Communists in Few Days Left
As French Poll To Get Tickets Results Tallied
Right Wingers Also Gain as Bidault’s MRP Takes Beating
PARIS. Monday, Nov. 11—<U.P)— The communists replaced Premier Georges Bidault's popular Republican movement (MRP) as France’s leading party in yesterday’s national elections, incomplete but apparently decisive returns throughout the the country showed today.
With more than half the votes counted, the communists led the MRP by nearly 550.000 votes and the third-place Socialists by 1,100,-000.
The greatest upset in the elections for France’s national assembly, however, was scored by the right-wing Republican Party of Liberty, which was running just behind the Socialists.
With 9,659.087 votes counted, the results were:
Communists 2,810,172, or 29.09 per cent.
MRP 2,270.000, or 23.5 per cent. Socialists 1,716,514. or 17.7 per cent. PRL 1,519,547, or 15.7 per cent.
Left Republican Union, including Eduoard Her riot’s Radical Socialist party, 1,061,282. or 10.98 per cent.
Minor parties, 281,572, or 3.03 per cent.
Communist deputy Florimond Bonte hailed the victory as “uniting the people for the reconstruction of France” and said the Communist party “is ready to assume all its responsibilities."
A total of 618 deputies were elected to the first national assembly of the Fourth Republic from 3200 candidates in metropolitan France and the empire overseas. This was 32 more than the number in the outgoing chamber of deputies.

Soft Lights, Music Ready For Hay Hop
Soft-colored lights, soft music, and a hay stack will transform the men’s gymnasium into a glorified barn Friday evening at 8:30 for the Hay Mow Hop, which promises to be one of the most colorful dances of the season.
Decorating dreams are fast becoming a reality as scarecrows, corn shucks, crepe paper, and ten bales of hay are being hauled in for this strictly hayseed stomp.
The hay, surrounded by a white picket fence, will occupy the center of the floor for rural minded digsters who would rather loll in the fodder than occupy chairs between dances.
Shirley Goedike's orchestra will provide music of the sweet and swing varieties, and Marjorie Main, rip-roarin’ cowgirl of the screen, will award engraved trophies, donated by Phelps-Terkel and the Wagonwheel, to jive contest winners.
“One ol the highlights of the evening will be when dancers scramble for 700 balloons, two of them containing credit cards from Silverwoods,” stated Carol Crouch, in charge of preparations.
Students who are working on the decorating committee include Al Reid, Betty Baum, Selma Nelson, Reid Hughes, Janice Howland. Dorothy Hulse, Connie Hug, Evelyn Ip-zen and Dale Evans.
Bids for the dance, priced at $1.20. will be on sale today in the Student Union.
College Groups Plan Vets' Aid
Christmas packages containing smoking equipment will go to the domiciliary wards of the Sawtelle Veterans’ hospital from the college units of the American Red Cross this year.
Margaret Crawford, chairman of the SC drive, explained that “articles such as pipes, cartons of cigarettes, cigarette lighters, or anything not exceeding $2.50 will De the nature of the gifts donated by students.”
The annual Christmas drive will begin today and extend until Nov.
AH members of the Red Cross board of directors are asked to contact Meg Crawford or Alice Lippiatt immediately at the Tri-Delt house, PRospect "9415, for final instructions on the Christmas drive for veterans.
economy tomorrow but amid prospects that President Truman's general decontrol order may bring a wave of strikes that will.produce a deadlock between him and the new Republican congress.
The president returned wages, hours and prices to a free collective bargaining basis Saturday midnight when he abolished nearly all war-bom wage and price curbs. He retained only his war-time power to seize properties to end labor disputes and controls over rents, sugar and rice.
SHARP RISE
Spokesmen for all segments of labor and many government economists said tonight that the first result will be a sharp rise in prices. This, they said, may bring increased pressure for wage raises and another rounds of strikes to obtain them if industry rejected the unions’ demands.
The biggest immediate trouble spots, they predicted, will be in soft coal mining and building construction trades, both dominated by American Federation of Labor unions. But the worst is feared when the big CIO unions in the basic industries of steel, rubber, oil, meat packing, electrical manufacturing.
CLARICE THURMAN . . . her issue out
29. Members of sororities, fraternities, campus organizations, and independent students are invited to contribute gifts.
Persons giving presents should wrap the gift, and if a member oi a sorority, fraternity, or dormitory, include a card, which will be supplied by the Red Cross board of directors.
Presents should then be left at the living quarter, to be picked up later by a Red Cross representative.
GIFT BOXES PROVIDED
Persons affiliated with a campus organization such as the Y cr Phrateres should leave their gifts in the box in 226 Student Union, while independent students may place their contributions in either 226 Student Union or the Red Cross box at the main desk in the University library.
“Persons not living in a dormitory, sorority, or fraternity house need not bother with including a card,” Miss Crawford said. “for they will be supplied later. All persons, however, must include somewhere on the gift, a slip of paper identifying the contents of the package, otherwise, the presents will have to be opened before being delivered to the veterans."
•‘SC has been given a quota of 450 gifts.” Miss Crawford added, “and we hope that with the cooperation of all students on campus we will go far beyond this number and bring remembrance to many veterans who might otherwise be forgotten."

CONGRESSIONAL TROUBLE
Trouble between the president and the new GOP congress may come if open and disastrous indus-i trial warfare develops. Truman asked the election-conscious 79th congress for strike curbs but was turned down. Now that the Republicans are taking over, some observers believe he will maintain a hands off policy and allow the GOP to solve any labor-management muddle without his help.
He may have given a clue to his plans in his decontrol order when, without mentioning congress, he placed full responsibility for avoiding strikes on labor and management.
Another question is whether Truman would now be receptive to bills imposing labor curbs. If he vetoed any such measures, and the Democratic minority voted to support his stand, the Republicans could not muster enough votes to override.
Tickets will go on sale today in the arcade of Bovard auditorium at $1 for any seat. It will be a case of first come, first seated. Tickets will not be limited to students but will be available to ail persons desiring to attend.
Although the Philharmonic opens its current Los Angeles season Thursday night, the program for Saturday’s appearance will be entirely different, Mrs. Davis said.
The SC forum which recently has been re-organized was able to arrange this unusual event for the entire rniversity through the un tiring eflcrts of Mary Ellen Medler, head of the forum's executive committee, Dr. Max T. Krone, dean of the Institute of the Arts, and Mrs. Davis.
The program for the concert is not yet available but will be re leased tomorrow. Ticket sale will continue all week at the booth in the Bovard arcade.

Blaze Thrills Cal From Cal
‘•No excitement?" an Alpha Phi from Cal plaintively asked her Trojan sister at the SC chapter house.
Flames suddenly leaped about the small house in back of the chapter home of Alphi Phi, three fire engines screamed to the Row, and hundreds of 28th street denizens pressed into the sorority’s grounds. The Cal girl smiled a bit.
Fraternity men rushed from nowhere and bravely directed garden hoses on the mounting blaze. The cook rushed out of her warm-as-toast nest. Alpha Phis in pajamas and other nightly armor crowded the back porch. In the fore was the Cal girl, a winsome smile playing about her lips.
KUSC presents Mme. Alice Eblers, world-renowned harpsichord concert artist and Bach authority, in a recital of 8 movements from the “French Suite,” Bach, on the Hancock hour tonight from 7 to 8.
Every age has its own medium of artistic expression and as the piano stands for today's medium, so did the harpsichord for the 16th through the 18th centuries.
Mme. Ehlers, along with 20th century critics, agrees that dynamic effects of the later pianoforte to which we are accustomed do not belong to the master works of Johann Bach, originally written for the harpsichord.
In her quest to reproduce the great works of Bach in its orig'nal medium, the harpichord, Mme. Ehlers soon became a brilliant harpsichord and Bach authority. Explaining the harpsichord as a 2-keyboard and several register instrument, like the organ, she said the “difference" exists in the way the tone is produced.
“On the harpsichord the mechanism plucks the strings,” she ex-
plained, “and the vigor of the tone cannot be changed within one register and cannot be influenced by the touch of the player. This necessitates a clear building-up with contrast and clear phrasing.
Mme. Ehlers, beyond her instrumental accomplishments, has always wanted to become a singer. Her desire, however, to play master works on their original musical pieces has taken her throughout Europe and the world, giving her little time to perfect her foremost desire. Bom in Vienna. Austria, she has received her greatest ovations in England and Russia.
Selections on the Hancock hour will include 8 movements from the “French Suite.” Bach; Allemande. Courante. Sarabande. Govotte. Polonaise. Bourree. Menuet. and Gique; Air with Variations called "Harmonious Blacksmith.” Handel: “Pasana. The Earl of Salisbury" and “The Bells." William Bird; “Festival of the Guild of Minstrels,” Francois Couperin; and as a featured specialty. the Dahl and Bloch rendition of “Clarinet Sonata," Brahms.

Medical Aptitude Tests Terminated
Medical aptitude tests, previously required of all students entering SC's medical schools, have been discontinued by the American Medical association, according to Dr. Watt, of the testing bureau.
It is probable that a new test will be offered early next year, but students should not seek application until it is announced. The Daily Trojan will carry a notice of any developments of such testa
