Jane Defies Paris Style
Shell Leave Skirts Short
By BOB THOMAS
Hollywood, Aug. 21 W) Servicemen of America, you have a
friend. Her name is Jane Russell. Some friend, huh?
It seems that the sentiment of most red-blooded American
men, particularly those to whom the availability of feminine
charms is limited, is dead set against lowering me iemaie nem
line. Lt. Tom Hamrick, late of
Charleston, S. C, but now re
siding near the 38th parallel, so
informed AP Columnist Hal
Boyle.
The lieutenant assailed the dic
tate of French designer Christian
Dior, who has sent the skirts of
his new dresses lower than the
value of a U. S. Nickel. '
When I informed the ample
Miss Russell of the Dior dive, she
replied: . . .
"Horrors!"
She thought the thing over
again and commented:
"Horrors!"
When she recovered from the
shock, I asked her if she would
follow the Dior decision.
"Absolutely not!" she replied.
"Down again, up again! Down
again! I'm through altering my
dresses. They're going to stay
Just the way they are now. I'm
!ng). Iff going to look as though
I'm all legs, because my legs
usually look as though they ex
tend up to my neck, anyway.
I hinted that something should
be done about this latest French
sabotage of Americarfhnale pleas
ures. I asked Miss Russell if U.
S. women shouldn't revolt
against the dictation of Paris.
'Haven t they already?" she
replied archly.
Rah, rah, Russell! Fooh, pooh
Paree!
not going to change them for
anybody." (Do I hear cheeps
from Korea? )
The buxom brunette admitted
that she succumbed to the "new
look" a few years back, as did
all women (the sheep). "We had
to," she argued. "A woman
would look like a freak in those
days if she didn't have a long
skirt.
"But I'm not going to change
now. I think the skirt is m just
the right place that is, exactly
in the middle of the calf. To wear
a skirt at your ankles is stupid
and to wear it at your knees
looks ridiculous. (Does it now,
men?) The mid-calf position
gives the most graceful line pos
sible to the legs." ,
While rehearsing a dance num
ber, she described her costume:
"It's cut 'way up here (point-

ing legislation had agreed to
day to relax down payment re
quirements on all homes costing

per cent on homes costing up
to $10,000, and 20 per cent on

payment requirements on GI
housing. Down payments would
be held to four per cent on
homes costing up to $7,000; six
per cent on those up to $10,000,
and 8 per cent on those ranging
up to $12,000.
The VA now Tequiree 15.8

23 per cent down payment on
a $10,000 home, and 25.8 per
cent on a $12,000 home
