(D-Tenn.) would hare beaten the tar out of him." -If I'm any judge of the New Hampshire people as I look across the river. Kefauver would have won there by a wide margin," Aiken said.

Paris Fashions Still Cling to Low Neckline PARIS (JP)-The first major fash ion news of the new season was made Sunday by Jacques Fath, in a collection full of swallow tailed coats and necklines scooped about as low as the law allows. Fath's 1952 line is a circle or curve in fashion Jargon he de scribes it as being "as round as the skyline, an egg or a woman." It shows up in the cut-away coats, low-c u r v i n g martingale belts, folded circular capes and rounded decolletage. A trademark of the collection was corselet-waisted skirts and corselet belts curving up to mark the bottom of the bustiine. Fath calls them "jumbo' belts, perhaps because they grip the wearer as tightly as a wrestling hold, pother characteristic trends: Cardboard-stiff white collars and cuffs; gros-grain ribbon slotted through the collar, tied in a flat bow at the neck and falling into streamers to the hemrwaistlength or bolero-length jackets sometimes with front points buttoned onto pockets; bib fronts spilling over blown roses to emphasize the bust; weskit sleeves; slim dresses with unbelted backs. Hemlines remain about 14 inches from the floor. But Fath makes most evening dresses dance-length, about 10 inches from the floor, or short enough to reveal a pretty ankle. Grey crowds the collection, and looks like a certain winner for the most popular daytime color. Fath's pet hat shapes are a sort of sawed -off stovepipe or flower pot modeL 4n ir 1 Tw Friendly Theatre New Showing - Open 6:43 "ANNE OF THE INDIES" in Technicolor with Debra Paget, Louis Jeurdaa Co-Feature THE FLYING MISSILE Qenn Ford.

J W , B m Bf I Pentagon Asked ForTotalU.S. Mobilization WASHINGTON CffVThe Ameri can public wasn't told how close it came this winter to embarking on measures close to all-out mo bilization. By the time of President Tru man's budget message a fortnight ago, the dust has settled. The mo bilization program is billions big ger, but it's also a year or so longer. Well have butter with the guns throughout-barring new out breaks of fighting. Much of the material which the military planned to chew up. in great burst of arms expansion. had been allotted before the White House made its decision. That's why the armed forces now are giving back perhaps S3 mil lion pounds of aluminum which they had tagged for warplanes and other weapons in April, May and June. Had the Pentagon proposals gone through, mobilization offi cials now declare, the auto and all consumer hard goods industries would have had to shut down en tirely. The basic plant materials ex pansion program, intended to pro vide long-run strength and indus trial capacity, would have been stalled. Instead, Mr. Truman's decision will mean somewhat easier aoinc for civilians, both consumers and businessmen; less acute shortages; more moderate inflationary pres sures; and fewer layoffs in non- aeiense industries. Mr. Truman, supported by Mo bilization Director Charles E. Wil son, held that a full mobilization drain of resources and national credit would weaken the coun try's long-term potential for wag ing a war, not strengthen it. They chose a calculated risk the risk that Russia would not strike real soon. STRIKE VOTE SOUGHT KANSAS CITY, Kas. (-Representatives of 275.000 oil workers In the U.
