Under the new rules, when a flame touches the nightwear, the fire must be self-extinguishing and leave no charring more than seven inches from the point of contact. To demonstrate, Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans touched matches to flammable and nonflammable pajamas on dolls.

The wife of Hollywood Stunt Man Bob Morgan and mother of two boys, De Carlo, 48, is an exemplar of the John Wayne philosophy: go west and turn right. "The whole company kids me," she says.
