sOCHI, UssR. July 21.-
The traditional Russian pas
sion for concealment seems
to vanish into the sun
drenched air at this popular
Black Sea resort.
Nearly every woman, In

out on Sochi's stony beaches
In revealing bikinis.
Very few Russian women
have figures for bikinis. but
no matter. And no matter
that some Of the bikinis are
makeshift, meaning that an
ordinary pink brassiere serves
as the top.
The resulting display pro-
duced some varied reactions
from members Of Benny
Goodman's jazz band on its
tour of the Soviet Union.
Said one band member. as
he surveyed the acres Of sun
burned bulges. ''Who says the
Soviet Union has food

Another commented: rus
slams are the most unsexy
people I have ever SEEM"
The bullying figures are, Of
course. caused by the Rus
sian diet, which leans heavily
toward bread, potatoes, cab
bage. cake and tea with three,
four or five humps Of sugar.
Some young Russian
women are beginning to un-
derstand what such food can
do to q figure. A few Of
these girls were visible here,

but they were almost as rare

The desire for baroness has
gripped Russian men, too.
Many a male shows up in
bathing trunks as skinny as
those seen on the French
Riviera.
Gone are the days when
men considered it chic to
lounge about the beach in
striped pajamas. Only one or
two such males were visible.

phere of the beach does not

Skirts or Stacks must be
worn while walking to the
beach, even though the hotel
is only q stones throw from

almost anything goes. There
are only q few dressing cabins

bother to use them.

Mr.. Higgins, who first joined

body created by the compact,
is to prevent taxicabs in the
District from carrying sight
seerS to points in Maryland
and Virginia, the P. U. c. origi-
nally wrote the House Judiciary
Committee. The taxicab in
dustry in the District would
thus be deprived "of a sorely
needed avenue of earnings" to
supplement its income from
regular cab operations, the P.
U. c. claimed.
The P. U. C. felt the amend
ment would require the hackers
to get WMATC permission to
conduct sightseeing operations
to Virginia and Maryland.
Practically, this would be we'll
nigh impossible" the P. U. c.
said, thus tending to create a
monopoly in this business.
Part of Report
Now, however, the P. U. c.
has withdrawn its objections,
a report of the House Judiciary
Committee issued last week
shows. The reason for the re-
versal of its position. P. U. C.
letter printed in the report
shows, is a letter it received
from INMATES executive di-
rector, Delmer Ison.
The letter, printed in the Ie-
port, states that WMATC does
not intend to require taxicabs
engaging in normal sightSee-
ing operations" in the Wash
ington metropolitan area to OBJ
tain permission for these OPP
erations. In fact since the
P. U. c. objection was raised
June 20, the WMATC has dis
missed applications for such
permission on the grounds that
it was not required as long as
no scheduled or routed tours
are conducted.
The commissions proposed
amendment, already approved
by Virginia and Maryland, re-
ceived a favorable report from
the House Judiciary Commit
tee along with several other
compact amendments, one of
which would extend INMATES
geographical area Of authority
to include Dulles International
Airport.
Passenger Limit
The "taxicab" amendment
applies to a section of the
compact which states that
WMATC has no jurisdiction
with respect to issuing per-
mission for operating author
ity) over taxicabs and other
vehicles of eight passengers
or less.
The compact already defines
''taXicab" as a vehicle of eight
passengers or less which does
not operate between fixed
points on regular schedules
but solicitS business "along the
public streets and highways"
to destinations "as the pas
sengers may direct"

Arguments Heard Over Fare Reduction Rates

WASHINGTON R - Argu- ments over proposed reductions in rates on some jet flights be- tween Seattle and Fairbanks were heard yesterday by examiner Edward Stodola of the Civil Aeronautics Board.
 Pan American World Airways, proposes to reduce its one-way deluxe-class fare from $125 to $99 and it's one-way tourist-class fare from $99 to $90.
 Alaska Airlines Inc, which now charges $99 for only one class of service on the route, opposed the reductions on the ground they cannot be justified under normal rate-making standards.
 Pan American contended Alas ka is offering first class service at $99 rate.
 If Alaska's charge for this kind of service is proper, Pan Ameri- can said, it's proposed reductions in deluxe and tourist class fares are equally proper.
 Alaska said reduced fares can only increase the substantial oper- ating losses already being sus- tained by both carriers in the Seattle-Fairbanks market.

Public Hearing to Be
 Held for Establishing Fur Seal Processing Plant

JUNEAU R5 = A public hear ing has been scheduled by the Senate Resources Committee to investigate possibilities of proces- sing Pribilof Island seal skins in Alaska and ways of utilizing the first legal take of sea otter skins in 60 years.
 Senate Resources Committee Chairman B. J. Logan, D-Cor- dova), said yesterday the first meeting would be held in the Capitol Building in Juneau Jan. %.
 Logan said the meeting was ex- pected to run several days. He said a number of pioneer Alaska fur processors are expected to at tend, including Ed Shepherd of the Alaska Fur Factory and David Green of David Green F'urriers both of Anchorage. The sea otter take will be the first since strict protection laws were laid down to protect otter herds depleted by Russian hunt CTS.
 Logan said sea otter herds had been developed along the Aleu- tian Island chain to the point where limited commercial take was practical He said other herds are developing along the Alaska Coast and that it was hoped that a limited take will be permitted each year.

Chrysler Going Ahead With Gas Turbine Car
By Ben PhIegar


 DETROIT Rt-With Much of the nation shivering through it's cold est winter in years, an engine which claims instant starting at temperatures as low as 50 below zero would merit attention even if it had no other outstanding feature.
 And when developers of the en- zine add that it requires no anti freeze uses a single spark plug and runs for life on one filling of oil they they are certain to get full hearing.
 The type of engine in question IS a gas turbine and the particu- lar variety is one under develop ment by Chrysler Corp. for pas senger car use.
 On the basis of a recent 3,0O0- mile cross country test by a tur- bine-equipped Dodge Dart, Chrys- Ter has said it will build 50 to 75 turbine-driven cars within the next 18 to 24 months and offer them to selected private cus- toners.
 It's eventual aim is volume pro- duction for the general passenger car market.
 At the moment Chrysler is alone among the auto companies in it's public enthusiasm for turbine powered automobiles.
 General Motors and Ford, which have been involved on turbine projects as long or longer than Chrysler, see the power plant as a definite possibility for the mili- tary, and possibly for heavy duty trucks, but not as a replacement for the conventional internal com bustion engine in cars.
 George Huebner Jr., Chrysler's executive engineer research who heads the gas turbine project said just prior to the cross-coun try run last month that the othe companies have aimed too low. Our enthusiasm for the ga iturbine as passenger car power plant" Huebner said, s.may bs viewed inside their organizations with consternation.
 Our announcements will be greeted with feigned incredulity but the fact remains that they have yet to do what we have done"
 Such reaction was forthcom- ing last week. Donald Frey, as-. sistant general manager of Ford Division of Ford Motor Co, in a speech to the Philadelphia sec tion of Automotive Engineers, said Ford's turbine research indi- cates that presently, or in the immediate future, gas turbines are not economically feasible for cars.
 A gas turbine engine will run an almost any fuel which will flow compressed, then heated by the burning fuel in combustion chamber. Hot gases expand to drive the turbine wheels and de- liver power.
 A gas turbine is air cooled and has only about 20 per cent as many moving parts as an internal combustion engines. The turbine equipped Dodge averaged IT miles per gallon, burning diesel fuel, regular, premium and white gas.
 Illustrated brochures describ- ing the new engine are available from Larry Calvin, at the Nome Hardware Store, dealer for Chry- sler products.
