NEW YORK-Cotlon is going
to ' war in--vast quantities.
Amounts may be stepped up even
more to me '. war demands in the
Pacific theater, with the result,
that supplies of summer cotton
fashions arc limited, and may
take further.,. cuts.
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.

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. "

Shipyard 'Loafing'
Controversy Ends
In Strike of 2,500
SEATTLE, Jure 15 (UP) The'
Lake Washington shipyards were
idle today following a walkout of
2,500 workers in protest against
the suspension of several union
members for quilting too early.
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.

Woodell Clan To
Meet June 24 For
Annual Reunion
The 38th annual reunion of (he
pioneer Woodell family today
was announced for June 24 in
the Pleasant Grove grange hall,
with a prospective attendance of
75 or more descendants of the
original family who settled in the
Grande Rondc valley in 18C4.
The reunion will start at 10:30
a. m., and will include a pot luck
dinner at 12:30 p. m., a business
meeting, program and various
games and sports.
J. D. Woodell of Imbler is pres
ident of the clan, and Iris Adler
is secretary.
They announced ice cream and
coffee will be served by the clan
at the dinner.
The original Woodelis who came
to this area more than 80 yeau
ago consisted of James, Doon, Jo
seph, and William, and their sis
ters, Mrs. Elizabeth Walhinger
and Mrs. Margaret German.
In the early days of the family
reunions it was not unusual for
105 or more of the descendants
to get together for a three-day
meeting, but as the younger gen
eration grew up and married,
many of them went to other parts
of the country and the number
remaining in the area convenient
to the reunion place has decreas
ed accordingly, reducing the at
tendance to approximately half
its one lime proportion. '

Audited distribution
for your Advertising
Good advertising copy and attractive
layouts arc, of course, essential to
the success of your advertising. But from
the standpoint o' final results the answer
depends upon the distribution of your
advertising. , .
When you buy newspaper advertising
you are paying for an opportunity ; to
talk to people about your merchandise
and service. What you get for : your
money, therefore, depends upon how
many people there are in your audience,
where they arc, how this audience was
obtained, and many other facts that
indicate the value of the circulation
es a market for what you have to sell.
