In Filibuster
WASHINGTON --(P)-Southern
Democrats tonight claimed a
whopping majority to beat down
an expected Administration-
backed attempt to choke off their
five-day-old filibuster in the Sen-
ate.
Senator Russell (De., Ga.)
told a reporter that a private poll
taken by the Southerners indi-
cates they have 58 votes.
ALL THEY NEED is 49 votes, a
simple majority, to override an
expected ruling by Vice-President
Barkley in favor of ending the
debate quickly.
"We have enough votes to de-
feat the effort to break the fili-
buster against this proposed
rules change," Russell said at a
late hour.
An Associated Press survey
showed the Southern bloc gaining
support, but less heavily than Rus-
sell claimed.
The score Thursday was 38 to
17. Yesterday it stood: 42 to 18.

Round-Up
By The Associated Press
LONDON - The Moscow radio
said tonight Russia wants
peace and "unswervingly conducts
a policy of cooperation among all
democratic countries, regardless
of their internal social system."
The broadcast, which was in
English, was heard here. The
Soviet radio monitor said it came
just before the announcement of
the change of Russia's foreign
minister.
WASHINGTON - Ign o ring
angry Republican cries of "high
handed" action, the Democratic
majority today rammed the
Truman labor bill through the
Senate Labor Committee with-
out changing a word. The vote
was 8 to 5 on party lines.
WASHINGTON - The House
Banking Committee today ap-
proved a compromise bill to con-
tinue rent controls another 15
months and give the government
power to prevent any mass evic-

Union Holds Annual)
Open House
Todayj
By GEORGE WALKER
The welcome mat is out today where coeds fear to tread.
Students and townspeople of both sexes will stream through the
front doors of the Michigan Union to witness today's traditional
Union Open House.
AND FOR THE THOUSANDS expected to attend the affair,
there'll be a wide variety of entertainment ranging from ping-pong
and billiard and bowling demonstrations to a water ballet and a
Westinghouse lighting demonstration.
The annual event will be launched with a mock fire demon-
stration at 1 p.m. Ann Arbor's fire department will extinguish
a "fire" centered in the Union O
tower.
Then, at 1:30 p.m., spectators
will gather in the main ballroom
where top Westinghouse scientists
will demonstrate "Planned Light-
ing for Greater See-ability." An-
other presentation of the show is
scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
ALFRED PAULUS, Westing-
house lighting engineer, will dem-
onstrate some of the most recent
wonders in the field of lighting.
Paulus has worked on such enor-
mous lighting projects as the Chi-
cago World's Fair and the Statue
of Liberty.
Meanwhile, for those less sci-
entifically inclined, there'll be
a pool and billiard exhibition in
the Billiard Room, put on by
the cream of campus experts.
NCAA hockey movies of Mich-
igan's pucksters beating Dart-
mouth will be shown at 1:30 p.m.
also. Another show is planned for
2:30 p.m.

from 2 to 5 p.m.
ALL OFFICES and the Union
tower will be open to visitors
throughout the afternoon.
"This is by far the most spec-
tacular Open House in Union his-
tory," said Dale Coenen, Union
Publicity Manager. "It is an ex-
cellent opportunity to have an af-
ternoon of fun, and at the same
time inspect the Union and its fa-
cilities at close range."

Fire of undiscovered origin de-
stroyed two units of the Enfield
Court Willow Village student resi-
dences yesterday, causing enough
damage to leave Charles Schieb,

The units will be boarded up be-
cause it costs more to repair them
than they are worth, according to
the Ypsilanti Fire Department.

By MERLE LE'VIN
(Special to The Daily)
LAFAYETTE, Inca. - Showing
tremendous strength in the divi
ng department and picking up
inexpected points in two other
events, Ohio State swept into a
,ommanding lead in its bid to re-
tain the Western Conference swim
rown here last night.
The Buckeyes swept the first
our places in the low board dive
.o pile uip 15 points in this event
done and gain a 41-31 lead over
Vlichigan's defending champions.
IOWA WAS A close third with
25 points while Purdue and North-
western picked uip 18 and ten
points respectively to round out
the scoring.
Michigan's Dick Weinberg
sent the Wolverines off to a
flying start as he dumped de-
fending champion Keith Carter
of Purdue in the 50 yard free
style.
Weinberg, who in the after-
noon's semi-final heats had tied
the Western Conference record in
the dash with a 23.1 timing,
grabbed the lead from Carter in
the last 25 yards to come home
in a comparatively slow 23.4 sec-
onds.
BUT THE WOLVERINE lead
was sliced badly as Bob DeGroot
and Ralph Knight took an ex-
pected one-two in the backstroke
while favored Duane Draves of
Iowa could do no better than
third.
Bernie Kahn was Michigan's
only qualifier for this event but
he faded in the last 25 yards
and finished sixth.
Two new records were set as
the Buckeyes piled up their ten
point margin but the Ohioans had
no part in either record. Appro-
priately enough however it was an

House Told
To Cut Talk
On Spy Bill
WASHINGTON - OP) - The
House Rules Committee was urg-
ed yesterday to hold talk down to
a minimum when the House takes
up a mysterious American spy bill
which one member said involves
somewhat "dirty business."
Among other things, the mea-
sure permits the highly secret
Central Intelligence Agency to of-
fer sanctuary in this country to
foreigners who may risk death to
aid our agents. Up to 100 a year
would be allowed to enter each
year without regard to immigra-
tion laws.
THE CIA ALSO could train its
agents in public or private insti-
tutions here or abroad, and ar-
range for their training by various
associations, business firm, or the
armed services.
Members of the Armed Ser-
vices Committee went before
the House Rules Committee to
seek clearance for the bill under
y procedure calling for only min-
imum discussion.
Majority leader McCormack (D-
Mass.) later told the House that
it may be called up Monday
under rules suspension preventing
amendments and limiting debate
to 40 minutes.
Vishinsky Named
As Successor in
Ministerial Job
Foreign Trade Minister Mikoyan
Also enoved in Russian Shake-up
LONDON--(/P)-Vyacheslav M. Molotov, the man who many
thought might replace Josef Stalin as ruler of Russia's millions, last
night was released from his post as Foreign Minister and replaced by
the fiery Soviet lawyer, Andrei Y. Vishinsky, the Moscow radio said.
A brief announcement, released by the Soviet monitor in London,
said only that Molotov has been released "from the duties of Minister
of Foreign Affairs."
VISHINSKY recently returned to Moscow after treatment for
what was described as a serious illness. He had been treated in Czecho-
Alovakia.
Molotov, foreign minister of
the Soviet Union since 1939,
was known the world -over as
the number two man to Stalin
in the Russian hierarchy. For-
eign observers who worked in
Russiaseemed agreed that he
eventually would rise to the
forefront as top man in the
U.S.S.R.
Vishinsky, the man who has
taken his place, gained interna-
tional renown as one of the most
vitriolic orators ever to take part
in United Nations debates. He first
won fame as a prosecutor in the
pre-war Soviet purge trials.
S * 4
THE TEXT of the Russian
broadcast as transcribed by the
Soviet monitor said.
"The Presidium of the Su-
preme Soviet has released the
Deputy Chairman of the Coun-
cil of Foreign Ministers of the
U.S.S.R., Comrade V. M. Molo-
tov, from the duties of Minister
of Foreign Affairs of the
U.S.S.R. and has appointed A.
Y. Vishinsky Foreign Minister of
the U.S.S.R.
"The Presidium of the Supreme
Soviet has released the Deputy
Chairman of the Council of the
Minister of the U.S.S.R., A. I. Mi-
koyan, from the post of Minister
of Foreign Trade and has appoint-
ed M. A. Menshikov in his place."
THE SUDDEN announcement
of the major shake-up in Russia's
high command struck foreign dip-
lomatic circles like a bolt. In some
quarters, such as the UN in the
United States itself, delegates were
astounded by the news. In the
noisy corridors of Lake Success
foreign representatives huddled
and wondered what it meant.
Diplomatic circles in London,
stunned by the news, speculated
as to whether the promotion of
Vishinsky might have some con-
nection with the current move
by Western nations to formulate
a North Atlantic defense pact.
And while they were speculating
on this, they also were trying to
figure out the significance of the
switch which found Menshikov,
formerly Vice-Minister of Foreign
Trade, taking over the post of his
boss, Mikoyan.
A BIG QUESTION was what
will happen to Molotov now. No
one knew, from the terse Moscow
radio announcement, whether he
had been given another job. All
that was known was that no men-
tion was made of Molotov's sec-
ond post, that of Deputy Premier.
Some quarters believed it possi-
ble that releasing him from his
Foreign Ministry duties might be
tantamount to his appointment
by the 14-man Politburo to an
even greater responsibility.

Churchmen
SOFIA, Bulgaria -(P) -Com-
munist prosecutors demanded to-
day that four Bulgarian Protest-
ant ministers be hanged as trait-
ors and that heavy prison sen-
tences be imposed upon 11 others.
The trial of the 15 on chargeq of
treason and spying for the Unit-
ed States and Britain neared its
final stage in Sofia's district court.
The prosecution declared the min-
isters were servants of "Anglo-
American imperialism and the
Western church mission boards."
WESTERN capitalism and
American chtrch missions also
were attacked in defense summa-
tions. The defense lawyers, ask-
ing mercy for the group, said the
ministers were "the poor, unfor-
tunate victims" of Western Edu-
cation and that the lure of West-
ern gold had made them the tools
of American Anti-Communist
propaganda and espionage.
Bulgaria's supreme prosecutor,
Moscow-trained Dimiter Geor-
giev, called for the death of the
four defendants who were mem-
bers of the council of the United
Evangelical Churches of Bul-
garia :
The Rev. Vassil Ziapkov, 48,
Congregationalist.
The Rev. Yanko Ivanov, 48,
