Trend in Bullet-Proof Vests Turns To Slipovers; V-Neck Available if Wanted By H. D. QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) What's new in bullet-proof vests this season? We thought you'd be asking tliat. Well, there's one major style change. The trend is to slipovers. You can get a V-neck if you want, but it has to be made to order. The prevailing neckline style is high and round. Snug fitting, you might say. If you want to camouflage the garment, you really need a dickey. Materials are trending to spe cially alloy steels, with attrac tive nylon exteriors. Pockets are out. There are two basic styles. Cne is very light, eight or nine pounds, for wear against any thing up to and including' a Colt .45 automatic. The other is heavier, starting at 12 pounds end, getting weightier accord ing to the size of the wearer. It will stop the bullets of the heavy, hard-hitting guns. This information is from Bernard Spooner, and he ought to know. He's been making bullet-proof vests for 35 years. Some of the best dressed gang sters of the early 1920s wore his creations. Now most of his business is with police depart ments. New 61ipoTer The slipover type which Ppooner now is manufacturing replaces the button-front style of other years. It has some hooks which you can use to open it, but Spooner recommends pull ing it over the head, which "takes only two seconds." In the old days Spooner put four pockets in his bullet-proof-crs, just like a regular vest. Also, for some of the fancier dressers, he put on lapels and BOYS! GIRLS!

One of the big developments in the field is a special alloy steels, which is tough and can not become magnetized. The non-magnetic feature makes the vests safe for pilots to wear amidst a maze of instruments that could be thrown awry by a magnetic field. Take No Chances What kind of people buy bullet-proof vests? Mostly police men. The next biggest group is composed of private citizens who pc abroad "to countries where they think they have something to be afraid of." Then there are special cases like jewelers who are going on the road. And there are certain business men who have been held up several times and fi nally decide they are going to fight back the next time. Spooner fills special requests. He thinks probably the most un usual was in 1924 from "a big Chinese man in San Francisco." It was during a tong war. "This Chinese wanted protec tion from the neck right down to the toes," Spooner said. "He wanted a kimono. He got it." He also got exercise. The vest" weighed 85 pounds. Moscow's Brand of Communism Believed Definitely On Decline Editor'! note: Experts on Soviet and satellite affairs have now rearbed the conclusion that the revolt of the satel lites has split world Communism Into three major schools and shattered Moscow's ideological leadership. In the following dispatch, veteran t'nited Press diplomatic correspondent Karol c. Thaler spells out what happened. . By KAROL C. THALER United Press Correspondent London U.R) World Com munism emerged today in a three way split Krushchev ism, Maoism and Titoism. Leading students of Soviet affairs now consider the once monolithic uniformity of the Communist bloc shattered and seemingly beyond repair. With the leap-frog growth of the satellite revolt in East Eu rope, the signs are that Moscow's once undisputed leadership of the Communist world is fading like a once red rose in a winter chill. Loss of ideological leadership, the experts predicted, may be followed by the loss of Russian political predominance. The blow to Moscow's prestige dealt first by President Tito of Yugoslavia eight years ago was a mere pinprick compared to the open revolt now in progress in Poland and Hungary, the ex perts said. Maoism Moving Away That's Titoism. And the ferment in the East European satellites is comple mented by the quiet but deep rooted independence drive of Red China's Mao Tse-Tung, who has been moving away from Russia's tutelage at a fast pace. That's Maoism. The prevailing view among ex- Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Chicago Louis B.

Things may change again, but they will never be the same. ' , Russia's plight at present is accentuated by differences with in the Kremlin itself, which ap pears increasingly split into two factions, one led by Soviet party chief Nikita Khrushchev and the other, the Stalinists, apparently captained by former foreign minister V. M. Molotov. Future Uncertain There is no telling yet where this struggle will lead and whether and in which form "Khrushchevism" will emerge as the sole and undisputed ruler of the vast Soviet Union. But the indications already are clear beyond doubt in Eu rope that Titoism has burst forth not as a mere challenge but as a serious competitor to Moscow's brand of Communism. Tito's "warm arid hearty con gratulations" to Poland's "Tito ist" party leader Wladslaw Go mulka lent support to sugges tions that the square-jawed Yu goslav chief is marching for ward as the head of a new So cialist bloc in East and Central Europe. . ' This development recalled an earlier dream of the one-time partisan fighter to lead a Bal kan bloc of states in Central and Southeast Europe. That idea aroused Generalissimo Stalin's immediate suspicions and he promptly vetoed it. The scope of this scheme ap pears now to have widened be yond Stalin's wildest fears.
