Sustained drum rolls, accompanied by trumpet calls, will introduce three orchestral excerpts that form the “Fairy Tale Sketches for Orchestra” which will open the program.

French Students to Hear Parisian Authoress Today
A leading Parisian literary figure.* Duchesse de la Rochefoucauld, will address French students at 10 a.m. today in 145 Hancock.
The duchesse is a descendant of a family which has been prominent in French letters for many centuries. She has written 13 books and is hostess of the Paris literary salon.
In addition to her literary activities, the duchesse is president of the French Women’s National Union, which was instrumental in gaing suffrage for French women following the liberation in 1944.
EXPRESSES VIEWS She expressed the view that American women should exert a greater influence in national and local politics because “they have the freedom and right to act in the same manner as American men.
“Today there are 50 women in our two Houses of Parliament, and many women judges have been elected to office in the last five years,” she said.

The Chinese Communists are not nearly as well consolidated.” Speaking at a Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce luncheon Monday, Senator Knowland added that the Nationalists have a good chance of holding out in Formosa until the time comes when they can strike back.
VISITED ORIENT The Republican senator will speak at 3:15 tomorrow in Hancock auditorium on “The American Policy in China.” Senator Knowland recently returned from a month-long visit to the Orient.
An outspoken critic of the administration’s policy in China. Senator Knowland has frequently attacked the State department’s handling of affairs in China. On his arrival in the U.S. last Thursday he called for the ouster of the men in the Far East division of the State department, responsible for the present policy.
Senator Knowland was bom in Alameda, Calif., in 1908. ?
PRIVATE TO MAJOR At the time of his induction into the Army in 1942, he was assistant publisher of the Oakland Tribune. He served in the Army in the ETO and rose from private to major. While in service overseas he was appointed U.S. senator to fill the unexpired term of Hiram W. Johnson, deceased.
Tlie senator is a member of two Congressional committees — the Senate Committee oh Armer Services, and the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy.
His speech will be sponsored by the ASSC Forum committee.

| law in the School of Law. He was on the judicial staff in the Nuremberg trials. He also had been with the Justice department for three years.
INSIDE TRACK
The dispatch, quoting considerable speculation in the nation’s capital, said that by a process of elimination Dean has the inside track.
Sheldon D. Elliott, dean of the School of Law, who has been in close contact with Professor Dean, was unable to shed any light on the rumor yesterday.
“My correspondence with him has been purely personal, and I have no inkling as to the truth of such a rumor,” he said.
A call to the United Press revealed that they had not heard of the rumor.
BEST CHANCE According to the dispatch, “the best guess seems to be that someone chosen from the present five-man commission would have the best chance of getting confirmation without a Senate fight, and would also be best able to calm the tensions on the commission and between tthe commission and the nation's scientists.”
The article continued by saying that the fact that Dean was a Democrat and a former law partner of Sen. Brien McMahon, D., Conn., chairman of the joint Senate-House committee on atomic energy, would probably do him no harm.
“In addition, the other four members all have one or more strikes against them. The vice-chairman, Sumner Pike, is a Republican, and while the commission is hardly a partisan group, it is difficult to imagine the President appointing him as a head.”
TWO ELIMINATED Elimination of Lewis Strauss, another member of the commission, as a possible chairman seems to be assured, because of his criticisms of

Lilienthal during the Hickenlooper investigation? according to the dispatch. This criticism was regarded as unfair by many.
“It seems likely, now that Lilienthal has bowed to the twin pressures of the military, demanding more security, and the scientists, demanding less, that Strauss, as his principle antagonist within the commission, may resign too, in the interest of atomic harmony.
SMYTHE OPPOSED
“That would leave available for the chairmanship only Dean and Edward Smythe, author of the celebrated report on atomic energy published after the Hiroshima blast. While Smythe is a possibility for the job, it is doubtful if his confirmation could be secured without a fight, since his natural inclinations on secrecy seem to lie in the direction of more freedom rather than less,” the dispatch said.
“This process of elimination leaves Dean, the Californian, as the man most likely to take over direction of the nation’s atomic program at its most crucial time,” tihe article concluded.

He came to SC in 1930 after teaching at Swathmore college, Pennsylvania, and the University of California.
His popularity at SC was proven in a poll taken in 1943 when he was vcted the man who should “teach all he classes in the university.” A sense of humor, a knack for bringing literature to life, and a personal approach to past writers has made him one of .the best-liked professors on campus.

An experiment conducted at the University of California'proved that grape plants ingested twice as much phosphate fertilizer when it was mixed in the soil than when it was placed on the surface only.
BENEFIT FARMERS
He said that radioactive fertilizers have also benefited the farmer by telling him when, where, and in what amounts fertilizers should be placed around plants for best results.
Experiments with radioactive fertilizers also proved that potatoes need fertilizer all during their growth period, but corn, tobacco, and cotton need phosphates only during their early growth.
TRACE ELEMENTS
Radioactive isotopes have also played a role in preventing plant and animal diseases. They have been used to trace deficiencies of molybdenum and cobalt in soil. Lack of these trace elements, as they are called, affect both plants and animals, Gotlieb said.
He said that the use of radioactive copper proved that cattle are unable to make use of phosphorous, essential for healthy bone structures, if they were lacking in copper.

the opera “Albert Herring.” scheduled for its last SC performance tomorrow night at 8:30 in Bovard, seems never to be satisfied with his own performances.

Speaking of the opera, Martin said that the music by Benjamin Britten is extremely brilliant.
“It is very cleverly and artistically put together,” he said. “If the orchestra carefully follows the details of the music laid down by the composer, the expression of the music is automatically attained.

The opera is very unusual according to Martin in that the orchestra is soloistic. Instead of each player performing as a member of a large unit, he plays his own part. ‘Instead of resulting in chaos.” said Martin, “some beautiful arrangements are achieved.”
The opera’s s|*>ry concerns a village in which a maiden whose shasti,y is unquestioned is to be crowned Queen of May. In oxford, where the story takes p :'.ce, there is only one person who an qualify—a man.
