If Women Parade In Pajamas Expert Says Why Not Men New York (U.R) If Max Lov ell has his way, life will be ( continual pnjama party. An expert on such togs, he said it is now socially acceptable for men as well as women to be clad in lounging pajamas instead of street clothes when entertaining at home. Lovell came to the conclusion that the pajama has progressed from simply a sleeping attire to the fashionable thing after a nation-wide survey on the subject. Women, who buy almost all the men's pajamas sold, art re sponsible for this newest trend, he said. Of those interviewed, 84.6 per cent thought it was a good idea. "Gone are the days when pa jamas were used In the bedroom alone." he said. "There's nothing objectionable about this, there's no rule that says you must wear heavy outer garments at home." Idaa Is Comfort The idea. Lovell said. Is to be as cool and as comfortable as possible. Pointing out that women en tertained at cocktail parties and dinners in hostess pajamas, Lovell said this comfort should be extended to men." Lovell is horrified at the thought of people sleeping raw. It's uncomfortable, immodest and unlienlthful, he said. "Doctors will tell you that you should wear a garment while asleep," he said. "Most summer colds are due to sleep ing without pajamas." From A to I thay ill ijim a. "No, I m not deaf," im Mn.

(U.R) Defense Secretary Louis John son has endorsed legislation to give Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the Joint chiefs of staff, the five-star rank of Gen eral of the Army. If approved by congress, It would be the first five-star rank created since World War II when four generals and four admirals were given that rank perman ently. In a letter to Chairman Carl Vinson, (D., Ga.) of the house armed services committee, John son wrote: Entitled to Honor "In my opinion, nothing that any of us can do to honor Gen. Bradley can exceed the honors to which he is entitled for his outstanding contributions to the security of this nation." The bill is sponsored by Hep. Paul Shafer, (R., Mich.). No hear ings have been scheduled. One argument advanced for giving Bradley another star is to put him on par with Gen. Douglass MacArthur, supreme al lied far eastern commander, the only five-star general on active duty. Adms Chester w. Nimitz, tr nest J. King and William Leahy are the other five-star officers listed as being on active duty. Nimitz Is assigned to the United Nations and King and Leahy are ill. TORNADOES DAMAGE TOWN Alice. N.D..
