(UPI Telephoto) Jacqueline Kennedy's Image In Country's Store Windows New York - fUPIt - A paint and plastic image of Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy is staring into the street 'today from store windows across the country. In some of the in, she's standing beside a toothy store dummy with the head, and name, of President of John F. Kennedy. And only a blizzard, it ap peared, prevented a pair of the mannequins from presid ing over a "little inaugural ball" at a swanky New Eng land country club during the week end. There's n o t h lug unusual about the use of such "rea sonable facsimiles" of the president or other respected individual in store windows celebrating a patriotic event, A Cordial Invitation to You!

Normally they're made of plaster for such special dis plays, however. Tempest Stirred No one could recall a pre' vious president and first lady who had been made up and sold ($150 each) as dress and suit display figures. Which may be just because it's a long time since a president's lady has been both a tall, mannequin size 10 and a spec tacularly fashionable figure. It's stirred up something of a tempest about good taste in a fashion world already brim ming over with "Jackie Ken nedy hats" and "Jackie Ken nedy hair-dos" and the over all "Jackie Kennedy look." Had 'Informal Cltaranct' Steve Carano, president of the mannequin firm which put the president and first lady's names on the models, is hurt by the question. He had "informal clearance" from a "proper source" close to Kennedy, Carano said. "We certainly made it in good taste. I don't know how it's any different from all I h e newspaper ads and every young girl in the street trying to look like her. Mrs. Ken nedy is the biggest thing in fashion today. We tried to compliment her." A competing mannequin manufacturer said her firm would have no Mrs. Kennedy model - "We thought it was in rather bad taste." But an other said his company cer tainly does have one, sculpted from photographs. They are holding it off the market for six weeks, he said, and then will sell it simply by model number - no name attached -like any other mannequin. Name of Chemical Is As Long as Alphabet Akron, Ohio-'UPb-Bromochlo. rodifluoromethanc, a word as long as the alphabet, didn't turn up in a chemist's night mare. It is a processed liquid pa tented by the Firestone Tire Motor Hotels Big Business In Heart of American Cities Is By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial tailor New York - HOT - Motor hotels now are booming In the last place they once might T have been ex- p e c t e a i o flourish in the heart of America's big cities. And the new super express ways In the big cities are r e s p o nsible Henrt Bechtold for this switch. Highway travelers have stopped shunning the downtown areas of big cities and now prefer to spend the night in a center-of-town mo tel easily reached via these new expressways and through-ways. No longer is a cornfield considered an ideal motel lo cation, according to Robert L. Stuart, manager of Chica go's Lake Tower motel, lo cated at the edge of the loop. And where motel property was once bought by the acre, it now is purchased by the square foot In prime down town locations. Drlvtr'i Delight It was not the cities the travelers were avoiding, it was the congested streets, Stuart declared. He said mo torists who reluctantly passed up an opportunity to see a big city because it would have meant fighting city traffic now are pouring downtown since the expressways have turned from a chore Into driver's delight. Once downtown, these mo torists look for the same mo tel convenience, informality and contemporary luxury they would want if they stay ed on the highway. They find it in the new downtown motels, according to Stuart, along with a few big-city twists. The Lake Tow er, for Instance, has an under ground garage and elevators to take guests to their rooms. Tourlili Gl Bonuiel. In coming to the center o the city, tourists get some ex tra bonuses, such as less noise than at highway or airport motels since the downtown area usually Is deserted at night. And for those that may want it, entertainment is close. This does not moan that the new city-style motel Is merely a hotel built late enough In the auto age to have its own garage, Stuart said. "It Is most definitely a motel, keyed to the needs of a nation on wheels." Where hotels often blend I n I o other city buildings, mo tels are architecturally de signed with eye-catching ex teriors. It is an idea that be gun on the highways to at tract attention of passingjnsS torists, and it works iust D well In the heart of town,"tWB motel manager said. Motels are springing up all over the downtown district, p(!, Houston, Minneapolis, jW ver, St. Louis. Omaha, Wa.slM Ington, Atlantic City, Wicbii ta, Tucson, Phoenix, Clevej land, Memphis, Birmingham"; San Diego, Dallas and SQ Antonio. Forest Fertilizer Research Started At Oregon State Corvallis - A new long range research project on for est fertilizers has been start ed by Oregon State college, and leaders see good possibili ties for the future in speeding tree growth. Dr. C, T. Youngbcrg, forest soils scientist in charge of the project, pointed out that ferti lizers have helped bring ad vances in agriculture, and he anticipates they can do the same for forestry. Youngberg has received two special grants to help get the extensive fertilizer studies un der way. One will be used for work in Eastern Oregon on ponderosa and lodge polo pine. The other will be for testing various types of nitrogen fer tilizers on fir and pine seed lings and old stands as well. The studies with pine will be done predominantly in De schutes, Klamath and Lake counties with the U. S. forest service, Weyerhaeuser com pany and Brooks - Scanlon, Inc., cooperating. - 11 Vt Million Acres Oregon has some II1. -4 mil lion acres of ponderosa pine or mixed pine forests and lit tle has been done to date on possibilities for using fertiliz ers, Youngberg noted. OSC studies will include tests with various levels and combinations o f nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, boron, and molybdenum. Spring and fall applications will be compared. Coupled with the field tests, Youngberg has greenhouse ex periments under way in an at- j tempt to develop information I on symptoms of nutrient dcfl- J ciency. Work is planned also : to determine basic levels of! nutritional requirements. Various types of long-lasting nitrogen fertilizers will be tested in the second phase of! the project. Special attention , will be given to fertilizers ap-' plied at the lime seedlings are planted to give them a "fast start" in life. Helping Youngberg in the studies is Wesley Chichester of Cheshire. Conn., graduate research fellow in forest soils.
