very good news stories were
missed or suppressed at the
White House in the 1905.
The Cannon book, for exam

Spellman diary on Feb. 10

President Seen Pushing Program
In Some Cases for Election Effect

President Kennedy has de-
cided that If he can't get the
votes in Congress for his
program he will at least have
the issues for campaign pur-
poses. -
Last week he added far
reaching consumer and con-
servation proposals to an
already heavy legislative
backlog. Both will run into
opposition from the same
conservative coalition of Re-
publicans and Southern DEM
ocrats which doomed the
Kennedy executive order set
ting up a Department of
Urban Affairs and Housing.
Such issues do not have
overwhelming national ap-
peal; none by itself could
swing a national or possibly
even a State election. But
they have an attraction for
more or less significant vot-
ing blocs; they also attract
crusader types who work
hard and speak up in politics.
They could be important,
therefore, in closely fought
Senate races and in congress
Sional districts. This is pre-
cisely where they are aimed.
The President does not want
nor could he afford to take
larger issues Of foreign policy
into such contests.
Republican leaders tacitly
acknowledged their grasp of
the Kennedy strategy when
they hastily massed behind
a Republican version of a
job retraining bill and
passed it with the votes of
even dedicated conservatives.

not seem over-excited about
the domestic program. The
only significant letter-writing
response to what goes on here
came with the Presidents an

does not help him much, for
it is about evenly divided for

Forfeiture Rules
In Point System
Case Upheld

The traffic penalty point
system in the District would
be destroyed and the public
would suffer" if the rules ap-
plying to forfeiture of collat-
eral in traffic accidents were
ignored, the Municipal Court
of Appeals said yesterday.
Alfred Jones, of the $500
block of Central avenue Sc,
had posted $25 collateral fol-
lowing a traffic accident on
November 9, 1861. In Janu-
ary, Mr.. Jones filed a motion
to set aside the forfeiture. It
was granted by Municipal
Court Judge Andrew j. How
ard, jr.
The Corporation Counsel's
office took the case to the
higher court and pointed out
that a section of the Municipal
Court criminal rules provides
that such a motion cannot be
filed after 80 days have elaps-
ed from the date of the for
feiture. Mr.. Jones filed So
days after he forfeited.
The higher court wrote that
the purpose of Mr.. Jones mo-
ton was to erase the three
traffic points he was assessed
once the forfeiture was noted

Italian ShoWinqs
Differ From Ours

everyone returns home or
goes to a for business-reasons
cocktail party, returning to
the palace for a second ses-
sion vaguely beginning some
where around 8 pm.
Models are taller, appear
ing more so in Spindle-heeled,
needle-toed pumps. The uni
form shoe for an American
model is a blunt-toed pump
with a two-inch wooden
stacked heel.
MannequinS in New York
have begun to square off
their shoulders, stick out their
chests, suck in their tummies.
The models here. with few
exceptions, are slouch-shaped
with rounded shoulders, con-
cave spines and a. mincing
walk.
Italian designers do not
fear taking the play away
from their costumes by
using startling accessories.
Popular with the top-knot
coiffeurs here are pillboxes
with crowns so exaggerated
they don't come close to the
hair. Some hats are reduced
to the last denominator-a
loop or two of colorful felt
or a fluff of fur.
In America reporters and
buyers have just seen a rash
of Rajah suits, tunicS, sariS,
sacks, Embroidered coats and
suits, costumes muffled by
scarves, clothes with a mas
culine influence and some
clothes that hark back to the
days of Garbo, Lombard and
Dietrich.
Here there is no Far
Eastern fashion influence.
BeltleSS sheaths don't hug
but fit close to the body.
There are fur-trimmed and
scarf-type suits, but clothes
are trickier here. Scarves,
sleeves, capeS, or coats may
be buttoned or unbuttoned
to be any or all of these
things.

FLORENCE, Italy, July 81
There's a difference be-
tween American and Italian
fashion shows-in mode, pace
and models.
Another thing, men here
like women to be women
and the masculine influence
has no place at all.
American buyer and press
shows staged in showrooms
or hotel bathrooms, can't COM
pare with the old world splen-
dor of Pitt Palace, where
the Florence style show is
being held. Everywhere some
what unclad Renaissance
figures watch curiously from
tapestries, sculptured corners
and intricately carved cell
'ngs as 20th-century fashion
activity takes to the spot
light.
In the United States, pre-
views either move at a
hectic pace from showroom
to showroom or sit intermi-
nably at coffee-stained tables
to observe a marathon of
some 600 costumes a day,
straight through the lunch
hour.
Here, a pair of designers
participates in an afternoon
program that supposedly be-
gins at 2:30 pm. But nobody
thinks of settling down in
his canvas camp chair at
that time. For at least an
other half hour the audience
mills around slipping bever-
ages and chattering.
The first designer may
show some so styles or, if so
inclined, may send several
hundred onto the T-shaped
runway. Before the second
designer begins there is an
other coffee and chatter in
termiSsion. After his show

Falls Church Asks
Right to Testify
For CounciImen

Falls Church City Attorney
LaRue Van Meter filed a peti.
ton yesterday in Fairfax Cir
cult Court asking that the city
be allowed to appear as ar
interested party in the suit
brought against four city coun-
cilmen.
If the petition is granted the
city could testify in court.
The suit was brought June 9
by William Pierce, a former
member of the city school
board. He contends that the
four councilmen, who are also
employees of the Federal Gov
ernment, are violating an old
Virginia law that prohibits
Federal employees from holding
local office.
If he were to win his case,
all actions of the city council
during the tenure of the -four
councilmen could be invali-
dated, Mr.. Van Meter said.
The councilmen named in the
suit are Samuel ]. Dennis
Thomas R. Jones, Lee Rhoads
and Harold Silverstein.

The final chapter in the fan
taStic Drinks robbery saga
that began more than a dozen
years ago will be closed soon
when 100000 in reward money
is paid.
More than 20 persons includ-
ing a police chief have filed
claims to the money. put up by
embarrassed Drinks officials
shortly after II Halloween
masked bandits robbed the Bos-
ton counting house of 81 ,219,000
in cash.
The deadline for filing claims
was yesterday. Ten persons
barely beat it by sending in
their bids to a five-member
committee.
If the entire 100000 reward
money is paid to one or more
of the claimants. it will have
been a poor exchange for
Drinks. Only $56,0O0-or as
per cent of the biggest cash
haul in the Nations history
ever was recovered.
Final Chapter
The reward represents the
last chapter in the story that
began on the night of January

robber gang are serving life
sentences at Walpole State
Prison after their conviction in
1856, six-and ne-half-years

WAVES Hail Anniversary
By MOHANIMED RAUF, Jr.
Star Staff Writer

BAINBRIDGE, Md, July
81 Twenty-two-year-old
Lotus P. Bugbee's lustrous
hair reached to her waist.
She was very proud of it. So,
no wonder she wept when,
10 weeks ago, a barber at
tached to the WAVE train
ing center here clipped her
treSSes to regulation neck
length.
But yesterday dark-eyed
Lotus, of Kailu, Hawaii, was
the toast of everyone at the
center when she was grad
uated first in the latest
batch of seamen-apprentice
company of 81 WAVES to
proudly march past Under
secretary of Navy Paul B.
Fay, who told them that be-
cause of them the country
will be better place.
The graduation exercises
conceded with two other i'm
portant events at the Naval
Training Center here.
First, the days events were
in celebration of the goth
anniversary of the founding
of the WAVES.
Second, it also was the
goth anniversary of the
founding of the Brainbridge
center.
Others Win HOnOrs
Besides Miss Bugbee. other
girls who stole the show were
Noreene Haprian, "a, Of Fort
Lauderdale, Fla, and Kay
Ouimet, 10. of Napa, Calf.
Miss Bugbee not only was
judged the Honor Woman in
her company but also was
the recipient of the Ameri-
can Spirit Honor Medal for
leadership and devotion to
duty. During G training she
was the Recruit Chief Petty
Officer of her company.
Miss Haprian was honored
for being the Recruit Com
mander, and Miss Ouimet
pronounced I'VE mayO was
honored for being the as
sistant Recruit Chief Petty
Officer.
The girls, who now will
disperse for higher training,
expressed a d e finite view
that, in spite of military
training, they are not pre-
pared to surrender any of
their privileges as women.
Said Miss Bugbee: "Of
course, we still expect men to
open the door for us. We
want to make it clear that
we are ladies first and
WAVES afterwards"
Greater Maturity
She said that 10 weeks of
training at the center meant
a great step toward matur-
ity for them.
THE drill was hard. The
discipline was hard. But it
knocked off a lot of our
sloppiness and made better
women out of u.s." she said.
She was seconded by Miss
Haprian. who said: This
training in how to budget
our time and how to lead an
organized life VIII help us to
be better wives and mothers.
Before we came here we
thought we were we'll
groomed. But now after this
training in how to be tip
top in dress and everything,
do we realize how little we
knew before we came here"
Drill Exhibition Applauded
Miss Ouimet concurred by
adding that the training g
taught them clarity of
thought and brought to them
a deeper understanding of
things.
The part of the ceremony
which drew the most ap-
