Dress Designer llyana Claims New Look Is Attempt By Women To Hide Failure As Wives, Mothers HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 33 A new angle on the new look came today from Designer llyana. 8hc says women dress that way to hide their fnlliiio as wives and mothers. Petticoats, ruffles, camisoles, corselets, padded hips, full bosoms and flannel nighties, she says, are nothing but psychological symbols of modern women's admission nf failure as a female. " Addressing a meeting of the Beverly Hills chapter of War Wives, the Hudupe.st-bnrn llyana declared: "The female sex is universally retreating toward a great, swollen maternal Image of the past. Clothes era sex symbols. Our mothers and grandmothers seem to hold the key to successful marriage and mother hood far better than wc, so like little girls we are dressing up In their clothes mid pretending to be our own maternal forbears." Mr. Harold Dreyfus In private life, happily married and with an 11-montli-old daughter, Ilynua Isn't against the new look. In tact, she claims, she started designing feminine apparel In tho old mode two year before Christian Dior clicked with his hippy, elongated styles.

Bevin Sees Third War LONDON, Jan. 22 I IP) Foreign Secretary Bevin said today Soviet Russia is making a ruthless drive to dominate Europe and that he believed continuance of this policy by any one power will lead to another war.

Bevin said Russia's reacUon to the Marshall plan has unmasked her desire to control Western as well as Eastern Europe. "The Marshall program has brought to light vividly what must have been under the surface all along," he asserted. Nevertheless he emphasized Brit ish eagerness to cooperate with the Soviets, saying. "It is madness to think of any thing else If we are ever going to have peace. "But the British government can not agree to four-power cooperation while one of those four powers con tinues to. impose its political and economic system on Uie smaller states."
