Baldest Germans Dare Iron Curtain To Attend Contest Berlin (U.R) Smooth domes fairly glistened in the morning sun. It would have been a para dise for a quack peddler of a sure-fire hair restorer. It was a gathering of the hair less clan, Germany's baldest bald-headed men and one woman. More than 500 persons had polished their pates for the oc casion. Many cast asiae me toupees they had worn for years. The baldies were seeking a top prize of 1,000 D-marks ($250) plus a movie career. They came from East Ger many as well as West. The "Iron Curtain" failed to halt several who slipped quietly into Berlin to show their barren tops. Aniwer want Ad Contestants were applicants answering a want ad in Berlin newspapers. The uuu movie Co. issued a call for 250 bald heads to participate in a film it is making. The studio became an ocean of shiny pates when the assem hlnce bade their nudges in chorus a resounding "good morning" and lifted their nats and caps. The would-be stars then lined up for inspection. They filed by boara oi movie executives mm actresses who made sure oy close scrutiny that the pates were the McCoy and not artificial products. One erouo of elderly bald- heads gathered around the popu lar actress Olga Tschecnowa to get a caressing touch from her soft hands as the newsreel cameras and still photographers recorded the scene.

"A municipality which pro tects only its residential areas is falling to protect its most important asset: the employment base that creates the need for these same residential areas," the city planners said in discus sing the problems of local zoning regulations. The committee's conclusions on the protection of industry in a municipality are part of a study sponsored by the United States Chamber of Commerce to aid business men and civic leaders in municipal planning. The report, contained in a 44- page booklet entitled Zoning and Civic Development," re views in layman's language the lessons of zoning practice which have been learned during the past 20 years. It presents poin ters toward making a more effective tool in regulating a community's progress. The committee's report has been endorsed in principle by the board of governors of the American Institute of Planners, the American Institute of Archi tects and the construction and civic development department committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States In the last 20 years, the com mittee reports, zoning has Le come a firmly established con cept as a police function of the state in the interest of public health, safety, morals, and gen eral welfare. With the expansion of zoning regulations into suburban and rural areas, the committee esti mates that in 1948 more than 1,200 cities and towns had some form of zoning. Of the cities of 250,000 or more, only Houston. Tex., is without some type of regulation. Flexibility Needed In describing the basic func tion of zoning, the committee emphasizes that it must be a flexible instrument with a capac ity for readjustment and im provement to meet the increas ing complexity of urban life. "If this were not so, zoning... might cease to be of public bene fit and become instead, a block to progress," the report said. CAMERA STORES BOUGHT Salem, Ore.. Apr. 8 iU.R) Roy T.
