If you secretly have a little Of
the daring" hidden in you, this
is the year to uncork it in ski
apparel.
Don't be afraid to be colorful
on the ski slopes colorful as you
never have been before. You'll
not be alone. Never before in ski
history has there been such a
revolutionary trend toward high
fashion, heightened by gay
colors. variety of design and
well-cut, trim lines.
The Bogners of Munich, Ger
many. outstanding ski-wear
manufacturers and often called
the Diors of ski fashion, travelled
to Sun Valley last spring to give
ski enthusiasts an exclusive peek
into their 1855 styles and get
their approval before putting
them on the market.
Distinctly Unusual
The European styles make use
of fabrics and colors so unusual
by comparison to former years
that they are revolutionizing the
world Of ski apparel.
Sun Valleys general store has
followed this European lead with
such unusual colors as pink
shrimp, turquoise, charcoal and
tangerine for poplin parkas.
These parkas, which show
tailoring to its best advantage
ARE beautifully designed with un.
usual scroll patterns. insets Of
contrasting color combinations
and even polka dots!
Another point in favor Of the
poplin parka is the number Of
unusual features that can be In
cluded In its design. Ribbed wool
collars can be tipped up to turtle

One Of the comic clubs alone

the fancy dress capes will be as

Anywhere from a dozen to two

While many strict rules have
been handed down during the
Sc years from father to son,
probably the most stringently
enforced is the prohibition of fe-
males Of all ages from the line

Shooter" Mummers
The word Shooters" which is
commonly used to describe the
marchers. comes from q band
of mummers whose annual rou-
tine included shooting away the
old year" when midnight ar
rived ON New Years eve. Mum
mers is derived from King Mo-
mus. patron of cavorting MINI
ickers.
1t all dates back to the Civil
War days when Philly families
gathered on New Years eve to
celebrate with rounds of parties.
Then a group Of South
Philadelphia families turned
these parties into masquerade
affairs and marched through the
streets in fantastic costumes.
Eventually, the families formed
groups, and the 'Mummers"
parade was born.

The chairman of the Federal
Reserve Board said today he was
opposed to putting stock mar
ket trading on an all-cash basis.
but he refused to say whether
the board was considering any
new curbs on market activity.
William McChesney Martin,
jr., told the Senate Banking
Committee that revising stock
margin requirements by requir-
ing 100 per cent cash as a means
of halting speculation would
simply divert credit to other
fields of speculative activity.
He said that credit for buy
ing stocks was part of the gen.
eral pool of business credit and
that the way to handle the prob
lem was to exert milder re-
straints on credit generally.
Mr.. Martin fatty refused to
tell Senators investigating the
market whether he thought
stock prices at the present time
were too high.
He pointed out that as Fed
eral Reserve chairman, he was
in the position to do something
about speculation" and that any
expression from him as to price
levels would tend to tip the
boards hand and might we'll
cause adverse repercussions in
the economy.

say whether the board was con-
sidering raising margin require
ments to rs per cent from the
present 60.
The board in early January
raised the margin requirements
10 per cent. Mr.. Martin described
the action as more than a tap
on-the-wrist warning" that spec
ulation was being carefully
watched by the board with a
view to taking further steps to
curb it if they were needed.
Back in january, Mr.. Martin
said there were signs of an in
crease in speculation and an
indication that there were new
people coming into the market
who didn't understand fully the
business of stock trading.

asked the witness if he con-
sidered last weeks market de-

He had discovered a clan of

BANGKOK, Thailand. - An
American expedition forging
through the bamboo jungles of
Northeastern Thailand has To-
Gated a clan of pygmy like
people that had eluded the eyes
of white man since 1927.
So elusive were the tribesmen
that many in T'hailand had be-
gun to think they were a myth
An expedition of the American
Museum of Natural History,
however, tracked them down,
photographed them. made tape
recordings of their high-pitched
voices-and then lost track of
them again.
The full story of the expedi-
ton was told today by Robert
w. Weaver of Richmond, Ind,
leader of the group assigned to
find the tribesmen known as
Phi Thong Luang, or Spirits of
the Yellow Leaf.
Mr.. Weaver was assisted by
Thomas l.. Goodman of Sweden,
Me-; Edward Gardner, a Thai
born Englishman and profess
sional tiger hunter in this area;
and, from time to time, native
bearers, oxen and elephants.
Follow Elephant Trail
The expedition set out from
Bangkok guided only by clues at
least quarter of a century old.
The group travelled by train, by
truck, and then by foot along
an elephant trail that led
through an evergreen forest to
the top of Mount Phu Kading
in Eastern Thailand.
On top was a great undulating
plain of grass with moss -draped
trees-and tigers. The plain
was the first objective of the
expedition.
Rumors we're that Phi Thong
Luang people lived on this plain
more than Is years earlier, and
had fled when tigers ate most
of the women.
Mr.. Weaver, Mr.. Goodman,
Mr.. Gardner and nine Laotian
bearers pitched camp on this
plateau and explored it for two
months. To live, the expedition
shot deer, wild pigs, squirrels
and birds such as doves and
storks. Members ate wild banan-
as and vegetables that n white
man had ever named.
The explorers finally decided
that the Phi Thong Luang could
have taken one of two logical
paths to escape the tigers. so
they struck out down one of
these paths.
For more than three weeks the
search was fruitless. except for
encounters with hunters who
had vague reports Of the Phi
Thong Luang.
Then two Phi Thong Luang
stepped from the brush and
spoke to one of Mr.. Weaver's
hunters. who was scouting alone
A rendezvous was set.
To keep from frightening the
Phi Thong Luang. Mr.. Weaver
included only the three white
men, one Laotian hunter, an

Puy Recommendations

Members of both the House
and Senate District Committees
today agreed on pay raises for
city judges here.
On the House side, the full
District Committee agreed on a
$4,000 increase but adjourned
before taking a formal vote. The
raise would go to judges of Mu-
icipal Court, the Municipal Court
of Appeals and the DisUict Tax
Court.
The committee scaled down a
proposel $500 raise contained in
a pending bill.
In the Senate, three members
of the District Committee S
judiciary subcommittee recon-
mended a $500 increase. In
addition, they proposed a raise
of $4,000 for Juvenile Court
Judge Edith Cockrill, whose pay
is below that of other judges.
Could Change Minds
The three-man Senate group
Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon. chairman, and Senators
Bible, Democrat, of Nevada, and
Hruska, Republican of Nebraska
reserved the right to change
their recommendation up or
down when the matter comes
before the full committee, how
ever.
The House committee had to
adjourn, however, when a point
of order was made chat it could
not continue its meeting because
the House was in session begin
ming at noon.
Committee Chairman McMil-
Ian said the unit in executive
session had voted to include the
judge of the tax court and was
discussing another motion to
include the judge of juvenile
court in legislation for the same
pay raise when the point of
order was made which stopped
further committee action.
Chairman Mcmillan said he
will call another meeting of the
full committee as soon as pos
sible to complete action on the
bill.
Most of the time of the COM
mittee during its hour and a
half session. it's chairman said
was devoted to discussing the
financial predicament of the
District government.
City Has Problem
He said the commltte was con-
cerned because it realized the
District Commissioners were up
against the problem of finding
sufficient funds to pay for ex-
penSeS already authorized Tor
the District.
Discussion revolved also around
the problem of whether the COM
mittee could authorize increases
for the judges with the possibil-
ity that demands would be made
on Congress for increases in pay
for teachers and everybody
else" Mr.. Mcmillan said.
The vote to amend the bill
cutting the pay raise from the
bills $500 increase to $4,000
increase was passed by a vote of
nine to five, he said.

.MentaIPa Patients
Privilege Held
Violated inCase.
Appeals Court Bors
Doctors Testimony
On 'Fuked' illness
By Miriam Ottenberq

The U. S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia today
ruled that a st. Elizabeths Hos
pital psychiatrist was violating a
patients privilege" when he told
a jury that a prisoner admitted
taking his mental illness.
The court made the ruling in
a split decision reversing the
robbery conviction of George
Taylor. who had been sentenced
to a 5-to-15-year prison term
for robbery. housebreaking and
grand larceny.
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman,
in dissenting, warned that the
decision "cuts off use of the tes-
timony of all the Government
doctors in these cases where an
indicted man is in a Government
hospital undergoing compulsory
treatment as result of which
it is anticipated he will return
to the authorities for trial
That is." added Judge Pret-
lyman, lit cuts off that testi-
mony unless the accused con-
sents. which in practical effect
means unless it is favorable to
him.
Sees Great Handicap
1T seems to me that this de-
cision will badly handicap and
confuse the handling of those
cases in which persons accused
of crime are committed to Gov
ernment institutions because Of
incapacity to stand trial"
Judge Henry w. Edgerton, who
wrote the majority opinion with
Judge George T. Washington
concurring ruled that the lower
court erred in requiring the st.
Elizabeths Hospital psychiatrist
who examined and treated Tay-
lor to violate" a privileged COM
munication between physician
and patient by testifying at his
trial.
Taylor was accused of robbing
two occupants of an apartment,
one of whom had befriended
him and taken him into the
apartment after he had faxed
illness on the street. He was in
dicteo in December. 1852, but in
March. 1858. he was found men,
tally incompetent to stand trial.
St. Elizabeth's reported him
mentally competent in October,
1858, and he went on trial the
following month. At the trial.
where the only defense was in
sanity, DR.. Joseph l.. Gilbert tes-
titled that at the time of the
oifcnse Taylor was of unsound
mind suffering from dementia
praecoX with symptoms that in
cluded confusion, memory fall
ures, hostility, hallucinations and
deluSions.
"GOing Along With a Gag"
The prosecution called DR..
Leon Epstein of St. Elizabeth's
who, according to Judge Edger-
ton review of the case, promptly
suggested that what he had
I learned from his patient was
privileged. The court ruled it
was not
DR. Epstein then testified that
Taylor told him he had not suf-
fered from hallucinations or. de-
lusions but had been going
along with a gag" in describing
such episodes.

a provision of the District Code
that in the courts here mo ply
