Discrimination Clause A Threat to Labor Bill
Washington—(U.P.)—Chairman H. Alexander Smith of the Senate Labor committee said today moves to write an anti-discrimination clause into the Taft-Hartley law threaten the administration bill to revamp the act.
A Little Bit Of Everything In Animal Hut
By GRETCHEN GUINN
Chiggers, flies, lice, rodents, reptiles, and dogs may all be found in the animal house located behind the buildings and grounds garage.
By feeding colonies of human lice on rabbits, tularemia is studied. The route of the tularemic organism carried by such insects is traced in the lice.
The animal house is used by the entomology, physiology, and zoology departments for conducting experiments.
Another project is the study of insect resistance to DDT. This race against time is being carried on by observing the physiology and behavior of the insects so that eventually they may be prevented from building up resistance to insecticides.
Chiggers are being studied by the entomologists to discover if adult chiggers are useful in the soil, and if they are carriers of hemorrhagic fever. Korean chiggers are sent to the animal house for study, and then are sent to the Army Medical Graduate school in Washington, D.C.
The effects of high frequency radiation on rodents and chickens are studied by zoologists who observe the effect of radiation in the blood forming organs and in the proteins of other organs.
Native rodents are used for detailed study of embryology. Rodent behavior and the chemical composition of rodent blood in comparison to human blood are also observed to accumulate basic biological data to open new pathways for laboratory and clinical researchers.
TODAY
Few dogs have a special diet but those in the animal house do. These are being used by the physiology department to study hardening of the arteries.

- The New Jersey Republican said any real effort to push anti-discrimination amendments would touch off a filibuster by southern Senators. And that could spike the administration plans for revising the nation's basic labor law.
Anti - discrimination amendments were introduced separately yesterday by Sens. Herbert H. Lehman (D.-N.Y.) and Irving M. Ivens (R-N.Y.) as the Senate kicked off debate on the Taft-Hartley Revision bill. The proposals would make hiring discrimination on racial, religious or similar grounds an unfair labor practice.
Sen. Lehman made it clear he would press for action on his proposal if a Democratic-led attempt to send the administration revision bill back to Sen. Smith's committee fails.
Sen. Smith said such a move would mean a filibuster. He frankly conceded that the anti-discrimination proposals are the "most difficult" hurdle the revision bill must surmount. Chairman Smith said there was a chance enough Republicans would line up with Dixie Democrats in a showdown to defeat the amendments on grounds they should not be included in the revision bill.
But he said this course would be "very hard" and added that it was unlikely debate could be limited to defeat a filibuster.

Housing—Sen. Harry F. Dryd (D- Va.) said some of the "windfall" profits made by postwar apartment builders must have resulted from "collusion" between Federal Housing officials and builders. Sen. Byrd, who has been investigating the alleged housing scandals for a year, said he believes the Justice department will prosecute some of the builders and officials involved.

Faculty, Students To Perform In Comic Operas
Two comic operas will be given at 8 p.m. next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, in Fraser theater.
The first opera, "Don't We All," a musical farce by Burill Phillips, will be an all-student production starring Linda Stormont and Dale Moore, fine arts seniors, Sandra Keller, college sophomore, and William Wilcox, fine arts special student.
Based on a Burl Ives ballad, "Get Up and Bar the Door," the opera was first performed at the Eastman School Festival of Modern Music at Rochester, N.Y., in 1951, and received commendation in "The Musical Quarterly" a magazine for musicians.
The second opera, "The Secret of Suzanne," an intermezzo by Ermano Wolf-Ferrari, will cast Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice, and Elizabeth Townsley, instructor of voice, in the lead roles.
The scenery for the opera will be designed by Richard McGehee, college sophomore and technical assistant to the University Theatre.
"Don't We All," requires a small orchestra. Dr. John Newfield, University Theatre director said, "and much of the effectiveness of the opera is based on Phillips' witty orchestration." The University Little Symphony will provide the orchestration for both operas.
Gretta Reetz, fine arts junior will be stage manager for the operas.
EXPERT WATCH REPAIR
Scenery for "The Secret of Suzanne" will be designed by Raymond Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting.
Tickets for the two operas can be obtained now at the box office in Green hall.

Red Rebels Advance Near French Outpost
Hanoi, Indochina—(U.P.)—Shouting Red rebels drove to positions less than 500 yards from Brig. Gen. Christian De Castries' underground headquarters today and a second Communist force overran another strongpoint on Dien Bien Phu's western flank.
Claramae Turner, a young American contralto and featured performer for the Metropolitan opera, will present a recital at 8:20 p.m. today in Hoch auditorium.
The recital is presented in connection with the annual Music Festival of the School of Fine Arts and is the final performance of the University Concert courses. Students with ID cards will be admitted free.
Final Concert To Feature Contralto
Miss Turner began her career by joining the chorus of the San Francisco Opera company shortly after her graduation from a California high school. After two years in the chorus, she became a full-fledged star in leading contralto operatic roles and a radio performer as well.
With her West Coast reputation assured, Miss Turner moved eastward, and within two weeks was auditioned by the Metropolitan opera and by Gian-Carlo Menotti for the title role in his opera, "The Medium."
Meniotti selected Miss Turner for the role, and "The Medium" was a success. Miss Turner, however, withdrew from the opera when the Metropolitan offered her a contract, and has performed with that company ever since.
Miss Turner has performed with opera companies in Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Latin America as a guest artist, and has been heard in the great leading contralto roles of "Carmen," "Samson and Dellah," "Salome," and "Die Fledermaus." Her operatic repertoire includes almost 80 roles. Miss Turner has also been heard extensively on the concert stage.
A wide variety of selections will be featured on Miss Turner's program tonight, including folk songs, spirituals, lieder, and operatic compositions.
The massive new rebel assaults brought the Communists closer than ever to the nerve center operated by de Castries, hero and commander of the beleguered French Union bastion in Northwest Viet Nam.
The French promptly mustered reserves and mounted a counterattack, battling in slimy, knee-deep mud in an effort to regain the lost position.
French authorities did not pinpoint the Reds' latest success, but it was indicated that the Communists took the western outpost nicknamed "Huguette," the fourth to fall since Saturday.
The fanatical Indochinese Communists hit Dien Bien Phu's western flank after early mornrebel attacks on two eastern strongpoints failed.
A news blackout covered the rebel advance on de Castries' nerve center, but officials said the Communists were closer than the 500-yard point reached last Sunday in suicide assaults.
An announcement that the Red Indochinese delegation to the Geneva conference had passed through Moscow apparently triggered the assault.
The Reds swarmed out of the trenches with automatic rifles, bayonets and knives and struck at the eastern outposts of "Dominique" and "Eliane," but French machine gunners cut down the first waves.
Another force then attacked the western flank in a bone-chilling rain that prevented French planes from coming to the aid of Dien Bien Phu's defenders.
French authorities described the assaults as "massive."
New York City has almost 45,000 elevators, including 30,000 pasenger lifts.
