With SUBURBS
Board Of Trode OfficioI Urges
Strong Areo-Wide Agencies

The Washington area ur-
gently needs a strong regional
planning agency and a Metro
politan transportation author
ity, a Board of Trade official
declared today.
William H. Press, executive
vice president Of the board,
said the time is coming when
such Metropolitan agencies will
be necessary to cope with the
areas problems.
Artificial political lines are
often troublesome" he said.
The average person in the
Washington area Is not too
much concerned about political
jurisdictions.
Recognizing that dozens of
local government agencies have
been created in the past few
years, Mr.. Press declared that
many ventures have been frus-
trated by unnecessary red tape.
Warns Against Bigness
II believe we should move
slowly" he said, but we've
got to get better ways Of hand
ling common problems in the
Metropolitan Area.
He discounted the need for
any central body which might
govern the District as well as
the surrounding counties and
towns. Toronto and Miami, he
noted, have merged most of
their city agencies with those
Of their suburbs.
But I don't believe that's
necessary here" he said. If
you get too big a jurisdiction,
you get overwhelmed by size
and bureaucratic turmoil"
But the area does need a
stronger Metropolitan planning
agency than it now has, he
said and such an organization
should be empowered to make
plans for the entire area, leav-
ing the details to each local
jurisdiction.
Congress Support Seen
The area also is beginning to
feel the need for a Metropoli-
tan transportation authority.
1t would run the airports and
supervise certain other areas of
transportation, he said.
The board had made no Seri-
Gus efforts to secure Congress
sional approval of these prof.
ects this session, but sit is one
of our principal areas TO be
concentrated on in the year
ahead" he said. The board be-
lieves it had a strong enough
case to win the consent of
Congress.
Mr.. Press noted that the
board itself officially recognized
a growing partnership between
the city and its suburbs by
changing its name last year to
Metropolitan Washington
Board of Trade. Members from
throughout the entire area
have long been members Of the
organization.

QUESTION getting
married in October and plan
to make my dress. I'm %
years old, I feet II inches tall,
and weigh l19 pounds. I have
always had my heart set on
re-embroidered lace.
Recently I saw my dream
dress in a high fashion mag
azine. 1t had a scooped neck,
small cap sleeves and a very
full, gathered skirt. short
length. Now, a store consult
ant put a damper on the
idea.
She says I can't wear that
style in such a heavy lace.
The dress takes about 8
yards. Before I throw my
dream away. I want your
opinion. I will not change
the style. but If necessary
will use another fabric.
I want to look right so
please be honest with me-
Miss N. L.
ANSWER-The consultant
is right. Re-embroidered lace
is extremely heavy and bulky.
Aside from the style. the
weight would drag you to the
ground. Waistline gathers in
this fabric would make a
little girl look shorter and
mammoth.
Keep the style, but use
fine Chantilly lace. This will
gather beautifully. with little
bulk and will be far more
flattering. Even though your
dream is gone. I'm quite sure
you will look lovely.
Keep in mind, Chantilly
lace's elegant Scalloped edge.
You can use 1t at the neck
line and hem bottom. 1t will
be much more beautiful. I
