Doll and Wardrobe IPDitpirairiri New spring clothes will be available in west coast stores be fore Christmas., according to a release from San Francisco, where Market Week ended November 13. All of which leaves Potpourri very confused. Winter weather has hardly begun, Thanksgiving isn't until next week and Christmas is more than a month away. What will the poor merchants do now hang the Easter bonnets on the Christmas trees in their windows? Our one woman campaign against the "sack look" suffered a serious blow in S.F., too. According to the release the sack dress dominated the early spring showings, which was contrary to the news from Los Angeles the week before. Walter Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers i of America and one of the most important labor leaders of the j United States, delivered one of the most impressive speeches made during the recent UNESCO conference in San Francisco, if one can judge by the coverage in the Bay city papers. Writers for the SF papers reported his long speech on Asian-Indian-American re lations in great detail and commented that the 1500 delegates re ceived it with enthusiasm. Mr. Reuther charged that this country's foreign policy toward Asians is "antiquated" and said that the present crisis is not eco nomic or political or military in character, but moral. He said that the struggle against Communism is not a matter of geography, but for the "hearts and minds'of people and that you cannot win that struggle with a bigger H-bomb or a longer range guided missile. The U.S. and the free world still are trying to achieve "su premacy" he declared, when the real struggle is for "survival," and added that we failed to comprehend "the new dimensions of war and the new promise of peace." Reuther said it was all to the good for the U.S. and the free world to remain strong militarily to cope with aggression but "we need to understasd that military power is but the negative aspect of a dynamic foreign policy, that it can only buy time and the opportunity, and that the decisive thing is what do you do with the opportunity how do you use the time that you are able to buy with military power." "We believe (in the labor movement) that we must find a way to take the offensive on the economic and social fronts in the practical, down-to-earth, positive struggle against poverty, against hunger, against human desperation, because it is in these areas, in the greater economic and social cesspools of the world in which Communism is perfecting the techniques by which it forges pov erty into power." Mr. Reuther believes Asia must have top priority in the free world's plans because of its "hundreds of millions of hungry and desperate peoples" on the march to "catch up with the 20th cen tury." He outlined a program for action in Asia and suggested that we de-emhpasize the military aspects of our foreign policy towards Asia because "economic and social problems" come first. The labor leader also said that America needs to do more at home about the "serious moral gap between American democra cy's noble promises and its ugly practices in the field of civil rights" and pointed out that even in the smallest villages of Asia and Africa "they know about Montgomery, Ala., and Little Rock, Ark." Speaking about aid to foreign countries, Mr. Reuther said we should not insist on "rigid conformity" but must "achieve unity in diversity within the broad framework of the basic values that we respect as free people." He urged Americans not to insist that "you are either with us or against us" and reminded his audience that the United States, as a new nation, withdrew to a position of greater isolation than the so-called unaligned nations of Asia have now. He chided Americans for forgetting what the "Good Book" says about it being more noble to give than, to receive and said "there is still too much of this attitude that for every ton of aid there ought to be shipped back a ton of gratitude all wrapped up in cellophane with ribbon on it." The labor leader said the U.S. should "de-emphasize our uni lateral approach to these problems and begin to do more for the United Nations." Mrs. Lorraine Blair, Chicago femme who heads the only all woman investment house in America, says that from 14 to 40 a woman needs good looks, from 40 to 60, personality and charm, and after 60 cash.
