(UP) Now that she's back in Canada it can be told Queen Elizabeth's clothes lack that something kown as "oomph." That, although they say it in somewhat more elegant language, is what several Fifth avenue stylists told the United Press today. Aware that their words consti tuted lese majesty or would have before 1776 most of them said "don't quote me" and went on to add such treasonable remarks as: "The queen's clothes are ah matronly." "Most American women will prefer to copy the Duchesses of Kent or Windsor. Trimmer, you know." "Elegant, pretty,- dignified, and all that, but definitely not smart." But don't think the queen's hats and gowns of f the face in the one instance and off the ankle in the other won't have a "tremendous influence on American women." "They will have just that," sr.id the stylist of a skyscraper place on the avenue. "The queen's graciousness and beauty," she added, "will bring back a type of woman who has been obscured by the fashions of recent years the elegant, grace ful, feminine, lady-like woman." She said you could expect a re vival of garden teas, formal re ceptions and the like, attended by women wearing long dresses, big hats with ostrich feathers on them, and carrying fluffy parasols: Another fashion expert from an "intimate" little place where peo ple like Brenda Diana Du'f Fraz ier go to shop disagreed. "Would American women copy the queen's dresses?" "Of course not," she said. "She's a queen. If American women go around trying to look likes queens they'll succeed only in looking silly." An expensive hat designer, on the other hand, reported that a woman came bustling in after the queen's visit and demanded an exact copy of her hat the one with flowers. "She was a middle-aged wo man," the hat designer said. The queen's visit was a great Student. Union Job Spurned By Committee PORTLAND, June : 13.

W The administration's neutrality bill profiding repeal of the em bargo on arms and ammunitions for nations at war was approved in full today by the house for eign affairs committee.

MONTEE WASHINGTON, June 13. (U.R) Secretary of State Cordell Hull has warned self-sufficient nations such as Germany and Italy that "discriminatory" foreign trade methods and huge armament pro grams can only lead to widespread chaos and destruction, whereas this nation's reciprocal trade treaties program opens the road to lasting peace, In V formal statement commem orating the fifth anniversary of the trade agreements program, Hull repeated his contention "dis criminatory arrangements not only necessitate an Increasing regimen tation of economic life but an in creasing regimentation of human beings and their ultimate loss of political freedom." ' "It Is iiot possible to stifle nor- bnal economic processes without diminishing human freedom, and national security and independ ence," he said. "Small nations which enter into such arrange ments with a large nation become increasingly dependent upon the large nation for economic exist ence and inevitably become politi cal vassals of the large nation."
