TALKING OF BUSINESS
Jumbo-Sized Customers Find
George & CO. Thinks Big, Too
BY JOHN SHERWOOD
Star stafi Writer

Ducking his head under the
doorway. the tall man came
into the clothing store and
asked for a shirt with a 22-
inch collar and 38-inch sleeve.
Harry Kohn, manager of the
unusual store at 910 Seventh
street NV, did not seem STAR
tied. Reaching up on tip-toes,
he measured the neck Of the
man leaning over to accom-
modate him. Mr.. Kohn Is 5
feet tall. The customer stood
2 feet, 2 inches.
Another shopper had a simple
enough request: Gray flannels,
Of average length. But he
needed go inches of material
to get around his waist.
Five Foot Orbit
Mr.. Kohn could not reach
around the fat man to measure
him, so he fastened one end
Of the tape under the custo-
mer's belt and walked around
him while holding on to the
other end. Sure enough, 60
inches.
Men come into George g. Co.,
Inc. asking: "Is this the store
for the fat MANI" and "Is this
Omar the tent-maker's placer"
1t is, but the six statesmen
working there think Of it as q
place where the big and the
tall can buy the latest in mems
clothing at regular prices.
They claim there is no longer
a need for the big man to go
to the expense Of having
clothes tailored for his size,
or be content with oversize
utility clothes. He can be par
ticular and demanding now.
The Awning Motif
At Georges the big man still
has to swing open both doors
to get through. but once inside
he can be outfitted with any
thing from 60-long overcoat
to candy-striped underwear
with a 68-inch waist that
stretches to accommodate a
few more inches of midriff.
IF the size of a mans waist
were the only thing we had to
worry about, it would be easy"
says Mr.. Kohn, who has been
fitting clothes at Georges for
16 years.
Once a basketball player who
stood several inches over 6 feet
tall put on a pair of pants for
a perfect fit. But his hands
were so large he couldn't get
them in the pockets. The tailor
on the second floor got busy
and gave him new pockets.
Some football players also
have special problems 20
inch neck. for example, with
massive chest and shoulders. A
shirt of this size has to be
tapered for the small waist.
I'VE also have to carry shirts
with 17-inch necks to fit men
with 60-inch waists" Mr.. Kohn
noted.
Other men require pants
with oversize seats. and some
regular customers have thighs
as big around as an average
mans waist

Rising Output

NEW YORK, Dec. S (AP).-
Iron Age Magazine predicted
today that the steel market will
close out 1862 on the rise rath-
er than In the doldrums FORE

Rising auto sales deserve
chief credit for the new
strength, the publication said
but there are also signs this
week that orders are increasing
from a broad range Of steel
users.
Steel demand still rests too
heavily on autos, however, to
wipe out all reservations, Iron
Age said. And absolute produc-
ton totals are still far short
of a genuine boom.
But for the moment, the
Woodworking weekly said the
industry seems to have at least
postponed the expected down.

Girth Control

The fat man who diets for
months is another challenge
for the clothier. With each
visit to the store he may have
lost S or 10 pounds until he
gets down to a tiny" $50
pounds. Wild with pride, he
goes on a chow spree. The
salesman goes back to the
old measurements when the
customer comes back at 375
again.
The typical height for a man
who deals at Georges is 6 feet
5 to 8 inches, says John Adler,
assistant manager. The average
fat mans waist there measures
from 48 to So inches.
The tall men have the big
feet, one salesman observed,
and the fat men the little feet.
The latter customer is not as
fussy about his clothes as the
tall man, but both are very
touchy about their size. They
often joke about their cloth
ing problem. however.
But the fat man has a de-
cided psychological advantage
over the tall man, at least
when he buys a belt. Even If
he weighs 375, there is Moth
ing like that illusion of taking
in a few notches.

NEW YORK, May 10 (AP).
-Four steel company execu-

Probe Of Bribe Report
Asked in Bugging Case

each Of these firms is seeking
to defeat the licensing requests

1t is against this BACKGROUND

The grand jury is trying to
pin down Just who was respon-
sible for bugging Mr.. Dungan's
room.
The stakes in the case be-
fore the Federal Power Com
mission total close to a billion
dollars-with each pipeline esti-
mated to cost a half billion.
Also at issue is which company
will be able TO transmit natural
gas to the booming California
market. For instance, it has

The FBI has been asked tc
find out whether q grand jury
witness was offered hush
money" in the Mayflower Hotel
bugging case.
However, it has been learned
that no decision has been made
on whether or not the FBI will
follow up on the request. There
apparently is some doubt
whether the Federal investiga-
tive agency can properly ster
into the case at this point.
The FBI itself has had only
no comment"
The grand jury, so far, has
questioned a private investiga-
tor and a second precinct police
private about reports that the
investigator, Wayne G. Barber,
33, turned an electronic caves
dropping device over to other
policemen under the impression
that the listening device was
to be used in an official in
veStigation.
Other Officers to be Called
United States Attorney Da-
vid c. AcheSon has said that
Police Inspector Joseph W.
Shimon and Second Precinct
Detective John A. Jones will
be called to testify before the
grand jury. Detective Jones
applied for retirement from
the police department last Sat-
urday.
Today Detective Chief Edgar
E. Scott held closed-door con-
ferences with Inspector Shimon
and Detective Jones. Deputy
Chief Scott reiterated a pre-
vious statement that police
would not formally investigate
the "bugging" until the grand
jury had acted. but it was
learned a stenographer was
taking notes. And Chief Scoot
was working on his usual day
off.
Mr.. Barber appeared at the
Special Investigations Office
today to apply for a special
police commission to act as a
security officer at the Burling-
ton Hotel. Inspector John L.
Sullican said a routine in
vestigation required in such
applications would not be COM
pleted until after the grand
jury completes its investiga-
ton.
The case became public last
month when Malcolm T. Dun
gan, a San Francisco lawyer, |
complained in a civil suit filed
in District Court that his May
flower Hotel room had been

tions held in the room about
a Federal Power Commission
case concerning a gas pipeline
were recorded by private in
vestigators in another room of
the hotel.
The El Paso Natural Gas Co.,
which Mr.. DUNCAN represents,
is seking a license to build a
pipeline from south of Salt
Lake City to the California
border. The proposal is to
transmit natural gas coming
down from Canada through
other pipelines and eventually |
