Responsibility For
Civil Defense Is
Given to Military
WASHINGTON W — President
Kennedy yesterday transferred to
the Pentagon major responsibility
“for a greatly accelerated civil
defense effort including a nation
wide fall-out shelter program.”
The executive order gave to the
Office of Civil Defense Mobiliza
tion—which has been responsible
for civil defense—the role of “ad
vising and assisting” the Presi
dent in planning the continuity of
and the mobilization of industry
in the event of a war emergency.
Despite reports that OCDM dir
ector Frank B. Ellis had opposed
so sweeping a shift of power to
the Pentagon, the White House
announcement said Kennedy act
ed on Ellis’ recommendations.
A presidential statement em
phasized that civil defense “will
remain civilian in nature and
leadership.”
The White House statement
summarizing the new responsib
ilities of Secretary of Defense
Robert McNamara said he will
“be in charge of federal programs
for the protection of the nation’s
civilian population against the
dangers of nuclear attack.”

Gold Reserve Drained Of
Additional $25 Million
During This Past Week
NEW YORK UP — The U.S.
gold stockpile suffered its largest
loss in over five months during
the week ended Wednesday, the
Federal Reserve Board reports.
Reserves declined $25 million
to a total of $17,526,000,000. The
last larger loss was $26 million
during the week ended Feb. 8.
During five of the last six
weeks the U.S. gold supply has
increased. The last decline was
$1 million during the week ended
April 27.
A board spokesman related last
week’s decline to the churning of
funds in the international money
market. He indicated the entire
purchase of $25 million was by
one central bank, but the country
was not identified.
The U.S. gold loss for the year
to date rose to $241 million.
The motto on the first coin is
sued by the U. S. government—
the 1787 penny—was: “Mind ycur
business.”

*—-by Virginia Graham
Here 1 am in a waiting room at New York’s Idlewild Air
port. I’ve just been told that my plane is 40 minutes late—it
seems that luggage intended for one plane was loaded on
another. These things happen, but not too often, thank good
ness. When you travel as much as I do, it’s surprising in a
way that such errors are comparatively rare. So many things
can go wrong—but don’t.
I’ve been touring the country emceeing the International
Beauty Show (for the people'
who popularize that famous
slogan “Does She Or Doesn’t
She?”), the Midwest Beauty
Show in Chicago, and others
in Philadelphia
,># and Washing
ton. Now I’m off
for Miami and
looking forward
to the trip a
longside Vidal
Sassoon, one of
London’s out
standing hair
stylists. In my
appointment
boox he’s a genius. Clairol
brought him over for an Amer
ican tour and audiences adore
him. He has a plush salon on
Bond Street and styles duch
esses, members of the Royal
family and most of the high
fashion models.
He charges six dollars for a
haircut, and if you see him
work you’ll know why. Each
strand of hair is combed a
dozen times before he cuts —
he is as agile as a fencer and
as graceful as an Astaire. He
uses scissors almost always ex
cept for very thick hair which
he taners with a razor.
Vidal was smitten with our
hair colors said we were
oceans ahead of European tints.
He and I were discussing many
things — his love life which
must remain secret—but, what
I a best seller—but mainly his
I reactions to Americans as a
, first time visitor.
He worked with Andre
Anouge, Victor Belestri, Gene
Smith of New York, Mr. Vin
cent of Washington, D. C., and
Anthony Cesario of Philadel
phia. His praise was deserved
—they are exciting, dedicated
technicians. He also praised
the new Vital Look in styling
—simple coifs designed to
mold the head and highlight
color. Blondes are very desir
able in Europe and Clairol’s
shades of blonde made his eyes
bright with appreciation.
I sometimes wonder whether
we ladies tend to be unfair to
the hairstylist who does so
much to complement our
beauty. We take his work for
granted, but actuallv he is an
artist with a comb and I, for
one, vote him mv thanks and
appreciation.
At last . here’s that an
nouncement. The plane is ready
to take off for Miami Hope I
find my luggage when I get
there. Bye now

ANOTHER BIG REASON BEHIND THE BIG BOOM IN FORD SALES
No other wagon can match
Fords features (orpopularity!)
There’s a whole wagonload of
Ford features that only America’s
station wagon specialists can
bring you.
First, there’s more room.
Ford’s extended load deck is the
longest and widest in its field.
The tailgate opening is seven
inches wider than last year, too.
There’s more convenience. You
can have an electrically con
trolled roll-down rear window in
any Ford wagon . . . it’s standard
in all Country Squires and 9
Passenger Country Sedans. In
their field, only Ford wagons
have all seats facing forward.
There’s more distinction. The
Country Squire (shown above)
is the one and only wagon in its
field with body panels that look
like mahogany, wear like steel.
There are more savings, too.
Ford’s Ranch Wagon is America’s
lowest-priced,* full-size wagon.
And like all Fords, every Ford
wagon is built to be more service
free: goes 30,000 miles between
chassis lubrications, 4,000 miles
between oil changes, brakes ad
just automatically, mufflers are
made to last three times as long
as ordinary mufflers, and the
finish never needs waxing.
STOP putting off that station
wagon you’ve always wanted.
SWAP for a '61 Ford wagon now
while your Ford Dealer’s cele
brating record-breaking sales.
SAVE with the wagon America
loves most . . . made by FORD
. . . America’s station wagon
specialists for 32 years!
