Garb Decree Sparks Public Debate In Frankfurt
In Frankfurt Germany an American colonel Col John H Dilley ordered women to dress modestly avoiding bare midriffs shorts Levi’s and halter tops while in public. The move drew global fan letters but only two harsh critiques with Dilley defending prestige and propriety for Americans in Germany. He supports winter wear of slacks for family shopping and insists on no fashion provocations despite the Bastille Day symbolism. He attended West Point class of 35 and remains unawarded for bravery.
