British Girls Same Bust As Marilyn That's All LONDON Wl A clothing in dustry council reported Wednes day the average British woman has a 36 W inch bust same size as Marilyn Monroe. End resem blance.

"Definitely dumpy," was the verdict of a London couturier. And he wasn't talking about Hollywood's Marilyn. unsatisfied wage claims are sim mering in Britain's industrial areas, but the electricians have brought their dispute into the open. Their Communist-led union called out 30.000 workers in a one day strike Monday. The number that responded was not announced, but those who stayed away were locked out Tuesday by the em ployers in a "tit-for-tat" move. A nationwide railway strike for higher pay was barely staved off four weeks ago just as Parliament recessed for Christmas. When the members reconvened Tuesday they found that approx imately five million workers were demanding higher wages. These included skilled craftsmen such as those in the machine tool and shipbuilding industries. The electricians dispute already has halted work for five days al five British atomic plants. British employers have stiffly opposed wage boosts on the grounds they would increase pro duction costs and price vital ex ports out of the world market.

WHAT IS GOING ON AT 114 N. ROSE ST.? Portlander Gets Divorce; Has To Pay $100,000 PORTLAND Wl Harvey F. Diclr -."on 5 contseted divorce this week must pay upward of $100,- oou 11 behau ot his wife, who had filed a counter-suit for separate maintenance. Circuit Judge Virgil Langry, who sam mac n Mrs. uick naa Deen "moderately pleasant" to her hus band the marriage likely would have continued to exist, directed these payments: $16,000 to meet bills run up by Mrs. Dick while shopping shortly after Dick filed suit for divorce; $10,000 toward her attorney fees; and an $80,000 prop erty settlement to her. The judge said the $80,000 prop erty sememem was based on Dicks testimony that his worth was $800,000. He has been active in financial and other fields here. Dick charged mental cruelty in his suit. His wife responded with the same charge and added he was infatuated with another woman. The judge in his decision said that while there was fault on both sides, had Mrs. Dick "been moder ately pleasnnt and had she not pro voked arguments during the years when plaintiff was devoting himself to her and the marriage, this court believes that the marriage would in fact exist today. The court fur ther believes that plaintiff woidd not then have commended his friendship with the other woman." The "other woman" was not named.
