CHILDREN ALIVE Mrs. Frank Cooper, 47, looks over a letter from the Red Cross in Hamburg, Germany, as she talks on the telephone at her home in Shelton, Wash. Mrs. Cooper, married to a retired Army sergeant, believed that her four children had been killed during World War II in Holland, is now convinced by two letters and a telephone call that her children are alive. She said she talked to her youngest son, Johannes Mak at Rotterdam and learned that her two other sons and a daughter are Women Shirt Boon to Shirt Industry By WALTER LOGAN United Press International New York - IUPD - A new breed of American woman has arisen in the land the shirt-snatcher. She prefers striped shirts to make her look taller and thinner but will take practically any kind she can get her hands on. The shirt - snatcher, accord ing to Maurice Parker, presi dent of Wilson Brothers, is boon to the shirt industry and the reason why men keep on buying an average of six to eight shirts apiece a year a high replacement ratio. Parker's company, which conducted a survey on the subject, says 86 per cent of the female population of the country are shirt-snatchers who cannot resist the com pulsion to beg, borrow or steal a shirt that strikes their fancy from a husbaid, father or brother. The company sent out 5,000 questionaires at random to women. The most rewarding find from the shirt manufac turers' standpoint was that 86 per cent of the women wear out more than two men's shirts a year and 76 per cent of this group wear out three or more. The survey also showed women have a great aversion to buying full cut men's shirts for their own use and wear only shirts purchased for the male members of the family. They prefer shirts which have been washed five or six times and are not par ticularly fond of shirts made especially for women. , They wear the men's shirts as pajamas and unbiushingly proclaim the long shirttails make It unnecessary to wear anything else to bed. They also use them as bathing suit tops, tops for filmy night gowns in cold weather, for housework, to the grocery and as maternity jackets. In or Out borne are worn in, some out, some are tied in a va riety of knots either at the waist or higher. Largely as result of the shirt snatchers, Parker said his company (which makes Enro shirts) had net sales of shirts amounting to S12.S million in 1961. with shirt- snatching still growing, he said, the 1962 figuie is ex pected to reach SIS million. He noted a ISO per cent in crease in sales from 1949 to 1961 and said: "I know we've had a population explosion Plarioour End PART its wmm RGILARENA PHONE KE OREGON . ' married and living in Germany. - Snatchers but the male population has not exploded that much." As for shirt snatchers in the spring of 1962, Parker said three trends will be no ticeable: A growth in the "fashion collar" snap tabs, pinned collars, spread collars. etc., a rise in popularity of colored shirts with a blue- green color leading the field and an increase in short sleev ed shirts for spring and sum mer. Parker said 95 per cent of the -hirts being sold for spring use have short sleeves and predicted the long-sleev ed shirt for warm weather would pass froi.i the scene en- tirely within 10 years. The short sleeved shirts will have two pockets. Another big trend Is' to' ward wash and wear. Most shirts under $5 are beginning to run toward wash and wear while most shirts over $5 are not because the man who can afford them can also afford to send them to the laundry. But even more expensive wash and wear is growing in popularity because it slays neater throughout the day than an ordinary shirt, Park er said.

New Admissions Policy Approved By UO Faculty Eugene - IUPD - A recom mended new admissions policy was approved Wednesday by the University of Oregon fac ulty. It calls for admission of students whose combined high school records and college en trance tests indicate they have a 50-50 chance of achieving a "C" average in their first year. Dr. Arthur S. Flemming, school president, said he agreed with the plan. "I would say," he said, "this would come about In an evolution ary manner. I think we can move In this direction in the next few years." To Consider Plan He will consider the fac ulty's plan in his own recom mendation to the State Board of Higher Education. The faculty last December approved a motion that the university control admissions over the academic year so mat the fall term enrollment In 1962 would not exceed the number for which the school had facilities. The recommen dations were modified Into an experimental policy of de ferred enrollment for 1962 at only the University of Ore. gon, to be put into effect if it appears enrollment will exceed the budgeted estimate. This plan was approved by the state board. Six Governors Attend Conference Anchorage.

Chief Justice Earl War ren "decides for the Com munists" in cases involving U.S. security. o 'uehel, a long-time asso ciate of Warr?f , led a spirited defense by members of both parties in the wake of East land's charges, made during Wednesday's Senate debate on the administration's liter acy test bill. Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R N.Y.) said he planned to ask bar associations to work with him in analyzing Eastland's charges that the court had a pro-Communist leaning in its decisions. Javits said he would discuss his findings later. Didn't Hear Criticism Eastland was not present when Kuchel, Javits and oth ers unlimbered their criticism ,of him today. Javits said Eastland tried to cast a "very serious cloud" over the justices "in trying to Identify them with some calculated process of eroding the Constitution a t e p by step." "If the Supreme Court is going to be attacked, it' should be defeneded," Javits said. The court, he said, is "one of the noblest bodies on earth and must be held up as a para gon of judicial virtue." Southerners are waging a talkathon against the measure to make a sixth grade educa tion a qualification for voters in federal elections. Support ers claim literacy tests now required in some southern states are used to disenfrarv chise Negroes. Disservice To Court Assistant Democratic Lead er Hubert H.
