But there will be an inte grated company picnic sketch. A controversial ftio.OOO Russian sable coat which one fashion edi tor cha'ged was like "carrying coals to Newcastle" will remain in the 400-costume collection. Changes in the half-hour fashion exhibit came about Tuesday part ly because of criticism from 41 of 250 fashion editors in town to cov er fall and winter collections. They saw a rehearsal of the show Sun day night and drew up a petition protesting what was not "represen tative of the American way of We." The petition did not make any reference to the mingling of Whites and Negroes in some of the tableaux. But some reporters voiced criticism of the civil wed ding scene in which a White coup le were, shown as witnesses for a Negro bride and groom. "Misguided" Gesture' Ruth Quint, fashion editor of the New Haven, Conn., Register, said she thought the racially mixed wedding party was not a "true so cial scene. . . it seemed to me a misguided good-will gesture." Oth ers, however, considered it a good way to "offset the bad publicity we ve had world-wide because of the segregation row. Leonard Hankin, head of the fashion industries presentation committee which will open the show in Moscow on July 25, said mat wedding scene and another. showing a garden wedding, will be dropped from the show, not be cause of the criticism but because the show had to be shortened A cathedral wedding party will re main. Principals in that scene are all white; the Negro members of the cast appear as guests. Graydon Heartaill, fashion editor of the Dallas Times-Herald, who helped circulate the petition, said that "actually tt was some oi the girls from the north who brought up the race thing. ' She said most ot the signers ob jected primarily because they "felt the exhibit pictured us as a frivolous nation. . , at play moat of the time. It did. not show that we work damned bard for our luxuries." ' N gleet' Wert in. Wemn The sharpest and most Wide spread criticism was .that the show neglected fashions for the working woman either at home or outside It. ' Hankin laid all hands involved in the privately-financed exhibition (it is costing the industry 1200.000) saw the need for changes the minute the rehearsal ended. The petition from the 41 report ers arrived Monday, he said, and he immediately wrote each sign er to ask for more detailed sug gestions. It wasn't all brickbats. Lois Fegan. Women's Editor of the Jersey City, N.J. Journal, called it a "pretty good cross-section of American life, although not much emphasis on career girl fashions." The Plumhinff.HvMinD.T'nilini Information Bureau nninta mil that "Americans have learned to enjoy the privilege of cleanliness as one oi our greatest riches." Mrs. Minnie Burner of Dawn, Mo.

Yet To Complete Their SCHOOL SUPPLY ' NEEDS W Recommend That They Check OUR WIDE SELECTION! Kathy Loufakis. Women's Edi tor of the Morgantown, W.Va Dominion-News, called the show "a good propaganda picture." The fashion show uses 47 mod elsa few are professional but most are amateurs representing typical city and suburban fami lies, tots, teens, college students, young couples and a great-grandma. Three of the models are Ne groone a professional, the other two an engaged couple. Few Campus Clothes One editor objected because the "Typically American" junior prom was missing, and because there weren't more campus clothes. An other said the show "pictured very other American woman as wearing pants. Cathryn McCune. Women's Edi itor of the Tulsa. Okla. Tribune was happy to see a rock 'n roll scene dropped "The Russians don't like that music anyway Evelyn Hannay, Fashion and Beauty Editor of the San Fran cisco Chronicle and one of the pe titioners, called the show "not very realistic." The "Golden Mean" of a woman's spending on a dress is $25, she said but most of th clothes were for the higher- income brackets. Hankin said 30 per cent of the woman's clothes shown sell for less than $25.
