When shopping for cotton fash ions you'll find there is a scarcity in sheer fabrics such as organdies and dotted Swiss; in drills, twills and denims;, also in bird's-eye k pique and other novelty weaves. The greatest selection of stylos this season arc made of pin-wale and waffle-weave pique, chani bray, gingham, shirting and seer sucker: ' But to make these classic weaves stretch as far as possible. designers oftan combine them wiin rayon. Used as the important upper half of the suit, the cotton top ap pears as a peplum-plealed over blouse; as a Mandarin-styled coat of pique buttoned up one side; as a natly jacket taemcd with a matching bandeau bra, which can step out to take its spot in the sun. .-Example of this hra-teamcd j:ritjhiiber a last, summer's fashion hit which has. been encored back' its shown left in an Adele Simp 1 soiirdesigncd suit with a top of blue chambray and skirt of black rayon crepe. .

Eisenhower Sees Successful Allied Control of Reich : PARIS June 15 (UP) Gen. Dwight 'D. Eisenhower said to; day he is. confident the four pow er'control' council' for Germany will be successful and that rela tions with Russia will be con ducted on a friendly basis of un derstanding. The supreme allied commander held a press conference here on the eve of his triumphal return to the United States. "On my level I found the indi vidual Russian the friendliest person in the. world," Eisenhower said. "He likes to talk and laugh with us. He likes us as allies and is darned glad to see us. I talked with the British and they feel the same way." Eisenhower told newsmen flat ly that the complete destruction of German cities by bombing had been entirely justified. Eisenhower was tanned and looking fit. He wore a battle jacket with the left breast ablaze with campaign ribbons and deco rations. "Peace lies with all peoples not with political leaders who may be trying to direct the des tiny of peoples along this line or that," he said in typically out spoken style. Asked if, he were looking for ward to. returning to his home town, Abilene, Kans., Eisenhower answered: "You bet. But when I think of facing the first five days' sched ule in the United States I do it with fear and trembling.

Simultaneously, the navy dis closed that it hr.d requested on May 30 that "startling" condi tions of loafing in the yard be corrected immediately. The yard's 170 machinists left first in mid-afternoon yesterday after three union members had been suspended for leaving a ship five miutes before the quitting time whistle. Elections followed and 3 p.m. the entire yard per sonnel had checkd out. A three-day suspension of 1" machinists last Saturday caused a protest for those days of the 170 machinists in' the yard, but they returned to work Wednes day. . The memorandum reveal ing the yard was wiitten by Lieut. Comdr. S. V, Shephard, assistant supervisor of shipbuilding for the 13th naval district. It stated that men had been observed sleeping and reading newspapers and magazines o the job. The union reply to this was a statement by M. E. McLaren, sec retary, of the Seattle metals tiade council, AFL, that live yard had been short of materials, forcing men to loaf. He said the com pany hesitated to lay off men be cause the additional materials were expected shortly. The men were suspended after the union advised them to ignore a new order prohibiting early quitting to put away tools.
