This year western checkers

had forgotten that the Ken

three weeks time, this is a sure

Most observers Of the 1855
3-year-old picture are stringing
along with William Woodward,
jr.'s Nashua but are playing a
waiting game with their final
pick until late next Saturday
after the Wood Memorial at
Jamaica and Laurel's Chesa-

We are in the same position

visit at Bowie before ship

told us that he did not see any,

Santa Anita Derby.
Next Saturday Nashua and
Summer Tan are expected to
meet head on and the chances
are the Woodward colt might be
a point or two higher in the odds

He was not asked for this in

fact that Boston Doge had ira

that there were eight stops be-

The latest controversy between

At short meetings, particularly
these SO called stars pile up and
at times q horse may 60 through
an entire meet, only to lose all
preference when the next session
opens. The horsemen asked that
these stars be carried over at the
Maryland tracks. The Racing
Association could not see the
point and for a time a real stale
mate was threatened.

International
FashiOns
Spotlighted

The fashions from foreign
lands are always fascinating
to see. And when native folk
costumes find their counter
parts in adaptations on the
local fashion scene they show
what an important part folk
art plays in inspiring fashion
designers throughout the world.
Yesterdays Intern ational
Fashion Festival at Lisner Au-
ditorium was a departure from
the usual luncheon-fashion
show presentations Washing
ton has been deluged with for
years. The showing staged
by Woodward & Lothrop was
a benefit for hospital research
and equipment. It was put on
by the Women's Board of the
George Washington Univer-
SHY dL I.oU PIN.
Country Representatives
Countries spotlighted in the
show included Great Britain,
represented by Caroline Ma
kins, the daughter of the Am
bassador and Lady Makins:
Korea by Shiela Yang, daugh-
ter of the Korean Ambassa-
dor and Nine. Yang: Brazil by
F1orita Belle; Spain by Paloma
Rey; Italy by Liliana Rossi;
Germany by Matilda Haugg:
Indonesia by Ammy Pesik;
Lebanon by Julliette Shedyak:
Finland by Arrno Karhilo; and
Mexico by Georgiana Alarcon.
Present in the distinguished
audience of women we're Mrs.
John Foster Dulles, wife of the
Secretary of State; the wives
of the Ambassadors of Egypt,
Lebanon, Korea. Mexico, and
1ndonesia. They were intro.
duced by Bryson Rash, ABC's
White House correspondent.
The Show Itself
Summer clothes dominated
the colorful fashion show.
From swim suits to evening
dresses a strong trend emerged
that of brilliant color.
Posed against a mural
worked out on a looseleaf page
principle. the models took
turns posing against the ro-
mantle backgrounds of the
countries represented in the
international Fashion Festival.
But for wear right here in
Washington, D. c. or abroad,
the styles shown received en-
thusiastic approval by the
women present.
These fashions included eve
ming styles ranging from baby
doll like white embroidered
organizes to a sleek black
linen full-length sheath rem
dered even more dramatic by
an insert panel of black satin.

stole.
Mrs. Dorothy Belts Marvin,

Women's Board welcomed the
women to the showing and
also awarded the door prizes.

Western Electric 10 Build
Far North Radar System
BY the Asseeiaied Press

The Air Force yesterday desig-
mated the Western Electric Co..
Inc. as prime contractor for the
DEW line" a radar warning
system to be constructed from
Alaska across the upper part of
Canada.
The project was dubbed DEW
Line" from the initials of its
more formal title, District Early
Warning System.
The Canadian and United
States Governments announced
last November that both coun-
tries would participate in the
DEW project but that response
bility for the construction would
be vested in the United States.
When completed, the DEW
Line and United States listening
posts in, Greenland will be able
to pick up aircraft approaching
the North American continent
across the Arctic-the short
route from the U. S. S. r.
