Attlee Endures Laborite Split LONDON. Apr. 24—(UP)—Labor's left wing rebels today promised at a secret party caucus not to wreck the government by voting against it and Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee prepared to try to ride out the biggest Laborite split in 20 years. The government survived its first House of Commons test in the crisis tonight when Conservatives announced they would support a bill to charge for false teeth and eyeglasses under the national health plan. Half Price It was the government's decision to charge half the cost of these items that exploded the long-smoul dering rebellion of its left wing. But the rebels did not challenge the measure tonight, and it passed through its second reading—the intermediate stage—without a vote. There may be a fight on it wrhen it comes to the final state. Attlee reshuffled his cabinet to replace the bolting rebels and hoped that by keeping their support on party issues to remain in office as long as next fall. New Secretaries Attlee selected Alfred Robens, parliamentary secretary for the Fuel and Power ministry, to be Labor Minister in place of Aneurin Bevan, whose resignation precipitated the crisis. Attorney General Sir Hartley Shawcross was named president of the board of trade to succeed Harold Wilson, who followed Bevan’s example. Another leftist joined the rebels when John Freeman resigned as parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Supply. But no important support developed for the rebels at a caucus of the Labor party members of Commons and both Bevan and Wilson promised they would not try to defeat the government by joining the Conservatives against it. WASHINGTON. Apr. 24— (UP)— The Senate today voted to con tinue the spectacular hearings of its Senate Crime ’Investigating committee for four months—until Sept 1—with Sen. Herbert R. O’Conor (D-Md.) as the new chairman After that the Senate Commerce committee, headed by Sen. Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo.) will be authorized to continue the unprecedented campaign against big-time gambling and gangsterism. The Senate voted a $100,000 fund for the new four-month investigation. Unanimous Action The Senate's unanimous action came after crime committee Democrats—at the insistence of the Senate Democratic Policy committee— withdrew their objections to an extension of the inquiry. Republicans had asked that the committee's life' be continued until Jan. 15, 1952, but they readily accepted the compromise date after the Democrats agreed to prolong the investigation. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), the soft-spoken chairman who has presided over months of drama filled televised hearings, agreed to continue as a committee member at the “insistence” of the Democratic Policy committee. There was no immediate an nouncement of what the new in vestigation will cover. Republicans who called for an extension of the Inquiry have urged investigations in Pittsburgh, Detroit, New Eng land, and Washington, D. C. Witnesses in Jail A number of witnesses, including Rocco Fischetti and Murray “the camel” Humphreys—reputed Capone gang leaders—are under arrest and may be questioned at the first of the new hearings which presumably will be televised. The group had originally been scheduled to wind up its work Mar 31 but wTas granted an extension until Apr. 30 to complete its report to the Senate. Republicans demanded its continuance to dig into prostitution, the narcotics traffic, and other aspects of crime not fully covered in earlier hearings, and to keep tne heat” on the underworld Joe Weinman, Trojan Chest chairman, announced two complete and two incomplete tabulations on money for the drive yesterday. He said that the money which has already been collected will take care of Troy Camp, and leave a little over for some of the other charities. Weinman said that class collections netted $1195, and specific events, excluding the Hollywood-SC ball game, the Squire bell-ringing contest, the junior class baseball throw, and “Mr. Trojanality' show, brought in 1903. Four hundred twenty-five dollars was collected from 4>5 of the 1500 faculty members, and $2191 has been col lected and deposited from eight of the 33 fraternities, and 15 of the 17 sororities. “Mr. Trojanality Goes to Paris’’ netted an estimated $1500 for its two performances, he said. To date, $7000 has been accounted for, $3000 short of the goal, but Weinman believes when the final tabs are in the Chest will be pretty close to the quota, The committee is waiting for response from campus organizations and the rest of the faculty before closing the books. UC dharity Ball To Swell Fund University College's Trojan Chest Charity ball will be held tonight at 8:30 in the student lounge. The dance, featuring the music of Dave ENuns and his Sportsmen, has been designated as UC’s contribution to the Trojan Chest drive. Admission is free, but a collection wiil be taken at the door. Fred Norris, ASUC president, said that although this dance is sponsored by UC, everyone is invited. The dance is jointly sponsored by the ASUC council and Omega Alpha Delta, UC social and service sorority, wiiich will provide the refreshments. Yell Leader Class Opens The newly-formed yell leader school opens tonight at 7, and John Chapman asks all applicants to attend the first session. Chapman announced yesterday afternoon that he had received 13 applications. Aspiring “holler guys” can file petitions until 5 p.m. today in the Knights office, 232 Student Union. Chapman said that the sohool will give the men training and prepara tion before they go before the se lections committee later in the sem ester. An applicant has to attend four of the five sessions, to be held tonight, tomorrow night, and May 1, 2, and 3. Assembly Votes In State Song SACREMENTO, APR. 24—(UP) —“I Love You California” was made the state song by the Legislature today. It was written by A. F. Frankenstein and B. F. Silverwood, both of LA. Mary Garden sang lt first in 1913. Approval of the song came when the Assembly passed a resolution by Sen. Jack B. Tenney, R., LA., 66-0. Noted Sculptor To Give Lecture “Creativity” will be the subject of a talk by Alexander Archipenko, internationally famed sculptor and teacher of abstract art, tonight at 8 in Hancock auditorium. Archipenko is giving a keynote lecture to start off a series of fine arts presentations in connection with the fourth annual Festival of Contemporary Arts. Bom in the Ukraine, Archipenko started art schools in Paris. Berlin, New7 York, Chicago, and Wood stock, N. Y. Receiving his prominence in France before World War I, his work has been added to many well known museums of the world. \ Famous on the West Coast and in the Bay area, he is now on a Southern California lecture tour, His deputation and past teaching have stimulated big audiences to hear his lectures. Archipenko introduced new aesthetic elements into sculpture such as the modeling of space concave and transparent. He pioneered the use of different materials such as carver plastic into the sculpturing field. The Festival of Contemporary Arts is presented each spring by the Institute of the Arts of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sci ences. | the amendments below will be voted on by students in the May elections: Changes Considered | 1. The secretary shall be eliminated as a voting member of the ! Senate. 2. All non-voting seats shall be eliminated, s 3. There shall be six officers of the Senate with no vote; three by right of their office and three appointed by the president with the approval of the Senate. 4. Senators at large would be assigned offices and hold office hours. 5. AWS elections should be held in the spring with the ASSC general elections. 6. Grade-point average requirement shall be 1.25 for all student body offices. Parrish Has Troubles Pinal points of election procedure will be ironed out after a report from Elections Commissioner Paul Parrish. Former reports from Parrish's committee have met with little success in he Senate because other senators show great delight in kicking this political football around. Investigation of Theta Nu Epsilon is continuing, although ASSC President Al Wiggins doesn't think much is being done in committee sessions. “Maybe the committee has gone underground too,” he chuckled yesterday. Wiggins isn’t a member of the investigating group, but presides at their meetings. Committee in Dark His statement yesterday came after a previous utterance that a news blackout was being placed on doings of the committee. The Publications committee will present recommendations on a new organizational set-up for the Board of Publications. Another report is due from the Rules committee. A resolution from the YWCA proposing continued cultural exchange with the University of Banares, India, will be introduced. SC’s introduction to this university wras made through the World Student Service fund, which was a part of the recent Trojan Chest drive. All money apportioned to WSSF is going to the Indian school. TROJANALITY MEETINC CALLED All members of the “Mr. Trojanality Goes to Paris” cast, including stage crew and musicians, are requested to meet at 3 tomorrow in the Cinema rehearsal room, producer Jack Colton announced.

Attlee Endures Laborite Split LONDON. Apr. 24—(UP)—Labor's left wing rebels today promised at a secret party caucus not to wreck the government by voting against it and Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee prepared to try to ride out the biggest Laborite split in 20 years. The government survived its first House of Commons test in the crisis tonight when Conservatives announced they would support a bill to charge for false teeth and eyeglasses under the national health plan. Half Price It was the government's decision to charge half the cost of these items that exploded the long-smoul dering rebellion of its left wing. But the rebels did not challenge the measure tonight, and it passed through its second reading—the intermediate stage—without a vote. There may be a fight on it wrhen it comes to the final state. Attlee reshuffled his cabinet to replace the bolting rebels and hoped that by keeping their support on party issues to remain in office as long as next fall. New Secretaries Attlee selected Alfred Robens, parliamentary secretary for the Fuel and Power ministry, to be Labor Minister in place of Aneurin Bevan, whose resignation precipitated the crisis. Attorney General Sir Hartley Shawcross was named president of the board of trade to succeed Harold Wilson, who followed Bevan’s example. Another leftist joined the rebels when John Freeman resigned as parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Supply. But no important support developed for the rebels at a caucus of the Labor party members of Commons and both Bevan and Wilson promised they would not try to defeat the government by joining the Conservatives against it. WASHINGTON. Apr. 24— (UP)— The Senate today voted to con tinue the spectacular hearings of its Senate Crime ’Investigating committee for four months—until Sept 1—with Sen. Herbert R. O’Conor (D-Md.) as the new chairman After that the Senate Commerce committee, headed by Sen. Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo.) will be authorized to continue the unprecedented campaign against big-time gambling and gangsterism. The Senate voted a $100,000 fund for the new four-month investigation. Unanimous Action The Senate's unanimous action came after crime committee Democrats—at the insistence of the Senate Democratic Policy committee— withdrew their objections to an extension of the inquiry. Republicans had asked that the committee's life' be continued until Jan. 15, 1952, but they readily accepted the compromise date after the Democrats agreed to prolong the investigation. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), the soft-spoken chairman who has presided over months of drama filled televised hearings, agreed to continue as a committee member at the “insistence” of the Democratic Policy committee. There was no immediate an nouncement of what the new in vestigation will cover. Republicans who called for an extension of the Inquiry have urged investigations in Pittsburgh, Detroit, New Eng land, and Washington, D. C. Witnesses in Jail A number of witnesses, including Rocco Fischetti and Murray “the camel” Humphreys—reputed Capone gang leaders—are under arrest and may be questioned at the first of the new hearings which presumably will be televised. The group had originally been scheduled to wind up its work Mar 31 but wTas granted an extension until Apr. 30 to complete its report to the Senate. Republicans demanded its continuance to dig into prostitution, the narcotics traffic, and other aspects of crime not fully covered in earlier hearings, and to keep tne heat” on the underworld Joe Weinman, Trojan Chest chairman, announced two complete and two incomplete tabulations on money for the drive yesterday. He said that the money which has already been collected will take care of Troy Camp, and leave a little over for some of the other charities. Weinman said that class collections netted $1195, and specific events, excluding the Hollywood-SC ball game, the Squire bell-ringing contest, the junior class baseball throw, and “Mr. Trojanality' show, brought in 1903. Four hundred twenty-five dollars was collected from 4>5 of the 1500 faculty members, and $2191 has been col lected and deposited from eight of the 33 fraternities, and 15 of the 17 sororities. “Mr. Trojanality Goes to Paris’’ netted an estimated $1500 for its two performances, he said. To date, $7000 has been accounted for, $3000 short of the goal, but Weinman believes when the final tabs are in the Chest will be pretty close to the quota, The committee is waiting for response from campus organizations and the rest of the faculty before closing the books.
