Fresh Looking Stars Herald Exit Of ‘Lay-1t-On-Thick’ Makeup
By ALICIA HART Times. Special Writer
SHE does not. wear heavy layers of eye mekeip on the street or
even on the screen.
She uses lipstick to color her lips—not to make
her mouth huge and thick-lipped. Her hair-do is simple, and her face has a glowing, freshly-scrubbed look. She is the new type qf topnotch Hollywood star—a girl who is naturally glamorous, not artificially so. =

Not a wooden . puppet—just a little girl who got over-enthusi--astic about her makeup. The general effect is not beautiful—but dumb.
“I wouldn't let the makeup clepartment touch a hair in Ingrid Bergman's eyelas hes,” says Mr. Selznick. - “I didn’t let them paint on a new mouth over Joan Fontaine's own. And anyche who saw “Gone With the Wind” won't argue that Vivien Leigh wore more makeup than was absolutely necessary. #08 8B \- ~ “MAKEUP has been carried to a ridiculous point,” the famous producer goes on, “It has just about lost entirely its original purpose— that of artifice. Artifice achieves its purpose only if it is artful—not artificial. “Women by the millions put on makeup without any regard as to
whether it honestly makes them|
more attractive. Why, you can see their lips three blocks away!” Mr. Selznick goes on to say that he thinks Hollywood is responsible —which, somehow, seems to take the sting out of his criticisms. “We standardized beauty,” he ex-

“I predict a great change in ‘the makeup of Americah women—due to the new trend toward naturalness on the screen,” he continues. “We have found that audiences are enthusiastic about the fresh, makeupless look of Ingrid Bergman and some of the other recently discovered, natural girls. I think women will soon realize that their faces need a good scrubbing. “They won’t give up makeup, of course—and they shouldn‘t, but I think more women will strive for natural effects.”
She’s a nice girl, even if she does not’ look ‘it. She gets that “Hard-Boiled Hannah look from exaggerated eye-shadow and mas-cara-gooed lashes and an ugly, heavy-handed use of lipstick.

League Urges ?
Passage of
Ramspeck Bill
Times Special WASHINGTON, May 29. — Miss Marguerite M. ‘Wells, : president of the National League of Women Voters, today issued a call to league members to urge passage of the Ramspeck Bill by Congress
as a means of strengthening the civil service system. “The new defense program means the ‘tremendous recruiting of thousands of more employees for the government,” Miss Wells said. “This does not constitute an alibi for the breakdown of the civil service. In the last year, the "Civil Service Commission demonstrated its ability to do a fast and satsifactory job of getting the new personnel needed. Its procedures and equipment have been much improved since that time and I see no reason why it should not do a still better job now. “Members of the League et Women Voters are urging the Congress to keep away from patronage and
to maintain high standards in the
selection of personnel for the, very safety of the United States. Nothing breaks down faster under emergency than an ill-equipped human machine and that is what Government becomes unless its personnel selection is guarded with constant care. “All Federal employees shoulti be within the civil service system. Passage of the Ramspeck Bill by this
| Congress will go far to accomplish
this. The Senate Civil Service Committee should report it to the Senate before it is so late. that it will be lost in the final rush before adjournment. Now that the defense issue has been raised, we consider it even more important to place all Federal employees, both old and new, under civil service.”

PRICE OF PEACE |
T0 BE COSTLY,
“WAR ACE SAYS
Rickenbacker Warns _ of Perils to Freedom and Need of Defense.
The price of peace in this world will be far more costly than the price of war, Capt. Eddie V. Rickenbacker, America’s World War “Ace
of Aces” told Indianapolis Rotarians yesterday. »
Speaking to the Club members on “Aviation in Peace and War,” Capt. Rickenbacker said “never in the history of this nation have we been confronted ‘with a problem so serious as that in the making now. “You are enjoying liberties that you never again will enjoy and you and your children are enjoying a standard of living you never again will see. “This is a blunt statement but it is true. Forces are at work in the Old World and even among us that will come to the surface here in the next six months, a year or mage in two years,
Cites Immediate Problem
“We have a legal and moral obligation to protect the freedom for which our forefathers fought to give us. But the price of peace in this world today will be more costly than the price of war. “The immediate problem facing us now is one of national ‘defense. It is a problem as we Americans know a problem—it is not insur‘It will take the best of our brains and what we have developed if we are to force through a real defense program. And we can make ourselves impregnable.” “We have the industry, the resources and we know how to build the best airplanes in the world. I concur with the President’s desire for 50,000 airplanes. I regret that we have lost so many billions for national defense and have nothing to show for it: I regret that we have wasted so many precious ‘years but maybe that's the way with a Democracy. The problem of building 50,000 airplanes is simple compared to getting the 150,000 men which would be needed to fly them and the 750;000 mechanical specialists to service them. Urges Mail Training “We haven’t got the pilots or mechanics—we’ll have to educate them.” Capt. Rickenbacker reiterated previous statements that he advocated that pilots be trained by flying the mail in obsolete bombers. “There are many who believe that we should go to the aid of the Allies,” he said. “But if we wanted to—we couldn’t go to their aid—we haven't anything to offer them. “To be of any use to them, it would take us at least one year to prepare to do so.” ‘Capt. Rickenbacker urged that we “keep ‘out of the war,” declaring that if the United States becomes involved—revolution is suré to follow. Wars always are the stamping
grounds of revolutions, he said.
