McCarran-Walter Act Revision Considered
Washington—(U.P.) A drive to revise the McCarran-Walter immigration act got underway in both houses of Congress today.
Three Republican senators and five House members announced that they intend to introduce legislation to revise the law along the lines suggested by President Dwight D. Eisenhower last year.
Other Congressional developments
Other congressional developments: McCarthy-Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R.-S.D.). temporary chairman of the Senate investigating committee, called the group into a closed session to decide upon the ground rules for its hearings on the fight between the Army and Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis). He said he also hopes to select additional staff members to aid special counsel Ray H. Jenkins.
Indochina—Sen. Lister Hill (D-Ala.) urged the Administration to spell out its Indochina policy so that Democrats and Republicans can unite to strengthen President Eisenhower's "hand and voice" in the crisis. He said the nation should be told everything "within the limits of security and prudence."
Communism—Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr., went before the House judiciary committee to explain the Administration's views on anti-Communist legislation. The committee is considering a number of proposals to outlaw the Communist party.
Price—Rep. Melvin Price (D-III.) accused President Eisenhower of "gross misrepresentation" and "pure nonsense" in criticizing Democratic foreign and military policies. He also said that Vice President Richard M. Nixon came close to slander when he implied in a recent speech that Democratic Secretaries of State were unwilling to "stand up" to the Communists.

Health—Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Dinn.) urged the Senate Labor and Public Welfare committee to back up his bill for voluntary health plans. His measure would grant low-interest loans to persons who form voluntary health organizations in areas devoid of adequate medical facilities.
Socialists Win Belgian Elections
Brussels, Belgium — (U.P.)—Belgian voters toppled the Social Christian party from its four-year majority rule today by giving Paul-Henri Spank's Socialists a commanding voice in the government.
Weary election officials announced shortly after noon (7 a.m. CST) thirte Catholic Social Christians, led by Premier Jean Van Houtte and Foreign Minister Paul Van Zeeland, lost 14 of the 108 seats they held in the 212-seat Chamber of Deputies. Nine went to Socialists. Belgium thus returned to the tradition of coalition governments it knew before and immediately after World War. II.
City Elections OK Cleaner Streams
The Kansas "clean streams" program received a big boost in Tuesday's municipal elections, says Dwight F. Metzler, chief engineer for the State Board of Health at the University.
Professor Metzler said at least four cities approved bond issues for sewage treatment facilities. The majorities were substantial enough to represent votes of confidence in the anti-pollution program, he commented.
The four were Manhattan, $360,-
Great Bend, $630,000; Beloit,
$197,000; and Osborne, $107,000.
In recent years since the State Board of Health has vigorously pushed anti-pollution measures, 128 cities have built new sewage treatment plants, he said.
According to experiments, bees recognize honey-yielding flowers first by color and secondly by scent.

Marilyn, Home Again, Returns to Work
Hollywood — (U.P.)— America's No. 1 glamour girl went back to work today.
Marilyn Monroe reported for work at 20th Century-Fox studios for the first time since she refused to appear in "Pink Tights" in January and eloped with Joe DiMaggio, former New York Yankee baseball star.
The agenda for Marilyn's first day back on the job called for rehearsal
of a new Irving Berlin musical,
"There's No Business Like Show
Business," in which she sings a song
written especially for her, "The Girl
on the Calendar."
The blonde star walked out on "Pink Tights" because she didn't like the script. She was immediately suspended by the studio, but reinstated again after her marriage to the Yankee Clipper in San Francisco a week or so later.
