Doing their bit in the current GOP campaign to persuade the nation that Franklin Roosevelt is somehow to blame for local, municipal, county and State as well as Federal taxes, a young man and three professional women models appear in garments from which parts of sleeves, skirts, crowns and toes have been scissored...
