He was 42. For nearly 14 years the fun- loving Parisian Socialite had shared the limelight with Chris tian Dior as one of the two best known and most important de signers of women s clothes. His creations set the pace of serenity Jn the world capital of fashion.

He made his first entry into the fashion world just before World War II but without much success. He served with distinction, during the war, win nings the Croix De Guerre. With the return of peace, Fath really hit his stride and made the established firms like the Schiaparellis, the worths and others sit up and take notice. ; In 1948, he made a deal with an American manufacturer to design .a special collection for the American trade. The manu facturer provided Fath with a email studio and ten workers. In six weeks, he had turned out 40 dresses for the mass re tail market. His clothes were an immediate success, and his star was firmly fixed. With his fame as a fashion designer established, Fath em barked in the perfume business. He handled the complicated business of blending the scents and designed the bottles. Fath had been ill for several months and spent several days in the American hospital at Neuilly early in October. He died this morning at his home in Paris. To Leave Mr. and Mrs. C. E.

While it recognizes that the code of ethics set up by the motion picture industry itself has functioned with appreciable -success over a comparatively long period of time and that similar codes have been adopted by radio and tele vision producers, it nevertheless stresses the need for a vigilant attitude on the part of citizens and citizen groups on commu nity, state, and national levels. That there is a need . for this vigilance is evident in the grow ing concern of parents, teachers, and others as to the . land 01 mass media fare - being served to our children: To conform to desirable stand ardsthe action committee of the National Congress said such a production or publication should appeal to age levels; have proper proportions of entertain ment and action; add to under standing and appreciation of one's self, others, and the world; encourage worthwhile ideals, values, and beliefs; and stimulate constructive activities. There should be artistic quality, lan guage suited to subject and age level, all combining to produce an overall positive effect. The evaluation guides in them selves are not functional unless they are, followed up by action from individuals,' the commit tee pointed out. Fifty individuals who approach a distributor, broadcaster, theater manager, or publisher, one by one; will exert more influence than an organ ized group committee to a. pro gram, even though the group may . represent larger numbers. Expressed approval when deserv ed will encourage producing groups to maintain acceptable standards.
