to strengthen the economy

fense of his administration.
The Democrats indicated Ore
gon's economy is somewhat
sick and needs improvement,
a Democratic transfusion.
Of the other two candi
dates, one said the main issue
hasn't developed yet and the
other had no answer.
The replies, with the Demo

Insuranceman from Portland

Agriculture
Attaches Called
For Conference
Washington - IUPI) - The Ag
riculture Department has call
ed about 50 of its 60 over
seas attaches to return to
Washington for a conference
May 8-11.
The conference will bring
together U.S. agricultural at
taches from throughout the
world, Washington officials,
and representatives of farm
trade organizations.
The department said pur
pose of the conference will
be to develop means of fur
thering foreign trade and
other U.S. agricultural objec
tives through exchange of
views and information.
Firjt Call
This is the first time the at
taches have been called to
headquarters. Heretofore at
tache conference have been
on a regional basis.
The attaches are the eyes
and ears of the department in
foreign countries. As inter
national crop reporters, they
compile reliable estimates of
yield and production of major
crops throughout the world.
They find out what foreign
countries have to sell and
what they need to buy. This
information is valuable to
American agriculture devoted
to the export trade.
The department said the at
taches not called home were
those who were recently as
signed. Missouri Man Gets

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

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.

Passengers are apt to leave

Policy Approved
By UO Faculty
Eugene - IUPD - A recom

the University of Oregon fac

students whose combined high
school records and college en

their first year.
Dr. Arthur S. Flemming,
school president, said he

The faculty last December
approved a motion that the

Eastland's Charges
Against Justice
Warren Attacked
Washington - 0IPII - Senate
Republican whip Thomas H
Kuchel (Calif.) today accused
Sen. James O. Eastland CD-
Miss.) of making a "shocking
agd evil charge" in saylntOHumphrey said
th-'. 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. Humphrey
(Minn.) later discussed East'
land's charge with newsmen
He said "the chief justice is a
great American and a coura
geous and learned judge.
Humphrey told a reporter
that Warren and the other
Supreme Court justices "ap
ply the Constitution to the
difficult problems of the mod'
ern day."
