Tip to Ladies By Jay Breen

NEW YORK, Aug. 16 — The last person a4 woman sl d bring along with Her when she buys a hat is her husband or boy friend, designer Walter Florell said today. If be's a timid man, he'll repress you into picking something inconspicuous,” he explained, “if he's a show-off, he's liable to coax you into something entirely too daring. Mr. Florell said such noted glamor girls as Joan Fontaine, Rita Hayworth, Pat Wymore and Marlene Dietrich all have brought current husbands or boy friends with them to his midtown salon. But hé added none of them let the males open their mouths about what looked good or bad. ¢ & ¢ HE SAID those and other celebrated wearers of his millinery flatly conceded that the hat de-

impress other women. They use their hats to tell their lady friends what frame of mind they're in. & “For instance, a woman who's normally quiet is serving notice she’s on the romantic warpath when she changes to something bold,” he said. “Her husband may take six months to notice the change, but her bridge partners will spot it the first time she wears her new chapeau.” He qualified to the extent that most women

they don't match a prevailing mood. > 2

ODDLY ENOUGH, Mr. Florell said, most men .

decided early in life what kind of hats they like on their favorite women and seldom vary from that original choice.” He ¢ited no less than four famed Hollywood husbands who send their wives and girl friends to his salon so their brides would repeat a certain hat style, “The fact that they change wives doesn't seem to matter,” he said. “One of Hollywood's fleetest roamers married a blonde, brunette and redhead, in that order. The first was nearly six feet tall, the third was barely five feet, yet he wanted all of them wearing the same basic style of hat.” oo» oo» o THE NOTED designer predicted that this fall's

millinery fashions were going to kick up a terrible

fuss from the male sida of the fence. They feature crowns so high they're vaguely reminiscent of the caps worn by the British troops at the battle of Concord. ! “They're a Merrific tonic to a woman,” Mr. Florell said, “but it makes a gentleman companion less than five-feet seven feel like he's a bell-hop. I smell trouble.”

NEW YORK, Aug. 16—The recent attempt to organize the police of New York City into a trade union strikes me as horrifying, first, and then something close to the kind of ridiculousness suitable for zany musical comedy. Preferably starring Bobby Clark. On the serious side you might let Mike Quill take over the armed forces, too, and then he can gtop or start a war to suit his megalomania. Old Jawn I.ewis darn’ near did that in the last one with his coal strikes, and you could as well go whole hawg and allow the entire business of living to be placed on wages-and-hours and portal-to-portal. The cop thing, in past light of union cantankerousness—and in past light of Mr. Quill's complete disregard for the welfare of his city—could be wonderful in its potential. The cops could be made to walk off their beats, leaving a clear field for the vandals and thugs to cavort at their leisure. with the entire theory of law-and-order reduced to the caveman concept of tooth and fang. o BH G HOW THIS mad idea first reached responsible consideration I've no idea; but it sounds more like an opium dream than a reality. ‘The cops, despite their many faults and fréquent vendlities, have alwavs been a svmbol of dedicated 24-hour protection for you and me, The policeman, the soldier, and the clergyman formed a trinity for the preservation of body, land, and soul from the evils that beset body, land, and soul. Organize ‘one, and you may as well organize them all At a given signal of dissatisfaction with wages or hours or working conditions, I foresee a beautiful state of complete helplessness. The footpad assaults the citizen, the aggressive foreign power takes over the country, and the devil is free to work his will on the undefended soul. Because the cop gets off the beat, the soldier lays down his gun, and the Padre skips his pulpit. oe oo oo SOME WEIRD transformation of character seems to have poisoned the personality of the American individual in recent years. There seems

NICE, France, 16—“Whoosh!"'--that’s our theme song. We're going so fast on this round-the-world hop that we've flown over three countries in four hours. In ancther hour. we should be in a fourth countrv-—Italy. A couple of hours ago we soared high over Madrid. Looking down, we could see the bullfight arena where, two vears ago, we got a little ill watching a bull get Killed. On we tore to Barcelona, Salvador Dali's home town, and made an airport stop there, but.:now .., Now we're happy. We've got a bottle of red wife in front of us. And an “entrecote,’” or snjall steak. Some Nicoise salad, mostly ripe tomatoes. We're at a little outdoor restaurant at the Nice airport. . ‘ Monte Carlo Casino's a few miles away, and go is Aly Khan's villa at Cannes. Aly ain't home. I just called up. So we sit here thinking about the fact that we've flown over Portugal, Spain and France in an afternoon. We believe Lisbon is about the most spotless city we've seen. “It’s so clean!” we remarked to friends there. “We were waiting for you to say that,” they said, smiling.

ON THE BACK streets, on the waterfront, vou gee the barefoot fishwives carrying tall baskets of fish on their heads—and so I became a fishwife for a while. I persuaded one of them to let me balance her basket of eels on my head. “Canasta” is the Portuguese word for these baskets. Some of them carry gix or eight boxes stacked 3 feet high on their heads. They wear a little circular roll of cloth about an inch thick on top of their heads for the burden to rest on. I had to take off my Texas sombrero—which the whole waterfront was staring at-—to make room for the basket of eels on my head, Ragged little kids were whining, “Escudos, escudos!” (the Portugese coin, worth about 3c.) My Beautiful Wife was in the background whining, too. “You're holding the basket with your hands. No fair!” she shouted, I took my hand from the basket. Crash! The basket slipped off my head. The eels spilled out of the basket and down om my shirt. Everybody laughed. I had to bend down and pick up the lady’s slippery eels. >"> @ AFTERWARD we rode the ferry across the Tagos River—just like going to Staten Island — to a seafood restaurant. On the table were some little yellow cardboard ‘boxes which advertised some stomach medicines. “Doesn’t speak very well for the joint,” the B. W. sald.

Attempt to Unionize N.Y. Police Is Laugh

to be a lack of reliance on personal ability, an absence of personal confidence, a loss of satisfaction of personal achievement. The trend toward the herd was never stronger, and anybody with one eye on history knows what happens to herds. Herds get dominated by one herd bull, with a few favored lieutenants to help him, and all individual freedom is subjugated of the herd bull and his assistants. We have culled this fascism, on occasion, and communism, and whatever we call it has always led to the semi-destruction of the herd. The

to the whim |

growing union attempt to take over the country is

no less a pointed effort toward totalitarianism than Hitler's insidious strangulation of Germany

or Stalin's clutch on the popular neck of Russia.

o> oo oe THE PASS at the police bv Master Quill is a trial putsch of tremendous implication. It is the first naked attempt to control one of the three vital branches of free government. He who owns the cops owns the nation. Mr. Quill's barefaced threat to commence an underground organization of the police is almost horrifying. Union technique in that case is gradually to sign up sufficient members to be able to present a demand for open recognition. Failure to obtain this recognition could then be answered with unionism’'s most potent weapon—stirike. Strike in thid€ case not only-means lack of protection for the innocent bystander. but also intimidation of the faithful dissenters. And this means nothing but civil war, with the citizen in the middle.

SS IT PRESENTS a lovaly picture for this city,

and the nation. If the idea continues to gain strength, if it isn't crushed. then I have a suggestion: Let Mr. Quill organize all men into one nuge union. and let John Lewis organize all the women. Then things will be simplified enormously. At the whim of 2ither man. the business of breeding may be effectively stamped out, and we won't need the atom bomb to convince us that the human race has achieved great distinction, lately; in suicidal stupidity.
