Activities Galore Set for Weekend
Organized houses, Relays committee members, and visiting track teams are winding up preparations today and tomorrow for a busy KU Relays Friday and Saturday.

A color guard will lead the marchers followed by the University band. Three ROTC units, the Relays queen, Miss Carol Shellhas, and attendants, will come next, and the floats of organized houses and more bands will complete the parade.
The annual Engineering exposition Friday and Saturday will give visitors a chance to see 22 displays by KU engineers.
About 2,000 prep athletes will represent nearly 200 high schools in Friday's annual Kansas Intercolastic Relays. An estimated 1,000 collegians from nearly 70 universities, colleges, and junior colleges will enter the Relays at Memorial stadium Saturday.
All high school seniors in the state of Kansas will be invited to the University for the Jayhawk Jubilee from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday. Open houses will be held for parents and prospective students at this time.
Alpha Phi Omega, national Boy Scout fraternity, will swell the number of visitors to the campus by hosting from 300 to 500 Scouts Saturday.
Wes Santee's first-running of the Glenn Cunningham mile is expected to boost the estimated 15,000 to an even larger attendance.
A Relays dance, with music by Jim Sellard's band, starting at 9 p.m. Saturday in the Union ballroom, will conclude the Relay's activities.
French Given U.S. Planes
Hanoi, Indochina —(U.P.)— American cargo planes landed in Indochina today with war materials for the "fighting fools" of Dien Bien Phu, now coping with an ammunition shortage under heavy artillery fire from the Communists.
The two-engine C-47s arrived at Tourane air base, south of Hanoi, with American pilots at the controls. French bull's-eye markings were painted on the planes at Clark field in the Philippines.
The new planes were turned over to French Union forces for use by French pilots. The Americans will fly them on the next planes leaving Indochina.
Communist artillerymen began the 33rd day of their costly campaign to take Dien Bien Phu with a blistering barrage against the French garrison.
Hour after hour shells from 120- millimeter mortars and 105-millimeter howitzers hit the fortress's defense perimeter or exploded over trenches and earth-and-log bunkers.
But Dien Bien Phu's "fighting fools" were ordered to hold their fire to save precious shells, even though some of the Red artillery emplacements were only 1,500 yards away.
The hold-your-fire order was issued in anticipation of a mass assault by the Reds against the fortress.
The weather was good and French-piloted transports took off regularly from Red river delta airbases with food, ammunition and medicine for the garrison.
United Press correspondent Gene Symonds reported from Tourane that the pilots said they flew to Clark field from Korea and Japan under sealed orders and knew their destination only after they had taken off for Indochina. They will return to their outfits on the next planes leaving indochina on airlift duty.

--med up the farm bloc's dilemma. To vote against agriculture research funds, he said, would be like voting against a "resolution endorsing motherhood." But to increase the bill above administration requests, he declared, might give Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson ammunition "for his plan to lower price supports for farmers."

Pair of Comic Operas To Close Theatre Year

SPRING'S FOR REAL—Kathleen Cortner, fine arts sophomore, apparently has convinced herself that spring definitely has arrived, now that buds are budding, sap is sapping, and all that.

51st Year, No. 124
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Washington—(U.P.)—The House appeared ready today to set a precedent by voting more money for the Agriculture department than the administration asked or the appropriations committee recommended.
Rep. W. R. Poage (D-Tex.) summed up the farm bloc's dilemma. To vote against agriculture research funds, he said, would be like voting against a "resolution endorsing motherhood." But to increase the bill above administration requests, he declared, might give Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson ammunition "for his plan to lower price supports for farmers."
Up for a vote as the House resumed debate on the $698 million agriculture appropriations bill was a proposal to add another $2 million for farm research. The increase was tentatively approved Monday.
The moves to boost agriculture spending caught some farm state congressmen in a squeeze. Some were anxious to vote for the increased funds but others feared it would expose farmers to charges of being "grasping and selfish."
Other amendments were pending which would push still higher the money bill for the agriculture department for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
Mr. Benson, meanwhile, turned down a suggestion by Sen. Henry C. Dworshak (R-Idaho) that rigid and flexible price supports be combined to protect small farmers' incomes and curb over-production by large operators. He said the answer to the small farmer problem is larger operations and greater efficiency.
zanne." They will be presented at 8 p.m., May 11, 12, and 13 in Fraser theater.
"As You Like It" due to technical difficulties, Dr. John Newveld, University Theatre director said, has been postponed until March 1955, when it will be giver concurrently with the exhibition of Shakesperiana of the Folger Shakespeareian library in Washington, D.C.
The cast of Wolf-Ferrari's opera will be the same that appeared in the production last December in Kansas City in connection with the 20th anniversary of the Nelson Art gallery, Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice, and Miss Elizabeth Townsley, instructor of voice, will sing the roles of Count Gil and Suzanne respectively, and William Wilcox, fine arts special student, will play the part of Sante.
The four leads in "Don't We All" will be sung by Linda Stormont and Dale Moore, fine arts seniors; Sandra Keller, college sophomore, and William Wilcox.
Dean Thomas Gorton of the School of Fine Arts will be the musical director. Dr.Newfield, with the assistance of Charles Loyd Holt, assistant director of the University Theatre, will stage both works.
Dulles, French Confer on Geneva
Around the World-
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles opened talks with the French in Paris today on an agreement that would prevent the Geneva conference from becoming an "Oriental Munich."
Secretary Dulles' busy schedule for the day included conversations with Foreign Minister Georges Bidault, Premier Joseph Laniel and perhaps with Bao Dai, chief of state of the war-torn Indochinese state of Viet Nam.
But the spokesman said Mr. Dul-
A high French official said there was no danger of Mr. Bidault selling out Indochina to the Communists and that Kuwait had been betrayed at Munich.
This official said that as long as Mr. Bidault and other anti-Communist Frenchmen represented France that their country would not abandon Indochina on the field or at the conference table.

Elsewhere on the foreign scene: Hanoi — Communist - led Indochinese rebel artillerymen pummeled Dien Bien Phu with a heavy barrage of mortar and howitzer shells. Defenders of the fortress were so short of ammunition they were holding fire. But a new flight of American C-47 transport planes arrived in Indochina with loads of ammunition which was marked for Dien Bien Phu.
Moscow—Pravda accused the U.S. of trying to "blackmail" Britain into joining an anti-Communist Asian

Weather
Collision of a shallow layer of warm air from the south and a mass of cooler air bearing down from the
northwest is expected to provide southern K ansas with some severe th u n d e rstorms tonight. St a t e weatherman Tom Arnold said the m o s t intense storms likely will
be south of Dodge City and Hutchinson and southeastward f r o m Wichita. North of that area the thunderheads probably will be more scattered and less stormy, he predicted, adding, it's hard to say how much rain will be produced by the meeting of the warm and cool air.
