Immigration
Bill Passed
By House
Senate To Rule
On Cut Version
WASHINGTON-(P)-The House
last night approved by a vote of
221-185 a trimmed-down version
of President Eisenhower's request
for authority to admit 240,000
"special quota" refugees from
communism and other immigrants
into the United States.
It set the. limit at 217,000.
THE SENATE put over until to-
day final action on its own ver-
sion of the legislation,.
It approved an amendment by
Sen. McCarran (D-Nev.) pro-
viding for the admission of
2,000 Chinese refugees and re-
ducing from 12,000 to 10,000 the
number of escapees residing in
Allied Western European coun-
tries who could enter the United
States under the bill.
The aliens would be admitted
within the next three years and
would be in addition to the regu-
lar quotas of newcomers from for-
eign lands.
AS PASSED by the House, the
special quota group would take in
4,000 orphans under ten years of
4 age, including 1,000 Korean War
waifs to be raised at the famous
' Bays Town in Nebraska.
The legislation was one of the
last big obstacles in the way of
congressional adjournment this
weekend and was listed as a
t "must" on the administration's
calendar for this session.
Some Congress members have
attacked the bill as. opening the
door to Red agents to infiltrate
this country.,
IsROPONENTS argued that in
admitting persons who have fled
from Communist lands, the United.
States would ease the strain on
refugee-swollen Western Europe
and enhance the prospects for
peace.
Before final passage, the
House three times voted against.
killing the measure.
Across the Capitol, Sen. Watkins
(R-Utah) quarterbacked the ad-
ministration's drive for passage.J
Watkins said every alien seek-1
ing admission would be thorough-1
ly screened by American investiga-
tive agencies.

Italy'sDeGasperni
Gang Up.To Vote 'No Confidence'
In Premier's Balanced Chamber
ROME-()-Foes of the left and right ganged up on Premier
Alcide De Gasperi's new pro-Western Government in the Chamber
of Deputies yesterday and overthrew it, 282-263.
Communists and Socialists teamed with Monarchists and Fascists
to vote "no confidence" in DeGasperi in the precariously balanced
chamber.
* * * *
IT WAS THE FIRST such defeat for the premier, 72 years old,
who has held the reins of Italy's government since Dec. 10, 1945. The
new government, formed two weeks ago, was his eighth.
De Gasperi needed 273 votes to stay in office.'
Thirty-seven deputies, members of three small center parties
formerly allied with De Gasperi's majority Christian Democrat
Party, abstained. They could have provided the margin of victory.
Red-French
ar Flares
In Indochinia
SAIGON, Indochina -. (4P) --
French Union forces hammered by
air, sea and land yesterday at a
3,000-man Vietminh regiment base
near the coast of Central Indo-
china north of Hue, the capital of
Annam province.
French officers said heavy
fighting had developed in this big-
gest action of the Indochinese War
since an armistice ended the
shooting in Korea.
THE FRENCH threw 10,000 men
into the assault, hoping to close
a ring around the Communist-led
troops before darkness gave the
enemy a chance to flee from en-
trenchments to nearby mountains.
Several battalions of the en-
emy already have been surround-
ed and are being pounded by
American-supplied B-26 bomb-
ers and by warships firing from
the South China Sea, the French
said. French tanks are also on
hand.
The Vietminh regiment has been
harrassing communications be-
tween Hue and Qupn Tri, 40 miles
to the north, for several months.
Though it has occupied several
villages, the fight was reported
centered 25 miles north of Hue.
The attack developed as Maurice
DeJean, former French ambassa-
dor to Tokyo, arrived in Saigon to
take up his job as France's new
commissioner general in Indo-
china.
France is determined ,to bring
an end to the seven-year-old war
either through force or by nego-
tiation, DeJean said.
> Eight members of the 590-seat
chamber were absent.
Whoops of delight burst from
the Communist and extreme So-
cialist members when DeGasperi's
defeat was announced. Monarch-
ists and members of the Fascistl
Italian Social Movement greeted
the news with greater reserve, but
with obvious pleasure.
* * *
DE GASPERI, fatigued by al
long, impassioned plea for votes
just before the balloting, left the
chember immediately to turn in
his resignation to President Luigi
Einaudi.
He told newsmen on leaving:
"The margin of my defeat
was very small. It was too bad
the coalition parties did not see
it a little bit more our way."
He referred to the Democratic
Socialists, Republicans and Liber-
als who stood for election as a bloc
with the Christian Democrats, but
decided not to vote with them.
The crisis may lead to a new
general election.
De Gasperi's speech to the
chamber was primarily a rebuttal
to a week-long attack on his past
middle-of-the-road cabinet, a firm
supporter of the North Atlantic
Treaty Alliance and the proposed
one-army European Defense Com-
munity.

uated from the University law
school in 1905. He started his prac-
tice in Milan and went to Monroe

Dulles Firm
Against Red
China in UN
Says U.S. Would
Veto if Necessary
WASHINGTON-(IP)-Secretary
of State Dulles gave notice yester-
day that the United States will not
htrade admission of Red China into
the United Nations for Korean uni-
fication.
He said that if necessary this
country may use the veto to bar
the Peiping regime.
DULLES LAID down this policy
in announcing he is leaving Sun-
day by plane for Seoul to consult
President Syngman Rhee in prep-
aration for the Korean peace con-
ference. He has asked a bi-parti-
san group of four senators to go
with him to help negotiate with
Rhee a promised United States-
South Korean security treaty.
At the peace conference,
scheduled to be held by late Oc-
tober, Dulles said he would not
be prepared to agree to the uni-
fication of divided Korea at the
price of bringing Communist
China into the UN and above all
into the Security Council.
At a news conference Dulles told
a questioner that if membership
for Red China should reach a Se-
curity Council vote, the United
States will consider itself free
to reverse its previous position
against wielding a veto to block
the admission or recognition of ap-
plicant nations.
He added that his government
would be reluctant to do this and
doubted it would be necessary be-
cause so many other nationsshare
the American opposition to the
Peiping regime.
a * "
THE SECRETARY'S flying trip
to Seoul, expected to require about
a week, carries out his pledge of
an early meeting with Rhee. This
promise was announced during ne-
gotiations to prevail upon the
South Korean leader to go along
with the armistice.
A major purpose of the Seoul
meeting is to work out the Unit-
ed States-South Korean security
treaty.
Because any such compact re-
quires Senate ratification, Dulles
said he has asked Sen. Knowland
(R-Calif.), the acting majority
leader; and Sens. Smith ,R-NJ),
Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex.) and
Russell (D-Ga.) to go with him.
DULLES FOR the first time
stated two points about the Ko-
rean situation that had recently
become widely known. One was
that if the political conference
turns out to be a Communist sham
the United States after 90 days
will join South Korea in walking
out and considering what to do
next.
The other was that the United
States-South Korea security
treaty may contain a provision
for retaining American bases and
forces on Republic of Korea ter-
ritory.
Dulles took the position that
would not obligate this country to
keep bases and forces in Korea.
He told a questioner that such a
provision thus would not conflict
with any separate settlement
which might be worked out with
the Communists to withdraw all
foreign military forces from Korea.4

By The Assocted Press
The joint Allied-Communist Ar-

first session yesterday to start the
eagerly awaited exchange of 74,00
Communist prisoners for 12,763
Allied prisoners, including 3,313
Americans, Aug. 5.
The commission meets- for a
second time today to rush safe-
guards for enforcing the truce.
MEANTIME Red Cross teams
from Allied and Communist sides
were arriving in Korea. They will
be allowed to visit prisoner camps
in both North and South Korea.
Before the first 24 hours of
uneasyrquiethad settled over the
battlefield, commanders had
started the withdrawal of op-
posing forces along the cease-fire
line.
The pullback of the huge Allied
and Communist 'armies from the
Korean battleline was in full.

ling displays of "friendship" by
Chinese Red troops.
WITHDRAWAL by each side one

marcation line must be completed
by noon today under terms of the
armistice.
No truce violations were re-
ported.
Inspection of the demilitarized
zones by joint Allied-Red observer,
teams will be made immediately

IN SEOUL, President Syngman
Rhee declared in a statement to
the Korean people that "the 16
United Nations participating in
the Korean War are determined
to fight with us jointly to punish
the aggressors" if the Republic
of Korea is invade dagain.
While displaying no optimsm
for a lasting peace, Rhee said
he was going along for a limited
time, to see if the UN was ca-
pable of persuading the Chi-
nese Reds to leave Korea and
unify the land through negoti-
atiofts.
He added, "If after the set pe-
riod of time, we succeed in this
objective, it shall be a really
great feat; but when we fail the
United Nations will join us in the
undertaking of unifying Korea."
Rhee has declared he would not
obstruct the truce for the first 90
days of a political conference due
to meet by Oct. 26, or sooner while
it wrestled with unification and
other peace problems. After that
time limit, he has threatened to
take independent action.

Local Police Report Few
Bingo, Raffle Violations
By PAT ROELOFS
While Detroit legislators seek to find the attitude of citizens on
legalization of gambling, An Arbor has had little trouble with illegal
games of bingo and raffles according to members of the local police
force.
A member of the local police force said that the illegality of
bingo in the state cannot be changed unless a protest case arises
whereby prosecution or a change of state law would result.
* * s O
LOCAL residents have expressed
the feeling that church and com-
munity sponsored games of chance
are "minor, innocent and innocu-
ous" and hope that the ban will
be lifted soon.
The state-wide effort to clamp
down on gambling reached a cli-
max Monday when Wayne
County police chiefs agreed to,
give all raffling organizations
warnings to stop selling tickets
for chances on "dream homes"
and new automobiles or face ar-
rest.
Arrests will begin next Monday,
according to members of the De-
troit City Council.
The Council also proposed to
present Detroit voters a referen-
dum which would determine the
advisability of allowing charitable
organizations to sponsor "legaliz-
ed" gambling, such as raffles and
bingo.
The vote would have no sig-
nificance other than to reflect

Metamorphosis in six months.
The problem of turning a cockney flower girl into an elegant
"duchess" in this relatively short period of time is solved by George
Bernard Shaw in his social comedy, "Pygmalion."

OPENING at 8 p.m. today in Lydia Mendelssohn Theater, the
speech department presentation of the play will run through Saturday.
Adapting itself from the Greek myth of the sculptor who
fell in love with his own creation, the Shavian "Pygmalion" con-
cerns itself with a phonetics professor who offers an accelerated
course in the English language coupled with a thorough drill in
British social customs and a well-rehearsed stock of comments on
the two indispensables, weather and health, to a cockney gut-
ter-snipe.
WHEN, AT THE END of the allotted six months, Eliza Doolittle
is presented to English society successfully, the stuffy professor loses
