WAR CONTRACTS INQUIRY COULD GET OUT OF HAND WASHINGTON. - The ' polltl-clans polltl-clans are chuckling at the political politi-cal implication behind the May scandal case. The inside story Is that Mr. May, chairman of the house military at-fairs at-fairs committee, walked into the difficulties with the Mead investl-gating investl-gating committee, and that the in-vestigation in-vestigation was not Inspired other-wise. other-wise. As May is a conservative Democrat, and Senator Mead of New York has aspirations for the governorship, certain political au-thorities au-thorities had circulated the report that the case against May was worked up for purposes of widening widen-ing the split within Democratic ranks by the liberal side for the purposes of punishing a conservative conserva-tive Southerner. If it did not orlgi-nate orlgi-nate in such purposes, it certainly had that political effect However logical this report may sound to some, the Inside story is that the Mead committee membership member-ship was making a routine check Into the complicated financial setup set-up In the Garsson companies. Some suspicions about the May transaction trans-action were uncovered but not made public. Then May brought Dr. Henry Garsson to see Mead to complain com-plain about the companies being "persecuted" by a meddling investigation, inves-tigation, which, they contended, was holding up reconversion to peacetime activities. MEAD HAD TO ACT. The committeemen claim other efforts were made to get them to desist, but they will not identify these efforts beyond the point of saying these came from within the Democratic party. Despite the imminence of the coming congressional election, the Republicans co-operated with the Democratic members in all ways. The Republican Sen. Homer Ferguson Fer-guson of Michigan (who does not run again until, 1949) has been termed the "bird dog" of the committee. com-mittee. Ferguson and his Republican Repub-lican colleagues were in a position to force Mead to act If he tried to cover up. Perhaps they may have been gleeful at the prospect of roasting a Democrat on the eve of departure for home and election. Another inner political sidelight is that the Garssons hired as their counsel for the inquiry Wayne Johnson, a well-known New York City Democrat. The evidence carried odors reaching to high heaven, but did not prove conclusively that May ever received any" money directly, direct-ly, aUhough it produced testimony indicating money was sent. The committeemen have been authorized author-ized to look over the income tax returns of May to supply the missing miss-ing links, and while these cannot be used as evidence or made public pub-lic In any way, the committee may get some leads to the links. The law permits President Truman to authorize such looks at the returns. All in all, the newsmen who sat at the press table throughout the inquiry thought the whole case could be put down as a scandal so plainly marked with evidence that no one could cover it on any side, Democratic, Republican, PAC, or any other. REP. COFFEE INVOLVED. But lo and behold, the case produced pro-duced a political tail larger than the dog. The Coffee case, follow ing immediately thereafter, con cerned a .left-leaning Democrat, Rep. John M. Coffee, who received $2,500 from a war contractor for services. He votes mostly on the leftish side. Thus the scandals came out even in Democratic ranks between the two conflicting factions, and the Renublicans eained the most ground from the entire transaction. At least no one showed they claimed to have or were selling any influence. It was Senator Brewster, Republic can of Maine, who told the com mittee of the Coffee matter, which first was mentioned in a mayoralty campaign in Tacoma, Wash., by Republicans I think the sum total of the scandal matter is this: If any one started turning over every war contract, at this particular time of world crisis and difficult peace, even to gain ground In an election, the ultimate outcome would be difficult to foretell At any rate, the Mead committee went to work on some presumably minor cases on the Pacific coast CAN'T GUARANTEE FREEDOMS The Paris gathering of 21 nations to consider the Big Four peace deal started off under unique cir cumstances.

Nothing, that I can think of right at the moment because these youngsters usually have such fine, healthy bodies, basically good figures, fig-ures, clear skin and bright eyes. They look so perfect in almost anything any-thing you turn out that it's a pleasure to sew for them. I Youngsters go through their cloth ing so rapidly, or outgrow It so quickly, that home sewing for them is a necessity. Not only can yard goods be made up Into attractive at-tractive dresses, but many other things can be remodeled to fit quick as a wink. Styles in young girls dresses vary little from year to year, so if you have two or three good basic patterns, pat-terns, these can be used over and over again. You'll discover that your little girl is very style-conscious, not of grown-up styles so much, but In her own age and social group. She wants to wear dresses like her friends, the same type, if not the lame fabric Don't steer too far off that course it you want to keep her happy. For school dresses and outfits, your best choices of material are velveteen, light-weight woolens and plaids. For warm fall days, cotton will still be the choice. Styling Important In Youngster's Garment Though basic styles do not change much from year to year in this age group, little girls have fads and fancies which you'll do well to follow. If they should like wide rib bon trimming or bows, or a certain kind of rle rac, then let them have their own way to keep peace In the family. Princess styles are very becom ing on the younger figure. If you plan to have a button front on them, the little girl will be much more able to dress herself, and will require little help from you during IFAen you tew for youngsters. . . . the breakfast rush hour. Sew buttons but-tons on securely, but do not fasten them too tight Another tip to help your youngster young-ster dress herself Independent of your efforts is to have necklines neck-lines open down the front rather than the back, whenever possible. This makes it easy for her to slip Into the garment, and she won't have to wander about the house oalf buttoned until you can get around to her. One of the cardinal "don'ts" in dressing children is not to have the iresses too long, lust because you don't want to take them down every year. Long dresses can give a youngster an inferiority complex if her other friends are wearing them Bhort. Another rule is to have them fit nicely enough to allow for movement, move-ment, neither too loose nor too tight. Don't select fabrics that the youngster has to be. careful of always. al-ways. This will make her too worried wor-ried about spoiling the dress. Garment Choice Makes Wearing Easy Just what exactly should be Included In-cluded in the young girl's wardrobe ward-robe to give the greatest amount of wear? The answers to that question ques-tion are easy.

The fabrlo recommended recom-mended for It Is a rayon and aralao with a wool finish. rials for both jumpers and blouses. Remember that these will have to be washed constantly, and they should be easy to iron. Another must for the younger wardrobe is a skirt, or preferably several skirts to be worn with blouses and sweaters and even contrasting jackets when the weather becomes cool. Plaids are very popular with the younger set and these are easy to run off on the sewing machine. If you are considering a suit for the young girl, make It very sporty for everyday wear. By that I mean have a loose jacket with a pleated skirt. Work in soft woolens or all wool or part wool plaids. Both the jacket and skirt in such a suit may be worn separately with other things, of course. Another good idea for a suit is the ever popular bolero style. Thls can be worked out attractively for the younger girl if you trim the hem of the skirt and the edges of the jacket in bright wool binding of a contrasting color, or even a decorative braided wool. Whenever you sew with woolens, remember these three pointers: Cut larger than average seams so that the material will not ravel If the woolen does not tend to run and ravel, pinking shears may be used. Secondly, always press out the seams after they are sewed, and have them lie flat. The third has to do with finishing finish-ing the seam. Most woolen seams should be overcast and finished with a binding tape so there is no opportunity oppor-tunity for raveling and loose yarns. ICnow-How on Fabrics A number of chemical processes proc-esses are now used on fabrics which give certain types of finishes. fin-ishes. It is essential to know them because care of the garment gar-ment differs with its finish. A resin process makes certain fabrics cottons and rayons crease-resistant, but not crease-proof. crease-proof. This is helpful in making skirts and dresses and suits. Some fabrics contain permanent perma-nent stiffening and as such will require no starching. Look for washing directions on this type to come with the material. Some stiffening will last only through a few washings, but others will last the life of the garment There are some stain-proof fabrics which resist certain stains and dirt When you Niy the material, ask which has a wax finish and which a chemical finish as this Information will be important when you wash the garment Forecast What's new in color for the school girl? First of all there are the three basic types to choose from black, brown and gray. For those who want something a little more vivid, there's bright red and brilliant blue. You'll see these colors appearing constantly in fall plaids. For dressy dresses, select velveteen velve-teen often combined with plaid taffeta or velveteen with wool - |
