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.
She ays her ideas were too radical for New York, so she headed West.

Production Up
Seen As Way To
Beat Inflation
WASHINGTON, Jan. 33 P AFL President William Green proposed
today management and labor voluntarily set up a 46-hour work wtakt
on an overtime pay basis a a means of producing more goods ana
helping to beat Inflation. i
The 74-year-old labor leader told the senate banking committee that
labor would consider the extra work hours If congress, in turn, would
approve an effecUve means for halting Uie price spiral. ,
This would Include moat of the 10-point antl-lnflatlon program
recommended to congress by President Truman, except standby authori
ty to control wage. Green said In a prepared statement. ,
Green auggested an extra hour of work a day. He told a reporter
that thla would mean an Increase from the present 40-hour work week
In most industries to 45 hours, with labor receiving time and one-hall
pay for the extra five hours.
"I offer this suggestion a a practical recommendation of the way
in which employer and worker 1
could JolnUy make a contribution
to the anU-lnflatlon fight," Green
said In his statement.
t.000.00 Hour
He estimated that 16,000.000 work
ers now employed In manufacturing
would provide an additional 8,000,
000 "manhours of production per
day" under his proposal.
Tonight (7:30) the committee will
hold an unusual overtime session
In an effort to speed the decision
on legislation designed to check In
flation. Representatives of Uie

such a step necessary.
Farm Tax
Bill Eyed
WASHINGTON, Jan. 33 WV-Two
house ways and means committee
members today expressed doubt
congress would act this year on
legislation to permit farmers to de.
duct for Income tax purposes cer
tain expenses in development of
their land but Senator Wherry (R.-
Neb.) said he would try to add such
a provision to any bill on income
taxes which la considered. j
Reps. Curtis (R-Neb.) and Thomas
E. Martin (R.-Iowa), Uie two house
committee members, told a reporter
that any tax revision favorable to
farmers would have to be part cf
a general revamping of the tax
structure.
Curtis has introduced a measure
which would class a deductible,
current-year expense such farm
improvement work as leveling of
land, clearing of brush and stumps,
fertilizing and development of ditch
systems. Wherry Introduced similar
legislaUon yesterday.
Under present law, these are

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.
"If Uie policy is pursued of trying
to dominate Europe by any one
power, by whatever means, direct
or indirect," Bevin said, "we are
driven to Uie conclusion that it will
Inevitably lead again 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."
