Phono SP 2-7153 Early American Style Favorite At Home Show By MARUERITE DAVIS United Press International Chicago -(CPD- The annual mid - winter International Home Furnishings show got underway today with displays for all tastes, but with Early American the obvious style favorite. Manufacturers who never before handled the style have added Early American group ings, or designed modern fur niture with a feeling of the colonial days-a tester bed, peg detailing, a trestle table, and plank effects. The theme is carried out in lamps and decorative acces sories. There are John and Priscilla Alden wall plaques, a clock topped with an Amer ican eagle, oil lamps repro duced on a modern pole lamp and Williamsburg reproduc tions in fireplace pieces. An Oriental influence is seen in some lines, primarily in lacquered table tops, deli cate flower tracings and grass cloth on sliding panels. Eye-pleasing patterns are fashionable. A laminated plas tic called micarta," multi-col-lored in swirling abstract de signs, is used on chests and tables fon. interesting accent pieces, and wallpaper pat terns are applied to the in teriors of chests and cabinets for another means of decora tion. Handsome woods are prom inent. Mahogany is enjoying a new popularity, competing with walnut and cherry in suites of a single wood. There also are combinations. Walnut is used with rosewood or pe can, teak with rosewood, mah ogany or oak, usually with clear finishes which show the grain of the wood. Tall lamps,, ranging from 40 to 50 inches high, are shown in' traditional and Or iental designs. Manufacturers report white outclasses all colors in popularity. , Manufactured fabrics are widely used; for . carpeting and draperies. A new fiber glass yarn is displayed for window curtains, and a newly developed nylon filament pro vides carpeting which is said to be shed-proof and fuzz- proof. New designs are shown' for matching fabrics and wall papers. Neutral colors are the most popular- off-white, pewter and shades of brown are used with sharp accent colors.: A crimson rattan Mandarin chair, black and red lacquer table tops, bottle green for dining room chairs, and. a tra ditional upholstered chair in robin's egg blue are examples of this. , .

He told the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce round table yesterday he considers labeling necessary because of "the trend of manufacturers to insert paper fibre and other cheap imitations into shoes." He said these materials re sult in premature wearing-out thus causing additional ex pense and in some cases phys ical damage to feet. "Primarily," he explained, "it is directed at schoolchil dren, teen-agers and women who buy shoes primarily for style." He said shoe manufac turers were leery of using such materials in men's shoes, since men seek long-wearing footwear more than their wives or offspring.

"You were right," Porter wrote in his letter, "in saying there is a lot of interest in the shoe labeling bill. I have had many telephone calls and other indications of interest. "It is all set to be dropped in the hopper, which is the way we file bills, on the first day of the 86th Congress, that is, January 7, 1959. "The next stage will be to ask the chairman of the In terstate and Foreign Com merce committee, my friend, Oren Harris (D-Ark.), to re quest reports from the vari ous interested departments of government and once we have those reports, to press for a hearing. May Visit Factory "It is my plan to visit one or two shoe factories as soon as I can to understand better what is involved in the mak ing and the labeling of shoes." Gardner said last month that Sen. Richard L. Neuberg er (D-Ore.), has agreed to sponsor the bill in the Sen- i ate, and that both Porter and Neuberger have been seeking co-sponsors. Asked if he planned to at tend the Congressional hear ings, Gardner said he has re ceived "no direct reports" as to whether he will be called. But, he added, "if they want me, I'll sell my bicycle and go." Gardner emphasized that he is not out to stop .the use of cheap synthetic materials in shoes-he simply believes people have the right to know what they're ' buying. " Mentions Legislation He mentioned fur labeling legislation as an example of laws already in effect.. ' He said his sights, are on the' shoe manufacturers, not shoe retailers. "I have never directed my attack against shoe retailers," he said. "In fact, I feel sorry for them. "I have felt retail shoe stores should have done what I am doing long ago to pro tect themselves from the in roads of these cheap mater ials." Gardner operates a shoe repair shop at 612 East Main st.
