ST. LOUIS (UPV-Actress Tal
lulah Bankhead suffered an attack
of acute indigestion Tuesday night,
forcing cancellation of the play
"Dear Charles" after one act, but
she was sufficiently recovered Wed
nesday to return to the stage for
the matinee performance.
Miss Bankhead collapsed in her
dressing room after the first act
of the play at the American Thea
ter. Manager Paul iteisman said
she had been taking cold pills
which apparently upset her stomach.
But after a night's rest and
treatment by a physician. Miss
Bankhead notified Beisman she
was ready to resume her role.

both sides of this question rally
for a showdown vote.
As of now the Oregon delega
tion is split on the general issue,
with two members opposed to
UMT outright, one in favor of it
and a fourth not publicly com
mitted. Spearheaded by the American
Lr-ion and its ladies auxiliary,
those who favor UMT or nation
al security training as the Legion
prefers to call it have been
burying congressional offices un
der an avalanche of letters and
postal cards urging the lawmakers
to vote for it.
Against UMT
Some offices report they are
also getting considerable mail
against UMT, some from church
groups, while others indicate they
are getting only a trickle from
those who want the solons to de
feat any such conscription plan.
Rep. Sam Coon (R-Ore.) and
Rep. Edith Preen (D-Ore) are
determined to vote against. UMT.
"As of now I am against it,"
Coon declared. "I just don't see
any need for it. That doesn't
mean that at some future time I
might not feel there is a need for
it, but right now I'm opposed."
"In an extended compulsory
reserve and "universal military
training program," Mrs. Green ex
plained, "I see the blueprin'. for
a garrison state."
Norblad la Favor
j The only Oregon representative
on the other side of the fence is
Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.).
who is on the House Armed Serv
ices Committee which has been
wrestling with various reserve
training schemes for some weeks.
Just i prior to the Easter recess
theyi agreed on a plan wnicn
would give young men the choice
of being drafted for two years or

Restrictions
On Sale of
Sole Sought
PORTLAND (UP) Restrictions
on the sale of sole as animal food
to protect the ocean bottom fish
from depletion have been proposed
by the Oregon Fish Commission.
The commission, at , a meeting
of ocean fishermen here Wednes
day aid the mink industry alone
purchased 6,200,000 pounds of
oceaa-caught fish last year. There
also' was a decline in the catches
of Pover, English and petrale
sole, 7 the commission said.
The comission proposed to
limit sale of the three species of
sole as animal food to 15 per cent
of any boat's total fish landings
on any trip.

gram for six months of active
training duty plus 7V4 years of
reserve training, in which he
would be subject to call to active
duty at any time.
Oregon's fourth representative,
Rep. Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore.),
has not expressed his view on the
issue as yet
Stereotyped Letter
The arguments expressed - by
Oregon voters in their appeals lor
support or opposition follow a
pattern to t great extent, partic
ularly those in favor of UMT,
many of whom have simply Mgn
ed their name to a stereotyped
letter or card.
Some call UMT the "best in
surance for peace" and say "an
unprepared nation is a vulnerable
nation."
From the opposition come re
minders that 'conscription is a
departure from our basic Ameri
can policy" or arguments that
"larger armies are not the answer
in the atomic age" and "we must
not let the military gain control
of our young men."
Congress has always in the past
rejected UMT. In 1952 when it
last came up, the best proponents
of UMT could get through was tp-
proval of a commission to study
the problem. Last year the com
mission recommended a lottery to
determine which boys would be
drafted for two years duty and
which would have six months
training followed by reserve
status.

CHICAGO (UP) A University of
Chicago psychologist , doing re
search on the development of see
ing ability in chickens unexpected
ly turned up a clue to their feeding
habits that may save money for
chick-raisers.-.
The psychologist, Eckhard Hess,
as part of his research gave chicks
objects of definite colors, sizes and
shapes.
. He. found they had definite pre
ferences. Nearly all chickens pre
ferred to peck at something orange
or red among .colors, although a
small minority preferred blue.
They also had preferences as to
size and shape. ; i '
There emerged a cjue that a
chick meal made up of objects fol
lowing the pattern of i color, size
and shape shown in the experi
ments increased the tendency of
chicks to peck. By pecking more
at the food, they gained weight
faster.
The University of Chicago re
ports, discussing the experiment,
said "it would socm from Hess's
studies that almost a full week out
of the usual 10 tb 12 weeks needed
to bring chicks to broiler size can
be saved if the fcsl is designed to
suit their preference

MORSE CHALLENGED
WASHINGTON (. Rep. Coon
