More Males' Suits? Well, Perhaps, But It is the consensus among the retail dealers in men's and boys' clothing in Nassau county that it is too soon to say what effect the new ruling of the OPA will have upon the supply of men's and boys' suits. nies «\ Men's And Women's Units CONTINGENT LEAVES FROM DISTRICT 712 George Mirabella of Bethpage was leader of the gulp which left for induetion into armed forces, from the Hicksville firehouse yes- terday under orders 'of selective service board No. 712, Hicksville.

Blazing Car After Crash Three persons were trapped in an overturned blazing car and injured yesterday after an auto driven by Henry Beltrami, 51, of 134-03 Rockaway boulevard, South Ozone Park, collided with one operated by Sadie Holmes, 58, Negro, of 28 Clinton street, Inwood, at Doughty boulevard and Wanser avenue,}nwood. Beltrami's car, travelling south on Doughty boulevard, was hurled forward about 100 feet after the -| impact, overturned as it 'hit a :|eurb and burst into flames. The fre was put out by the Inwood fire department with Edward Don- : {ald in charge. Condition Fair\ Trapped in the burning car were . Mrs. Beltrami, 48, and Vincent stoffics at Wempstesd, N. T. Dally Tacept Seadar Pubilahed Beltrami, 25. Mrs. Beltrami suf- fered first degree burns of her face and hands and was treated at the scene by Dr. M. R. Talis- man of Woodmere, who ordered her taken to St. Joseph's hospital, Far Rockaway. Her condition was reported 'as \fair\ this morning. Vincent Beltratni suffered first degree facial burns while the elder Beltrami suffered multiple injuries, including lacerations caused by glass from the shat- tered windshield. Sergeant Robert Kirk .and Pa- trolmen George Leary, George Meyers and Steven McKenna of the fourth precinct police assisted at the scene. Beltrami's car was demolished while the Holmes's car was damaged on its right front. According. to police, Sadie Holmes was operating the car with a learner's permit. for Today's The first reaction to the new ruling is one of dismay at the size and complexity of the ruling it- y t said, , the- x, to cunraVvghs. (.. CS One wag the: the April 15 mm mm go into effect because it will take that long to wade through its 82 \lo the + optimistic owever, the _more® feel the ruling should. break the dam and release at least a momentary flood of suits, shirts and oddments of men's and 'boys' attire. so sa But, even the most optimistic fail to see any great or, prolonged relief from 'such a comparatively small reserve as the 700,000 gar- ments estimated by the National Association of Retail Clothiers and Furnishers, Some aver that it will take at least 18 months for the luppéy to come, even .with the de- mand. Slight Trickle likely As one Freeport merchant put it, it will take several weeks fully to digest the ruling with all its complexities and get a full picture of the situation before any definite action can be taken under its provisions. Some of the biggest clothing manufacturers are not expected to abide by the ruling since they come under the heading of ex- treme hardship cases that require more drastic relief, it was said. Most merchants expect some slight trickle of material within the next week or 10 days. To the surprise of nobody, the prices are expected to go up from 10 to 20 per cent. With an' increase of 28 per cent. granted garment work- ers, some merchants cannot see how the increase can be kept down to 20 per cent.. Very few merchants expect any flood of goods before the day the ruling is to go into effect, although it is conceded: that the govern- ment might permit the manufac- turers to dispatch their reserve supply to the 'retailers imme- diately and bill them retroac- tively, thus giving the public the benefit of the ruling before it of- ficially goes into effect.

However, thanks to our small stature, a way was found when Debbie, a new member, arrived i a portable wicker bassinette on wheels, which Sally, the ver- \ satile welder, made and pat- - terned after the basket sold with the other items in the attached ad. Soon as Debbie had her in- . fant son, Liewellyn, sound asleep in the bassinette on the floor of an alcove off the % cabin, your nimble chronicler climbed into the basket along- side Llewellyn. The pink downy quilt wasn't near large €nough to cover the baby, too, and it's a wonder he didn't catch his death of cold in the breeze blowing in from the bay.
