FOUR MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, January 30, 1958 Wilbur, the Office Grouch, Pretends Lack of Interest in Women's Sack Fad By doc quigg United Press Correspondent Kew York W Wilbur, our office grouch, has adopt ed a philosophic outlook on the fad of bag, or sack, dress es in which milady is chemis ing herself. "It is none of my affair," he said. "If women want to make ashes of themselves in sackcloth, let them go right ahead." He said it, not me. Take your complaints to him. Press ed on what he really thought about the new fashion, he said: "I think it's merely bag ging the question, the ques tion of the bag may turn out to be academic. In the case of women's styles, now you see it, now you don't. The New York fashion showings a couple weeks ago plumped for a gunnysack look for American galhood. From Sacks To Sex But in Paris, whence the sack shape sprang forth like a monstrous ogre last July , and breathed its poisonous message around the world, the spring season showings this week so far seem to be the greatest reversal from sacks to sex since Roy Riegels galloped to glory. Doubtless influenced by anguished cries from males in all nations, the Parisian fash ion boys are said to be sack-' ment might look like 10 years ing the sack and returning ! from now. Three predictions to clothing that shows signs of whats underneath it. However, in Italy there's still bad news. The Italian fashions, instead of reversing themselves to something more form-fitting, have progressed right through the sack on ward and outward into a thing called the barrel shape. It looks something like a blimp standing on end. What of the Future? So much for the cloudy present. What of the future? A New York firm put on a show recently in which it at tempted to project what a ladies' retail clothing depart- were notable One was the Idea that a decade from now women might be fitted by radar. Another was the suggestion that a brassiere might be manufactured on a do-it-yourself basis applied in a spray-on from an aerosol bottle and removable by washing. The third Idea was an el ectronic cash register with its tendrils in all phases of the business, able to tell the pro prietor not only the current sale but also keeping track of the stock sold and how much is left. Rye Sfafes Outlaw Bias in Housing Chicago OP Discrimina tion is now prohibited by five states in housing financed by mortgages, backed by govern ment agencies, the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials re ported. Four of the states, Massa chusetts, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington, added the laws this year. New York had passed legislation earlier. Bills prohibiting bias in any housing, whether public ly backed or not, came near passage but failed in the Min nesota and New York legist tures. Minnesota's 1 e g i s 1 ature, however, set up a commission to investigate the need for such legislation in the state Y Government Activities Start Annual youth and govern ment activities get under way at the Young Men's Christian association with the selection of candidates by each Hi-Y and Tri Hi-Y club in Medford, The youth and government program is sponsored by the Pacific Northwest Area Coun cil of YMCA's to provide high school boys and girls oppor tunities to learn processes of government by actual parti cipation; and to discover through practical experiences, the problems, obligations, and responsibilities of Christian citizenship in the American democracy.

STUDENTS SKIRMISH WITH POLICE A group of Neapolitan students falls to the ground during skirmishes with police in front of the Naples State University. Some 80 students had barricaded-themselves inside one of the university's buildings to protest a new state examination law. About 60 students were injured. Protests were also staged at other Italian universities. The new law imposes an examination upon the student after he graduates and before he is allowed to practice his profession. Neuberger Asks Rate Suspension Washington (W Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D Ore.) today asked the Inter state Commere Commission to suspend a two per cent freight increase on lumber and forest products. Neuberger said the ICC an nounced the increase during the last week of December, to be effective Feb. 1, "thus denying the lumber industry sufficient time to oppose it." In a letter to ICC Chairman Howard G. Freas, Neuberger said that if the proposed in creases are allowed to be come effective "the inevitable result can only mean a fur ther decrease of lumber ship ping in Oregon, and another sharp increase in unemployment."
