A chorus line of eightmen and five soloists from the all-male cast will present some of the highlights of the musical comedy, which opens here Dec. 10. Probably the things longest remembered by Opera audiences are its songs. Among the best CRONBACH ALSO SLA Fast To SpeT ' Gathering3 Controversial author, Howard Fast, will speak to a private meet- ing at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the Uni. tarian Church under the sponsor- ship of a group of interested stu- dents. Due to space limitations, no more than 100 people will be able to attend the meeting at the Church and admission will be by invitation prior to the meeting, Rev. Edward H. Redman an- nounced. He emphasized that if large numbers of uninvited per- sons show up, the talk would be cancelled. LAST WEEK the Young Pro- gressives had submitted a petition to hear Fast to Dean of Students Erich A. Walter. The petition was then turned over to the Lecture Committee according to regular procedure. However, the group was un- able to get permission for the author since the chairman of the Lecture Committee, Prof. James K. Pollock, chairman of the political science depart-. ment, is testifying before a Con- Judic Takes No Measures AgainstPerry No disciplinary action will be taken against Student Legislature member, Bob Perry, '53E, who vio- lated several dormitory house council rules in his successful campaign for SL, Men's Judici- ary Council president Joel Biller, '53L, announced last night. The Council ruled that "a can- didate for the Student Legislature' is not legally bound to obey the campaigning rules handed down by a dormitory house council un- less he happens to be a member of that house," Biller said. HOWEVER, the Judiciary also felt that "there is a moral obliga- tion upon a visitor to a housing, unit to conduct himself in accord with the rules of the unit," he said. The decision was announced after Biller had read Perry a copy of the letter describing the Cnuei'2ati+nnTlast ni p-h.4,4in... * * *1 known tunes from past Operas are "College Days," "Friars' Song" and "Drinking Song." Many professors and alumni still remember "When Night Falls Dear," from the first Union Opera, and "Michigan, Goodbye." And those who saw last year's Opera, "Never Too Late," will probably be humming for a long time to come the tunes of "Can't Imagine," and "Never Too Late." This year "No- Cover Charge" will present 18 new songs. Some -Courtesy Ann Arbor News * * * that will probably become popular among Opera fans are "The Illu- sion is You," "Why Can't I Kiss Her Goodnight?" and "You, Just You." All the songs for the musical were written by six University stu- dents composing the Opera niusic staff.

Originally planning to bring Fast here either In March or April, the political club moved up their request when it was learned that he would be in Detroit this weekend. THE SUBJECT of his talk is not definitely known, although in a letter to the YP he suggested that he would speak "on the over- all state of literature in America today and censorship as practiced in the publishing industry." The Young Progressives were also forced to cancel a meeting slated for last night at which Rabbi Abraham Cronbach was to have spoken, according to Marge Buckley, '53. The Rabbi wired that he would be unable to attend, Miss Buckley said. The club also had difficulty in finding a room for the meet- ing, she added. Rabbi Cronbach, author of "Re- ligion and Its Social Setting," is still expected to speak on "An Amateur Looks at the Talmud" at 8:15 p.m. today in the Hillel Foundation, under the auspices 61 Hillel. The Rabbi is a member of the Cincinnati University faculty. At 10 a.m. and again at 1:15 p.m. tomorrow, he will speak be- fore members of the Fellowship of Reconciliation at theiWesley Foundation on "Patriotism of Peace." Intern Tells Experiences The life of an. intern can be tough, but it can also be interest- ing, Dr. Alfred Joseph, intern at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, told a group of pre-medical students last night. Speaking on "Experiences as an Intern,"'Dr. Joseph gave the med- ical hopefuls a picture of the grad- uate's life during his first year in a hospital. One of the intern's chief dif- ficulties, the doctor said, is be- ing relegated to the status of a technician while the resident, or second year graduate, takes over the interesting, more educational work. But equally as bad, he pointed out, is the intern's being given too much responsibility, and having to make diagnoses for which he is not properly qualified. Dr. Joseph recommended that any student who could do so con- tinue working in a hospital as resi- dent after finishing his year of in- ternship. However the doctor pointed out that low salaries given to interns and residents often cre- ate a problem. Brandt Remains On Critical List Prof. Carl G. Brandt, chairman of the engineering English de- partment was reported last night to be improved but still on the crit- ical list. Prof. Brandt has been confined to the hospital since August. British Plan' New Cutback Of Defense Cuirb Inflation ChurchillSays LONDON-(A')-Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced yes- terday a new cutback in the Brit- ish defense effort -to minimize the entanglement of the nation's econ- omy in an inflationary spiral. He did not specify the size of the cut in his statement to a packed House of Commons. But he made it clear the action was designed to protect Britain's finan- cial solvency. "Some curtailment must now be made," Churchill said. "This will, to some extent, involve' the can- cellation or modification of con- tracts already placed. "THE REDUCTIONS will, so far as possible, be brought about by spreading deliveries of equipment over a longer period. It will, how- ever, not be possible to solve the problem entirely by spreading de- liveries into future months or years." This was the method used in the first cutback. Churchill's Conservative Gov- ernment announced last winter that Britain's long-range 13- billion-dollar rearmament pro- gram, first put forward late in 1950, had been extended a year because of manpower and steel shortages and the effects of the nation's economic crisis. Last July Churchill warned that a further curb would be necessary to prevent "a plunge into bank- ruptcy." Referring to aircraft, Churchill said yesterday his Government will reduce somewhat "the production of types now in service, but we shall continue to press forward as rapidly as possible with the intro- duction of the newer and still more advanced types" Churchill stressed that Britain is as determined as ever-to-carry her full share in the efforts of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion. BRITAIN IS NOW spending $4,093,000,000 a year for defense. More than a third of this goes for new weapons. Under the original defense pro- gram, the prices would have push- ed to a total of $4,620,000,000 this year, Churchill said, and to $5,- 040,000,000 next year.

Trial Warran ted In Kidnap Case Sugar Ray NEW YORK-(A)-The New York State Athletic Commis- sion this morning vacated Sug- ar Ray Robinson's midlleweight championship. Chairman Robert Christen- berry of the commission in a statement said that the title was being vacated because of Robinson's not complying with a rule that says a champion must defend his crown every six months.

Lie Ejects U.S. Aides From Jobs By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-UN Secretary General Trygve Lie has fired seven of his American em- ployes who refused to answer U.S. Senate queries about alleged sub- versive activities, it was learned last night. Nine other American UN. em- ployees were fired later in the night for refusing to answer ques- tions on alleged subversive activi- ties and nine more are expected to be dismissed today. Seven of those already fired have been discharged since the U. S. Senate internal security sub- committee, headed by Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev) began hear- ings in New York in October. The other two were fired earlier in the year. * * * THE NINE pending cases in- volve American employes who have been on special leave with pay under orders of Lie since their McCarran Committee appearances. Lie had previously announced the firing of four of those in. eluded in the total of nine al. ready dismissed; three were new. It was the first disclosure of this total. A U.N. spokesman recalled that Lie said when announcing four previous firings that he acted not only because of their refusal to testify but on further evidence supplied to him by American se- curity agencies. * * * THE TWO staff members dis- missed earlier in the year-Eu- gene Wallach and Irving Kaplan -were fired after refusing at pre- vious committee hearings to an- swer questions about alleged sub- versive connections. The jurists recommended that Lie fire any employe who refused to answer questions about alleged links with the Communist party or anti-American espionage be- cause such refusal created a "cli- mate of suspicion." A U.N. source said Lie would have a statement on the issue this morning. Stevenson Talks To Pre-Law Group Fred G.

Included in the program are crafts, weaving and Reuther Gets Post* Haywoo Vice-Pre siden Top CIO Keeps Sti~al /Spot Detroit Man Given Place AfterF ight Election Climax To Convention By ,the Associated Press Dynamic Walter P. Reuther was . elected president of the CIO yes- terday in a political scrap winding up the labor group's annual con- vention at Atlantic City, N. J. Reuther, 45-year-old chief of the CIO's million-member auto work- ers union, was selected in a hotly- contested balloting over Allan S. Haywood, veteran 64-year-old ex- X ecutive vice president of the organ- ization. a '«"~r TYV n'TV" fra I!11*10 *~ Appointment Of Recount Officials Told The State Board of Canvassers appointed 182 State attorneys to act as the official, neutral super- visors of the governorshiprecount starting next week, the Associated Press revealed yesterday. Appointments for Washtenaw county checkers havesnot been made but are expected shortly, ac- cording to County Clerk Luella M. Smith. THE ATTORNEYS were chosen by the State Bar of Michigan and were named special assistant at- torney generals by Attorney Gen- eral Frank G. Millard. The system to be used is the same as that which was followed in the Kelly- Williams recount two yearsago. At the same time the board finally determined that there are 1,019 voting machine pre- cincts in the State. Since 'these are not included in the recount petition of Republican Fred M. Alger, Jr., or Gov. Williams, the winning Democrat, that leaves about 3,463 precincts to be re- counted out of the state's 4,479. The board ruled today that theI three "oversight" precincts must also be recounted. the use of both electrical and hand tools. Records, games, tools, craft ma- terials and a teacher who directs the educational program are pro- vided for the shop by Galen funds. Last year's Christmas drive bought a tool chest on wheels which makes it possible for each child to choose the tools he wants to use. In addition to providing work, the Galen Workshop allows the children to have companionship with others of their own age. Noted owneri Of RedWings CHICAGO-(A?)-James Norris, 73 years old, one of the nation's leading -grain operators and own- er of the Detroit Red Wings died yesterday. He entered Passavant Hospital Tuesday. Physicians said his death was caused by a heart attack. In addition to owning the De- troit Red Wings of the National Hockey League, he had interests in numerous sports arenas. , A native of Montreal and grad- uate of McGill University there, Norris held directorships in five sports arena corporations-Chi- cago Stadium Corp., Madison Square Garden Corp., St. Louis Arena Corp., Indianapolis Coliseum Corp., and Olympia Stadium Corp., Detroit. THE VOTING was 3,079,181 for Reuther, and 2,613,103 for Hay- wood, based on the CIO's claimed membership of 5,692,284. Reuther thus won by 466,078 votes. The red-haired Reuther, per- haps best known for his many proposals for social change in the United States, succeeds the late Philip Murray who had guided the CIO for a dozen years before his sudden death Nov. 9. Despite the bitter battle between the opposing Reuther and Hay- wood forces, both sides pledged afterward to bury the hatchet and work together in the future. AFTER REUTHER was elected CIO president, Haywood, amid much-praise for ,Imis long work in the labor movement, was unani- mously re-elected as executive vice-president. James B. Carey, head of the CIO's Electrical Work- ers union, was re-elected secretary- treasurer. Reuther, who in 25 years has thus risen from a tool bench at the Ford Motor Co. to the head of the world's greatest labor or- ganization, grinned broadly as he was congratulated by his sup- porters. His election was almost an anti- climax to the 26 tumultous days that have ensued since the death of Murray, Nov. 9. FOR A TIME the battle between the Reuther and Haywood forces threatened to split the CIO per- manently. Despite the hatchet burying, some scars still remained, particularly between Reuther and David J. McDonald, head of the United Steel Workers. It was Mc- Donald, whose union is second in size only to Reuther's UAW, who spearheaded the Haywood fight. He carried his opposition to Reuther to the bitter end on the convention floor, although he knew several days ago that Hay- wood did not have a chance. From the opening day of the convention Monday, the coming showdown was uppermost in the minds of the 700 delegates, to the detriment of other convention bus- iness. Men's Glee Club To Sing at Banquet The University Men's Glee Club, will entertain diners at a civic testimonial banquet for former State GOP leader Arthur E.
