- Hong Kong Thar cheongsam slits seem to enhance the
: charm of two Malayan-Chinese working girls as they cross
street in Singapore. After research in Singapore, Hong
' Kong and Taipei, three major Chinese centers, correspond
ents have completed a survey on the cheongsam slit. Their
verdict is that Hong Kong women wear the highest sill
skirts in Asia, or, for that matter, in the world.

Correspondents Conduct
Survey About Cheongsam
By GERRY XAVIER
United Press International
' Hong Kong-IUPD-Hong Kong
women wear the highest slit
skirts in Asia, or for that mat
ter, the world. Taipei and
Singapore? They lake a back
seat.
This claim is the product
of a survey undertaken by
correspondents in the three
major Chinese centers. (And
we've got the photographs to
prove our case.)
Some Asian women living
outside Hong Kong may pro
; test: They wear higher slits.
, Thai's possible. For in-
stance, there's a secretary in
Kuala Lumpur who, it was
told, wears her cheongsam cut
so high there was always a
general question as to whelh-
er she is wearing anything
underneath. After consider-
questioning, it was learned
that she did indeed wear I
something underneath - spe-1
cially curved panties which
were extremely narrow at the
hip line.
But she's an exception. Our
findings are based on aver
ages. Because there is no fixed
length for a cheongsam slit,
statistics-gathering has been
Interestingly controversial at
times.
The average Hong Kong
cheongsam slit measures eight
inches up from the knees and
inches down from knees,
total length of the slit being
about 10 inches.
Names Mixed
What is a cheongsam? Lit
erally, It means the long
flowing robe worn by Chinese
men.
The eye-appealing tradition
al dress of the Chinese daugh
ter is correctly called the
chlpaor. How these names be
came mixed up is unknown.
though definitely it Is a little
' too late for correction.
The chlpaor was first Intro
duced to China during the
Manchu Dynasty some 3S0
years ago.
Ironlcnlly, the slits up both
aides of the skirt then were
cut much higher, reaching as
far as the waist-but the wom
en wore long trousers. The
complete outfit looked similar
to that of Vietnamese women
nowadays.
Of the Asian countries Doll
ed, Singapore and Taipei were
Hong Kong's strongest rivals
lor the high slit.
So eye-catching was the slit
In Taipei, it shocked Mrs.
Vanna Chcnnault, Chinese
widow of the late Lt. Gen.
Claire Chcnnault.
Mrs. Chcnnault made pub
lic her criticisms of the high
tilt in a magazine article in
which she said Chinese wom
en in Taipei lit their skirts

too high for modesty.
Said Not Suitable
She said the style origin
ated with women of ill-repute
in Shanghai years ago and
was not suitable for women
of virtue.
Hong Kong, too, has been
under fire in recent months.
But the remarks came main
ly from foreigners passing
through and were unheeded.
Hong Kong girls said they
were not perturbed.
We are not interested with
what these foreigners have to
say, however qualified their
opinions may be."
But at this very moment,
some tailors are turning out
short slit cheongsams.
This has given rise to specu
lation even though the high
slit skirls greatly outnumber
the modified versions, some
think the Hong Kong girls
are getting self-conscious from
too much criticism.
But knowing tailors offer
logical explanation. They
say that if the Hong Kong
housewife and family girl
should really decide to make
the short slit this year's fash
ion, it's not because of ad
verse public opinion, but be
cause she's beginning to real
ize she can't fight the attrac
tive dance hostess whose slit
skirts can reach incredibly
daring heights.
What docs the male have
to say about all this?
The bachelor's viewpoint
was, and still is, a foregone
conclusion.
Husbands say: "Let the
bachelor girls do the "win
ning" for Hong Kong. We are
not interested in our wives
winning the Miss Cheongsam
contest."

Scientists Seek Answer
To Why Music Is Music
Chicago They're search
ing for the "lost chord" at the
Massachusetts Institute o f
Technology.
In a study financed by the
National Association of Mu
sic Merchants, MIT research
ers armed with computers,
electric eyes, high speed cam
eras and tape recorders are
looking for the proverbial
"lost chord" of musical tradi
tion, trying to discover the
unknowns" in the music
field.
"The research we are spon
soring at MIT may start any
where in music, and may end
somewhere or n o w h e r e,"
notes William R. Gard, execu
tive secretary of the Music
Merchants group headquar
tered in Chicago. "We are try
ing to find out specifically
why music is music. We are
seeking to discover new ave
nues in music, new directions
and literally find the lost
chord famed in song."
The five-year MIT project
is described as exploring the
mechanics of music from a
purely scientific approach,
ranging from mathematical
analysis of musical notes to
photographic studies of vibra
tions made by musical instru
ments. Experiments are con
ducted by MIT's department
of physics and described as
Basic Research in Music.
"At a time when science
seemingly is devoting all of
its efforts to finding new nu
clear weapons and new ways
to crash into outer space, it Is
significant that some men of
science are still interested in
cultural pursuits, and seeking
ways and means for more en
joyment of the finer aspects
of life," Gard noted. "It well
may be that there Is far more
hope of finding a path to
world peace in such research,
than in atom smashing."
Need For Music
"At MIT despite all the in
tensive scientific research In
to atom and space, the faculty
and students still find much
need for music with eight
courses taught at the institute
and such extracurricular ac
tivities as a chorus, which
toured Europe last year, a
band, a symphony orchestra,
a woodwind and brass ensem
ble and a glee club "
Gard summed up the new
MIT music project:
"The end results may pro
duce benefits of undreamed-of
importance and value to the
music world --or possibly
wind up in a dead end, still
unable to find the elusive lost
chord. But we do want to
learn exactly what makes mu
sic what It Is, and once es
tablishing that, perhaps we
can extend :hr findings to
areas previously Inconceiv
able In the music field."
The Music Merchants proj
ect is conducted In the elec
tronics research laboratory at
MIT and uses among other
equip ucnt a large 1UM-704
computer, which converts mu
sic signals Into numerical
form, Hie numbers are then
analyzed by a digital comput
er, before being lurther brok
en down Into musical tones.

"The experiments are just

may find a lost hord, if Ihere
exists such a thing in the mu

Mother of Champion Says
She's Proud of
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
Grosslnger, N.Y. - (UPD -
Naturally Mrs. Jens Johans
son wants her son, Ingemar,
to retain his world heavy
weight boxing title.
But win or lose, she said,
the motherly pride always
will be there.
"Of course I am proud that
he is a champion," she said,
but I'm even prouder that he
is a good son."
It was one of the rare times
that Ebba Johansson, a small,
shy woman of 48, has sat
down with a reporter to talk
about the one of her four
children who grew up to
world fame and riches.
The setting was the spacious
lawn behind the white two-
story frame house here in the
Catskill Mountains, '-'here the
Johansson and her only
daughter, Eva, a pert - faced
blonde of 17, were sunning
themselves when I arrived.
We were joined by Jens
Johansson, 53, I n g e m a r's
father, a former laborer who
for the last four years has
managed his son, and Bob
Lantz, a friend of the family
Ingemar was sleeping.
Eva and her father speak
English fairly well. Mrs. Jo
hansson understands a little
but prefers to let her daughter
or husband interpret.
"Ingo is a busy person
Mrs. Johansson said, pointing
out that there Is plenty to do
just being champion. The
boxer also operates numerous
business enterprises in their
native Goteborg, Sweden.
Since winning the title last
June from Floyd Patterson,
whom he meets again tonight,
Ingemar has become some
what of a television and movie
star.
"But," said mama, "he is
never too busy for us ... to
take care of all of us."
Matter of fact, the fighter
usually travels family plan.
When he set up training camp,
he moved in all but one Jo
hansson an older brother,
Henry, remained in Sweden,
plus his long-time fiancee,
Birgit Lundgren.
Last year at training camp,
Mrs. Johansson cooked for the
whole group. "Sometimes,
she said, "with all the friends
that dropped in, we'd have
15 or even 20 for dinner.
This year, Ingemar hired
cook. He told me I should get
some rest.
The fighter trains on an
"eat - everything" diet, she
said, ranging from traditional
Swedish meat balls to Ry-
