BROOKLYN EAGLE, TUES DEC. 23, H54 3 Of All Things Fabulous TASK FINISHED, By LESLIE HANSCOM L. I. TRANSIT AUTHORITY SAYS i ffi Dll i The Long Island Transit Au-: thority reported to Governor i HALF-YEARLY CLEARANCE Dewey today that it had ac complished its mission of re 4 organizing the Long Island Rail Road and would gladly go out I A of existence, except for pending: law suits filed by New York1 City. The city has filed actions in three couils seeking: to decline unconstitutional the law enabling the Long Island to reorganl.e; to reverse an order terminating bankruptcy proceeding against the line, and to knock out a certificate of approval by the J'KC permitting the line to become a railroad redevelopment corporation.

Under th reorganization plan, which went into effect last August, ths city stands to lose almost $2,000,000 a year in taxes, Th report, signed by authority members George K. Roose-elt, chairman, and Tracy Voorhees, warned that if the city is successful in its suits, it would "cripple the new car purchase and rehabilitation programs with no reduction, and BABES IN WONDERLAND Mrs. Stanley Disney and her nine adopted children wave greetings as they arrive on liner America.

with its stained glass peacocks and carved dragons looks from the outside like the pleasure dome of Kubla Khan. Inside, it has much the same atmosphere as a capsizing ferryboat. Every woman seems to be born with a built-in antenna which automatically picks up the beam of a bargain sale. Every woman consequently seems to know about Loehmann's, although I can't otherwise explain it. Without the lure of advertising, they invade the place daily in ravening hordes to peel nonchalantly before a gallery of gaping husbands and do battle for the prizes hidden away among the dress racks.

The legendary lady who runs this off-beat establishment does not care for newspaper reporters, and the only way I got to see its fabulous interior was to enter in another role that of a patient husband. MALKS ARK RIGIDLY SEGREGATED at Loehmann's and there are only certain areas In which they rt permitted to tread. One of these, for reasons I can't fathom, i the broad stair landing between the dress itore'g twa floors. I'erhns Mis.

Anyway, the stair landing is the best aeat in the house anil I enjoyed it very much. Krom this vantage point, you had only to gaze down the broad between two pillars supported by stone lions, to witness a scene 1 am sure could be duplicated only at a WAC reception center. In a small arena walled by dress racks, a battalion of frenzied females was stripping off its outer garment! and mounting an assault wave on Mrs. Loehmann's wares. Rome of the women were practically stripping one another.

A few of the lady shoppers, to the special satisfaction the spectator' gallery, were wearing two-piece affair? and I even caught a couple of glimpses of black lace. Sirit IS LIKE, IIOW'KVKK. thdl a scene like this quickly palls. Most of the males seemed to he giving their attention, after the first few minutes, in the store's decor which I shall try to describe. Over the heads of the husbands, a I hey guarded their wives' pockethooks and brooded on what was happening to their own, was a low chandelier whose central figure was a lady wearing much less than the ladies below.

Two walls of the landing were covered with enormous tapestries, one depicting a pair of lovers named Myrtis and Apelk ami the other showing a young man being bucked up by his Iricnds for some ordeal that was not made clear. One of the hu.diamls sat on a tall throne upholstered in red vchet and three mine waited on a settee under a carved canopy of the kind you usually see over a bishop's chair except that this one sported a gilt cupid. "Look at the men having a wonderful time ogling," giggled a lady shopper to her companion as she climbed the stairs. "Are you kidding, said a dour male, "the best sight on the floor is that sign that says $9.98." IT THE STAIRS crept an elderly, white-haired woman clad in hlack and clutching a pockctbook. She paused on the stairs a feu- minutes, surveying the mad scene below, then proceeded up to the higher-priced floor.

"Mrs. Loehmaun," explained one man in an awed whisper, and the husbands renewed their speculation as to how "the old lady docs it" and what was the story behind the fabulous store and its bargains. "Look at the women who come in here," observed one man, noting (bat the customers who climbed the stairs ranged all the way from "slobs with their hair in curlers" to women joii would expert to see shopping at Hattle Carnegie's. He said he heard mention, in points as far distant as Miami and Chicago, of Loehmann's and its cash cage which is guarded hy two giant carved griffons at either nd, armed with battlcaxiv.
