LA GRANDE OBSERVER Observer, La Grande, Ore., Thuri., June 25, 1959 Page 9 EVERYONE LOOKS ALIKE Wall Street Dress Undergoes Changes From The Old Days By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Staff Writer NEW YORK (UPI) Back in the old days in Wall Street, every man. was dressed differ ently, wore a different type of hat, vest and coat, and cut his beard in his own personal style. Today all dress alike. They conform.' If narrow lapels are in style, they wear 'em narrow. Tho same goes for all other details narrow neckties, wide neckties, peg top pants, padded shoulders, narrow waistlines, and so on and on. .- And now, it seems, this con formity is going to be world wide. Wagons Rolling ThroughWyoming; Personnel Drops , COKEVILLE, Wyo. (UPI) Ore gon's Centennial wagon train pushed on through the high coun try of Western Wyoming today to ward this town near the Idaho border. The train's personnel was down to 24 following the departure Wed nesday of Gail Carnine and his wife Palma for their home in Roseburg where Carnine said he wanted to take care of an "urgent medical matter." They are sched uled to rejoin the train in about 10 days. The wagons were rolling through country 8,000 feet above sea level. Tuesday's visit to Kemmcrer was a red letlcr day for Rudy Roudcbaugh, driver of the Drain wagon, whose daughter Judy was married to Al llollnman in an im pressive covered wagon ceremony in Kcmmcrcr's Triangle Park. "This is the town that made a man of me," Roudcbaugh said. He recalled that he ran away from home 22 years ago and end ed up in Kemmcrer working as a hay hand for Al Sutton whose son, Ralph, was present at the wedding. A Wall Strccter will look like a citizen of Chicago, San Francisco, or Johannesburg, South Africa. Ruby Back, president of I. L. Back & Co. of Capetown, and largest menswear manufacturer in South Africa, says there can and should be universal men's fashions. He holds, however, that within a particular fashion there can be deviations to meet climat ic needs of particular countries. Universal Sport Shirt The men's fashion group is going to start its universal fash ion with a sport shirt. It' will be shown at the congress of the International Fashion Council in New York on May 5, 1960. This fashion show will exchange information from leading manu facturers of menswear from 25 countries (North America, Eur ope, Africa and Australia). The show will include latest men's fashions from all the na tions, the latest fabrics, methods of marketing, sales, advertising, color, style, promotions, and pack aging. The Phillips-Van Heuscn Corp., U.S. member of the group, will be its host at the 1960 meeting. "The interchange of fashion concepts, as well as marketing and manufacturing techniques, is bound to help menswear manu facturers throughout the world," according to Stanley C. Gillette, vice-president - sales, of Phillips Van Hcusen. Gillette holds that every com pany like his can always use additional ideas.' He notes the wash and wear shirt was first Timber Provision Of 1958 Is Subject WASHINGTON (UPI) The Small Business Administration has scheduled hearings in Port land for Aug. 26-27 on procedures developed by the SBA to imple ment the timber set-aside provi sion of the Small Business Act of 1958. - The Act set aside a quantity of timber for purchase by operators employing 100 persons or less. dccvlopcd in England and many other innovations first ap peared abroad. Back and Gillette feel that the stiff formality of European dress is breaking down with people wearing the same types of cloth ing in leisure hours. Conformity and Comfort As these experts put it, men arc for conformity and for com fort in their clothing. They sec a blending of various fashion ideas with the ultimate situation one in which it will be difficult to tell the British, French, Span ish, Italian or other national from an American. This isn't going to hapjien over night. For some time, you'll be able to distinguish the various nationals. The start comes in the sport shirt which is an accepted U.S. custom. Until recently, sports garments produced in Europe were used primarily by the wealthy when they engaged in sports. They were not used for leisurewear as they are in the United States, according to Back. The standard of living being ..raised abroad, particularly in Europe and Africa, more and more men will be in creasing their wardrobes, says Back. "Previously, they only bought dress shirts. They are now buying leisurewear garments as well. This trend will increase tremendously."- All this is going to mean more income for the producers of men's wear, it is held. As men conform more and more, they aren't go ing to wear last year's lapels or shoulders. Good news for the tex tile business which makes the goods that make the shirts, the suits, the neckties and the hats that men will junk to buy new shirts, suits, nccktios, and hats to conform with the other men of the world. And once this thing really gets going, you won't be able to tell a stock broker in Wall Street from a plumber in Milan or a pilot on the Suez Canal. ' .,' Put Women Before The Men When It Comes To Driving Hopkins And Wallace Confirmed Despite Lack Of Qualifications By LYLE C. WILSON UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPI) Old timers around town will remem ber that Harry L. Hopkins and Henry A. Wallace were confirmed for service as Sccrcyary of Com merce, the job for which the U. S. Senate has refused to con firm Adm. Lewis L. Strauss. Neither Wallace nor Hopkins had qualifications for that cabinet post cither by experience or point of view. Their nominations shocked the business community. This shock was aggravated by the belief that. In both instan ces, President Roosevelt was seeking to provide himself with a hand-picked successor in the White House. Wallace got the cabinet nomina tion because he had been a good boy in the 1944 presidential cam paign, making powerful campaign speeches to the political left wing in behalf of the Roosevelt-Truman ticket. FDR had wanted Wallace to be renominated for vice presi dent in 1944 but the Democratic National Convention would not have him. Could Have Bolted Wallace could have sulked or bolted the Democratic ticket but he stayed on the team. FDR made room for him in the cabinet by firing Commerce Secretary Jes se H. Jones, a financier with am ple qualifications for that post. "Henry is entitled to what he wants," FDR told Jones and that was that. The nomination went up on Jan. 21, 194S. In his auto biography, Jones recalls: "The suggestion sent to Con gress by President Roosevelt that Wallace, who possessed odd and mystic notions about business and finance, should be placed in charge of the government's lend ing agencies, which were dealing in billions of dollars, startled the country and shocked Congress. "Cong-ess immediately took steps to assure that, whatever else Mr. Wallace got hold of, he wouldn't get his hands on Uncle Sam's check book." Jones as Secretary of Com merce also had been Federal Loan Administrator (FLA).- (That included supervision of the Re construction Finance Corporation and its subsidiaries. How Con gressional Republicans and Dem ocrats alike felt about Wallace in that kind of clover was indicated by the vote in the House to sep arate the FLA from the Com merce Department. The vote was 400 to 2.) ' - Ran For President The Senate Commerce Commit tee voted 15 to 5 against Wal lace's confirmation as Secretary out he finally was confirmed. Fi nally, alsb, he ran for President. That was in 1948 as the nominee of tho Progressive Party, which was invented, operated and bally hoocd by the Communist Party of the United States. Hopkins was nominated for the Commerce Dcoartmcnt in 1938. Some days before the nomination was made Gallup pollsters put this question: "Would you ap prove Harry L. Hopkins nomina tion for Commerce Secretary?" The returns: Yes, 34, per cent; No, 66 per cent. Harry-the Hop, as FDR called him, was confirmed, however, and served an undistinguished cabinet term. In furtherance of his White House ambitions, Hop kins planned to buy a farm in his native Iowa and joined an Iowa Methodist Church. Nothing came of that. The Wallace, Hopkins, Strauss incidents suggest that the Senate is working under new ground rules on confirmations. ItfckylagOT Irvwlne C:, Vawwl.

By GAY PAULEY UPI Staff Writer NEW YORK (UPD Two ex perts behind the wheel, a man and a woman, put us ludics be fore the men in driving ability. Although I must confess that Carl C. dim, the "lifiO Driver of the Year," was reluctant to discuss women motorists. "Yqii're Jrying to put me on a spot," laughed Crim, when I asked him who in general was the safer driver man or woman. "Tho woman is quicker, her re actions are fast," he said., "She is more alert. Not easily flus tered." Crim, who lives at Okmulgee, Okla., owns his own tank truck and leases it on jobs. He has had 26 years of accident-free driving. Covered more than a million and one-half miles, and this record plus his life-saving efforts on and off , the highways won him the American Trucking . Association s national citation. The lady expert is Miss Patricia Jones, u 30-year-old stunt driver touring with Jack Kochman's hell drivers. - Lady Stunt Driver Miss Jones, a tall blonde from Wichita, Kan., proved this year Prisoner Dies From Injuries After Rioting SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (UPD A prisoner hurt when lawmen crushed a 16-hour riot in the hom osexual wing of the U.S. Medical Center died Wednesday night of a fractured skull. He was Richard Smith of Salt Lake City, a 24-year-old inmate serving seven years for threaten ing to kill or harm the President of the United States. Meanwhile, Warden Russell O. Settle said he is in no hurry to take action against the ringlead ers of the riot. He said he and his staff have found no rational explanation for the outbreak. He said Earl C. Taylor, 31, of Phcnix City, Ala., "one of the most vicious prisoners in the en tire federal prison syslcm," was the principal ringleader. Taylor's two lieutenants were identified as Bryan D. Reed, 24-year-old mur derer from Los Angeles, and Carl Roberts, 19, of Kansas City, who is serving time for car theft. Smith was injured when 100 of ficers stormed the wing where 106 homosexual and mental pa tients held five guards captive with knives at their throats. It was not made clear how Smith was injured; whether by officers in the attack force, by. another pris oner, or by accident. Settle said he was in no hurry to take action against the rioters because "mental responsibility" is involved. A board of inquiry continued to question inmates searching for the reason behind the riot. "I think it was just a compul sive, aggressive act," Settle said. "They haven't been able to name any of the demands they said they would make, nor give a rational reason." that she can drive with thrift as well as thrill by piloting a Dodge to victory in the annual economy run. She has used the same make of car in the seven years she has been u stunt driver and estimates she has logyotl half a million miles. "To gut lo be 30 in Ibis busi ness, you have to be careful, she said. "I do all the stunts the men drivers do, but maybe I'm a little bit more cautious and less aggressive behind the wheel and the same holds for the 60 mil lion womc'.i drivers across the nation. Statistics show they're naturally safer than men. Many mate drivers are over confident," she said. She believes the courtesy factor is the prime reason for the low accident rate among women drivers. Chivalry on the Road? Her advice to the woman driver is this: Don't assume that there is a lot of chivalry on the open road. "You may think your feminity entitles you to go first. But don't risk it. Let the man driver cross ahead of you, cut in or pass, she said. As for Crim, he believes the rules of the road apply to either sex in the same degree. Crim said, "I give a lot of the credit for my driving record to my wife. She gets up and fixes me a good breakfast.. .and that's something, for I begin work at about four in the morning. She never starts out with an argument." Said his wife: "At that hour, who's awake enough to argue!" BRITISH LAUNCH MISSILES LONDON (UPD Britain opened its first guided missile range Tuesday with the launching of a U.S. -made Corporal missile. The range is located in the Hebrides Islands west of Scotland. An of ficial announcement said the launching "was successful."
