HALTS PLAN TO TRIM WOMEN
DRESS STYLES
Veto of Goods Channeling Cuts Production of Male Outfits.
By JIM G. LUCAS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 29.—CPA
Administrator John D. Small apparently :doesn't want to force dress designers, inspired by Paris styles, to give up wool for women's dresses so that more men's suits can be made. Mr. Small has given a. “pocket veto” to industry-government recommendations that the’ wool go to men’s suits. A four-point program, prepared

and indorsed by OPA, the office’ of | economic stabilization, CPA's in-/ dustry advisory committee and Mr. | Small's own textile advisers, has| been on his desk for two weeks.
Production Lags
There it appears likely to remain for another week or 10 days while the output of men’s suits lags fur- | ther behind CPA's announced goal| of 28 million for 1946. The program would: ONE: Restrict the amount of wool available for wbmen's suits and thus * force designers to give up new Paris
models. |
TWO: Restore the normal balance between goods available for men’s and women's suits (60 per cent to men’s, 40 per cent to women's), THREE: Channel rayon and cotton lining to men's suits.
