HOME FASHIONS, 1868
Yellow Hues Are Popular
BY MARY L. VAUGHAN
Star Home FURNISHINGS Editor

Color and design are sharing the spotlight
this week at the International Home Furnishings
Market in Chicago, where hundreds of new lines
in home fashions have been introduced for view
ing by retailers from throughout the world
The trend toward formality continues in this
winters showings with many manufacturers
borrowing directly from museum pieces for their
reproductions.
That same look to tradition is also domi-
mating force in new fabrics with rustic homespuns
giving provincial designs a rural look while ex-
citing silks and brocades lend a note Of formality
Color Is Daring
Color in all areas Of design is more daring
sharper and gayer or in the opposite direction
more subdued while always more formal. Shock
ing shades contrast with primitive, earthly hues
Clear yellows follow through rich Colds to tawny
tones such as copper and bronze.
One national carpet company has introduced
It's new coors including Vibrant Green" deep,
forest green; Brass" a rich, glowing gold;
Spring Orchard" bitter green and Country
Pepper" hot color.
Elegance is the keynote in new fabrics with
one manufacturer naming the latest design col

quet," "Espana" or Country Manor"
Documentary patterns have become rich and
varied with colors providing clearer, more re-
freshing versions OF aged, faded museum pieces

to appeal to modernSts emerging from former
surroundings of tweeds and sturdy basics. Rich
velvet, silk, wool and cotton compete with new
orlons fiberglass and nylon in wide range Of
fabrics.
Patterns subtly play against patterns for
added interest. Large prints, diminutive florals
correlate with checks stripes and solids. Abstract
modern also has its place with some concerns
offering fabrics inspired by Primitive African
tribes or the restraint Of ancient Oriental
patterns.

Smith Promises Hearings
On Rights Bill in January

House OK

By ROBERT X. WALSH
Star stan Writer

House Rules Committee
Chairman Smith said today he
will hold hearings on the civil
rights bill reasonably soon in
January"
The sudden statement by
the Virginia Democrat will not
stop scheduled filing Of a
House petition on Monday in
an attempt to force the bill out
of the committee, however,
Speaker Mccormack and Judi
ciary Committee Chairman
Celler declared.
The stalemate over the meas
ure nevertheless seemed well
on the way to being broken.
House Republican Leader
Halleck disclosed that he
promised President johnson
today that G. o. P. members
would do everything possible to
get the bill out of committee
after about two weeks of hear
ings next month.
Passage Predicted
Mr.. Halleck expressed sur
prise when told of Mr.. Smiths
announcement. But he added
that the committee chairman is
a realist and that his decision
to hold hearings in January
was not pressured by fear Of a
discharge petition.
He said Mr.. Smiths words
indicate to me" that in all
probability the House will pass
the civil rights bill by the end
Of January.
Representative Brown Of
Ohio, ranking Republican on
the Rules Committee, also said
he was confident there will be
mo undue delay" in getting
the bill to the floor.
Mr.. Halleck was more spe-
cific. He said hearings probably
would start within a few days
after Congress reconvenes in
January and that mo more
than two weeks Of hearings
seem likely" He strongly limited
that all five Republicans on
the committee would vote to
clear the bill for House con-
sideration after that period of
hearings.
Speaker Mccormack showed
no great enthusiasm over Mr..
Smiths announcement. He
commented:
Il still think that the SUCCESS
ton to Judge Smith several
days ago is an excellent one. I
suggested that if the commit
tee held hearings in December
the bill would not be brought
up in the House until January.
The discharge petition is going
ahead"
Petition to Be Filed
Mr.. Celler, in emphasizing
that he still intended to file the
petition Monday, made clear
that he would do his best to
obtain the necessary 218 sigma
lures, if only to prod the Rules
Committee into prompt action.
THE Rules Committee should
serve as a traffic cop for legis-
lation and can either turn on
a red light or a green light" the
New York Democrat said. But,
we do not want the light to
be forever amber"
