WASHINGTON, May 25 (U. PJ). —After July 1 and until the war is over, no double-breasted women's suits and jackets will be made, according to the war production board's second clothing order which, along with other conservation measures, imposes rigid contrels on the Use of trimming on dresses. The order, affecting fall and winter clothing beginning May 16 and summer wear beginning July 1, was interpreted as &n attempt to stall rationing of clothes. WPB first hinted, then denied that clothes would require coupons. WPB has been conferring with | textile and clothing producers. WPB |
Chairman Donald M. Nelson de-!;
clared that he would not invoke rationing if sound conservation pro- | grams were evolved. The amended | order was announced last night. | The new program snipped off “ex- | travagant” and “excessive” frills, | limited the trimming to aout onehalt yard or 3Y-inch material ior non-transparent fabrics and a yard | for transparent material. Banned were: Double-breasted guits and jackets (not suit dresses), culottes, reversible skirts, lined skirts, quilted skirts and skating ekirts, dresses with bi-swing backs,

“It is our honest conviction that . . women and girls will have attractive, sensible wartime fashions which will differ in no major detail from the fashions they have become accustomed to in peacetime.” “America at war can still enjoy attractive and well-designed women's clothing without subjecting itself to the utter waste of valu- . which the uncon- | trolled use of trimming on dresses represents.”

PRIEST TELLS OF VENGEANCE
Brutality Stopped Only at Cannibalism; Towns Laid Waste.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.,, May 25 (U. P). —The Japanese who wreaked venge-
ance on Chinese and missionaries for aiding Brig. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle’s American fliers after the Tokyo raid stopped only at cannibalism, the Rev. George Yager, American missionary who was there, said toaay. Father Yager, serving the congregation of missions at Yu Kianz, Kiangsi, near which some of the Doolittle fiers landed after their historic bombing, told of the mur-| der, terture and mayhem which tol-| lowed the Japs’ discovery that Catholic missionaries and Chinese residents of Kiangsi had sheltered the stranded fliers and helped them escape, Priests, Nuns Flee
As the Japanese descended upon the area, Father Yager said, Bishop | Charles Quinn of Los Angeles, eight American priests and five nuns re-| treated into the hills some 20 miles away with 300 Chinese. They left behind Father Humbert Verdini, italian Vincentian priest, who had volunteered to remain in an effort to protect the old, the very young and the sick. | “With the withdrawal of the Japanese,” Father Yager said, “the bishop and the priests moved back | into their former missions, and | found nothing but destruction and | desolation confronting them. Towns | were completely laid waste. The whole countryside reeked of death | in every form. Poor country people | who had stayed on hoping to be allowed to continue to work their fields, had been savagely tortured and put to death. “From some of the villagers who had managed to escape death we, heard stories far too brutal and | savage to relate. Just one charge was not heard—cannibalism. But outside of that, take your choice and you can’t miss the savage ge ture of the Japanese army.” Bishop Quinn found his Yunkiang home burned. He searched for Father Verdini and discovered only his sun helmet and a muddied jacket beside a pond in the rear of the compound, which was lined with human bones. Father Verdini never has been found.
80 Children Killed
“We know the 60 or so children and old people in the residence with him were killed by the Japs,” Father Vager said. “The bestiality of the action cannot be imagined by civilized peoples.” { A 70-year-old French priest was beaten and stabbed and later died. A Chinese priest was beheaded. Property loss in churches and homes lof the American missionaries {reached “well over $1,000,000,” | Father Yager estimated. | The Japs particularly were eager | to find Father Dunker, Dutch priest] ‘who had brought the wounded Lt. | | (now Capt.) Harold F. Watson and | his crew 40 miles across mountain | country to be treated by a Dr. Homberger, German-Jewish doctor | working in a hospital operated by | the Irish Columban fathers.
Escape in Bus
“The doctor, who stayed on with | | his German passport, was subjected |to rough treatment as a result of |his treatment of Lt. Watson.”| | Father Yager said. “The hospital | |in which the doctor practiced under | | the care of the Irish missionaries {was burned along with the town.” | Doolittle and his crew, who landed near Shang-Yu, were anx- |
jous to proceed immediately to
the injured Watson and his crew stayed a few days with Father Dunker. Some of the fliers also! were assisted by Father William Glynn of Chicago. “The fliers, with Doolittle in com- | mand, arrived at Ying-Tan about | 7:30 a. m.,” Father Yager said. | “They spent about an hour eating, breakfast, then got on busses for their next lap toward Chungking. About 40 minutes later three Jap| planes came out of Nanchang and | flew down the road after the busses. | “Fortunately, they were too late, | but they did manage to bomb a] mail truck and kill three Chinese. |

Las Vegas Has Cattle, No Steak
LAS VEGAS, N. M,, May 25 (U. P.).—Thousands of beef steaks on-the-hoof grazed in nearby pastures today, but Las Vegas, in the heart of the cattle country, had no meat. Chairman Charles R.

SOK 07 ON RUML PLAN
Hint FDR Will Frown on More Than 50 Per Cent.
Forgiveness.
WASHINGTON, May 25 (U. P). —House Democrats on the senatehouse pay-as-you-go tax conference committee were reported today to be maintaining that not more than 50 per cent of the 1942 tax should be forgiven for the higher income taxpayers. They were said to fear that President Roosevelt would not approve a bill granting more 1orgiveness. Their position, it was said, was based on President Roosevelt's let ter of last week protesting the sen ate Ruml plan bill for total forgive« ness of a year's taxes. The president argued against forgiving 1942 taxes for those who would be able to pay a substantial part of one year’s taxes and still get themselves on a current basis. Chairman Robert L. Doughton (D. N. C.) of the house ways and means committee was said yesterday to have blocked a compromise offered by the senate conferees which. would have canceled the 1042 tax of individuals owing up to $50 and forgiving 756 per cer of the 1942 tax for all owing more than that, collecting .the remainder over a two-year period, The conferences resumed again today under the most unfavorable conditions since they began six days’ ago.
