No Style, No Chic

Any Russian who cared to design an outfit of clothes was invited last week by the State Clothing Trust to send the design or a sample garment to Moscow.

Entries will be judged "from the point of view of sanitary or health features and the suitability of the garment for wear when doing a given kind of work."

Tactful, the State Clothing Trust spokesman did not suggest that modish men and women are wasting money in their striving for style and chic. He merely said: "The United States leads the world in the mass production of clothes, but there they are designed without thoughts of practical utility and millions of dollars are spent annually in producing new styles."

"There is in Russia," said the Soviet spokesman, "a somewhat greater supply of clothing than there was a year ago."
