t Rackets Group May Offer Legislative Recommendations Washington (U.R) Chair man John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) says that his Senate Rackets Committee may introduce sev eral legislative recommendations before the end of the present session of Congress. The committee prepared to resume its investigations Tues day into misconduct in labor and management. It will begin scruti nizing certain union activities in the Scranton, Pa., area. McClellan said the committee expects to hear 12 to 15 wit nesses in three or four days of public hearings. He said con spiracy among union leaders, "coercion," "violence" and the activities of a so-called goon squad will figure in the case. Action By June McClellan had indicated pre viously that the committee would submit no legislative pro psals to Congress this session, feut he said Sunday that the $rup may come up with several m June. He did not spell out what the recommendations might be. But Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D Minn.) said Congress is in a nopd to pass legislation "for the protection of union health and welfare funds." Humphrey said such action is "long overdue" but cautioned against letting "emotion get the best of judgment." The committee was expected to direct much of its attention in the Scranton inquiry to elections involvling officers of the local Teamsters Union and to the 1954 dynamiting of a home that was being built by a non-union con tractor. Teamsters Call Meeting The senators also were expect ed to scrutinize allegations that there was fraud in the building of the $33 million Army Signal Corps Depot, in Tobyhanna, Pa.

Portland Teamster Meeting Draws 150 Portland (U.R) A scheduled mass meeting of rank-and-file Teamsters Union members here Sunday drew only 150 persons. Leaders of the meeting to pro test against international offi cers of the union had expected more than 2000 teamsters from regional locals to attend. They said bad weather cut attendance. A simultaneous meeting of Local 81, composed of line, local and pickup and delivery team stems, gave a vote of confidence to Clyde C. Crosby, Teamsters international representative who is under grand jury indictment. Reports said this meeting was at tended by some 300 union mem bers. Robert B. Miller, temporary co-chairman of the protesting rank-and-file committee which called the mass meeting at the Auditorium, urged that Team sters President Dave Beck, Frank Brewster, Western Con ference leader, and Crosby re sign. The group also approved reso lutions calling for an elected committee to audit books of the locals and advocating that no union checks be made out for cash and that financial records be kept for three years.

Zig-Zag Automatically SEWING CENTER On All Makes Demonstration 313 East 8th Street In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS World in turmoil note: Russia is warning more or less all the nations of Western Eu rope that if they permit their soil to be used for bases from which atomic weapons might be launched at Russia they'll be DESTROYED pronto. Little Denmark is the latest to be warned. The Danish gov ernment says it will not permit its territory to be used for AG GRESSION against Russia but it will NOT BUCKLE UNDER to threats from Moscow. Good for little Denmark. It isn't always the big ones that have the most courage. SAUDI ARABIA sends a formal notice to the nations of the world that it regards the Gulf of Aqaba as an ARAB LAKE and will not permit Israeli ships to use it. The United States has made freedom of the . Aqaba gulf a point of policy. We claim it is INTERNATIONAL WATER and as such is free to the ships of the world. We point out in support of this policy that our own su preme court has ruled in the past that even our own GREAT LAKES in certain situations are international water. In support of this policy, we MIGHT send an American mer chant ship into the Aqaba gulf and convoy it with American warships. IT'S a touchy world, isn't it? It looks like everybody is getting ready to bite everybody else in the leg. I suspect, though, that a lot of bluffing may be going on. Any way, we'll see what we'll see. LET'S turn to more cheerful subjects. The scientists are doing heavy research on two of the common summer nuisances hay fever and the lowly ant. They say they are hot on the trail of a trouble some ingredient in ragweed pollen. They think they have isolated a substance in the pollen that causes skin reactions and asth matic attacks in persons suscep tible to hay fever. All that will remain after that will be to find another substance that will kill the substance that is causing all the trouble. OREGON, in a year when tax money is hard to find, is thinking of spending a lot of money to get rid of ragweed. Maybe we'd better wait a while and see if the researchers can solve the problem. NOW for the ant. A researcher prowling around down in Africa has made what may be an epochal discov ery. He found out that if he kill ed an ant and left it in the ant trail, the rest of the ants would get scared and pull out. He says he tried obliterating the trails, spraying chemicals, etc. But the only thing that would work was leaving a dead ant on the road. That did the business every time, he says. HMMM. If that scheme works, all one would have to do would be to kill an ant and leave its carcass in front of the hole by which the ants enter the kitchen cupboard. I'm afraid it's too simple to be true. It violates the ancient rule that the hard way is the best way.

He'd never marry her. Olga M. I made a mistake several years ago and I am now suffering the consequences. I made a very bad marriage when I was 18. My husband was un faithful, cruel and miserly and I was bitterly unhappy. We separated, but I did not have a divorce. I started going with another man, who was also un happily married, and soon I found myself pregnant. Our di vorces did not go through in time for us to be married before the birth of my son. Then we quarreled and finally he ran out on me. Since then I've been living a quiet life with my 6-year-old boy. My ex-husband died three years ago and I've been calling myself a widow. My son's father has disappeared and I've been supporting the two of us. Recently I met an extremely fine man who wants to marry me. I feel I should tell him the whole story. I do not like to deceive him, but I'm afraid of how he'll react. My sister says I should keep quiet. Helen D. Olga does not men tion that the man who wants to marry her happens to be an extremely moral, upright per son. She met him through a church social group in which he is very active. He looks up to Olga as "the finest woman I've ever known." In fact, he seems almost to worship her for her goodness. If Ed ever found out the whole truth about Olga, I don't know what he'd do. I almost think he'd go crazy: One thing I'm sure about he'd never marry her. I feel that Olga has suffered so much and paid so dearly that she is entitled to this chance at happiness and shouldn't take any risks. Olga has her son to consider, too. The boy should Around Hollywood' Hollywood U.R) Starlet Vikki Dougan's backless dresses have some competition in Hollywood's who - shows what contest: Eva Gabor is baring her bra. The more sub dued member of the Gabor blondes is Aline Mosby catch ing up with, or at least getting closer to, sister Zsa Zsa in the sensa tional department. Eva reveals she likes to wear her blouses "unbuttoned to the navel" and is going to display the new idea in a movie. Her "peek-a-boo bra" came to light when she had to wear one in "Don't Go Near the Water," MGM's version of the best-selling book. The blonde beauty plays a female war correspond ent who, the script says, wan ders around 2,000 men in her GI uniform unbuttoned to the waist so the black lace of her brassiere shows. MGM designer Helen Rose labored long over creating a fance white bra with black lace in the middle. Bra Showing No Novelty But Eva shrugs this is no nov elty because in real life she be lieves in girls letting a bit of their bras show. "I always leave my blouses unbuttoned nearly to the waist," Money-saving joint fares fares call 2-6161 or your have a father and you can't ask for a better one. The whole thing about Olga's past is very well hidden. We now live in a different com munity. The child's father will never turn' up because he's afraid he might be charged with non-support of the boy. Olga is really safe as far as that goes. The Council: The very rea sons that Helen gives for not telling this man the full story make it important that Olga should tell. If Ed would "go crazy" if he ever found out and if there is a strong possibility that he would not marry her under those conditions, it is es sential that he now be told the truth. No secret is so deeply buried that it cannot be unearthed. Olga knows this and would be living under constant strain, fear and shame at having added de ception to her guilt. On the other hand, Helen is very likely to be wrong in her estimation of what Ed's reac tion would be. He would prob ably be deeply disturbed at first, but since he is moral and up right, Olga's truthfulness will be in her favor. If he is religious, he believes in forgiveness and in Olga's case, there appears to be every reison to forgive. She has evidently been living a righteous life of devotion to her child, and her suffering and the manner in which she has risen above her difficultes may have a strong appeal for this man. If the true story has such an impact, that it would make Ed unable to marry Olga, it would be better that they do not mar ry. His "worship" of Olga un der false pretenses may be more than she can stand. The truth may tear down his idol, but it will force him either to accept or reject Olga as the real human being she is. Copyright 1957. General Features Corp.) By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent she shrugged. "It's very pretty, isn't it?" 'That Vikki Dougan," she sniffed. "Anybody can show that! I think that her blackless clothes are terrible. It's the press that encourages this kind of behavior by always taking her picture. "But not everybody can wear a peek-a-boo bra!" Eva contin ued. "If a woman has too much cleavage it looks common. If she doesn't have enough, gaposis might result. Just showing a bit of the bra is all right, sort of an insinuation. You can get away with it." Sisters Experts in Field Eva can give quite a mono logue on the art of buying un derwear, in fact. . All the Ga bors, although they don't stick to one man very long, at least are experts on the subject of hooking them. "I love frilly lingerie," Eva sighed. "So what if anybdoy sees it? You do and when you know you have on pretty under things it makes you feel more fluffy and feminine." Eva's black panties also are a big "star" of this comedy about war correspondents and public relations officers. Her drawers are sheer and edged with black lace and fly from the masthead of a ship. "When we went on location to the SS Rochester, the sailors travel Agent Monday, April 15, 1957 French Authoress Near Death After Highway Accident Paris (U.R) Francoise Sagan, precocious French authoress who "loves to drive 125 miles and hour barefoot," hovered near death in a hospital today as the result of a highway accident that may have broken her neck. The 21-year-old author of "Bonjour Tristesse" was serious ly injured when one of her five sports cars ran off a country road south of Paris and rolled over several times in a field. Passengers Injured Three passengers in the British-made Aston-Matrin, Veroni que Champion, Bernard Frank and Waldemar Lestienne, also were injured in the crash. They were reported in "satisfactory" condition today. Miss Sagan was in a coma for more than nine hours. She re covered consiousness early to day, and was able to mumble sev eral words. Then doctors promptly put her back to sleep with a shot of morphine to ease what they said was "severe pain." All of her face, except her mouth and one eye, was swathed in bandages. "There has been a very slight improvement, but her life is still in danger," said Dr. Jacques Le Beau, who is attending Miss Sagan at a hospital in suburban Neuilly. Le Beau said it will be two or three days before any one can tell whether she will live. Miss Sagan's taste for speed is well-known. Paris police officials warned her last year that if she didn't slow down they would lift her license. She complained of strict speed limits during a visit to the United States. "I love to drive 125 miles an hour barefoot . . ." she said. "I think they should let you drive at least 90 miles an hour."

Popularity Despite all the publicity given to songs featured by Elvis Presley and singers of a similar type the three most popular songs of 1956 were, "On The Street Where You Live," "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "Poor People of Paris." Also it now appears that among the first three leaders of this year's popularity poll will be "True Love," the appealing song from the film titled High Society. Brides - A recent bride, who had an elaborate church wedding, said that for "something blue" she wore a blue garter. For "some thing borrowed" she wore a pair of her sister's nylon stockings. She said that "something new" was covered by the wedding dress and "something old" by a tiara she wore. She evidently forgot something. That was the "silver sixpence in her shoe." Most brides of today are very unimaginative. For "something blue" they practically all wear blue garters. Can't they think of anything else that is blue?
