Fashion students fire.
quently find that working
with a real person in mind
helps them develop better de-
signs. New York's Traphagen
School of Fashion has Just
concluded a contest in which
all students were asked to
submit ideas for Mrs. Jac-
queline Kennedy and her
little daughter Caroline.
At the annual students
fashion show, the winning
designs were modelled, made
up from Kennedy pink or
CANDY donated by VIM. Lind
& Co. The clothes consisted
Of an evening ensemble of
coat and dress for Mrs. Ken
nedy, and a co-ordinated
coat and dress for Caroline.
The students showed their
awareness Of the First Lady's
preference for simplicity and
graceful lines. Student
Amelia Sierra, from Havana,
made the gown from designs
by Joseph La Vista.
The evening gown had a
simple fitted bodice, strap
less, over a gently belled
skirt which featured 10 mar
row layers above the tapered
hemline. The. coat to go over
1t had a straight front, but
a princess-gored back which
swept out into a very full
hemline.
A huge stand-up collar
framed the face, and the
dropped sleeves in balloon
fullness repeated the layer
motif of the dress.
The dress for Caroline had
a fitted, high-necked bodice,
string tie sash and full skirt
with three-tiered hemline.
Sleeves were short butterfly
style in two layers.
Her coat was sleeveless,
short, and in the same
straight-front, princess back

legal assistance division, Of
flee Of the Army Judge Advo-
cate General. She even pre-
cludes one from saying that
she is the first woman to
hold a key position in the
office of the JAG.
A regular officer in the 19-
year-old Women's Army
Corps, Col. Springfield said,
Lets just say the first since
World War II to hold such
an office"
Not too tall, with brown
hair, blue eyes and a charm
ing smile, she has an air of
quiet repoSe. But her enthu-
siasm for her new job knows
no bounds.
The legal assistance divi-
sion, she pointed out, super
vises a worldwide legal as
siStance program. We also
advise military personnel as
signed to the Pentagon."
Advisory
But she added, "Our func-
ton is entirely an advisory
one. We have worked out an
arrangement with the Ameri-
can Bar Association for nee
essary referrals to practicing
lawyers"
I'VE have a true attorney
client relationship as in all
legal practices. Our overall
program is one of preventive
procedures, educating the
soldier and his dependents
on the diverse law subjects
which might become prob
lens for them. Some of the
cases are vitality interesting"
Col. Springfield came to
Washington from Heidelburg,
Germany, where for more
than two years she was WAC
staff adviser to the Com
mander- in chief, USA, Eu-
rope, with the welfare of
1000 WACs in France and
Germany under her super
vision.
Her WAC career began 16
years ago as a private and
has included two previous
tours of duty in Washington,
one at Fort Lee, Va, and one
at Fort George G. Meade,

conner to this area.
She left the WAC for a
time after serving with the

When we moved into our
house 20 years ago, we had a
bat problem, too. I wrote to
the Department of Agricul-
ture asking how to get rid
of them, and they replied,
asking me why l wanted to.
They said that if you have
bats around the house, you
will never have mosquitoes.
This is true; we never do.
Sitting out of doors in the
evening is a pleasure with no
pests to bother us. The bats
leave in early fall.
Sometimes there is dirt on
the window sillS but that is
a small annoyance compared
to being bitten every time we
go outside.

US. Troops Roll Through East Germany Headed for ManeuverS

BERLIN M = American com bat soldiers rolled across Com munist East Germany yesterday in enother shuttle of armed troops over West Berlin's highway life- line.
 About 150 men of the 9th In- fantry Divisions 3rd Ba tile Group left West Berlin at dawn and headed across the 110-mile Soviet-controlled Autobahn for two days of training near Han over, West Germany.
 The Russians were notified in advance of the movement, which was interpreted as part of the continuing assertion of Allied rights to use of the superhighway between Cornmunist-surrounded West Berlin and West Germany.
 A similar movement of troops from West Germany to West Ber- lin for training last week was made without incident.

 His mother, Jennie Magazine, fell into a furnace pipe yesterday while trying to retrieve broom that had fallen into it.
 She couldn't get out and her screams awolke Ricly. 'sRun to the neighbors and get somebody to help me-" she said she told Ricky.
 His reply: s'Mommie I just have my underpants on. I'm ashamed to % outside. '' <.
 Mrs. Magazine begged and pleaded but Ricly wouldn't budge. Finally, after about half an hour, Ricky overcarne his shy ness and ventured next door to get help, clad in his underpants.
 The neighbor called police and by the time they arrived had Mrs. Ragazine out of the pipe.

Kennedy Says US. Will Defend The Frontiers Of Freedom

SEATTLE R - President Ken nedy yesterday pledged the Unit ed States a determined effort to keep other nations from slipping into neutrality or Communism in long struggle ahead for peace with freedom.
 Kennedy, in frank recital of the burdens of illustrations" in global conflict without arms, de- clared there can be no purely American solution for every world problem.
 He said the United States must scorn the role of war monger or appeaser. In a speech prepared for the University of Washing toms Tooth anniversary celebra- tion, he asserted:
 We are Americans, determined sto defend the frontiers of freedom, by an honorable peace if possible, but by arms if arms are used against us."
 With this candid statement that the United States cannot force it's will on other lands, Kennedy said "it is a test of our national ma turity that negotiations are not Ia contest spelling victory or de- Heat"
 Through negotiations, he said, tic free world can find out wheth- CT its vital interests can be pre- served by peaceful means or whether the Communists will ac- cept no less than a concession of it's rights.
 "But, Kennedy said, "while we shall negotiate freely we will never negotiate freedom" This is so, he added, even though war could precipitate total annihilation.
 For to save nankind's future 1 freedom, he said, i've must facs up to any risk that is necessary
 We will always seek peace lou l we will never surrender"
 Kennedy said the United State
 must work with countries lack ing freedom in order to strength en freedoms cause. With an cys
 on Southeast Asia ai,i Latir America, he said: ssWe are determined to prevent nations from adopting neutrality and to prevent certain others from abandoning t. z
 He specified no nation by name but could have been considering, among others, Finland-lnder in- tense pressure from its Soviet neighbor Afghanistan and Iran.

New Version Given On Arrest of Soviet Police Boss Lavrenty Beria


 WARSAW, Poland R = A sem sational new version of the ar rest of Soviet police boss Law renty Beria, purporting to come from Premier Khrushchev, was reported by Polish Communist sources Thursday.
 They said Beria brandished a pistol and was disarmed by Khrushchev himself who wrestled with him in a heretofore undis- closed meeting of the Communist party politburo.
 The informants said Beria later was tried and executed on Dec. B, 1853 in Azerbaijan. This date agreed with previous announce ments of the execution.
 The Polish sources told Vest ern newsmen they were present at a glass-clinking reception for about l 900 persons during the recent Soviet Party Congress in Moscow when Khrushchev launch ed into the story of his physical struggle with Beria.

Wave of Bank Mergers
DY SYLVIA PORTER

In Philadelphia. the pro-
posed merger of the 81 billion
Philadelphia National with the
Girard Trust Corn Exchange
would make the combined
bank the biggest in the region.
In Chicago, the merger Of
the $3.50 billion Continental
Illinois with the City National
would make the new bank the
biggest in that city.
Mergers Not Commonplace
These obviously are not
commonplace mergers. They're
consultations which must pro-
foundly affect the competitive
situation in each area and the
key reasons behind the trend
underline this point.
The movement toward d
branch banking, for instance
springs from the desire Of the
big city banks to follow fam
lilies and businesses to the
suburbs and get added profits
therefrom. The consultations
among big banks reflect their
desire to expand their capital
funds enough to meet the
needs of major industrial bor-
rowers. A bank which through
a merger can obtain top-notch
personnel, slash costs, expand
its services. is placing itself in
a superior competitive position.
Powerful though the forces
for the mergers apparently are,
the question of United States
policy on them remains un-
answered.

an era in which the big banks
are not only taking over
smaller ones but also are con-
solidating with each other
to create multibillion dollar
institutions. We are into Q
cycle in which the big city
banks are moving into the
suburbs not by forming new
ones but by merging with es-
tablished banks or joining
them via the device of q hold
ing company.
There's no doubt tn q t
