More Fur Is Used For Fall Clothing By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEWYORK (UPI(The fur is flying throughout the fall clothing collecitons. There is so much fur used for trim and linings, and so many all fur coats, jackets, stoles and boleros that the industry expects a 20 to 25 per cent increase in sales from last year. J. George Greenberg, secretary of the Fur Information and Fashion Council, told visiting fashion reporters this week that retail sales for fall and winter should reach 515 million dollars. Os the

total, 90 million dollars will go foi fur trimming for sweaters, dresses, suits and coats. Greenberg said 1959 sales might be the highest since the 19405. The council, a promotion group representing all facets of the industry, w3s one of the participats in the week-long series of fashion shows sponsored by the New York Dress Institute’ Couture Group. Greenberg said mink leads all other furs for trimming. Other favorites include beaver, Persian lamb, silver and red fox, opossum, fitch, fisher, leopard, lynx and spotted cat (looks like leopard, but is of Atgenyine origin). Even that rat the hamster goes high style. The council’s fashion show, featuring young designers, used 25 furs in 12 coat styles, all to retail from $245 to $750. There were full
length coats with an 80 - inch sweep to the hemlines; coats with cuss in white fox, which can be . removed to form another fur piece—the “shrug” or shoulder > covering; fitted coats with soft dressmaker touches; and great coats reminiscent of those wrap- . arounds of the 19305. Scaasi, member of the couture group who showed his daytime and evening clothes Friday, used fur in an unusual evening cos- , tume — chaps; These of. silk . tafeta were cut like a cowboy’s, with a band of gray fox running J down each side. > Some of the sleeves in Scaasi’s • modern variations of the puffy modem variations of the pufy, . leg o’mutton.

Contest Unlikely In California Primary By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Internationa! WASHINGTON <UT?I) — The somewhat belligerent Word from West Coast is that any and *&U out-state Democrats had better d->n well stay out of next year’s California Democratic presidential primary. The word comes from the little group of able men who are counseling Democratic Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown on political strategy. Brown is at least a favoriteson candidate for the 1960 Democratic presidential nomination. The word on California’s presidential primary has been conveyed clearly to Sen. John F. Kennedy (Mass.), to Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (Minn.) and to Sen. Stuart Symington (Mo.). It is believed in California that all three got the word and will abide by it. Humphrey is on firm public record that he will not invade Brown’s preserves. There is no indication that Symington has considered contesting California. Kennedy is not saying. Status Is Indefinite There is even less likelihood of a contest in the Republican presidential primary. So. it looks like Brown and Vice President Richard M. Nixon will win their home 'state delegations without contest next year. Nixon is, of course, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination although he has not formally announced himself. Brown’s status is less definite. He was reluctant to commit himself to a mere favorite - son candidacy after taking office as governor. In February of this year, however. Brown so defined his political status. Your correspondent was in California when the announcement was made. During a brief discussion of it with the ‘ governor, your correspondent was convinced that Brown was a favorite-son candidate for one purpose only. That purpose was to control the California delegation to the 19G0 Democratic national convention and to exercise such influence there as such control woudl assure. Brown neither looked, ated nor talked last February like a man who was aiming at the White House. The additional word from California today is of some slight change; enough, perhaps, to suggest that Brown can conceive of events which might obtain his nomination for president. Brown Is a Catholic There will be. for example, some not too obvious eforts to obtain delegate support for Brown in other western states. The governor will not do any campaigning outside his state but he will be available for speeches at national gatherings. If good friends decide to enter the governor's name in the Oregon presidential primary, well, why not? There is definite emphasis on this: Brown does not want second place on the 1960 Democratic ticket. It might be put this way: Brown does not want second place considerably more than he doesn't want first place. Brown’s realistic political associates, however, concede that if Kennedy is not nominated for president, the Democrats probably would want a Catholic in second place. Brown is a Catholic. Brown would be a logical* and good choice for No. 2 in such circumstances. Some of his friends believe Brown's party loyalty would persuade him to acept that nofnination.

Bills Pending On Bombing, Arson By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) There seems to be a chance, and a pretty good one, that the strong arm of the FBI will be raised by Congress against goon squads who resort to bombing and arson in labor and racial disputes. This does not mean that local law enforcement agencies will be relieved of their responsibilities. Far from it. Neither does it mean that, in each instance of arson or the bombing of premises, the Federal Bureau of Investigation would be compelled to gallop in to investigate the crime. What it does mean, is this: That Congress has pending several bills covering the subject, among which are some good ones which would approach the problem simply by amending what is known as the Fugitive Felon Act. Such amendment, for example, is the purpose of Title 2 of the civil rights bill pending now before the House Judiciary Committee. The amendment would establish as a federal crime, punishable in federal courts, any flight acfoss a state line to avoid prosecution for destruction of educational or religious • structures by arson or explosives. Fleeing witnesses also would be covered. Gives Permissive Authority The language in this proposed amendment is significant in two respects. First, it limits the area covered to any building, structure, facility or vehicle used primarily for religious or public or private educational purposes. Further action would be needed to cover labor violence. Second, the amendment says that violations may be prosecuted in a federal court. It does not say that it is mandatory for the FBI to investigate. Whether the FBI did or did not investigate would be a matter for determination by the attorney general or by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. This permissive rather than mandatory authority to investigate suits the FBI fine. The record will show that, in practice, the FBI is not slow to undertake within the limits of its permissive jurisdiction what are called preliminary investigations.

Kassem rose to power as premier then. These are undertaken to determine whether, in fact, the circumstances of the given crime are such that the FBI has jurisdiction to act. The last thing the FBI would want would be any requirement that it rftove in on and supplant local enforcement agencies. FBI Always Ready If preliminary investigation fails to establish FBI jurisdiction, the routine is to withdraw but only after handing all evidence and other pertinent information to local authorities. The FBI, although it may withdraw for lack of jurisdiction, remains ready and eager to handle out-of-state leads for local authorities. FBI laboratory afacilities always are availble to the local officers. That is me way the FBI hopes it will be with respect to the new field of inquiry brought on by racial and labor dificulties. Arson and bombing in labor disputes also would be reached by amendment of the Fugitive Felons Act. United Press International was informed that such amendment is likely at this session of Congtess although prob-

Decline in Marriages NEW YORK (UPD—The number of marriages in the United States last year declined by about 4 per cent to 1,456,000 according to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. This represented a rate of 8.4 per 1,000 population, the lowest since 1932. The biggest statewide drop, 45 per cent, was recorded in Indiana. ..j Trucking On Up DETROIT (UPl)—Trucks haul 1.600,000,000 tons of freight a year —more than any other type of carrier, according to the 1950 edition of Motor Truck Facts.
