Nostalgia Craze
In New Fashions
ROME (AP) — Valentino is
giving the nostalgia craze a
boost, stressing the romantic,
feminine look in his spring-
summer collections.
Pants bowed out and skirts
curtsied in. Miniskirts — re
member them? — are out.
The Valentino showing Thurs
day ended five days of Italian
high fashion presentations for
the 1973 season. Designers
didn’t agree on everything dur
ing their showings, but one
message was clear. They are

Valentino’s mood was flow

Additionol
Troopers
Requested
RALEIGH (AP) — Highway
Patrol Commander Edwin Guy
said today his department has
requested funding for 150 addi
tional troopers during the next
two years.
Guy said the additional
troopers would give his force,
already second largest in the
United States, 1,211 officers.
Some of the positions are feder
ally funded, he said.
Guy and Motor Vehicles Com
missioner Joe Garrett dis
cussed the department’s legis
lative proposals and reviewed
its activities for the past year
in brief appearances before the
High Highway Safety Com
mittee.
Both endorsed proposals to
strengthen laws dealing with al
cohol tests for motorists and
high speed pursuits. Guy also
suggested mandatory license
suspension and probationary
periods for motorists convicted
of driving under the influence
of intoxicants or drugs, making
the punishment uniform with
major speeding convictions.
Guy labeled alcohol as “the
greatest single factor involving
death and injury on your
streets and highways today.”
He said the Highway Patrol
charged 46,000 motorists last
year with driving while in
toxicated. The patrol as a
whole charged 360,000 persons
with “clear cut, substantial vio
lations” of state law in 1972,
Guy said.
sprigged prints of grand

after-dark dresses.
Pink violets and roses showed
up on full-skirted, ruffled eve
ning georgettes, usually cut
high in the bodice. More blos
soms cascaded down the flow
ing sleeves, and a flower nose
gay nestled at the shoulder or
waist.
Valentino’s new spring colors
are apple green and pale lilac.
But he didn’t forget his favorite
white and beige, which domi
nated the daytime collection.
Combined in checks, they
were used in a raw silk trench
coat that had a shirttail hem.
The companion suit featured a
belted jacket, also shirttailed,
and a moderately flaring skirt.
Valentino’s daytime skirts
barely clear the knee.
Seven-eights coats, in white
or beige, were belted and had
set-in sleeves.
Severe little white wool
dresses got a feminine touch
from drawnwork on the bodice.
Their cardigan jackets were in
a herringbone pattern knit.
Two women designers, Irene
Galitzine and Mila Schoen, put
pants high in their offerings but
kept things on a feminine
Flane.
Mila Schoen’s pants were
wide and cuffed, ankle-length
and of linen for beach wear.
Her skirts sailed above the
knee.
Irene Galitzine’s woman is
really feminine and her colors
of beige, blue-green and peach
are classic.
Another designer, Ognibene-
Zendman, made no bones about
nostalgia. Her clothes recall the
woman of the 30s. Dresses are
loosely belted just below the
natural waist with wrist-length
or elbow-length sleeves.
Stud Study Shows
Studs Cut Accidents
Snow tires with studs de
crease accidents, according to
an independent survey taken
by police departments in sub
urban New Jersey communi
ties.
In the period from Dec. 1,
1971 to April 1, 1972 more
than 90 per cent of all cars
involved in accidents were
not equipped with studded
snow tires. The survey was
conducted in areas where at
least 50 per cent of the motor
ists used studded tires.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) —
It had been a long trip from
New Orleans, hitchhiking all
the way, and now 20-year-old
Mary Wood was plunking down
her last $25 to see the Rolling
Stones in concert.
“Now I’ll be broke forever,”
she said.
Like a handful of others with
no place to stay, Mary was en
camped by an outside wall of
the Inglewood Forum and de
termined to endure the rain
and chilly winds until the per
formance Thursday evening.
Mostly young and wearing
everything from fancy bell bot
toms to Army surplus fatigues,
thousands of fans showed up to
pay from $10 to $100 for a
ticket to see the British group
widely regarded as No. 1 in the
world of rock music.
A sellout — which seemed
certain — of all 18,699 seats
would raise a gross of $516,810.
The net proceeds are intended
for the victims of last month’s
earthquake at Managua, Nica
ragua.
Bianca Jagger, wife of the
Rolling Stones’ lead singer,
Mick, is a Nicarauguan.
Tickets went on sale early
Tuesday morning; and, by late
Tuesday, only a few $25 and
$100 tickets were left. Forum
manager Jim Appell called it
“the fastest-selling concert
we’ve ever bad.”
Fourteen-year-old Merrie
Lawson said she saved her ba
bysitting money for weeks and
used it to buy a $25 ticket.
“I was saving up for some
thing big, and this is it,” she
said. “The Rolling Stones are
No. 1.”
Mrs. Kennedy, 82, said ste is
now writing her memoirs.
