Many intelligent, worldly
sophisticates ask me why
the Paris fashion world of
today is so confusing. In days
gone by, these ladies say, we
bought lovely clothes from
the great houses of Paris.
whose only objective was to
make beautiful models to
please us.
Today, they add. tn e
French designers seem more
intent on creating "freakish"
fads for publicity, or copying
each other than they seem
to care about their clients.
Certainly this seems to be
true when one reads the uress
raves of the fantastic in
fashion," and the stories that
all the new young designers
copied Givenchy's princess
silhouette and that one de-
signer stole another design
er's sleeves, belt or what have
you.
Factually, there is still
great talent in Paris. great
individuality and great houses
that care for clients in a
great way. It's just that the
Paris fashion world, as a
body, has changed just like
everything else in the world.
Everything is Speedier. more
dashing to keep up with jets
and faster communications.
World of Frenzy
Most of all. the desire to
latch on to the Yankee dollar
of the great American whole
sale industry has spurred
these "avant garde" boys into
a fashion world of frenzy. A
far cry from the somber.

This. of course, is exactly
what 1t is, but it can be
pretty, too. Also. use a con-
trasting color for the bind

nominee, almost certain to be

Catholics account for Just
over Is per cent of church
membership in West Virginia
and not quite 5 per cent Of the
total population. The percent
age Of Catholics may be higher
among Democrats, who will do
all the voting in the Kennedy
Humphrey contest. Unlike Wis
consin, West Virginia does not
permit croSSover voting in
primaries.
The Catholic population is
heaviest upstate, especially in
the steel towns of the north
ern Panhandle. One third of
the States Catholics live in the
upper three counties of the
Panhandle.
Rural West Virginia is prac-
tically all Protestant, mostly
Methodists and BaptistS. South
ern West Virginia is over
whelmingly Protestant, but
there are Catholic parishes in
some coal-mining sections
there.
Although opinion is not
unanimous, many West Vir-
ginia politicians think religion
will work for Congregationalist
Humphrey and against Catholic
Kennedy in the areas Of almost
complete Protestant sway.
II so. another factor could
work in the opposite direction
in rural West Virginia, where
Democrats tend to vote for
men Of somewhat conservative
stamp. This is Senator Hum
phrey'S reputation of being a
militant liberal.
Conservatism a Factor
As between Senators Ken
nedy and Humphrey, the State
leadership of both the AFL-
C1O and the United Mine
Workers is officially neutral.
The president of one of the
States three big UNIV dis
tricts, Raymond o. Lewis of
District II, said that as an
individual he favors Senator
Humphrey, although as dis
trict president his policy would
be hands off. A few UNIV
locals are reported to have
taken a stand for Senator
Humphrey.
Twelve delegates-at-large to
the Democratic National Con-
vention and IL congressional
district delegates will be elected
in the West Virginia primary.
Rounding out the States 25
convention votes will be one
half vote each for the national
committeeman and national
committeewoman.
Right now Senator johnson
appears to hold the strongest
chance for support in the West
Virginia delegation. The States
two United States Senators,
Robert C. Byrd and Jennings
Randolph. are for Senator
johnson. So is John E. Amos
Of Charleston, the States ma
tional committeeman.

Vice President and Mrs.
Nixon attended a neighborhood
political rally last night. How
ever. it isn't likely many OF
those who cheered Mr.. Nixon
will vote for him next fall.
Attending the rally were the
Nixons' neighbors in Spring
Valley and Wesley Heights. As
residents Of the District, they
can't vote.
If the votes were miss
ing, enthusiasm wasn't. This
prompted Mr.. Nixon to say:
"Of all the political meetings
we expect to attend-and We
expect to attend few in the
next few months-this prob
ably is the most unique.
After seeing this kind of
support in our own neighbor-
hood. we ought to get busy
and get that bill passed, so you
can vote, at least for President.

sofa.
There aren't many known
supporters of either Senator
Kennedy or Senator Humphrey
among those running for dele
gate. And political observers
say they don't expect that sit
uation to change, regardless Of
the outcome of the May 10
voting.
Humphrey Starts Tomorrow
Senator Humphrey will go on
the road first. His campaign
bus is due to leave here early
tomorrow morning for a swing
through Southern West Vir-
ginia.
Senator Kennedy will begin
stumping Monday, also with a
series Of appearances in the
southern part Of the State. But
already his two brothers, Rob-
ert and Ted, are meeting here
with campaign workers. Flying
in from Wisconsin yesterday.
Robert F. Kennedy said his
brother would consider "a bare
majority" as a major victory
in West Virginia.
The non-binding Kennedy
Humphrey race here after the
Wisconsin verdict would be like
having batting practice after
the crucial game, except for two
things:
l. The prospect that over
vhelmingly Protestant West
Virginia will furnish a truer
test than Wisconsin of the re-
ligious issue which arises be-
cause Senator Kennedy is a
Roman Catholic.
2. The fact that this is the
next-to-last big chance his
party foes will have to upset
the Kennedy bandwagon in a
primary. Not until the Oregon
voting May 20 will Senator
Kennedy again go against seri-
GUS opposition. Entered in the
Democratic primary there
along with Senators Kennedy
and Humphrey are Senate
Democratic Leader johnson of
Texas, Senator Symington of
Missouri and Senator Morse of
Oregon.
ESchew Religious Issue
Here, as in Wisconsin. both
candidates undoubtedly will
stick to the position that re-
ligion should not be an issue.
But they can't keep it from
being discussed. Its possible
effect already is being dis
cussed wherever people gather
to talk politics in West Vir-
ginia.
A solid Kennedy victory here
might do for him what his
Wisconsin victory did not. It
might dispel the fear felt by
some party professionals that
Senator Kennedy, as a Cath
olic, could not win in Novem-
ber against the Republican

Kennedy's View

Senator Kennedy, in win
ming, carried one farm district.
He said this proves his religion
would be no handicap in Prot
estant farm areas of the Mid
west.
In that district, the seventh,
he ran ahead of Senator Hum
phrey of Minnesota by 6,l22
votes out of 61,013 cast in the
Democratic primary.
But a single county, Portage,
gave him an edge Of 5,O65
votes over Senator Humphrey.
1t is a strongly Catholic COM
munity.
So Senator Kennedy's op-
ponents argue that Portage
gave him the victory in the
7th district and without that
county he would have lost all
four agricultural districts.
The States election law re-
quires that each voter, regard
less of any party preference
he may have. be given the
primary ballots of all parties,
He chooses one privately, dis
cards the rest. This permits
even formal members of one
party to vote instead in primary
contests of another.
"Crossoyers" by Republicans
who voted for both Senators
Kennedy and Humphrey TN
doubtedly affected all three
principals, including Mr.. Nixon.
For example, there are two
counties, Grant and Richland,
that nave long been Repub-
lican strongholds. They went
Democratic last Tuesday.
Richland, primarily Protest.
ant, went to Senator Hum
phrey. Grant, with some 80
per cent Catholic voters, went
to Senator Kennedy. Obvi-
ously, Republicans crossed
over" helping Senator Hum
phrey in one instance, Senator
Kennedy in the other, Mr..
Nixon in neither.
NixOn'S Position
So it appears that Mr.. Nixon
may have been caught in the
cross-fire between Senators
Kennedy and Humphrey, set
of in part by the religious
issue.
The Vice President. unop-
posed and without campaign
ing, rolled up BAL, ,463 votes,
about 80 per cent of the total.
His hackers said that was sur
prisingly good. considering the
fact that he did not come into
Wisconsin and had no opposi-
ton in the Republican primary.
People don't dislike Nixon
here" said Thomas Coleman
Of Madison. Hes always been
popular in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Coleman. former lieuten-
ant of the late Senator Robert
A. Taft, takes little active part
in politics today. But he is con-
sidered one of the best informed
observers on Wisconsin anC
the Middle West.
In this State" he said
about 40 per cent of the voters
are unaffiliated. These are the
ones who decide elections"

Wisconsin Vote
Leaves Puzzle
BY RELMAN MORN
Associated Press Staf Writer

MILWAUKEE,, April Z -
Senator Kennedy's showing in
the Wisconsin presidential pri-
mary cast little light on the
question:
Will the Midwestern Protes-
tant farmer vote for Senator
Kennedy next November If the
Massachusetts, Senator is the
Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent?
And Vice President Nixon's
showing left unanswered an
equally big political puzzler:
Can he pull enough inde-
pendents to be selected if he
is Republican candidate?
Fateful Questions
Countless millions of votes
and possibly the presidency
may be riding on the answers
to these two questions.
Analysts hoped to find them
in Wisconsin last Tuesday. For
in this state, Catholics conSti-
tute as estimated 80 per cent
of the total vote. Four of its
six congressional districts are
primarily agricultural. And it
has probably the highest per-
centage of independent voters
of any State in the Nation
thousands of people who just
don't give solid allegiance to
either major political party.
With this pattern, important
foresadowingS on the 1860
presidential race were expect
ed to emerge in Wisconsin. But
they didn't.

Inc not weather apparently
has had no effect Of fishing, at
least in Chesapeake Bay. and
although you may sizzle unless
you can find a breeze, there are
plenty of rock, blues, spot and
some trout to be caught this
week end.
Over on the nearby seacoast
the northeasters have been
raising hob and there isn't toe
much doing except for bonito
and some blues. There seems to
be a great many of the former.
Speaking of bluefish. the first
reports of sizable catches of big
fish from the North Jersey coast
came this week. Boats out of
Brielle were said to be making
good hauls and one party from
this area had a ball with 5 to g.
pound fish off Barnegat Light.
The. party included Joseph w.
Peltz and Joseph Plott of Arl-
ington, Bob Ballard of Fairfax,
Gerald Lambert of Woodbridge
and Charles Funkhauser' and
Roy Matthews of Vienna. All
are Melpar employees.
They fished out of Barnegat
on Capt. Ed Shriner's Polly and
about 20 miles offshore ran into
the big blues. In three hours
of cumming they caught 108.
Big rockfish are being caught
above the Bay Bridge both
trolling and drifting eels while
some in the 14-pound class have
been taken in the Patuxent
River floating soft crabs.
On the whole, though, the
schools consist of pan-sized fish
weighing at the most 3 pounds
and they seem to range all over
the Bay as far south as Point
No Point.
Fishing has picked up within
the last week in the Point
Lookout area with great num-
bers of blues ranging from the
mouth of the Potomac to Point
No Point. Boats have been
bringing back catches of 100
to nearly 200. These are all
snappers. running to perhaps a
pound and a half.
