“OUT OF ORDER”
By Hugo S. Sims
The suggestion of former president Herbert Hoover
that the United Nations be reorganized without the
communist members sounds somewhat sensible to
many Americans, in view of the disturbing conflicts
within the organization.
Nevertheless the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the
Prime Minister of India and the representative of the
Philippine Republic have promptly served notice that
the suggestion is “out of order.”
The spokesmen of these countries, no doubt, take
cognizance of the danger that might engulf them of
Russia goes on a march. They probably realize that, in
the organization of the United Nations, they may hold
something of a balance of power between the western
powers and the Communistic group.
Certainly, they have nothing to lose by maintaining j
the United Nations and much to worry about if the dem
ocratic nations of the earth get together in a federation
of states, based on the concerted cooperation of free!
peoples and free peoples alone.

THE PLAN TO CHANGE VET’S INSURANCE
by David O. Tyson
WASHINGTON—Legislation to cut the cost of the
cost of the veterans’ insurance program may soon be in
troduced in Congress. A House Expenditures subcom
mittee has ended hearings on National Service Life In
surance (NSLI) and hopes before Congress adjourns to
come up with specific recommendations for ironing out
wrinkles in the program.
Rep. Porter Hardy (D-Va.), subcommittee chairman,
made it clear, however, that the insurance protection of
veterans and servicemen who now hold policies cannot
be affected. “NSLI policies,” he said, “are definite, ir
revocable contracts between the government and the
insured.” But Rep. Hardy may recommend changes in

the types of policies to be issued from now on. What
they will be he isn’t saying until he can study the evi
dence further.
One likely recommendation might reduce dividends
slightly on present policies. During the hearings the
subcommittee questioned whether the three per cent
interest paid by the government on invested NSLI fund
was not too liberal a subsidy. The secretary of the treas
ury, not Congess, could bring this interest rate into line
with the current market r^ate of 2.2 per cent. The sub
committee said the government in this way could have
saved $210,000,000 upto October, 1949, and still kept
the NSLI fund intact.
TIES FOR FATHER’S DAY SHOW GREAT VARIETY
1 Jr nv *1
By Dorothy Roe, Associated Press Fashion Editor ..
That perennial Father’s Day necktie has developed
a colloquial accent.
Experts of the National Tie Foundation. who’spend
their days in weighty research on the noose around
Dad’s neck, say you can tell a man’s home state by the
necktie he wears.
— — . +--- -
Just as surely as “You-all” tips
off a Southerner, so does an ex
tra-long, extra-wide necktie in a
surrealist or scenic design denote
a Westerner. The color, a wild
pastel.
New Yorkers lean toward nar
row English-slyle ties in more ,
conservative colors and patterns I
— regimental and old-school
stripes still are strong.
In the Middlewest they like the
scrambled eggs variety of ties in j
vivid tones, preferably red.
New Englanders prefer blue
neckties, and keep them conser
vative, while an advertising man
from any section is the boy who (
goes for the hand-painted model,'
featuring mermaids o r lightly- [
clad chorus girls.
The national necktie color fa
vorite is red. ranging from bright
scarlet to discreet maroon, accor
ding to the measure of a man’s
courage in sartorial matters. Blue
is next in popularity, with brown
a close third. .
The average American husband
has about 18 ties, most of which
have been bought and presented
by his women-folk on appropriate
occasions such as Christmas, Fath
er’s Day and birthrays. He never.
throws away a tic, seldom has one
cleaned, and after wearing them
for about ten months passes them
on to his younger brother or son.
Ties are growing bigger all the
time. Before World War II the
average length was 46 inches,
width 3-3/4 inches. Now that
more tic shows because of the dis
appearance of the vest, the aver
age tie is 48 to 54 inches long,
close to 5 inches wide.
The necktie designers stop at
nothing. T h ey have made ties
with actual photographs printed
on them, ties with hand-painted
portraits, ties that light up in the
dark, ties of every possible mat
erial. including metal, leather and
fur.
One enterprising manufacturer
recently turned out a series of
ties marked “It’s a boy” and ‘‘It’s
a girl” to be sent to new fathers.
With every three dozen he throws
in one proclaiming “It’s twins.”
And here’s a final word of cau
tion—when selecting the Father’s
Day tie. consider your male. If
he’s an old-school-tie man don’t
give him a phosphorescent hand
painted model, and if his favorite
color is red, let him have it.

WORLD WAR II BANNED
IN ITALY'S SCHOOLS
ROME, (£») — World War II?
What’s that? Officially, Italy’s
postwar high school graduates
have never heard of it. Nor, in the
classroom, have they ever heard
of Benito Mussolini.
For the past five years, in
Italy’s grammar schools and high
schools, history has stopped in
1918. Allied Military Government
first placed a ban on secondary
school teaching of Fascist history
and the events leading up to the
war.
The occupation author i t i e s
wanted to avoid “classroom con
troversies.” They ordered refer
ences to Mussolini and Fascism
edited out of textbooks, some
times with the rough expedient of
paper and paste. The ban has
never been revoked, although Al
lied military rule ended with the
Peace Treaty in 1947. An educa
tion ministry commission has
been studying the problem of ob
jective presentation in the class
room of the controversial Fascist
era, but a spokesman said he does
not know when they will finish
the job.

do you think of that blonde?
