BIG QUESTION
What Will
Happen to
Hemlines?
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK (UP) Christian
Dior says that even Christian
Dior doesn't know what will hap
pen next to hemlines.
The Paris designer, who ranks
second only to nature as a mol
der of the feminine shape, de
clared he can make no forecast
for what's ahead in fashion gen
erally. Skirt lengths in particular,
although he hinted they may get
a big longer.
"But I just don't know," said
Dior.
Dior has been in town to "get
acquainted again with my staff
... if 1 don't come over once a
year they think I am a bad
father," to work with a furrior
o.' a new Dior fur collection, and
to plan the launching of a third
Dior perfume.
(letter Dressed
In an interview before he sailed
for home, the modest Dior denied
he is a fashion czar, revealed he
soon will design a collection of
casual wear for the American
male; and decided the American
woman gets better dressed all the
time.
. "No more do I see sequins at
10 a.m.," said Dior.
. Dior said he can't prophesy
about fashion beausc he doesn't
even know what his own collec
tion will be like until the last
minute; that he designs "spon
taneously." "I am changing things right up
to the time a show starts," said
the thin-haired Dior, who looks
more like a small town banker
than a tyrant of the hemline.
Dior designs two collections
each season. The one for his
Paris salon, is a custom-made
collection which usually causes a
furor from Cairo to California.
His New York collection, a less
costly wholesale line, is a "com
plement" or adaptation of his
Paris group.
Lower Hemline
Dior's Paris collection for
spring 1957 will be shown in Jan.
His New York group alreao"

lines given movement and interest by back panels and drapery. At left is a short evening frock

about it until January,
But Dior himself disclosed some
details. He lowered the bem,!e
"one-half an inch ," he said. He
also included "half a dozen or so
afternoon costumes" in the "demi
longuer" length about eight
inches above the instep.
- Should American women con
sider these a harbinger?
Well, Dior suggested buying
clothes with a deep hem. "Makes
a garment hang better," he
smiled. .

Million Plus Tons of
Cargo Moves Out in
Month of Oct. .
V

traffic flowed through the Port qf
Portland in record proportions
during the month of October and
was great enough to virtually in
sure that 1956 will be the greatest
shipping year in the history of the
port.
The Portland Merchants Ex
change yesterday issued figures
showing that 1.038,467 short tons
of cargo were moved through the
port during the month. The great
est tonnage in a, single month in
the port's history.
Downriver ports of Astoria, St.
Helens, Vancouver, W e s t p o r t,
Wauna and Longview also broke
existing records for tonnage han
dled in a single month.
Grain led the exports in all the
ports during the month but great
quantities of scrap metal, coal,
coke, flour, lumber and other
products also tunneled through
Portland.
A total of 163 ships arrived at
the Port of Portland during the
month and 154 departures were
reported, one of the highest num
ber of vessels to visit the port in
its history.
Portland handled 21)9.110 tons of
txports while downriver ports
were handling another 253,879
tons. Imports at Portland, led by
petroleum products, coffee, iron
and steel products and ferro
manganese, totaled 181,618 tons.
The record tonnage handled
during the month, projected over
the remaining two months, would
mean nearly a six per cent in
crease in tonnage handled by
Portland docks.
