BY TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star etaR Writer

Recently q customer stroIled

colored bathroom sponge labeled
Made in West Germany"
Another customer purchased
an umbrella. It's tortoise shell
handle bore the word Italy.
A third person, picking up q
jigsaw puzzle, found the phrase
Product Of Great Britain" on
the box.
Although this international
flavor was emphasized in an
import festival" at the store
last month, it represents q trend
that has been increasing steadily
for years.
The plain fact is, the publie's
taste for foreign goods Is now
big business.
Andrew Parker. store presi-
dent, is In q good position to
know. He has directed opera
tons from the presidents office
since 1947. Robert E. L. Johnson
is chairman of the board and
chief executive officer.
"a decade ago, no more than
four buyers from our store went
overseas" Mr.. Parker points
out. Nov we send Is to Europe
every year. In 1859 about 2 per
cent of our total sales were in
direct imports purchased by us
abroad-and q lot more was
sold by us but for technical
reasons not treated as imports"

Why the yen for foreign

ship. Even before World War II,
Woodies sent buyers to France
and England.
"But there's no question:" he
adds, that the war stimulated
some of this appetite. The
armed forces were exposed to
foreign products, and brought
home new attitudes"
Travel Factor
Another reason, he notes, is
the increase in civilian travel
in the last decade. According
to the United States Commerce
Department, 1.6 million Ameri-
cans boarded planes and ships
last year to see the world, COM
pared to $4,000 just 10 years
earlier.
Certainly as the world
shrinks. through jet travel,
more and more people see
things they like overseas" 4"
comments Mr.. Parker
"The public is definitely more
cosmopolitan. In Washington,
with all its embassies and as
the Nations Capital, it's logical
to have expanded our import
program"
There are some problems
connected with foreign goods.
Italian women, for example, are
not built like American women.
Notes Mr.. Parker: They're
more buxom. generally" This
means Italian designers must
take pains to understand the
American market-or in plain
words, female dimensions.
Good Job
Mr.. Parker thinks Italian
clothes designers are generally
doing a good job, and notes
that about a fifth of all imports
by Woodies come from Italy.
But he's skeptical about the
orthopedic virtues of high
fashion pointed shoes. "I've
been told by several women
they're comfortable" he re-
marks. "but I can't believe it,"
To keep up with trends, the
store president studies import
statistics and also visits key
European cities where Frederick
Atkins International represents
the store. Woodward & Lothrop
now has representatives in II
major cities in Europe and an
other in Tokyo.
Il think we're going to have
to get a world map soon," he
says Win a smile.
$71 Million Sales
The store management's SEN
sitivity to public tastes is re-
f1ected in steady growth since
Mr.. Parker was named presi-
dent 13 years ago. In 1947
Woodies crossed $39,015,079 in

July 80. 1860, sales totaled

Giants, announced today he
has resigned as head football
coach at Carroll High School.
Leemans will be replaced by
