Small Change
The mystery about the
new lines should be but
never is total, curiosity being
the woman's and the Pari-
sienne's main defect! Some
facts may be taken for sure.
There is definitely going to
be a small change in the

an inch (maximum) and

it, sometimes not even to
every model. considering

much shorter than her sis
ter in America, this change
will hardly be noticeable in
the States.
Much more important is
the fact that the waist is
bound to come back-in
some collections. Dresses,
and especially jackets and
coats, will be curved again
and the princess form will
reappear, slightly altered.
Many of the new lines will
be asymetric and their main
trick will lie in the move
ments with hidden pleats
and bias cuts.
Nina Ricci promises a new
style, the Skin dress" called
so in English, meaning a
tight upper part with, often,
a fuller skirt. Unfortunately
for many q woman the new
fashion promises to be for
very slender figures. But If
one looks around. one can
always find something suit
able, because the collections
are going to be full of diff
ferent varieties with a dress
for every woman.
Dominating colors will be
gold, ochre, coffee and topaz
in all shades, but bright
colors such as blue, red and
green, will still be inspired
by the Orient. Fabrics will
be very soft and moulding,
thick but featherlight for the
day, and in heavy silk, mus
lin, velvet and lace for the
evening.
Hats will be worn more
and more, and even in Paris
Mrs. John Kennedy has def
nitely inspired this industry:
The pillbox will be in FASH
ion and most hats are going
to be worn off the face, on
the back or the side of the
head. Shoes will be more
sophisticated, especially for
the evening. Some will be
covered with lace; some will
carry real wigs"

Rx for Comfort

In the process of bridging genera
tions-from grandparents to grand
children, for example-there are GER
tain tried and trusted accessories. The
rocking chair is one and, fortunately,
the eccentricitieS of modern design have
failed to relegate it forever to the musty
corners Of attics or even to the whimsical
fashions Of the antique Shoppe. 1t is, in
shape, gracious creation of mans
handlwork and, in use, comforting
one. There are variations-the Boston
rocker, for instance, high of back and
austere of appearance, but generous in
its proportions and skillfully engineered,
or the platform rocker, sort of COM

Russia Rebuffed

Dag HammarSkjold was not taking
any great risk at this time in telling
the members of the General Assembly
that it was for them to decide whether
he should resign or stay on. For the
Russians, as the ovation accorded Mr.
HammarSkjold made clear, could not
possibly muster the two-thirds vote
required to GUST the Secretary General.
1t does not follow, however, that
this rebuff to the Russians is meaning
less. Their attack on Mr.. Hammarskjold
has raised fraud, hypocrisy and the
outright lie to a new level in interna-
tional relations. Without even attempt
ing to produce supporting evidence, they
have accused the Secretary General
of all manner of offenseS, including
completely in the murder" of Patrice
Lumumba. Someone had to nail this
Soviet lie, and since the General Assem-
bly, didn't do it, it was proper and
desirable for Mr.. Hammarskjold to take
the initiative.
In 1852, the Russians forced the
resignation as Secretary General of
Trygve Lie by refusing to deal with him.

same thing in Mr.. HammarSkjoldS case.
They say they want to replace him
with a three member presidium in
which the Communists would exercise
veto power. But the fraudulent nature
Of this proposal is too transparent and
its destructive character too self-evi-
dent. The Assembly members know its
adoption would signal the doom Of the
United Nations as functioning agency,
and their applause for Mr.. Hammar-
skiold signifies their unwillingness to
buy" this Communist phony package.
So the U. N, with Mr.. Hammar-
skiold as its executive agent, seems
assured of a new lease on life. His
term expires two years from now, how
ever, and at that time either he or a
successor will have to be chosen. In
this, the Russian veto power will come
into play, and thus they will then be able
to destroy the U. N. If they wish to do so.

ConqoIese Immoturity

United Nations officials in Leopold
Vile have just published a report that
leaves no room for doubt about the
enormous difficulties involved in trying
to establish law, order and a viable
society in the Congo. Thus, in the re-
ports blunt language, that vast and
turbulent country-wholly apart from
its bitter tribal rivalries, its political
divisions and the ever-present threat
Of civil warts imperiled by mounting
imitation, juvenile gangsterism and a
breakdown of public services. More
over in spite of the U. MS repeated
warnings to the central and provincial
authorities, mo practical measures have
been taken so far to check or alleviate
the danger of further disintegration."
What makes the situation seem
particularly discouraging is that the
Congo's relatively literate citizens-the
ones who have had some schooling and
who have been trained for skilled office
work and administrative duties-show
little interest in doing a good Job or
acting with sense Of civic responsibility
A striking case in point has to do with
the CongoleSe who are supposed to be
taking over management of the country'S
banks. According to the U. N. report,
they "have used Africanization as a
preteXt to formulate new demands. All
these demands, without exception, per-
tain to higher salaries, higher indem-
mites for all kinds of services, shorter
working hours and free lodging"
In sum, as the report has put it,
these more advanced of the Congo's
citizens have raised hardly a voice to
suggest better discipline or stricter
working conditions. Instead, they have
indicated that doing something for their
country is Of less Importance than
getting on the gravy train and doing
something for themselves, regardless of
how it may hurt the common welfare.
This what's-in-it-for-m attitude, of
course, is not unique, but it appears to
be especially acute among the CongoleSe,
and it amounts to political and economic
immaturity of kind that helps to ex-
plain why independence can be curse
rather than a blessing when bestowed
too swiftly on a people not quite ready
for 1t.

Filling q Void

The move by the new Washington
Metropolitan Transit Commission to fix
taxicab fares for trips across the
District boundaries constitutes a mile
stone in public control of transporta-
ton in this area. Interstate bus, truck
and other transport operations long have
been under the control of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. But taxicabs
have had free hand in setting fares
for trips outside of the city.
Into this regulatory void has stepped
the new regional transit agency-in the
interest Of protecting the public against
exorbitant charges made by some un-
ethical drivers. There have been many
complaints in years past, especially
from tourists, about high fees charged
for relatively short trips into nearby
Virginia or Maryland Neither the
District Public Utilities Commission nor
State authorities had authority to take
remedial action, however.
The staff of the new commission
has recommended list of charges for
specified trips out of the District and
vice versa. For example, the approved
fare to the Pentagon from downtown
Washington would be $1.50 for one
passenger and SITS for two. A trip to
the National Airport would cost SITS
for one or So for two passengers. The
rates will not be officially adopted until
the pubic has had chance to express
its views. Reputable cab companies
should welcome the Intervention Of the
ice M
gouging practices by a few operators
that have tended to bring the cab
industry in general into diSrepute.

Birch Society's Aims

l am willing to wager that
tie Minute Men were called
all kinds of names, and they
themselves called all kinds of
names to the respected"
citizens in those days. 1t is
most likely that many a
Stanch patriot colonist who
did not believe in fighting
fire with fire was called a
"card-carrying Whig." Today
we have a statue erected to
honor those "un-American"
Americans.
The Minute Men came into
being because many we'll
meaning coloniSts were not
doing anything to fight the
enemy. For the same reason
Robert Welch and his friends
have founded the John Birch
Society. When people of a
country are frustrated, when
they observe that the respon-
Sible Government officials are
not taking proper action
against the enemy, they get
together and organize such
SocietieS-right or wrong.
Since 1947. when the Com
munist Russian conspiracy
was made public in Fulton,
Missouri. no one in Govern
ment has done a thing to set
back the Communist powers,
even one inch. Instead, the
Communists have been push
ing their line, inch by inch,
toward their goal-the United
States. Today, the Commu-
nists have more territory and
people under their hammer
and sickle than they had at
the end of World War II, and
they are still going strong.
No one has raised a finger to
push them back one inch. All
We do is try to stop them.
Let us not judge the John
Birch Society without find
ing out what Is its aim. If
its aim is to fight the Com
munistS who are working
among us here in America,
it had better disband and go
home. We have the FBI to do
that work, and it is doing q
good job. If they have any
information that will help the
FBI let them pass it on to
them. The FBI knows how to
handle such problems. And
no one can accuse the FBI of
being Communists or sympa-
thizers.
But if their aim is to fight
the Communist power
abroad. if their plans include
to defeat. or weaken, or push
the Communist vanc e S
back, then they are welcome.
We surely need them. With
out hesitation I can say that
it will be the only organiza-
tion in America to fight the
Communist powers. Who else
is fighting the Communists?
Not the Army, Navy, or the
Air Force. Not even the CIA.

The advertisement actually

Knowinq the Reds

Billy Graham hes the right
idea in recommending that
communism be taught in our
schools. Much can be said,
however, as Lo who should
teach it and how it should
be taught. Certainly the
brained-waShed Reds should
be ruled out in selecting
teachers for the job.
Communism should be stu
died with the sam e objec-
tive and in the same manner
as students of sociology
study vice, as criminologists
have studied crime and as
medical students study in
fectious diseases. They do not
contract leprosy by studying
it. Communism is moral lep-
rosy and should be taught as
such. The psychiatrist was
in no real danger Of becom-
ing insane when, as a stu
dent, he made a study of the
various forms Of insanity.
The doctrine of Karl Marx,
Lenin and old Khrush can
appeal to only the mentally
warped who should not be in
school.
What have we to fear by
having normally rational and
intelligent people fully in
formed on the subject? In
the light Of plain and un-
vanished truth such enlight-
eminent will be a most effec-
tive prevention of infection.

Crusodes

Constantine Browns "The
Children's Crusade of 1861"
took the words out of my
mouth.
The idea of the Peace
Corps bringing to mind that
long-ago crusade ddeahstic
in concept, impractical of
execution and tragic in con-
sequence) seemed too fan
tastic to be taken seriously
by responsible adults. Hence
the lack Of opposition which
amazes Mr.. Brown, may we'll
be because many, like myself,
felt if we paid the scheme no
mind. it would certainly go
away.
We are told that Peace
Corps applicants are to be
carefully screened. But what
if by one of those human
errors (from which not even
Democratic administrations
are totally immune), some
one with a CLEAN in his eye
instead of a star, slips by?
Will diplomatic immunity
take care of him? Or will our
Government turn the Of
fender over to whatever local
reprisalS prevail? Again -
should any native to whom
these youths are so charit-
ably sent, proving less than
grateful, make one a victim
rather than a savior, what
then? Will the United States
hold such a native, respon-
Sible for his crime against
one of our own, or will the
United States consider a
Peace Corps member expend-
able in the name of brother
hood?
Before vast sums of money
and, more important, young
lives, are invested in this
scheme, it should be pom
dered long and thoroughly,
not only by theorists, but by
the most practical OF realists.

Mqhtmore in the Mokinu?

In its latest report on the subject,
the United Nations predicts that the
worlds population will exceed billion
before the end Of the year. The pre-
diction is based on a new, up-to- the
minute compilation of vital statistics
from all parts of the globe, and its
chief significance is this: It serves as
yet another SOLDERING reminder that
human beings are multiplying at rate
so tremendous that their steady and
swift increase is bound to have pro-
foundly farreaching social, political,
economic and military influence on the
life Of peoples everywhere.
AS set forth in the new report, which
has been prepared by the U. MS Depart
ment of Economic and Social Affairs the
magnitude of this increaSe-actual and
oSpective-seemS altogether Stagger-
ing. Thus, AS Of now, mankindS num-
berS are growing by between As million
and SIS million every year. Hence, since
this rate of multiplication is expected to
continue without let-up Tin point of
fact, it may zoom upward through the
remainder of the century,, our global
population promises to expand by at
least as much as $50 million each decade,
or by figure approximating 2.5 billion
between now and 1000 A. D.
So our world is fast approaching the
time, mere 80 years from now, when
its population, instead of being around
billion as at present, will be no less than
billion plus. Actually, as pointed out
in the U. N. study, this is conserva-
tive estimate Of the expected increase.
More than few demographers fore
cast much higher figure. In their
opinion, which assumes that no
catastrophe peStilence or all-out nuclear
war will occur in the meantime, our
planet may we'll be peopled by no fewer
than or billion before the century
ends-a prospect full of revolutionary
potentialitieS in terms of such things as
food, housing, education, employment
opportunities, law enforcement, traffic
control and the military balance of
power
U. N experts are already on record
with good commentary on this outlook.
AS excepted from special 1858 study,
1t reads as follows: More disturbing
than the projected figure Of a popula-
ton amounting to 5000 or 1000 million
is the fact that 1t probably will be
attained so soon. At the time Of writing,
the year 1000 is no further in the future
than the year 1914 is in the past. Not
only technical achievement but progress
in international cooperation and or
ganization will have to be more effective
than during the past If the expected
numbers of mankind are to be organiza-
tionally and technologically accom-
modated to the minimum conditions
required for human dignity"
That states the case mildly.
Certainly the pace Of humanity'S growth
constitutes problem whose significance
can hardly be exaggerated, and men
and their governments, much as they
might like to, simply cannot wish it
away. The challenge must be met with
intelligent action. Otherwise the So
called population explosion may become
a nightmare for the entire world.
