Trade Agreements Given Support

Attacks upon the United States’ Reciprocal Trade Agreements program are being opposed by the Indiana League of Women Voters, according to Mrs. Leonard Smith, chairman of the organization’s foreign policy department. Mrs. Smith gives as the most important rea-

“It is of great advantage to the consumer and it ilproves our relations with other nations at a time when international relations are strained and economic nationalism appears to be on the increase.” “The League of Women Voters believes that the scientific adjustment of tariffs under the Reciprocal Trade Program, which minimizes the log rolling in behalf of special protection, makes possible the elimination of unnecessary tariff protection for the benefit of the consuming public without real harm to efficient domestic production.” Final reason for the support of the Reciprocal Trade Agreement, she stated, is that “it provides a scientific method for the adjustment of tariff schedules. Under the present trade program, Congress has defined the broad basis of our foreign trade policy and has rightly left to experts the negotiations of trade agreements designed to promote and

Girl Pupils Eager to Display Colorful Skating Costumes at Mrs. Gates’ Dancing Party

.By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON

Twenty young feminine members of Mrs. William Byram Gates’ Saturday morning dancing class are awaiting with great eagerness the evening of April 8 when they actually may wear their lime green duvetyn skating costumes. Last week they stood patiently for measurements and interminable fittings of the dresses to be worn in the single ballet number at Mrs. Gates’ ninth annual spring party at the Murat Temple ballroom. Reminiscent of the gaslit era (circa 1900) are the fitted basque waists, leg-o’-mutton sleeves and full skirts with enormous crinoline bustles (made to bulge with paper stuffing). The slashed lower edges of the basques are trimmed with bands of brown caracul which matches the dainty muffs and stoles. Jaunty green caps adorned with flowers complete the costumes to be worn by the Misses Carol Arnholter, Rosann Borinstein, Caroline Crom, Suzanne Frenzel, Mary Harrell, Martha Heath, Jewel Jean Lain, Frances Lurvey, Sally MeBride, Rosalie McKee, Ann Parry, Sally Page, Hulda Pfaff, Helen Rogers, Maryanne Scheidenhelm, Ann Spalding, Marilyn Wiegand, Kay Stevenson, Ellen and Virginia Hill. Nancy Briggs as a boy skater will appear in toast-colored duvetyn slacks topped with a brown Eton jacket with Buster Brown collar and scarlet bow tie. Emily Flickinger will be the comic “awkward” skater.
