FASHION NOTEBOOK
American Know-how Provides
Goodwill and Chic Fashions
BY ELEM
star Fashion Writer

One Of the real tributes to
American know-how shows
up in the fashion business.
In getting to know the
fashion potential of various
countries, fashion experts
from the United States have
made a valuable contribution
to down-to-earth under
standing Of other peoples.
Bonnie Cashin went to
India two years ago as part
Of a team sent there by ICA.
Travelling through the far
flung land, she investigated
many Of the handicraft in
dustries giving advice as to
how they could find better
markets for their wares.
Communicating with textile,
jewelry, and other allied
fashion industry heads was
made easier because the de-
signer. herself, knew what the
market was seeking.
Dyes that wouldn't run,
textiles made on wider looms,
and jewelry designed with an
eye to American tastes and
standards were just a few Of
the areas touched upon by
the team in an effort to help
these industries get maximum
results from the fashion
public.
Fascinating Tale
One of the most fascinat-
ing fashion tales being told
today is that Of the Dynasty
silks. The luxury of silk upon
the skin Of woman has been
a Joy to her for centuries.
The up-to-date version of
the fabulous Chinese silks
starts in 1851, when the Dy-
nasty factory in Hong Kong
was started by an American
colonel in the Air Force in
China during World War II.
Linden E. johnson, and
James Ling, a Chinese, who
had been in the silk business
in Shanghai.
Dora Sanders, an American
stylist, at the instigation of
Lord & Taylor, went to Hong
Kong in the summer Of 1851.
She restyled the line on
American sizes, and in varia-
lions that retained the Orien-
tai delicacy, yet were geared
to the American woman's
taste.
Two months a year Dora
Sanders savors the exotic in
spiration Of Hong Kong doing
this. The balance of the year
while in New York, she has
the rare pleasure of seeing
the loungewear, evening
dresses, evening coats. and
Sportswear being worn at the
opposite end of the world by
American women in their
daily lives.
Part of the romance of the
Dynasty silks is the way they
are produced. No assembly,

Any appeal will be filed first
in the Higher Court, and that
tribunals decision can be ap-
pealed in turn to the Supreme
Court. Both the Government
and the defendants can appeal,
and it might be years before
Ia final decision is handed down.
The decision could develop
into a political issue, as the
opposition Socialists have de-
manded an end to the 1851

pact which gives the United
States the right to maintain
bases in Japan. Also under So
