Italy's Communist Boss. .. .ailing Palmiro Togliatti. who has been in the Soviet Union for treatment since before Christmas, returned home suddenly today, presumably to deal first-hand with a glowing breach in the Red party ranks. Togliatti’s return is expected to signal a sharp increase in Commun ist party activities, with the annual National Party Congress as the first big event in March. It has been reported that his quick return was spurred by the recent resignation of two top Communists from the party, which was followed by a wave of resignations by other im portant local leaders who opposed the party’s policy of putting Mos cow’s interests before those of Italy. Senate Republican Policy Leader... ...Robert Taft said today that as many as 18 U. S. land divisions may be sent to Europe unless Congress limits the power of President Truman.

Chief Justice Vinson delivered the 6-3 decision for himself and Jus tices Black, Reed, Douglas, Jackson, and Clark. Justice Frankfurter wrote a dissent in which Justices Burton and Minton joined. Vinson said the Wisconsin anti-strike law conflicts with the Nation al Labor Relations Act, and therefore cannot stand. Construction of a 60,000-Ton Aircraft Carrier. .. .. .was authorized by legislation sent by Congress to the White House Monday. The new carrier would be capable of launching long-range planes carrying atomic bombs. Senator Byrd (D-Va.) told the Senate the huge ship would cost §212,000.000. He said the joint chiefs of staff unanimously favor the project. Western Washington Lumber Workers. .. . . .went on strike Monday, and union officials began a meeting with employers that will determine whether the strike will spread. Some 14,000 workers have left their jobs over wage disputes. No general walkout of the AFL’s 65,000 lumber and sawmill workers in the Pacific Northwest was in order.

First of all tickets go to those who buy first, according to theater business manager Virginia Hall, who points out that this Friday and Saturday nights are already sold out, and next Friday evening is near the "standing room only" stage. She urges students to call in or make their reservations to day if they want to see the play. Admission is $1 or a season ticket stub. For the first time, eight regular performances of the comedy hit have been scheduled, instead of the customary five or six. And with closed period just around the corn er from the closing date of the pro duction, it's not likely any addi tional performances will be given. The play will be presented this Friday and Saturday, and Mon day through Saturday next week, It will be the first time the new arena theater will be used for a major theater production, though veteran director Ottilie Seybolt has ! directed "in-the-round" produc tions before. Since the arena theater seats only 13.r> persons, and only that number are being sold for each performance; but there will be no reserved seats in the centrally staged production. Whether you sit in the first row with your feet almost in the acting area, or wheth er you sit in the second or third row, depends on your preference. The little box office in Villard Hall will be used for the first time, j too. Ticket reservations may be made and picked up during the days at the main box office; but performance night, tickets will be movud to the Villard Hall box of-1 fice an hour or so before "curtain | time.” Of course, in an in-the- I round production there is no real curtain. Also, because of the tree-chop ping campaign of the physical plant, the theater’s traditional ban nor across 13th Ave. between Ore gon and Condon Halls has been moved. But not far just down to the corner of Kincaid. And—last but not least of the firsts — Gerry Hettinger, w h o plays the female lead, has had her brown hair bleached for her role, and is now a honey blonde for the first time. PanhellenicSeeks Five Chairmen Five positions on the Panhellen ic executive council may be peti tioned for until 5 p.m. Friday, ac cording to Panhellenic President Joan White.
