His political speech in Chicago

There are other factors, too,
that cause lessening Of influence
by retired President. It is doubtful
when he took office that Gen.
Eisenhower appreciated the advice
he received on the lecture platform
from a former President Truman.
| Certainly the Administration is
vulnerable and no one believes
that a former President should re-
main silent when he thinks things
are going badly. But the Old Eisen-
hover would have come up with
some positive suggestions. Many
would listen closely to what he
proposed and undoubtedly rally to
his side.
By the negative approach a

President can, of course, seriously
damage the new Administration

torate. There is even less question
that he looms larger than Richard
Nixon and Barry Goldwater, put
together.
Gen. Eisenhower holds no office
and has no regular forum, yet
what he has to say carries great
weight. This Is so because he u.s.
ually speaks with restraint and
always with conviction. These
qualities have won for him nation
wide esteem.
The American people seem to
like the image Of their President
to be that Of a man above pol
itics.
But esteem carries along with
it political power. 1t is Gen. Eisen-
hower's use of that power, as a
spokesman and leader of the pol
itical opposition, that now gives
cause for some concern.
Since his retirement there seem
to have emerged two General
Eisenhowers. One is the mellow,
good-humored, natural philosopher
who appeared with Walter Conk-
hite on CHS television and spoke
in a relaxed manner about what
he hoped to accomplish while in
The White House, as well as his
disappointments.
This was the familiar Eisen-
hover, the good man who had re-
tanned his hold on the publlc's
affections during eight years of
relative tranquility. This was
the Ike that Democrats also
liked.

chief designer for the firm
that exports extensively
throughout Scandinavia,
Muokko ESkolin- NurmeSni-
emf, whimsically places a
big kangaroo pocket smack
in the front of a dress, or
on a sleeve. Functionalism is
a real hallmark of the Finn
iSh fashions.
Whether the mekko is a
tent shape, a short skirted
beach shift, an apron dress
or a back buttoning coat
dress, each is easy to wash,
to iron and seems to last
the longest time.
One misconception the Am
baSsador's wife would like to
straighten out is that Fin
land is cold around the year.
Says she, Our summers are
ideal with temperatures
ranging from II to So. Days
are pleasant and nights are
cool, a happy combination"
Mekkos are practically a
summer uniform for Finnish
women. Many young women
find them perfect for town
wear, too. Right now, Mrs.
Seppala thinks that stripes
are the pattern craze while
not too long ago peasant
art forms expressed in con-
temporary prints dominated
the textile scene in mekkoS.

Finnish textiles and the
design skill of a husband

tributing factors that have
helped to put Finland on the
fashion map these past 10
years. Armi Rata and her
husband, WHO, are credited
with giving the "mekko"

In a country where 80 per

that a new casual concept
in clothes would emerge.
