Let's est: a few questions about
clothes this morning.
For instance
Who started the old hoswash
about a man having to wear a
coat aud tie in order to eat in any
of the so-called "better" places?
That Is not only ridiculous and
uncomfortable under certain con
ditions, it's downright unconstitu
tional and Illegal.
It's like saying that a woman
couldn't eat without wearing a
boned corset and a fur stole.
I strongly suspect the makers of
clothing of fostering this idea.
Maybe a kickback to the restaur
ant owners.
In summer the habit becomes a
menace to public health. People
keep keeling over from the heat
like tenpins until you find them
stacked like cordwood in the alleys,
the only way of telling them from
plague victims being an occasional
explosive groan mingled with a
comment about what it. the body,
would like to do about proprieters
who insist on this archaic and out
moded law. Poses a health prob
lem. And there can certainly be no
false Ideas of modesty about It.
A woman is allowed to eat any
where while wearing not over four
ounces of cool and comfortable
clothes. But a man Is stared at
with suspicion even in a light coat.
I have seen summer resorts
where the mercury often slid into
the upoer. registers well before
noon where a hair shirt and a
tweed coat were practically re
garded as a necessity if you wished
to eat in public.
Or another question;
In this age of scientific marvels
when are we going to develop a
suit that will fit the thermostatic
requirements of the average office
worker?
With all the new materials in
cluding the . . . Ions (nylon, orlon,
etc.) you'd think that a fabric
could be produced which would be
warm enough to get you a few
blocks around town outside and yet
not curl your skin into blackened
and fried remnants the moment
you sat down at your desk. We
have suits that need no cleaning,
merely a good hosing off once in
a while. We have wrinkle resistant
cloth. We have fireproof suits and
a vest that automatically- scales
off gravy drippings and spilled
martinis.
But we still don't-have a suit
that Is comfortable under varying
climactic conditions.
And how about pants? .
When is the American male go
ing to realize that short pants are
a wonderful invention and .are for
the comfort of the entire race, not
merely small boys, Bavarians and
British golfers? .
So what you got legs like a bird?
Who cares.
Are you more Interested In your
looks or your comfort?
And last, but far from least,
when are the hat manufacturers
gonna ease up on the strangle hold
they have on the fashion world and
Ihe editors who put out the best-Iressed-man
sheets?
Ever since the war, particularly,
are have been Informed that no
man who wants to hold his head
lp among the ranks of Men of Dis
:inction can do so while barehead
id. Without a hat you are socially
i cut lower than Jack the Ripper.
Ifou need, according to these im
crialistic so and so's, a hat for
own wear, for formal wear, for
sasual wear, for wear in the coun
ty and still another for lawn wed
lings. In addition you need a cap
or golfing apd driving, a billed
:ap for fishing and boating, a beret
or wear while staring moodily out
iver the clamorous sea and striv
ng to keep a pipe clenched In
'our chattering teeth, a ten gallon
r "Western type" hat for sopping
ip manhattans at the desert dude
inven. Not to mention a chapeau
or church wear, shooting pool,
'isiting acquariums and riding In
reight elevators.

JACKSON. Miss. (.fl Gen.
Douglas MacArthur, delnyed bv
bad weather in the mid-south, ar
rived by plane at 1:12 p.m. tCSTi
Saturday to address a joint session
of the Mississippi Legislature.
The MacArthur plane was forced
to skirt the worst of a belt of
turbulent weather that lashed Ten
nessee. Northern Mississippi and
Arkansas with tornadoes.
The delay forced a last-minute
change in schedule and made the
general go directly from his wel
coming parade to the stale capitol
building for his address.

OPS office said Friday that coun
try potato shippers can Qualify as
a "shipping point distributor" if 50
per cent or more of their sales in
dollar value are to buyers at whole
sale receiving points who do not
buy through brokers.
Harry L. Yost. OPS district di

allows those qualifying to take the
same 10 cents markup as a carlot
distributor. Growers who sell not
more than 400 pounds of-potatoes

Jap Monopoly
Laws Eyei:
TOKO I .Nihon Keizai. Ja
pan's leading financial newspaper,
Monday said the government Is
planning to tone down occupation
sponsored laws that broke ur the
prewar Zaibatsu trading monopol
ies.
Postwar laws cut ud the huge
family monopolies into hundreds
of small businesses. But, the news
paper says, the small businesses
are not able to compete with for
eign companies.
Nihon Keizai said the govern
ment plans to modify the anti
monopoly and anti-trust laws to
allow re-concentration of Japanese
businesses, particularly import and
export concerns.
The paper quoted government
sources as saying the deflationary
policy which has ruled Japan's
economy the past three years .no
longer fits this country, about to
step once more into the family of
free nations.
The policy was mapped by Jo- i
seph M. Dodge, Detroit banner,
acting as special economic adviser
to the Supreme Allied Commander.
The Dodge formula stressed econ
omic stabilization over reconstruc
tion or expansion and discouraged
government loans to business.

i NEW YORK U' James Lem
i lev is a railroad engineer who has
I driven trains two million miles
iin nearly 40 years and never hit
; a motorist.
! "I've Just been lucky," he said.
His record is unusual. Almost
equally unusual is the fact that in
traveling a distance equal lo 80
trips around the world none of
his trains have ever been hii by a
motorist. For in about one third of
the nation's grade crossing acci
dents it is the motor car that
crashes into the train.
"I sure would like to keep my
record," said Lemley, a gentleman
of 69 who retires next September.
"But these accidents arc up to
the motorists. How can you make
ihem comply with the red warn
ing lishls? A train can't get off
the track."
The railroads for some years
have waged an intensive safety
campaign to reduce grade cross-
ill disasters, uhirh orrmint fni-
! nhnlit five net rcrnl nf all num
fatalities.
To see the problem from an en
gineer's standpoint I rode a cab
the other day with Lemley. He
pilots the Baltimore and Ohio's
crack passenger train. "The Roy
al Blue," from Washington, D.C.,
to Jersey City, N.J.
The nine-car train is pulled by
4,000-norsepower diesei jocomo-
live and reaches a speed of 70
to 80 miles an hour in the 223
mile-trip.
It turned out that the chief prob
lems of Lemley and his fireman
were to see that the track was
clear and to warn motorists.
"There are about 200 grade
crossings along the way," Lemley
said. Exactly 1600 feet before
each crossing stood a concrete
whistle post. At each post Lemley
tugged four times on the whistle
ccrd two lones. a short, and an
other long. Aral the whistle it is
really a horn moaned with a
sound audible for miles.
"The train bell rings before each
crossing, too." explained thfe engi
neer. "But the sound travels for
ward and you can't hear it here

for the store, six blocks away.
Before they arrived they spotted
a car speeding east on a west

forced the car to the curb.
They reported the driver. Lewi

stepped out of the car and said:
"Okay, I'm the one you want."
He handed over the S123 and a

With us in the cab rode Lemley's

the red warning lights, I asked

"We'd hit him," said Stevens.
"We could slow down but we
couldn't stop In time.
"I've hit 'em mvself. It rives

tated "I've had five children my
self. All I rrmembrr thinking of
when I saw there was going to be
an accident was" he hesitated
again "I just hoped there wouldn't
be any kids in the car."
There was a long silence among
the three trainmen as we roared
on down the rails. Trainmen hale
to talk, about grade crossing ac
cidents, because they don't feci
there is much they themselves can
do to halt them.
When I climbed down from the
cab later Lemley said, almost
apologetically:
"You know, I've been lucky just
lucky, that's all."
! A trainman then mentioned a
case in which a motorist at a
crossing crashed into the caboose
l at the end of a 100-car freight
j train.
"We still can't figure that driver
lout." he said, scratching his head.

Korea Boss
Sees World
Fate Near
By WILLIAM BARNARD
TOKO Ifl Gen Matthew R.
IRidgway says tho stakes In the
: Korean armistice talks are world
I peace.
The Allied supreme commander
'said In an Interview he prays con
Istnntly that Americans will be ex
tremely patient while United Nn
i lions command negotiators with
stand Coiilinunist deceit and stall
;ing. I Ritlgway conceded that the pro
lonced truce talk s now hi llielr
ninth month tried one's patience.
.but added:
I "Patience Is a necessity. Tie
I slakes, in this rase are not onlv
itlie lives of Allied prisoners In
! Communist hands, but world peace
i itself. I think our people realize
j the situation in which we find our
I selves today. A situation so po
tentially grave calls for the most
soul-searching objective analysis of
'what vou Intend to do-and what
your objectives arc.
i "Far reaching, almost 'lncalcu
, able consequences could flow from
acts which some of our people ad
vocate In the current situation. But
'such suggestions do not bespeak
lany sort of objective analysis."
I The 57-year-old commander de
scribed as "most disturbing" Ru.v
'sla's charges that the Allies arc
waging germ warfare in North
Korea charaes denied repeatedly
,by high U. S. officials.- ,
"It is completely m accord with
the deliberate and repeated em
'ployment ol falsehoods of- Soviet
j leaders," Rldgway said. "It Is all
a part of the big lie. The result
Is more hatred and more anlmosl
ity and less chance of getting the
world situation straightened out."
He added that the Communist
charges show "they will sto at
nothing to stir un things which
could lead to bitterness and war."

MIDWAY, Ala. lift You'll look

Midway folks find It satisfactory,
though. Very lew of thein ever

The Jail, which resembles an ani
mal cage more than It does a lock
up, is a discarded convict wagon.
Since anv passerby can see who's
in It, the Inmates .usually are
subject to quite a bit of ridlculo
from persons on the outside.
No claims have been made
about the Jail being even re
motely escape-proof. Not so long
ago. eight persons got thrown In It
to sit something of a tenancy re
cord. Seven promptly ripped out
the flood and escaped. The eighth
was too fat. He fiot stuck and
couldn't get out.

MUNSAN. Korea Mi Allied and
Communist truce negotiator hud.
died for three hours Monday dls
cusslnu possible secret talks on
how to exchange prisoners of war.
A U.N. spokesman sulci "We al
most came to agreement."
"We decided to talk about II
for only JO minutes tomorrow,"
He reported most of Monday's
session was spent lr billing "limi
tations that might be placed on
each side during an executive ses
sion,''
The U.N. proposed secret nego
tiations Sunday in a move to speed
agreement on a Korean armistice.
As a preliminary slep the Allies
ordered an Immediate partial news
blackout on the prisoner talks.
An official Allied spokesman said
U.N negotiators tell preliminary
discussions concerning ofl-the-rec-ord
sessions should "be considered
lor Ihe time being at least In
quasl-confldentlal status. "
He declined to tell newsmen
what the U.N. proposed.
The prisoners exchange talks
were postponed for three hours
Miwtl.iv at the request of the U.N.
command. There was no explana
tion. Both sides have Indicated unof
ficially that otf-tlic-record negotia
tions might lead to a compromise
agreement on the thorny Issue ol
whether prisoners should be given
the right to reject repatriation.
This is the only Issue blocking
agreement on prisoner exchange.
The U.N. command said last
week negotiators would be able lo
speak freely In an executive ses
sion since their remarks would not
be alrrd In the press.
Otf-lhe-record negotiations would
mean a virtual newi blackout on
the prisoner talks. Onlv the llnal
agreement or luck of one
would be announced.

and pictured the administration
