BATHING SUITS SPARK VARIETY OF REACTION

By JEAN SPRAJN WILSON

NEW YORK tAPl—Its all according to the viewpomt whether the nudest thing in women's swimwear fashion. that topless wonder. is quite an eyeful. just awful. or un- lawful.

Opinions differed this sharply this week as Rudi Gernreich‘s daring design for feminine sun worshippers was hand for buyers across the country after bracing intro- duction here a few days ear-

er.

Some buyers stocked it to keep step with the trend to- ward overall suntans. an As- sociated Press survey showed. Others snubbed it because the mode did not suit the moral mood of their clientele. or the town.

Lord and Taylor's in New York. cancelled an order be- cause tihe halved blkine is "not in taste conforming to standards of the store." "THAT’S INDECENT . . . "

"That’s indecent exposure." exclaimed a spokesman for Filenes, in Boston.

“They‘ll never sellin Seat- tle." said a spokesman for Bon Marche in that city.

"I can't see this fashion be- coming popular in Michigan for several years—1f ever." declared Robert Emmet of Jacobson Shops. Detroit.

“It, isn‘t in keeping with our store image." contended a Jordan Marsh spokesman in Florida.

The customer who does find a seller may be treated as though she were buying boot~ leg booze.

"We will have them for peo- ple who ask. but we have ab- solutely no plans to display them." said Katherine Rob-

inson of B. Altman’s in Nev

r .

“If a customer asks for it we Will usher her into a fli ting room and show it to bat But please don't quote me. ahuddered another New York store buyer with 21 of the $24 wool-knot trunks on order.

“There's always somebody who's going to wear that sort of thing." sighed Miss Diana Gunn. a Dallas school

teacher.

A San Francisco buyer has already taken the plunge in one. And actress Pamela Tl!- fin said she'd go along with the “prevailing mood," like at spots on the Riviera.

"But I'd never wear such a revealing suit if I were the only woman in the party so exposed. That would be just plain exhibitionism."

The prevailing mood of the Seattle police department is to arrest immediately the wearer of such a garment on a public beach.

PASSING THE BUCK

In Chicago a police oﬁficlal referred the question to the parks department. claiming: "We do not set. standards for beach attire." But a parks de- partment spokesman passed the buck back by claiming:

uation is for the police."

A Miami beach law forbids bathing naked or in indecent dress. A manager of a pri- vate club thought his club members were “too old and decrepit" to wear them.

Some buyers who bypassed the bare bosom bathing suit believe the timing is not right for it. but the day will come. they say. recalling early re- action to the bikini.

Miscarriage Investigation May Have New Application

- . By STEPHEN SCOTT

VANCOUVER ICP‘ —— A re-i search scientist says investiga- tion now under way could load to discoveries that would help 3 the human body cast off un- born. abnormal children.

Dr. David H. Carr of London. Ontario. said here he is en- gaged in basic research tutu miscarriage. \l'i‘llt‘ll he de scribed as “spontaneous abor- lion,“

H: strcssed that the applica- ' tion of any discoveries rcsull n: from his findings would be up to others.

But the body now aborted smic abnormalities in a “very cflicienl way." Perhaps his re- search could lead to helping the process.

He said about 15 per cent ol I all pregnancies and in mis- carriages.

Past rcscarch had shown that about 60 per cent of these preg nancies would have produc abnormal babies. Now his re- search had shown 22 per cent of them would have had chro- mosome abnormality. .

CONTROL DEVELOPMENT

Chromosomes are forms that . control the structural develop- ment of the body.

With chromosome abnormal- ities a child could be anything from sterile to mentally re- tarded. A mongoloid baby —— there is about one in every 600

ibirths —— had this abnormality

One out of about 200 babies

were abnormal in some way. he said. But the body. using some mystcrious method. re- jected a far greater number 0. abnormalities through miscar riage. Meanwhilc. Dr. R. A. H Kinch of London. Ont.. society president. said changes in Can- ada's birth control laws would be "most welcome and intei ligcnt."

He was commenting on a re- port that the general council ol the Canadian Medical Associ- ation meeting here next week

‘will consider recommendation.

about changs in the criminal code section that. forbids sale or advertising of birth contro. methods.

Dr. Kinch agreed that the law is widely broken.

He said that repeal of the law

3 would permit birth control clin-

ics to spring up across the

i not afford to go to a doctor for ibith control information.
