Stockman asserted that any one's guess is as good as his own on the first question and there are circumstances justifying al most any speculation. He spoke highly of President Truman and stated thut those close to nation al affairs manifest increasing confidence in the president as they become better acquainted with him. Of the OPA it was stated that only praise could be accorded the paid and volunteer personnel on the home front in their respective communities.

New Permanents Need Time to Set By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer ' Don't invite a frizzy headpiece which can spoil your vacation looks or your summer fun by economizing on a permanent wave. You can't reasonably ex pect from a bargain the best ma terials and the most expert skills. Because of the rise in price for both labor and supplies, perma nents are upped in costs today. What you once could get for $5 may now possibly cost you $10 or more. After you plunk down your cash, guarantee yourself a good wave by. gritting your teeth and allowing your operator to whack off all dead hair or wisps that survive a previous permanent. Best bet for a bouncing crop of curls is a brand-new wave put in virgin hair. Don't fuss with your hair after the new wave is in. Don't douse it in hot water. Anoint it with oil instead of water when you run up pin-curls. A temperamental fit of changing the style imme diately after the permanent will cut down the life-expectancy of your wave.
