Wanna Look Like Churchill? $4.00 Is All You Need NEW YORK (f) For the modest expenditure of $4 you can look almost like a prime minister. That Is.

if you're a New York City air warden and elect to spend that much for a newly designed uniform similar to the famous "siren suit" worn by Winston Churchill on his visit to this country last year. Coveralls of navy blue twill as standard attire for male wardens were announced by Mayor F. H. La-Guardia. and despite their price the New York uniforms go the prime minister one better: Whereas Churchill's featured no military motif, these boast orange-colored belts and epaulets.

Although he emphasized that the purchase of the uniforms was optional, the mayor urged all wardens so outfit themselves If possible. Uniforms for women wardens, he said, would be available later. Standard apparel for every one of the city's nearly 300,000 wardens is the mayor's goal. For another half dollar a warden can get an overseas cap, also In navy blue and decorated with orange piping.
