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

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

The youth and government
program is sponsored by the
Pacific Northwest Area Coun

school boys and girls oppor
tunities to learn processes of
government by actual parti
cipation; and to discover
through practical experiences,

responsibilities of Christian

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."
