Ai CHARLIE'S "MOTHER' A r.LW 'boss" for Charlie McCarthy was revealed with disclosure of the marriage of ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, 40, to Frances Weston, 22, former model, in Ensenada, Mexico, last June 23. The newlyweds are pictured, above, in a night club. It was the first marriage for both. 'SHORT' ATTIRE FOR MEN STEEPLEJACKS RENOVATE N.Y. CATHEDRAL Bare facts of the men's clothing shortage are revealed in this photo of a fashion show put on by Washington war vets. There just isn't enough rayon to fill demands for suit linings as well as tire fabrics, and clothing is getting the shorts end of the deal. NEW VORK â€" Men's clothing racks are empty because automo- bile tire racks are filling up. .So men who need both new suits and new tires must take their choice â€" they can't have both. Kayon, used to line men's suits and overcoats, also is in great de- mand a^ a fabric for the casings of new synthetic tires. Natural rul)ber tires used cotton cords, but the synthetics gain increased dur- tbility with rayon, producers claim. For that reason the tire industry has become an important rayon buyer, and Akron is ordering tre- mendous (luantities of the yarn. Clothing manufacturers say there is n« feasible substitue for rayon linings. .Silk is equally scarce, and alpaca, a high grade mixture using cotton, has been discontinued by mills. Clothiers need approx- imately three yards of rayon lining for very four yards of suiting. The rayon demand of the clothing in- dustry will be doubled. The supply has been cut in b;ih". RAYON FOR TIRES So, severe is the shortage of men's wear, manufacturers say, that not even the veteran.-,' demands can be met. .Satisfying normal civilian re- quirements is an impossibility under present conditions, tlicy declare. Since veterans get no priority in the clothing market, the inevitable scramble may make the clf)tliing problems of ex-servicemen nothing short of desper;itc. Clothing circles estimate that on the basis of two suits per veteran 24,000,000 garment.,' nnist be pro- duced. Civilian demand is cstim- itcd at ir.,000,000 suits. This total of 40,000,000 compares with a peak production of L>.'>,OOO.onn in 1911. I The story in topcoats and overcoats is almost as bad. FIRST IN TOKYO BAY Mount Fujiyama was a fitting backdrop for the Pacific Fleet a» it gathered in Tokyo Bay, marking the aunaet of Japan's dream of world conquest. The cruiier San Diego, Hagship of the Tokyo taak force, was first of tha "big boys" to anchor here, but tari of th« minttweepcr fleet Mjr thejr cleared the harbor. While producers of rayon yarn arc expanding their capacity, cloth- ing manufacturers declare it will be a year before increased production is realized. Tn view of the retarded production of new automobiles they feel that the r.nyon for rubber tires should be allocated to clothing to fill an imperative demand. The clothing industry uses ap- proximately 100,000,000 yards of rayon in a normal year. Manufact- urers, faced with almost twice the normal demand for clothing, say they will be fortunate to realize 40 to .'JO,000,000 yards this year. The supply is raijidly dwindling. MORE WOOLENS A further complication is the dissatisfaction of r.iyon mills with Office of Price Administration ceil- ings on linings for men's clothing. A greater return can be obtained by .selling the finished cloth to other markets. Two government agencies â€" the Office of \\'ar Moblizalion and Re- conversion and the Civilian Pro- duction Administration â€" have be- come so alarmed that si.>ccific ray- on lining output has been ordered cli;iunellc(l to men's clothing man- ufacturers. This move has caused women's clothing producers to pro- test, since they in liu'n will suffer under the new allocation. The entire picture contrasts with the .situation in woolens, which is improving. .Mthough the govern- ment took 100 per cent of all wor- sted production for the armed for- ces from January to .^UKnst, littS, mills, have resumed production for civilian use. Hy January the short- age of fabrics is ex|icctcd to be eased. There will be no new suits, how- ever, unless rayiMi for linings is made available. Putting all this pipe together will require approximately 2.'i,000 coup- lers. It takes 10,000 to hold to- gether the .scaffolding on the chur- ch now. It takes a lot of hustling to climb around the 34-floor-high tinker toy, but the average age of the workers is near 50. Some of them make the climb twice a day and foreman Bill got quite a chuckle out of the poor office workers when the New York elevator operators went on strike not so long ago. "When we get up there we see lots and lots of taxicabs and lots and lots of people but some morn- ings it's so misty you don't see a thing," he said.

NEW YORKâ€" Bill Inglis is 63 years old, but he says he enjoys climbing around on one of the big- gest tinker toy assemblies ever put together. It covers the 330-foot steeple of St. Patrick's Cathedral, fronting New York's famous Fifth Avenue. Ninety thousand feet of pipe have been used and it is expected that more than 160,000 feet will be need- ed to complete the scaffolding re- quired by workmen who are repair- ing the cathedral.
