. she empha-
sized.
The Army Nurse Corps is
faced with the same recruit
ment problem with which the
other services and civilian hos
pitals are faced. she said, but
it is definitely not because Of
q nursing shortage. Rather it
is because there are more op-
portunities for nursing which
thus narrows the hospital
nursing field, Col. Bryant
pointed out.

 The overall tenor of the ar- ticles is best summed up in the magazines predatory no e which describes Alaska as "An Arctic and sub-Arctic region, underpopulated and underde- veloped.''
 'fMuch of it's indus rial enter prise is absentee owned and it's stable unionism operated from ghe states. Government workers constitute large frac ton of the work force. Wages and prices are high, and there IS considerable seasonal impor- tation of workers, especially in the construction field"
 Rogers backs up his forecast of possible greaI.er stability for Alaskan employment by cit ing a recent prediction by the bureau of employment secur- ity that 'fby 1862, although av- craze employment in construc- 'tion will drop by about 4,4O0 from 1854 levels, the antici- ipated establishment of six new forest products facilities in southeastern Alaska will generate almost 9,200 new jobs"
 This forecast envisions an increase in employment in for est products mills of about 1,- 100; in logging, of 2,030; and in various supporting indus tries by 6,030.

TAIPEI (P) A heavy Chinese Red shelling of Quemoy and six days of air raid alarms in the Mla,sus today underscored mounting tension in Formosa strait.
 The defense ministry said Red artillery this morning sent 800 shells crashing on Quemoy and Little Quemoy across the strait from Formosa.
 The ministry asserted that answering tire silenced the Red batteries in the port of Annoy and the nearby island of Ia teng. It said Red shells destroy ed 38 homes and wounded 3 ci- williams.
 The ministry said the she'll ing of Quemoy was the second in two days, the Reds having fired 172 shells at the island Tuesday.
 Official reports said the Ma tionalis.s strengthened their air and naval parols in the Mat sus, 100 miles northwest of Formosa because of rising dan ger of Red invasion.
