Pentagon Issues Sharp Denial of Extravagance WASHINGTON (P-High Pen tagon officials Wednesday public ly denied two widely-publicized stories about waste and extrava gance in the armed services. Secretary of the Air Force Fin letter said an "official investiga tion" found "no evidence" of a report tht 200 pounds of coffee was used as a floor sweeping com pound at Carswell Air Base, near Ft. Worth, Tex. Vice Adm. Charles W. Fox, chief of Navy supplies, good-naturedly denied that the Navy has "a mil lion dozen oyster forks in sur plus." He said 10,000 dozen oyster forks were bought in 1943 for officers' messes, but said they were a poor wartime grade of plated steel. Anyhow, the Ad miral said, he was on duty in the Pacific at the time and doesn't relish the nickname he said he had been given lately: "Oyster Forks Fox." Fox spent two hours explaining to the Senate Appropriations Sub committee how a system of pur chasing and stock inventory now used by the Navy and other serv ices had saved "millions of dol lars for the taxpayers in defense costs." Denials of the stories on sur plus oyster forks and coffee came after Sen. McClellan (D-Ark) said such stories cause the public "to think the armed services are the most wasteful agency in the land." McClellan asked about a report that the Air Force was spending funds to develop luxury - type chairs for stenographers. Secretary Finletter said it did little good to dispute such stories, saying denials did not get the headlines and the public seldom remembered the denials or saw them. He added that he did not know if the plush stenographer chair story is true or not. Death Claims K. O. Fosse EVERETT (JP)A long-time friend of K. O. Fosse said Wednesday he had been informed of the former Pacific Northwest lumberman's death in San Francisco Tuesday night. Fosse was in his early 70's. Death was believed due to a heart attack. Fosse was president of the In ternational Wood and Sawpipe Co. when it owned a pulp mill at Coos Bay, Ore., which is now a property of the Coos Bay Pulp Corp. Fosse owned a farm at Am ity, Ore.

Eyebrow-lifting "open bosoms,' "belligerent bustles," and "wan dering belts" topped the show bill. Perhaps more witty than wearable, her styles provided the brightest oasis in a fashion season so far unremarkable for daffy Pans originality. , Madame Elsa refuses to be se rious about 1952's misplaced belt, and goes everybody else several better by parrying it to ridiculous heights right across the bust and depths hanging loose below the backside. One might almost think she is poking sly fun at her com petitors with wandering belts to end all wandering belts. Some typical Schiaparellia abr acadabra: devilish shuttered col lars that open and shut, revealing a bit more with each adjustment, and turning day dresses into semi formals; gangster suits with Jack ets in bigger checks than the skirts; hats that imitate umbrellas, birds-nests, ships' prows, and cockscombs; hitching rings or pearl-handled pistols stuck in belts; stacks of five or six pock ets each side of a coat; water melon and Gladstone handbags. Always free mixer of shocking collars, Sjchiaparelli this time splashed her collection with "jockey club" combinations yel low and green, blue and green, purple and yellow, and Blue-blood red." If there are any modern Mata Hans still about, Madame Scnia parelli is Just the person to dress them. Besides pear-handiea pis tols and perilous necklines, she goes in for slinky black satin sheaths of lulling sophistication. There were oriental envelope skirts slit to well above the knee on each side and embroidered with gold: sequins and a sort of Lady MacBeth nightshirt in shocking pink naturally accom panied by a prop the usefulness of which was obscure; a mirror- shaped affair centered with sun glass. For sportswear there were "Punch and Judy Pants" and a Turkish Blackmoor outfit. Morse Blasts Importation of Mexican Labor WASHINGTON W-The United States and Mexico were criticized by Senator Morse (R-Ore) Wed nesday for their sponsorship of a program which Mexicans come to the U. S. to work on farms. He expressed his views at a Sen ate labor subcommittee hearing on migratory ; farm labor problems. Referring to the U. S.-Mexican farm labor treaty, Morse said: "This agreement is a collusion between two governments to knowingly exploit human beings. "It is doing us international damage and playing into the hands of Russian propagandists. It's a form of economic slav ery ..." The senator said there is ade quate labor available in this country without importing it. Bet ter wages and living standards, he said, are all that is needed to at tract U. S. workers to seasonal ag ricultural jobs. Runaway Boys Apprehended After Wreck Two runaway boys from the MacLaren: School for Boys at Woodburn. were apprehended in Portland following an auto acci dent there Wednesday afternoon, state police reported here Wed nesday night.
