League Supports Present Plan
Of Legislative Apportionment
Support of the present plan
of apportionment of the Oregon
legislature was discussed at a
recent meeting of the League
of Women Voters of Oregon

threat to this plan is the initia
tive petition being circulated by
Giles L. French of Moro county
which would invalidate the pres
ent constitutional method of ap
portionment voted by the people
in 1952, if it appears on the
ballot and is passed at the gen
eral election in November. The

who say it resembles U. S.
model of 1936. (International)
present apportionment amend
ment was passed by a vote of
357,550 to 194,292.

apportionment plan and the
changes which would be made
by the passage of the French
plan of apportionment is avail
able to other interested organ
izations by writing to the state
office of the league, 210 Madi
son street, Corvallis, Ore.
A" state-wide committee to
support constitutional apportion
ment will be organized. The
first meeting held January 27
was attended by Mrs. Charles

porary chairman, James Marr,
AFL-CIO representative, Doug
las McKean of the Journal, Mal
colm Bauer of the Oregonian,
Mrs. William Hagensteon of the
League of Women Voters, Miss
Shirley Field, representing the
Young fiRepublicans and Jack
Beatty, representing the Young
Democrats. Permanent officers
will be elected when other rep
resentatives have joined the
group.
State board members voted to
recommend local league status
for the provisional league, at
Coos Bay and provisional status
for the newly formed league in
McMinnville. The national board
of the league must pass on these
recommendations before status is
granted. Other cities being con
sidered for the formation of new
leagues are Springfield, Leba
non, The Dalles and Bend
Plans for a survey, of local
league interest in taking a stand
on methods of revising the con
stitution of Oregon were made.
This year's study is being made
on those sections of the consti
tution which deal with county
government and it is planned
that action on the ballot meas
ure, HJR 7, which sets up cer
tain qualifications for the coun
ty offices of surveyor and cor
onor, will be taken at the coun

By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent'
NEW YORK (UP) High
fashion has come to the home
sewing market but still has a
long way to go before it takes
over. .
. The woman who . makes her
own wardrobe now can, if she
wishes, wear a Paris design just
as readily as the woman who
goes all the way to Paris to shop.
One pattern company said it
can. have patterns ready for a
new French fashion- within a
week after .it is shown in Paris.
Several companies boast of the
"name" designers they work
with in New York, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Paris, Rome, Ma
drid, Dublin and London.
But two firms, Simplicity and
Butterick, are big exceptions to
the pattern makers who feature
a "haute couture" styling.
Simplicity said it does not go
to Paris for ideas; that the
American woman who makes
her own clothes couldn't care
less about what Paris is doing.
"I doubt if 20 American wom
en out of 1,000 know who Chris
tian Dior is," said a Butterick
spokesman. -"Certainly we keep
track of the trends in the ready-;
f o-wear market. But we think
women want good style, fitted to
their figures. They are not in
terested in a label for label's
sake."
But other firms Vogue and
Advance, to ', name a couple
have contracts with top design
ers in America and Europe for
line-to-line copies of certain of
their originals. Advance said it
keeps a representative in Paris,
just to cover openings of the top
houses, relay the trends to New
York, and put the company's
own design staff to blue-printing
the latest for the American seam
stress. Advance said it can have the
pattern for a new design on the
counters in a week after it first
is hown, if a trend is important
enough to warrant the rush copy.
"We stick our neck out with a
style, the same way the ready-to-wear,
market does," said Eric O.
Dick, a vice president..
All the pattern : companies
have their own design staffs.
Their contracts with couturiers
might be called a supplement to
their overall production.
Simplicity alone comes out
with 40 patterns each month, or
about 500 ' annually. A top de
signer may have only 30 or 40
numbers in a collection, and
there usually are two collections
a year.
But the American woman' uses
up a lot of designs. It has been
estimated that 38,000,000 women
sew, using more than $1,000,000,
000 in fabric yearly, and that if
the pattern envelopes were
placed end to endj they would
cover 12,000 miles. - - ' '
- Top-selling size is 14, indicat
ing that the American woman is
slimmer these days. Size 16 was
the best seller before World War
Two.

agonal pedestrian crossing at the

lar crossing are in effect in many

ing at the intersection would

Main st. intersection he said.'
Proposal Criticized

The ordinance would provide
for bonding, photographing,
fingerprinting, registering and
payment of a license fee by all
peddlers. Miss Foote pointed out
that such a move would protect
residents from illegal practices
by peddlers and protect mer
chants who lose in excess of
$100,000 a year in business to
merchants.
Proposal Discussed
' It was asked whether or not
the proposal would be constitu
tional. Student City Attorney
Bruce Kellington stated that he
could . not render a decision on
the question t without further
study. ' " . '
' Councilmen also attacked the
proposal on the grounds that it
would tend to eliminate com
petition, that the license fee
would be excessive for local
firms and that the cost of en
forcement would be excessive.
The council adopted a resolu
tion expressing thanks to the
regular city officials, the Elks
club and the radio and television
stations -for giving them the op
portunity to participate in Stu
dent Government Day.
