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.

Industrial Zones
Needed in Cities
Committee Finds
Washington (U.R) The fac
tory as well as the home is
entitled to the protection of
zoning laws, according to a study
of community development made
by a special committee of five
outstanding city planners.
"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.
