Battle Oi The Neciiline__fioes 0n

By DOROTHY ROE

NEW YORK, July 13—(AP)— The battle of the neckline goes on apace in fall fashions currently. being previewed for the press.

Designers vie for the most dar- ing decolietage, and one of the newest and most startllngls known variously as the "fan neckline," crumb catcher, balcony and shelf. It consists of a bodice flaring upward and outward from the waist, with no apparent means of

support. Jo Copland, known for her so- phisticated after-five costumes,

employs the crumb-catcher sil- houette to distinct advantage of a striped green suroh cocktail dress guaranteed to break the ice at any gathering.

This _designer also shows a sleek collection of slim city suits, with dressmaker touches such as velvet trim, brad binding, rows of small pearl buttons and such. Skirts are slim ind jackets gen- erally longer. Miss Copland likes contrasting apron panels on dark afternoon gowns, goes in for elab- orate side drapes on her more formal designs.

Ben Reig concentrates on sleeve interest for all, introducing “mer- cury wing" silhouette, which is s flaring lapel arrangement stitched into the sleeve seam. He shows also the mousquetaire sleeve, which is buttoned from wrist to elbow and suggests the long mousquetaire glove.

The “gyro skirt"_ is another Relg innovation of the season, with panels applied at side front and side back to suggest that it would be~dandy ~fun to whirl. His "tailspin skirt" is slim and straight in front, develops a flirt- atious flare at centre back.- -

The American correspondents identified Nat Barrows of the Chi- cago Daily News, Bertram I-Iulen of the New York Times. John Werkley of Time Magazine, William H. New- ton of Scripps-I-Ioward Newspaper Alliance, and James Branyan of the Houston Post.

Papers carried by the victims led to the identification of George L. Moorad of radio station KGW, Port- land, Ore., and Vincent Mahoney of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The bodies of Fred Colvig of the Denver Post and Lynn C. Mahan, a New York public relations man. had not yet been identified. Mahan had sponsored the correspondents’ tour of Indonesia in co-operatlon with the Dutch Government. The party was returning tn the Nether- lands nt- the time of the crash.

I-t also denies the sacraments to Roman Catholics diffusing or reading periodicals, newspapers or pamph- ets which propagate the doctrine or activity of the Communists or who write in them."

existing legislation, that would let the Maritime "system" set; ‘rates pretty much as it wished.

At present, the C. N. R. cannot drop rates to favor Maritime cus- tomers wlthout laying itself open to the charge of discriminating against other clients. If a separate Maritime railway were to do this, that charge would not: be valid technically under existing legisla- tion.

Mr. Matheson ln his brief pro- posed that the management of the Maritime system for rate-making purposes should be at Moncton, where the C.N.R. now has its reg- ional headquarters. The brief pro- posed that the Moncton office have "complete administrative powers in the interests of persons and indus- tries located on the ‘system’ in the Maritime Provinces."

M. F. R. Act;

The Maritime Board said amend- ments might be necessary for the Maritime Freight Rates Act, which Elves 20-per-cent freight-rate reduc- tions on some hauls in this iirea with the help of a Federal subsidy.

Amendments to the act, the brief declared, might be needed to meet conditions that have changed since it was passed in 1927.

The board recommended, too, that "class arbitrarles" in effect April 7, 1948, between Marltimes origin. atlng points and other stations in Canada be kept constant in any general rate increase that might be given the railways,

These "arbitrnries" are rates that are set-as the name suggests—arb- ltrarily by the railways, without particular reference to the distance involved in a haul. The April 7 date is the day before the lteneral 21- per-cent freight-rate increase went into effect last year.

In connection with the Maritime Board of Trade proposal for drop- pinr. C.N.R, rates on goods in this area, a suggestion of Mr, Matheson was that the C.P.R. might be reim- burned from the federal treasury to make up for low rates it would have to put into effcct to pick up traffic against low-rate competi- tion.

The C.P.R, operates a line be- tween Monfreal and Saint John, N. B., and also a line in Nova Scotili between Halifax and Yarmciith, Mr, Matheson recommended that the

such a set-up.

Commission chairman W. F. A. Turgeon observed that the separate railway system proposal of the Maritime Board of Trade was a. big departure from normal practice. He asked Mr. Matheson whether the situation could be met by an am- the statute governlng rail operations.

"Any arrangements that would meet the situation would be ac- ceptable," Mr. Matheson replied.

The Jeep has a bed raised to the height of the steering wheel. The gearshift is the some as that on any other car. The accelerator. clutch and brake are all on the same lever. When t-he top of the lever is turned, the car accelerates.

When the lever is pulled back one notch it acts as a clutch, and when it is pulled back any further it acts as a brake. The jeep has a radio set and a heater.
