Make no mistake about how
Charlie James feels about fash
lon. He loves it. No man could
dedicate himself to 1t. as he
has without great affection. At
the same time James has q lot
to say about the American
clothing industry. No two
periods in history will ever
produce women Of the same
shape. And to make clothes
for the shape women are in
(their posture today is q
slump) is nonsense, he feels.
A Fashion Engineer
So Charlie wants to be
known now as an engineer OF
the public female shape.
He says he's always lost
money in custom design work.
Now instead of letting someone
else reap the dividends of his
talent he is going, as he puts
it, to accept responsibility for
shipping his own reproductions
to the public" in a mass pro-
duced venture. He'll also con-
tinue his custom work.
This is his answer since he
Is tired of interpretations Of
his designs that bore no re-
semhlance frequently to the
original. At this stage of his
designing career, the Chicago
born James, wants to engineer
the public feminine shape in a
! ballgown, or a dress rather
than have it said he designed
it. SHAPED BY CHARLES
JAMES is to be his new slogan.
II am not selling bows or neck
lines, this look or that look.
I'm selling SHAPE.

ment industry Che was with

doing for me-" says Charlie.
They forced me to put my
concept into a blueprint form, :"
he continued. In doing that he
discovered working with the
production man in the mass
produced market was a thou
sand times more creative than
what generally passes for de-
signing.

Academy Critic
AT vFWFete

The controversy over the pro.
posed design of the new multi.
million dollar Air Force Academy
at Colorado Springs. Colo, will
be aired before a congressional
committee in the next two OF
three weeks, it was revealed lasl
night.
The disclosure was made by
Merton B. Tice. national COM
mander of the Veterans of For
eign Wars and severe critic OF
the present architectural plans
for the academy.
Mr.. Tice. speaking before a
banquet in Alexandria of the
Virginia department of the VFW
said the veterans organization
has been invited to appear be-
fore the House Appropriations
Committee to express its views
when the academy matter comes
up. Money for the new academy
is contained in the military con-
struction bill now pending be-
fore Congress.
At the same time. Mr.. Tice
told the George Mason Hotel
gathering that an important
Government official" had assured
him that Air Force Secretary
Talbot was having the entire
architectural matter restudied.
A week ago, Mr.. Tice made a
public blast against the academy
design and said it was an insult
to American tradition" Last
night, he renewed his criticisms
and called the proposed designs
a "f1imsy, supermarket concep-
tion."
In revealing the upcoming
congressional hearings, Mr.. Tice
last night urged the House COM
mittee also to invite members of
the Presidents Fine Arts Com

have proved their skill in
designing Americas monuments
