14 (Sec i) Statesman, Salem, Ortw Stm jirao 14. 1353 Neckties May Be on Way Out, Collector of Cravats Says WCTU Aims Verbal Blast At Yale's Lab SEATTLE UP) The National Woman's Christian Temperance MIAMI, Fla. W Is the neck tie slipping clear out of the Amer ican picture? i , The Rev. Wilfred P. Hannan thinks so. Maybe it's just the sum-' mer influence in this sports shirt Union elected a new president Sat-1 capita. But at this time of year, nrrfav for the first time in nine i the minister's views are inter- years, notea a iocai-opuon uij trend, and took a pot-shot at Yale's Laboratory of Applied Physiology. Named as the eighth president in the 79 year history of the W. C. T. U. was Mrs. Glenn G. Hays, 57, Ransom, Kas.- She succeeds Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin Evanston, E1L, who held the post nine years. Mrs. Colvin had announced some time ago she would not be a candi date for re-election. Sbje suffered an extended illness last winter. Mrs. Hays, wife of . a Kansas wheat and cattle rancher, will take office at Evanston national head quarters Nov. 1. She is the organi zation's current vice-president-at-large and formerly was recording secretary. Mrs. C. V. Biddle, Knoxville, Tenn., president of the Tennessee state W. C. T. U. was elected vice-president-at-large. Other national officers were re-elected. They are i Truman's Tie esting. He's been a collector of cravats for years a student, so to speak, of both the spiritual and the sar torial. And he thinks ties may be going the way of button shoes and detachable cuffs. The day may be coming, he believes, when ties will be worn only on dress occasions. Hannan, executive secretary of the Greater Miami Council of Churches, began collecting neck wear ir 1936 when he was study ing for his doctorate at the Uni versity of Chicago. He didn't just drift into his hobby. With Mrs. Harman, he pored over j hobby magazines and lists of hob bies before be deliberately chose tie coL'ecting. He might have chos en canes, umbrellas or other items of men's equipment but selected ties because they are not so cum bersome. Mrs. H. E. Mielke. Evanston. cor responding secretary; Mrs. H. F. Powell, Evanston, treasurer, and Mrs. Fred J. Tooze. Portland, Ore. recording secretary. Sessions to End The elections highlighted the sec ond day of the 79th annual conven tion of the temperance order. Ses sions end Sunday. Yale University was a principal target in Mrs. Colvin's annual ad dress. She said the school's Labor atory of Applied Physiology was 'attempting to promote the idea that wine drinking by babies and children is harmless." The retiring W. C. T. U. president said the laboratory committed an "offense against child welfare" in a report in its Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol. She said the report dealt with Italian drinking habits here and in Italy and the "keynote of its song is that people who learn to drink while children do not become drunkards or al coholics." Young Drunkards Mrs. Colvin contended the Yale report ignores "the known and rapidly increasing number of teen age drunkards and drinking delin quent in this country" and is a disservice to the millions of par ents trying to keep their children from drinking. She went on to say that temp erance leaders "and other thinking people" long have questioned the intent and purpose of Yale's al cohol studies. And she accused the New Haven university of "attempt ing to disarm young people against drink, rather than dissuade them as it should do.' Dry Trend Seen . Following the same general theme Mrs. Tooze, the national W.C.T.U. recording secretary, told the convention that a "dry" trend has developed because of growing public revolt against drink associ ated with juvenile crime and del inquency. She said that more than 500 local option elections are being held an nually in 30 states permitting them, with the majority voting dry." In nearly every case, she asserted, juvenile drinking has been a deciding or major issue. Mrs. Colvin, in her annual recom mendations, called for governors of all states to proclaim-a week in April as Youth Temperance Ed ucation Week. Delegates also voted to make their "first objective" the outlaw ing of liquor advertising over radio and television, and mediums en gaged in interstate commerce. Such a bill is pending in Congress.

In the music section division of the collection are ties formerly owned by Dr. Thomas Beecham, noted British conductor and David Rutinoff, renowned violinist. , , The entertainment division in and the late Tom Mix, plus eye dazzlers given him by his boyhood friends, Chester Lauke and Morris Goff . : the Lum and Abner radio team. - . Many of the 100 ties in the Har man collection are those of cele brated clergymen. When Harman approached Toyo hiko Kagawa, Japanese religious leader and author, for a tie, Kaga wa explained he had but one, which he would wear until it wore out. Harman appealed to Mrs. Kaga wa. She backed ud her husband's f cIafv Ha ftluiDVf awfA Kltttlr Ma she said and wore them until they were almost ready to fall apart. Harman got the tie, however, per haps the most -delapidated in his collection. Given by Governor Of all his historical specimens, Harman cherishes one given him by Gov. Phil M. Donnelly of Mis souri. It is the tie Donnelly wore the night in 1948 when he placed Truman in nomination for presi dent at the Philadelphia National Democratic Convention.' Harman says he has found, in his research, that ties undergo a definite change every 50 years. Druggis Stale Conclave BEND in Oregon druggists win meet here Monday and Tues day.

An earlier report said be had a "slight elevation of tempera ture but his general condition con tinues to be satisfactory." "We may either expect a new necktie soon, or the disappearance of the necktie altogether, except, possibly for dress wear," he said. "SpDrt shirts have done more to cause them to be discarded than anything else." "there hadn't been a year in 'the last 30 that narcotics haven't been sold tc high school children in Medford." District Attorney Walter Nunley said there was a problem, basing bis information, he said, ,on re ports from county juvenile author ities and, two Medford doctors.
