California View At Malibu Beach, in California, a woman bather said: "This year, we're simply trying to protect the property without bhstructinsr the view." The Hollywood women are accomplishing this by wearing narrow two-piece suits with bra and pants. Many also are going in for strapless suits, but these aren't too revealing because the skirts are longer. New York girls also have made it firmly known that they object to the fancy strapless models. They claim such suits are no good for swimming. They slip down around your knees in the water.

The wired tops were also vetoed. The bathers feel like Brooklyn bridge inside them. We saved the best report for last. The French, it seems, have a new suit planned that is about twice as wide as a piece of string. It's so explosive that they call it the Bikini.

On the French Riviera an American suit would be almost a full-length dress for the Mademoiselles.

Over there they're wearing a new little number called the "diaper pantlet." It's good enough to catch any masculine eye at distances up to a mile and a quarter. See Everything After seeing one of them at Cannes, an English woman 'wired her husband: "Don't worry, dear. You still see everything." United Press correspondents have just completed a survey of the world's top beaches and they report there's plenty of bare skin to be seen but the tiny suits are also artistic. In France, for instance, they also have a white one-piece 'suit that is so tight-fitting it's often mistaken for the lady-wearer's epidermis. The suit is loosely woven so that you may see clear through it in several places.

"After All" Cannes authorities said they would not object if female bathers appeared on the beaches wearing absolutely nothing. "After all," one asked, "How could we tell the difference?" At famous Waikiki, in the Hawaiian Islands, even six-foot males are parading about in white corduroy homemade diaper suits. The women bathers at Waikiki preper nifty two-piece suits that 5W Scene above pictures the snake-like" turn in the New York Central Railroad line at Little Falls, N. where 31- persons were killed and nearly 100 injured in a 1940 train wreck.

And, oddly enough, the formula for both was about the same.

Results Same "We tried putting the pockets and the buttons lower and it seemed to work both ways. On the dummies, at least. So we tried it out on our clerks. Fat ones and thin ones. The results were the same," Laratta said.

The emphasis on material this fall, the big shots of the tailoring business said, will be on plaids with grays and browns holding the upper hand for color. Two pants suits, too, if you want to pay the price. For summer formals, the grays, whites, and midnight blues get the nodin pastels, yet. i But no matter how you slice 'em with shears, they always seem to look better in the store window than they do on me.

NEW YORK, June 26. IP More than 41,000 CIO shipbuilders struck for higher wages in 10 East Coast yards today, halting repair and construction work on 79 major vessels. It was the first union-approved walkout since the passage of the Taft-Hartley labor law. Nine of the yards affected were those of the Bethlehem Steel Company, employing 40,000 workers, and the other was the Atlantic Basin Iron Works repair yard in New York, employing 1,500. The strikers were the vanguard of an army of 150,000 shipyards workers scheduled to go on strike July 1 when present contracts expire.

The workers sought a pay increase of 17.4 cents hourly, job classification, and six paid holidays annually. Affected Bethlehem yards affected by the walkout included four in the New York metropolitan area and five other in Baltimore, Boston and Quincy, Mass. Joseph M. Larkin, Bethlehem vice president in charge of industrial relations, said 73 vessels either under construction or being repaired or converted in the company's yards would be affected by the strike. Larkin said those under construction included two cruisers, the Salem and Def Moines, which are being buijt in the Boston yard for the U.

Navy; four ore carriers a tanker, and six merchant ships. Repair Work Halted Repair work was halted on 66 vessels, 36 of them in the metropolitan New York area. Reconversion was halted on two American passenger ships, the Argentina and the Brazil, and two passenger ships of the United Fruit Company. Larkin said the company refused to raise wages at this time because of the "poor condition of the industry and the already high wage rates. Although union leaders previously stated they were willing to be the first to test powers of the Taft-Hartley law both union and company representatives expressed doubt the strike could be interpreted a violation of the legislation, unless it delayed ship repairs and construction to a point where it could be called a national emergency.

NICHOLS CHICAGO. June 26. IP The well-dressed man this fall will look more like himself than Tony Ga-lento or Tarzan. It won't be the well-dressed man's fault. The gentlemen of the crossed-leg set the tailors are plotting against him.

A waist like Frank Sinatra wears. To Be Loose Fitting "Men's clothing this fall will be a sharp departure from the tight-fitting' garment the GI's and officers wore," said John B. Foreman, host at the meeting.
