Fashion, hippos, and jokes from a lively era
A collage of lighthearted items begins with Elsa Schiaparelli advising men to wear bright jackets and bold shirts while avoiding shorts for business wear. At the Bronx Zoo, hippo Pete courts his mate Phoebe, and humor from Secretary Wilson about cars lightens the page. A Chicago startup aims at nondrinkers with low rates, while a Maryland tale recalls Billy the Navy goat and two students who shaved him in a bet, narrowly escaping jail.

Former President Harry S Truman kept newsmen guessing about whether he would honor a subpoena to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. He walked at dawn and joked with reporters while dodging hard questions about deputy Treasury official Harry Dexter White’s alleged communist ties and related charges. He warned against fake crusaders who distort history to distract from political failures and defended individual rights and tolerance.
