The Womans Beat rEaturk: writer Ne: NEW YORK (UPD-Willi . Smith, a Philadelphian, repre- sents a two-way breakthrough in New York's multibillion dollar ready-to-wear industry. For one thing, it is a rare person who at 24 can call himself head designer for a successful wholesale firm. For another, Willi Smith is a Negro And as he says, \There are very few of us blacks making it at the top.\ Smith feels, ithough there was no prejudxce against his color and that the industry will open more doors to blacks. \It's more of a hassle over age,\ he said. business tends to float above reality.\ Luck is Part Luck is part of the reason he succeeded early. His backer, businessman Irving - Yanous, gave the designer a chance three years ago with the establishment of Digits, to make sportswear and some daytime and evening dresses. \I didn't have to go through that 10 years or so of getting the 'experience' usually de- manded of designers. Yanous trusted me.\ \We started out at - vthmg,” the designer said in an interview. \The first year, we did a $2 million volume. We're now around $5 million and would -like to keep in that range. The minute you get too big you get gobbled up.\ - As is, the Willi Smith label shows in stores across the country and some have esta- blished special departments just for his designs. Creates for Young Market Smith creates for the young market (college girl, career girl) and said nothing retails beyond $100. His \contempora- ry\ clothes, simple of line and without a lot of geegaws, are aimed at all; he finds many black consumers who appre- ciate the use of color and sophisticated approach. Smith said the industry is beginning to understand that the Negro has a contribution to make both as desxgner and consumer. « Take the. sense of color. \\Last year, \ the dmlgner said, \we heard 'this is Europe' when they talked of bright colors in the industry. Well, you could have seen them anywhere earlier in the black community. It filters down.\ Smith ° did pastels-pinks, blues and occasional yellows- for his summer line and said Stan Kubatek's \The fashion Fashion Prevlew T akes io ptc BUSY WEEK - Senior Citizens of Western Orleans are counting the days and making their efforts count In plan- ning for Saturday's style show to be held at Apple 'Grove Inn.

Smith has reached the stage where he now can have fabrics designed exclusively for his collection. One for fall will be a print in pastels on a dark background-Smith's signature, his circle-shaped glass lenses. The designer gives a lot of credit for keeping up with contemporary moods through his sister, Doris \Tookie\, 19, a model and salesgirl in the firm and a student also at the Fashion Institute of Technolo- gy. The Smiths are the children of a wrought iron engineer in Philadelphia and the designer said their fashion interest came from their mother and grand- mother, both with excellent clothes taste.

Rescue workers also found 12 more bodies, some slumped over tables with their coffee cups half full, to bring the death toll to 47. After the discovery of Tom Wilkinson and Ron Flory on the 4,800-foot level of the mine, the search for the 44 men still missing was temporarily sus- pended. \We're not going to do anything during the night,\ said U.S. Bureair of Mines Director Elbert Osborn. \Where we want to go is the deeper levels. That's got to be where they are.\ Wilkinson and Flory, both 29, had heavy beards and were caked in dirt and dried sweat when they staggered into the. arms of their wives and relatives at the mine entrance. Both were in good condition.

They drank water from an air conditioning water pipe. They flashed on-and-off the headlights of a battery-operated mine car when they heard the rescuers. |_ Wilkinson sald they \laid around a (lot\ to conserve energy and \talked and prayed\ to pass the long, anxious hours. Flory found a coil of blasting wire and \did a - lot of square braiding.\ The two men said they'd worked together for a year and a half and were able to \settle each other down\ during periods of tension and depres- sion as they waited a full week for rescue. . Different Answers _ Asked if they'd return to their mining jobs, the survivors | gave different answers. «\No not if I have anything to say about it,\ said Flory. \If I can find any other work, I'm not going down there again.\ \I don't know, I might,\ said - Wilkinson. Their wives, Frances Wilkin- | son and Myrna Flory, hugged each other and shouted, can’t believe it-it can't be true,\ when they were in- formed théir husbands were | alive. . Rescuers brought the two survivors from the 4,800-foot level one at a time on a tiny yellow capsule hauled up a ventilation shaft. Osborn said the capsule, rescuers to the mine's lower levels for the first time a full _ week after the fire broke out, was \inadequate'' and would not be used as the hunt moved to lower levels. The mine's deepest tunnels are 5,200 feet o underground. He said Sunshine Mining Co. officials hoped to have the 36- man No. 10 hoist in operation sometime today.
