No. 101 Faculty To Be Reduced 15% Senate Committees OK More Gl's To Europe WASHINGTON, March l3—(iP)—Two powerful Senate commit tees today approved President Truman's plan to send four , more American divisions to Europe, but they reserved the right of Con gress to authorize all future troop assignments abroad. The action of the Foreign Relations and Armed Services com mittees was interpreted by Senator Connally (D-Tex) as a guarantee that the United States will now move swiftly to reinforce the 'in ternational army being raised under the command of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. .. Troops To Go To Europe "It removes any doubt as to whether these four divisions will go to western Europe," declared Connally, who presided at the joint meeting of the committees He said the unanimous vote should "encourage General Eisen hower and his collaboration with the military forces" of the Euro pean allies. While Connally was pleased with the "clear cut approval" given to the President's plans to send four additional divisions across the Atlantic, he said he did not like the effort to tie the chief executive's hands in the matter of future troop deployment. He may try to amend or defeat this provision when the question is debated in the Senate, he said.

Neatly stored in Mrs. Sta ley's attic were almost all of the dresses needed for the show. In order to preserve the atmo sphere of the play, Walters de cided also to discard the idea of using a realistic set, but to one which would, in his words, "pro vide the proper atmoiphere for a costume comedy which is really a comedy of character."

Eisenhower Public Eating Places Granted Price Increase WASHINGTON, March 13 (A)' —The government today allowed public eating and drinking places to raise menu prices to reflect 'actual increases in food costs. At the same time, it banned any in crease in their pre-Korean price margins. The Office -of Price Stabiliza tion (OPS), which issued the or der effective April 1, said this will result in some rises in res taurant menu prices, and price rollbacks for those restaurants' which increased their margins after July 1, 1950. Marion W. Isbell, chief of the OPS restaurant branch, said at a news conference that he expects fewer than half of the eating places to raise their prices in April if food prices don't go above the present levels. He added that he does not ex pect such a rise in food prices. In a formal statement, OPS Di rector Michael V. DiSalle said the new regulation forces restaurants to cut prices when food costs decline. It requires them to keep the ratio between their total food costs and their total sales no higher than it was in a 12-month pre-Korean "base period." Each restaurant can choose as its base period either the calen dar yea'r 1949 or the the 12 months ending June 30. 1950. The regulation does not require the restaurant to maintain, the pre-Korean margin on any parti cular item—like coffee, ice cream, or mashed potatoes—but only governs the overall margin be tween food costs and total sales.
