picked out a 5-yard piece of
purple shantung and noticed
that it had faded near some
of the folds. even though I
refolded it at various inter-
walls. Since it is very expen-
sive, could you advise me
what to do?-Mrs. r. N.
A. Some fabrics will re-
main unchanged, depending
on the types of dyes and
,colors used. but other will
fade. Silk is especially bad
and you chose one of the
worst colors, purple, to put
aside. Purple is almost guar
anteed to change color. Your
only solution is to have the
piece dyed professionally
and then cut your dress.
@. I like Millium lining,
but I don't like the feel of it
against my skin. Would it be
all right to use the Millium
as in interlining and silk as
the outer lining? - Mrs.
C. K. B.
A. If you don't like the
way Millium feels, then don't
use it. This fabric is meant
to be used without an inter-
lining. 1t is chemically
treated to provide insulation
without weight. 1t would be
much cheaper to use a regu-
lar interlining fabric with
your silk lining instead of
paying more for one that is
supposed to work as an inter-
lining and lining together.

Nixon Decides to Run for Governor
 -. Does Not Seek Presidency in '64

LOS ANGELES tR = Richard M. Nixon's decision to run for Governor of California in l962- and not seek the Presidency in 1864 provided all the makings for slan1lbang campaign.
 The 48-year-old Republican who jus. jus. missed the White House last year set a militant tone in his long-awaited announcement on Wednesday night. But so did his opponents, both Democratic and Republican.
 Nixon sized up Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown as that ami able but bungling man" He prom ised campaign that would beat Pat Brown to pulp"
 ssThe government, that State House in Sacramento, is in a mess and somebody has to clean it up" ," he told televised news confer ence.

Alaska Men Attend
 Course in Techniques for Building Fallout Shelters

Two Anchorage men are attend- ing a two-w week course at Port Hueneme, Calif., as a part of a program to survey Alaskan com munities needs far public fallout shelters
 The school sessions are preli minary to a national Civil De- fense program that his been start ea recently to determine how much adequate shelter space ex- ists for the nations population. The shelters will enable those protected to survive the deadly effects of fallout from nuclear attack which otherwise they may not be able to survive.
 Two district employees, Robert E. Lyle, and Edward M. Johnson, both professional engineers, at- tended a course in ti1e tecinliqiies to be used in making the shelter surveys. The course was held in August at Fort Belvoir, Va, and covered subjects as "The Radia- ton and Biological Effects of Fallout Radiation IS h ter Evaluation," and Shelter Im- Methods"

Stung by a question on ms per- sonal finances, Nixon said he had been threatened and warned that every dead cat and every old story would be thrown up and used against me-
 Let me just say that nobody is going to frighten me. Nobody is going to drive me out of this contest"
 Accepting Nixon's challenge, Brown declared his candidacy would galvanize majority Demo- crats into "a fighting crusade. , Democrats hold 1.4-million lead in registration.
 q welcome welcome the opportunity to confront Richard Nixon in cam paign that once and for all will retire him to private life," Bronli said in press statement.
 The Governor said Nixon's an- nouncement means simply that he will be candidate for Pres ident again in l964"--midway in the four-year state term.
 Nixon said flatly, q shall not seek the Presidency in 1964," but he did not absolutely remove him self from another try.
 New York Gov. Nelson Rocke- feller said he has not eliminated Nixon as a potential candidate for the COP Presidential nomi- nation in 1864.
 Speaking to reporters at Buf- falo, N Rockefeller commented that a draft twill always be a possibility"
 State Republican leaders, open ly backing Nixon over three other announced COP candidates, were plainly jubilant that he had agreed to run. But they faced the prospect of intraparty strife over the gubernatoriai nomina- tion.
 Former Gov. Goodwin Knight gave notice he's in the COP race to stay. So did the Assembly Mi nority Leader, Joseph C. Shell of Los Angeles. The fourth candi- date former It. Gov. Harold J. Powers, was unavailable for com ment.
 
 Knight, who gave way to for mer Sen. William Knowland's Nixon-supported candidacy and withdrew from the race for gov ernor in 1858, gave this advice to Democrats in a telev;sed inter- view: Register Republican next year so you can vote against Nix on i'll the June primary.
 Californians will be able to vote only for their own party candidates in that primary for the first time in modern history. Cross-filing, which allowed office seekers to run on both tickets, was repealed by the 1859 Demo- cratic Legislature.

Barring a last-minute re-
prieve from Congress or their
State legislatures, the entire
House delegations of six States
face the prospect of running
for reelection at-large next
year.
The resulting chaos could
jeopardize the political careers
of a dozen or more powerful
senior Representatives and put
the voters of the affected States
in a position to revise radically
the political climate of the
House.
The problem arises from the
failure of the legislatures in
five States-Alabama, Illinois
Massachusetts, Minnesota and
Pennsylvania-to agree on new
congressional district lines. The
S States were among Is in
the country that had their con-
gresSional representation de-
creased because of population
shifts revealed in the 1860
census.
A sixth State in the same
category, Arkansas. saw its leg

in the Senate this late in the
session.
If they fail to gain relief in
Congress, the lawmakers from
the affected States are expected
to renew their drive for special
sessions of their State legisla-
lures to draw new district lines.
The legislatures were stymied in
their earlier efforts net only
by partisan strife, but by the
traditional struggle between ur-
ban and rural forces. Whether
second try in some States
would prove more fruitful is
problematical.
Here is the situation in the
six States facing at-large races;

on the plan drew enough sig
natures to keep it from going
into effect.
Result: AS things now stand
all the Representatives in all
six States will have to be elected
at-large.
In one-party Alabama and
Arkansas, the only question is
which of the Democrats will
survive the shake-out.
f. Parties Evenly Split
But the other four States are
real two-party backgrounds.
They have 80 Republicans and
80 Democrats in the House now
and will lose Z of their 7S
seats in the next Congress.
( A sweep of Massachusetts,,
Minnesota. Illinois and Penn
sylvania by the Republicans in
1862 would bring them within
a dozen votes of regaining con-
troll of the House. A sweep by
the Democrats, on the other
hand, would probably produce
a clesr-cut liberal" majority
in the House and break the
back Of resistance to such New
Frontier measures as Federal
aid to education and social Sc
curity medical care.
/ Political managers of both
parties are understandably
nervous about risking such
large stakes on the transient
political moods of Just four
States. The Republicans, as the
minority party with less to lose
and more to gain in 1862. seem
more willing to "go for broke"
than the Democrats.
"Safe" Districts Preferred
But the pressure for relief
from the at-large races is
heavy from incumbents of both
parties, who would much pre-
fer to run in their safe" home
districts than risk their polit-
ical lives in a Statewide con-
! test. 50
Many of these veterans are
little known outside their own
districts. They fear not only
the results next November, but
the danger that some "out-
slider" with a good Statewide
reputation or organization
might beat them in the pri-
mary.
These men have used their
considerable influence in the
House to try to push through
a bill to expand the member
ship of the body from its per-
1manently-authorized strength
of 435 to anywhere from 438 to
469.
These moves have beer
blocked so far this year. The
