Jane Clifford, freshman vice president, and Angeloff will direct the program tonight. Starla Coffee and Wesley Gregory are in charge of the publicity for the program.

Reclamation Project Dying, Ingle Says
WASHINGTON —(UP)— California Democratic Representative Clair Engle said yesterday the Federal Recleamation Program needs revision or it will “die on the vine.”
Engle, chairman of the house interior committee, said most of the financially practical big projects are "completed, and it is time now to decide “where we go in the ’future.”
Speaking at a subcommittee meeting on reclamation problems. Engle said the reclamation bureau’s 600 “excellent engineers” are “sitting around idle,” and unless something is done soon the staff is going to “disintegrate.”
“You can’t have them sit around shuffling papers,” he said.
Engle said an “expansion and liberalization” of the laws are needed “if we are going to have a sound policy."
He suggested as possible revisions longer pay-out periods— perhaps 60 or 70 years—on projects. and government subsidies on projects.
Engle cautioned against waiting to write all policy changes into a single law, in which case he said, “Reclamation will die on the vine.”
“When we decide on one policy,” he said, “we ought to enact that and get it started, then move on to somethin*? else.”

Red Artillery Blasts Quemoy Nationalists
TAIPEI, FORMOSA — (UP) Communist Chinese heavy guns broke a four-day lull in the Formosa Strait fighting yesterday to pound the invasion-threatened Nationalist outpost of Qyemoy.
Quemoy is only four miles from the red-held port of Amoy, center of recent Communist troop movements of the Fukien coast of the mainland. It lies in a halfmoon of Communist-held islands opposite the Natioanlist bastion of Formosa. *
Yesterday’s artillery barrage against heavily-defended Quemoy may herald Communist preparations for an invasion of the island. The reds have shelled the island sporadically since last Sept. 3.
A terse National communique said that during a 46-minute bombardment, Communist guns on Lien Ho and Ta Teng Islands pounded Quemoy with 90 rounds of heavy artillery shells.
“Our batteries returned the fire and succeeded in silencing the enemy firing,” the communique said.
Quemoy is defended by some 40,000 of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek’s best troops. It also is well within range of fighters and fighter-bombers.

His final lecture will be next Friday at 8 p.m. in 129 FH on “A Consideration of Tubular Dysfunctions of Clinical Interest.”
The late Dr. Nathanson >vas a member of the SC medical school faculty from 1936 to 1952. The lecture series in honor of his memory was started last year.
Dr. Taggart won the Edward N. Gibbs memorial prize in 1952 from the New York Academy of Medicine for his research in renal physiology. From 1946 to 1952 he was a Welch Fellow in internal medicine for the National Research Council at Columbia University.
He has been on the Columbia faculty since 1946, and formerly taught at New York University tor six years.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17—(UP)— Irving Potash, one of the 11 members of the American Communist party “politburo” who were convicted of conspiracy in 1949. today was granted his wish to leave the United States and go to live in Communist Poland.
Potash, now 55, was released from the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., last December, and is now under another Smith Act indictment for membership in the Communist Party. He also is facing a deportation action growing out. of his conviction as a top leader of the party.

High School Men Here For Survey

LAS VEGAS—(UP)—With a “fair possibility” of favorable weather, the Atomic Energy Commission set in motion plans last night for a small atomic air burst at 7:30 this morning to open the 1955 nuclear test series at the Nevada proving grounds.
The bomb drop from an Air Force bomber is a substitute for the originally scheduled explosion of a “big one” atop a 500-foot steel tower, postponed four times because of adverse clouds and winds which AEC officials feared would channel a radio-active fall-out over ranching and min-I ing communities.
AEC officials said that the air-; drop was of a “less critical na-| ture” than the tower shot, which | was described as of “critical” force.
The AEC said the bomb drop over Yucca Flats would produce “no significant fall-out off site,” which meant that no harmful radiation was contemplated outside the 100-mile-long. 40-mile-wide gunnery range. The range limits are guarded by ground and air patrols.
Some 50 military planes, including the delivery aircraft, are scheduled to participate in the exercise, but the 1100 troops who had been geared to take part in the tower shot test will become merely observers in the substitute test.
