There's a new, booming industry in
the U. S. today which is so huSh-hush
that one of its leaders calls it "the In
duStry which isn't an industry and
adds fatty, eve don't like any publici-
ty al ALL"
The business already runs into hun
dreds of millions of dollars a year, is
now spreading from New York, heart of
the fashion industry, into cities across
the nation. Yet, it's so secret that every
segment in it manufacturer, retailer,
customer - resentS publicity, advertiS-
ing is next to zero, many advertising
media won't accept its ads or even
mention the industry's existence and no
hard statistics are gathered or revealed.
This secret business is cut-rate haute-
couture - the sale of the highest fash
ion, most expensive, original dresses,
Sulte and coats in questionable, plain
pipe-rack shops at prices often below
wholesale and representing savings
from the initial prices running to hun
dreds Of dollars per item.
In New York City alone, at least
three new high fashion discount stores
have opened in the past Il months and
more are planned. The two largest
chains - Loehmann's, biggest and old
est in the business, and Bolton'S-For-
mans now have a total of 10 stores
in the city and suburbs. Bolton's-For-
mans has boosted its annual gross from
$189, 900 in 1854, the year the company
was formed, to $2.4 million today, ex-
poets to expand its present four-store
chain to Washington and Chicago soon.
If you walked into one of these
modest, unassuming stores located well
off the gold-plated clothing track, you'd
see an unforgettable sight: dozens of
beautifully dressed ome pulling dres-
ses off iron pipe racks, trying them On
in crowded community dressing rooms,
having whispered conversations with
~salesgirls about the identities of de-
signers Of particular dresses, then check
ing out their final purchases at cash
registers as though the costly TENS
were bags of groceries.
If you are fashion conscious, the de-
signers' names and price tags would
stun you, for you'd find samples from
the greatest names in United States
fashion: Trigere, Norman Norell, Dior.
You'd see a new, unchanged f0Afeg

Knowing, from the eagerness

tells his myrmidons that we

business men, he hints that our

might have resulted in nuclear
war. So it is the disbursements

he needed a nuclear testban for
reasons best known to himself.
In addition to this there were
murmurs of trouble in the cap
tive nations, where the peasants
were engaging in a showdown.
So we proceeded to relieve
Khrushchev's tensions on all
these items. The test ban was
accepted. Canada sold Moscow
its surplus wheat. We sold corn
to Hungary. The grain sales
meant that die eastern Euro
pean satellites would be fed.
With his worries about control
ling the satellites thus relieved,
Khrushchev could now face Mao
Tse-tung without fear Of a pos
Sible two-front struggle. AS for
the Soviet hostages in Cuba, we
guaranteed KhruShchev'S"tech

suppressing any anti Castro Gu
bans who might be in a posi-
ton to make trouble for them.
You might thing that such
magnanimity toward a m a

rections would evoke a little
gratitude. But old Khrush is not

to sell him even more wheat,
he plays coy about taking ours.

From The National Observer
Many studies have been made
of why people get sick W h n
they travel, and they incrimi-
nate everything from bacteria
in bad food, or impure milk or
water, to allergies, viruses, and
the weather. Whatever the
cause, though, the result is an
upset stomach.
Whenever someone travels
from one place to another -
particularly to a foreign coun-
try 80 he's exposed to a diff
ferent set Of bacteria than mis-
system is accustomed to. He
often contracts various mild ILL
nesses, usually gastrointestinal
upsets, which continue until his
system can build an immunity
to the alien bacteria.
But some illnesses that occur
when people are travelling can
be serious, particularly since
it's often impossible to get med
ical help right away. So it's
advisable to have a general idea
Of what to expect, and to be
prepared with simple remedies.
The most likely travelling i'll
nesses' include various kinds of
food poisoning, food allergy, cpl
demic vomiting, and appendi-
citis. Of all these hazards, food
poisoning is probably the most
common - particularly during
hot weather and where refrige-
ration is inadequate.
Bacteria Are the Villains
There are three types Of
food poisoning: Poisoning caus-
ed by contamination of food by
staphylococcal bacteria, poison
ing due to contamination Of food
by salmonella germs, and botu-
ism - poisoning caused by
bacilli, (rod-Shaped bacteria)
sometimes found in foods Inn
properly canned or preserved.
The last condition is far rarer
than the first two.
Staphylococcal or salmonella
poisoning is contracted by eat
ing improperly refrigerated and
stored meats, cold cuts, frank
furters, dairy products, and
vegetables. Custard and cream
pies are notorious sources Of
staphylococcal food poisoning.
In staphylococcal food poison
ing, nausea, vomiting, abdonli-
nal pain, and diarrhea occur
within a few hours after the con-
taminated food is eaten, and the
victim feels as if he had a Sc
we're case of grippe. In sal
monella food poisoning it takes
somewhat longer for the Symp-
toms to appear, but the vic

1O2 degrees in addition to severe
gastrointestinal upset.

Kennedy Already Campaigning
David Lawrence

WASHINGTON, - The Repub-
licanS haven't chosen their
presidential candidate yet, but
President Kennedy has already
begun his campaign for re-elec-
ton. What are billed as mon
POLITICAL trips are really oppor-
tunities to cement political
friendships and to visit with the
local leaders = an important
piece Of political campaigning in
itself.
Mr.. Kennedy was this week
end in Florida primarily, it is
announced, to take a first-hand
look at the work being done
on the new U. S. moons h 0 t
facilities. He was briefed on vari-
GUS aspects of the program and
on other phases of the civilian
space projects, and will wit
ness the launching Of a Polaris
Az missile.
Now, all Of this is within the
legitimate purview of the presi-
dental office, but the question
arises whether the trip was
purpoSely arranged for the in
spection Of the space projects
or whether the visit to Cape
Canaveral is just an excuse to
mend political fences in Flori-
da. The Tampa Times, an in
dependent paper and one of the
largest and most influential dali
les in the state, said editorially
the other day:
president Kennedy's trip to
Florida next week is billed as
non-political. That, of course,
fools nobody. No president less
than a year from a bid for re-
election takes non : political
trips. Mr.. Kennedy will be max
ing a strong appeal for votes
and support in an attempt to
swing florida out Of the Re
publican column which it occupi-
ed in the last three presidential
races.
"What are his prospects? The
best guess is that they are not
good. But the real answer to
that question must wait until
Republicans choose their 1864
slate.
FLORIDA gave its electoral
votes to the Nixon-Lodge ticket
in 1860 by a slim margin. But
a short time after John F. Ken
nedy took office his popularity
here scared. It was obvious
then that if he lived up to his
early statements and committed
no serious errors. Florida world

an serious errors, Florida
"But it wasn't long before the
cards began falling wrong for
the bright, young man in the
White House. Laos and Cuba, a
couple of deuceS, turned up
when aces we're needed. Nobody
really blamed Kennedy at first
for the Bay of Pigs disaster.
Cuba, after all, was inherit
ed problem. But it wasn't long
before the new administration
demonstrated an inability to
handle Castro which equalled,
if not transcribed, that of the
old administration.
