By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York IUPD As travel booms, so does one major fa cet of the fashion industry the sportswear division. One leading New York clothing manufactur e r says that America on the go has i the sports- Cay Pauley wear market to the point where we women now s p e n a approximately $1.5 billion annually on everything from ski pants to separates to bathing suits.

Penney's Metianinc Fashion Floor boom in travel which has zoomed in the past few years from summer vacations and tours to a hundred million Americans on the move around the calendar year, around the world, North, East, South and West, from pine trees to palm trees. "Where ever they go, the great need and use is for sportswear." Envy of World Draddy, in a talk before the New York fashion group, an organization of women in the fashion and allied fields, said that sportswear has be come "part of the life of America, the part that differs from all the rest of the world . . . and I might add, the envy of women in every other nation in the world . . ." The manufacturer said that to define the term sports wear was difficult because the field always was growing but he listed these stable categories: Knitwear, sweat ers, swim suits, coordinates, play coordinates, separates with all their multiple sub divisions of skirts, pants, tops and shirts, sun clothes, ski clothes, action clothes, college clothes, party separates, at- home clothes, raincoats. There is an even further breakdown of description, said Draddy. "Dresses aren't dresses. They're sleeveless sheaths, cu lotle dresses, two-p i e c e r s, shirt dresses . . . "Pants aren't pants. They are stretch pants, knee cap pers, cabin boys, Scandina vians, capris, jamaicas, ber mudas, short shorts, wolf calls . . . "Skirts aren't skirts. They are stitch pleats, flares, cu lottes, knee ticklers, button fronts, back wraps, dirndls . . . "... Color isn't color. Pink is strawberry, orange is apricot, green in lime. Purple is here today and gone to morrow when it may become mauve or magenta . Growing Field To the manufacturers of sportswear, Draddy con tinued, "there 8 fun in it Growtli In It. Opportunity un limited for adventuresome spirits. You get to work early, work hard all day, leave late, worry and fret, and at the end of the year, what do you have? A fortune!" To cite the growth of our sports clothes buying, as tra vel lias boomed, Draddy quot ed these statistics from the In ternational Ladies Garment Workers Union (1LGWU). In union shops in 10.19, there were turned out: 34.6 million blouses, 13 million skirts, 8.6 million pairs of slacks. By 1953, the totals were 129.2 million blouses, 57.4 million skirts, 6.4 million ; slacks. Last year, the figures I were 197.7 million blouses, ! 112 4 million skirts, and 31 million pairs of slacks. "1 predict." said Draddy, "that by 1970, there will be j well over half a billion units ! manufactured."
