VETERANS
NEWS

Veterans Administration has
mailed annual income question
naires to more than a million vet
erans and widows and children of
deceased veterans who are on VAS
pension rolls.
Those who receive the question
naires are urged by VA to fill them
in completely and return them i'm
mediately to the VA offices which
sent them.
Unless properly filled-out ques-
tionnaires are returned to VA with
in 80 days, pension payments must
be stopped, VA said.
Since disability and death pen
sions are subject to annual income
limit ions, questionnaireS are
mailed out yearly. The current
questionnaires request data on 1855
income and anticipated 1856 in
come:
The questionnaires have been
sent to $4,000 veterans and to
the $4,000 widows and children
of deceased veterans.
Pensions are payable to certain
eligible veterans of World War 1,
World War II and the Korean con-
flict period who are permanently
and totally disabled from causes not
connected with their service in the
armed forces, and to certain wild
ows and children of veterans of
these wars who die of nonservice-
connected causes. In both cases, the
annual income of those receiving
pension must not exceed ST, 400
without dependents, or $2,700, with
dependents.
VA said the only dependents al
lowed for a living veteran for pen
sion purposes are a wife and minor
children, and for a widow, only
minor children.

American designer notes after
q three-year absence?
Just back from three years
of being abroad with her Army
husband, 1t. Col. Hal D.
Steward, is former George
town designer, Dawn Bentata.
First thing she noticed was
that all fashion seems headed
for a top-level conference.
Hats, hairdoS, and a general
upswept approach was APP
parent to her on her return
from Germany this past
month.
This zen masSe" look Ameri-
can women have accepted SUBJ
ordinates the dress silhouette.
At the same time it plays up
the fact that the dress is
simple, fabric beautiful, and
the lines pleasing. Top in
terest is certainly dominant.
This shift of fashion atten-
ton is not unnatural to a de-
signer, she says. but has i'm
pact when you haven't been
able to watch the transition
first-hand.
She has travelled through
Europe covering assignments
as the women'S editor Of The
Overseas Weekly, an English
language weekly newspaper
published for Americans in
Europe. She was also a fea-
tured columnist for The Amer
lean Week End, another pub
LEGATION for Americans abroad.
Dawn Bentata did quite a bit
of fashion reporting along with
travel articles for them from
Rome. Madrid, Barcelona,
Paris, Berlin and Frankfurt.
Striking Difference
The striking difference she
found between European
women and American women
regarding fashion, is that the
European woman dresses with
a much more critical eye to
her figure type than does her
American sister.
She discovered that Italian
and American women have
similar tall figure types. Ger
man and French women are
shorter in height, more full
busted and shorter wasted.
The way women walk is
another fashion factor not to
be discounted in any part of
the fashion world. The sheath,
Tor example, might prove I'M
calmly for many English
women who take long strides
when they walk.
Dawn has flown twice around
the world on her travels. Be-
fore returning to Washington
where her husband now is
stationed, she stopped off to
visit her family in Auckland,
New Zealand.
We asked her how wide
spread she felt the American
influence is on fashion gen.

tralia pays a lot of attention
to California designers because

in Georgetown.
Japan Assignment
In 1858 she was asked by
Japan's largest department
store, Shirokiya, to return to
create a ready-to-wear collec-
ton of Western-type fashions
for Japanese women.
It was quite a job. There

that were fashionable, func-

1.-THE Oriental fashion influ-
ence that swept Paris, New
York, and California never
went over big in the Orient"
says Miss Bentata.
What Japanese women seek
in their contemporary fashions
are styles that will give them
heighth, elongate their waist
lines. necklines, and be scaled
to their diminutive figures, Miss
Bentata discovered.
French Success
Paris designers like Dior
have enjoyed great success in
Japan because they claim that
their styles are more acceptable
to Japanese women. There is
a similarity between figure
types of French women, which
can be better adapted to Jap
anese figures than can fashions
from America.
