NEW YORK, May 5.-Brit-
aims royal wedding caused
more excitement than the
sack dress in New York's
fashion industry.
News of Princess Marga-
ret's choice of a high-necked,
long-sleeved, completely un-
trimmed wedding dress caused
a sensational in the garment
industry.
Sketches of her simple
princess silhouette trousseau
clothes from the Paris House
of Dior have brought on
urgent huddles among de-
signers and manufacturers.
Applauded
Comment in the interna-
tional fashion set was varied.
Designer Oleg Cassini ap-
plauded Margaret's choice,
commenting:
1T strikes me that after
all the pre-wedding sensa-
tionalism. simplicity in the
wedding clothes might clear
the air of Britain.

most Of the evening gowns
worn by stars Of stage, screen
and television, said:
"A simple wedding dress is
a wise choice for Princess
Margaret. who is a petite girl,
and should not be overpow-
cred by too many frills and
trimmings. I can't see that
either her bridal gown or
trouSSeau clothes will affect
American styles greatly, be-
cause they are completely in
dividual, planned for the
Princess herself"

Lilly Dache, noted milliner
and beauty expert. said:
Princess Marga aret is
starting a new life, and her
choice Of these starkly simple
clothes proves it. Even
royalty wants to be individ-
ual. The princess is a modern
girl who doesn't give a hoot
for the old order, even though
she has always performed her
official duties admirably.
But now she is marrying
a commoner. and she is serv-
ing notice that she intends
to lead her own life"

the status of professor emeri-
tus in residence.
Those Exciting Years"
will be the theme of the
dinner, to be held at the
Occidental Restaurant.
Exciting Year
"And she has made them
exciting years." noted Mrs.
Joshua Evans. jr., honorary
trustee of the University, who
will pay a personal tribute to
Miss Atwell at the dinner.
81 often say that she has
made very good bricks with
out sufficient straw" Mrs.
Evans continued in reference
to the limited facilities and
equipment available when
Miss Atwell started building
up her department until it
now holds a noteworthy place
among universities.
Shane Mccarthy, chair
man of the Presidents Coun-
Gil on Youth Fitness, will
present Miss Atwell a cita-
ton recognizing her contrib
ution to American youth as
a national leader in her field.
Talks also will be made by
Vice Admiral Oswald S. Col
clough. acting president Of
the university. and Carl
Troester, representing the
American Association for
Health. Physical Education
and Recreation.
Some Regret
Miss Atwell expressed some
regret at giving up her ex-
ecutive duties at a time when
the importance of physical
development is being re-
emphasized. She attributed
this renewed interest largely
to medical research into the
causes of mental breakdownS.
Though her tea ch in g
schedule will be limited to
six hours next year. Miss
Atwell undoubtedly will have
many demands on her time
from the various organiza-
tions in which she is active.
She also is looking forward
to having more time for her
hobby-painting. Her medi-
um is oil and she specializes

Methodisfs
Vote TO Add
New Bishop

Delegates to the Northeast
ern Jurisdictional Conference
of the Methodist Church today
voted to increase the number
of bishops in their area to
q from 6 but turned down a
move to add an eighth bishop.
The way was paved for this
action when the conference,
meeting in Metropolitan Me-
mortal Methodist Church, voted
yesterday to establish West
Virginia as a separate episcopal
area.
The Northeastern jurisdiction
today has 81 annual confer
ences with a membership of
more than 1.9 million persons
in IL States, the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico.
Episcopal areas established
in the past are Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Syracuse and Washington.
AS a result of the action
taken today it is likely that
four new bishops will be elected
at the meeting, which opened
yesterday and ends Sunday.
This number will be affected
strongly by an action to be
taken later today determining
whether Bishop Newell S.
Booth will be returned to the
Elizabethville belgian Congo
area of the Methodist Church.
He has been serving as bishop
there since his election in 1914.
If Bishop Booth is brought
to the United States and as
signed to an area in the North
eastern jurisdiction, only three
new bishops will be elected
since the Central Conference
in the African state will then
elect its own bishop,

Legislative Oddities Of Past Year

Advocates of: "There ought to be a law" had their say in the record-breaking number of states which held legislative sessions in 1859, according to Commerce Clearing House, national reporting authority ntax and business law.
 Nearly 100000 proposals were dropped into legislative hoppers by lawmakers of 49 states during the year. CCH editors, in the course of reporting tax and busi- nes law developments, uncovered the following oddities among measures that became law:
 An operator of self-propelled Wheelchair must have a drivers license in California.
 A Vermont license to transport baby chicks will be refused to anyone who cannot prove his good character.
 Racial or religious discrimina- tion in crematories was banned in Illinois.
 Connecticut made it crime not to return pregnant Holsters to the water immediately after they are caught.
 Hawaii outlaWed turtle shooting. A ,,oo,c,,ro o0,,c;JoroJ 1,1, l,,,cv lawmakers, but which did not pass, was one that presumably would have cleaned up Colorado's highways without state expense. The proposal would have ordered drunken drivers to remove old beer cans and whiskey bottles along the roads, in an effort to make the punishment fit the crime;
 Other proposals which were considered, but did not pass, were as follows
 A legend on cigarettes, warning of the danger of lung cancer, would have been required to be imprinted by sellers of cigarettes in Missouri
 Indiana was encouraged to make the colors of license plates match the colors of the high schol which won the state basket ball championship.
 Advertising was described by Hawaiian lawmaker, in his unsuc- cessful bid to ban all liquor ad- vertising, as follows:
 "A cold and calculating science geared to influence the behavior patterns of human beings into conditioned reflexes responding to camouflaged signals"
 And, in Hawaii, of all places, someone was being extra cautious. He proposed prohibition against removal, for private use, of sand from beaches.
