Young Pianist Featured Here A young Wisconsin pianist will appear as guest artist and a num ber composed by a member of the Waukesha Symphony orchestra will feature the orchestra's fourth concert of the 1953-54 season at 8:15 p.m. today in the high school auditorium. Francesca Schumacher, 19, Mad ison, who was the first award winner a year ago in the orchestra's annual competition for young Wisconsin artists, will be the featured soloist. Miss Schumacher will carry the piano assignment in Franck's "Symphonic Variations for Piano and Orchestra," which will be the concluding number of the concert. The orchestra will open Its program with a composition by Richard Koebner, first oboist in the orchestra.

Dedicated to men of Wisconsin's 32nd division who gave their lives in World War II, the number is called "Reveilje," and is described as a "symphonic poem." The number follows the soldier through his training days, into combat and concludes with his final discovery of peace in death. A sampling of Beethoven has been included on the program and will follow Koebner's work in the first half of the program. The full four movements of Beethoven's "Fourth Symphony" will offer a treat in melodic structure. Intermission will be followed by a popular score, "Lieutenant Kije" a symphonic suite by the Russian composer Prokofieff. The story tells how a fictitious Russian officer is created in the mind of the czar who misreads a military report.

The make-believe officer is given birth and marriage certificates by authorities and is finally buried with full military honors. The music that tells the story includes a saxophone solo and the use of sleigh bells along with other percussion instruments. The number includes five movements which tell of his birth, his romance, his wedding, his married life and finally his death. Individual tickets for tonight's concert will go on sale at 8 p.m. in the auditorium corridor.

Season ticket holders are reminded that seats will be opened to general admission after 8 p.m. Rebels Cease Wild Attacks HANOI, Indochina W) The French high command announced today the Vietminh had eased their fanatical charges at the battered defenses of Dien Bien Phu during the past 24 hours. A terse French ccommunique early today said that Monday night was "relatively calm." But the French tlnion forces behind the barbed wire barriers and bunkered defenses continued to brace themselves grimly for renewed assaults. French planes ranged throughout the night against the feeder coolie lines bringing in supplies from Red China. Thousand-pounders and delayed-action bombs were strewn along the road and mountain trails.

The French were bolstered further during the night by tons of supplies and ammunition parachuted to them from American- supplied transport planes. The French kept a wary eye on the northwest corner of the fortress, where the fiercest of the rebel human sea assaults have struck recently. The claimed "more than 1,000" were killed in Monday's repeated assaults. Seniors Guests Of Local Groups Waukesha High school's seniors today had a preview of future jobs and additional schooling which will be waiting them upon their graduation in June. The group of 379 were guests of some 30 places of business, industry, agriculture, and education.

The annual program, jointly sponsored by the Waukesha High school faculty and student guidance commissions, Kiwanis, and cooperating organizations, is designed to give the students on-the- spot opportunities to see vocations in which they have indicated an interest. Groups of students who plan to continue their formal education after high school were observers at four schools. Carroll College, the University of Wisconsin, the UW Extension at Milwaukee, and at Wisconsin State College in Whitewater. Dennis Schirripa, of 3A Grandview Heights, is the "Imp."

Circuses are usually associated with entertainment, but a circus at White Rock school, presented recently by Mrs. Audrey Winchell's first and second grade, is an excellent example of how even that type of activity may be used to channel children's interests into additional learning. Attendance at the recent-Shrine Circus was a highlight for many boys and girls in the city's schools, and many used the circus for some motivation of learning. At White Rock this interest grew until the group's audience finally included other classes and spectators from the community. Facing the audience of about 300 in speaking or acting roles is an educational experience in itself, but much more than that justified the circus as an educational activity.

Songs about the clown, the circus coming to town, the elephant, and the seal were evidence of their music study. Less apparent, perhaps, were the words about the circus which the Consistent BLOOMINGTON, HI.

NOW SHOWING TWO-BIT NIGHT Sttecttd SlMff Marshal Given Stiff Reprimand PARIS MB --The North Atlantic Council handed a severe and un- Drecedented reprimand to France's Marshal Alphonse Juin today for his criticism of the proposed European Defense Community. The action by the permanent delegates of the 14 NATO powers leightened the virtual certainty lere that either France would have to ask that Juin be relieved as commander ih chief of Allied forces in Central Europe or the marshal would have to resign. "Any military officer receiving this might be impelled to resign," NATO spokesman commented. Juin reiterated an earlier statement Monday he would quit the jost only if assured it would go to another Frenchman, something most observers thinks is a certainty. The council voted the reprimand Monday and it was delivered to Juin this morning.

It said: "The North Atlantic Council expresses its profound regret at the public statement made by the commander in chief of Central Europe on 27 March 1954 and' subsequently reiterated. These statements are contrary to the explicit and repeated declarations of policy issued by the council under whose authority all NATO commanders hold their appointments children had learned in class discussion, writing, and preparation of posters. The fine costumes, which ranged from ferocious lion masks and tails to seals and tight rope walkers' outfits, involved work in measuring and arithmetic. (On some of the more complex costumes, Mrs. Winchell explained, there was excellent cooperation from the children's parents.) As the audience entered the gym-auditorium, each person was given a carefully lettered ticket by the youthful ticket "sell- Ushers from the sixth grade brought the visitors to the "freak show," where Tom Thumb, Rosie the Snake Charmer, Fatima the Fat Woman, and Julie and Nellie, the Two-Headed Lady, aroused chuckles.

Two large paper mache animals, Gertie the Giraffe and Artichoke the Elephant, were favorites with the children. Their friend the janitor had made the frame for the creatures, but a lot of work in making the paper covering and coloring the animals had taught the children patience as well as an art medium. A circus band led the circus parade, after which a uniformed ringmaster introduced the acts. Roy Hickok and his humming ropes; the "tight rope" walking Zombmis; The Great Toro and his Seals; the clown; the clown lady, whose baby was plagued by a red-clothed devil; and ferocious lions subdued only by a whip, chair and gun made up the program. Well-deserved applause met the group's efforts, and despite a balloon bustle which tried to escape and a member of the romper set who tried to appropriate Roy Hickok's "guitar," the first and second graders proved to be well-trained troupers.

They obviously enjoyed themselves, but they had also learned important lessons in cooperation, in language, music, art and arithmetic. When has a circus offered more? DID YOU KNOW?

Roswell Perkins, assistant secretary of welfare, said, however, that if the pensions could be paid with money from other funds such as general tax revenue "a great many of our objections would disappear." Rep. Byrnes (R-Wis.) said the administration's social security program provides "splendidly" for all aged persons retiring in the future, but is unfair to about 5,300,000 of "today's old people who have never had an opportunity to come under the system." The exchange took place during hearings by the House Ways and Means Committee on President Eisenhower's plan for increasing social security benefits, coverage and taxes. Under questioning by Byrnes, Perkins estimated that the administration a eventually would cover all but 1 or 2 per cent of people over 65.

The welfare aide said the program would bring about 525,000 aged doctors, lawyers and farmers under the system for the first time--provided they pay social security taxes for 18 months. For a total contribution of $126, a retired worker and his wife could be paid the maximum of $162.75 monthly for the remainder of their lives. Pierre Du Pont Dies; Was WILMINGTON, Del. W--Pierre Samuel du Pont, dean of the famed chemical family and a major figure in the development of two ol the world's largest industries, died last night. He was 84.

Du Pont, who took an active part in the du Pont empire even after his announced retirement in 1940, was stricken with a severe abdominal pain shortly after dinner at Longwood, his estate at nearby Kennett Square, Pa. Rushed to the Wilmington Memorial hospital, du Pont died of what physicians described as an aortic aneurysm (rupture of a main blood vessel). A younger brother, Irenee, and lis sister. Mrs. R.

R. M. Carpenter, were at his bedside. They are du Font's only immediate survivors. Du Pont, who shunned publicity and seldom made public appearances, was a former president and board chairman of E.

I. du Pont de Nemours co. He also served as president of General Motors Corp. for three years. Pierre was the great great grandson and namesake of a political refugee who fled to America from France in 1799.

His father, du Pont, was a noted inventor and authority on explosives who founded one of the nation's first dynamite plants, the Repauno Chemical co. near Gibbstown, ST. J. He was killed by an explosion of nitroglycerin when Pierre was 14. Pierre then took over the of the family as the eldest of 11 children.

A noted philanthropist who once built an $800,000 hospital in memory of his chauffeur, du Pont was a graduate of the Massachusetts tastitute of Technology. Shortly after his graduation in 1890 he collaborated with a cousin in developing the first successful du Pont smokeless powder. As the century-old powder company was about to pass into outside hands in 1902, Pierre du Pont and two cousins purchased the firm and organized the present corporation. Under Pierre du Pont the company expanded from powder into a varied field of chemical products. It developed nylon, which revolutionized women's hosiery, cellophane and some 1,000 other products.

Du Font's sales exceed- a billion dollars a year. Du Pont lived alone with servants at his Longwood estate after the death of his wife, the former Alice Belin of Scranton, in 1944. They had no children. Funeral arrangements have not been announced. Monkey Throws Wrench Into Whiskey Cache TULSA, Okla.

Churchill Uhder Fire Following Debate LONDON UP--Even Conservative newspapers lambasted Prime Minister Churchill today for his charge that Clement Attlee's Labor government threw away Britain's wartime exchange of atomic secrets with the United States. The nominally independent but usually pro-Conservative Times of London said yesterday's House of Commons debate on the hydrogen bomb "degenerated into a sterile, angry and pitiful party wrangle- and the responsibility Prime Minister's." was the The Liberal, middle-road News Chronicle said the showing of the 79-year-old government chief in the House may foreshadow his early resignation from office, something many observers have predicted would happen this year. The bitter partisan fight in the wake of Sir Winston's charge generally obscured the action of the House, which on a voice vote called on Churchill to take "immediate initiative" in seeking a face- to-face conference with Soviet Premier Malenkov and President Court to Hear Rate Arguments WASHINGTON (ff--The Supreme Court today hears arguments on whether the Federal Power Com- Eisenhower. But the Laborites did not challenge the government's stand that the timing of such an approach should be left to it.

Churchill put the House in an uproar with his charge that it was the "responsibility or misfortune" of Atlee's 1945-51 government that a hitherto secret 1943 agreement for British-American atomic coop- eratiqn was no longer in effect. Under the accord, reached at their Quebec conference in August 1943, Churchill and the late President Roosevelt set up the two-nation agency for development of the atomic bomb and agreed that neither would use atomic weapons against a third nation without the other's consent. Attlee, seething with anger and backed by a continuous Labor chorus for Churchill to "with- drasv!"

Purchase of radio station WSAU by Wisconsin Valley for $170,000.

Attlee, Churchill implied, should have let McMahon know about the agreement. In Washington, the White House confirmed that the secret agree- at an electrical equipment plant.

The issue arose when the commission, after a lengthy hearing i at Bartlesville, ruled 4-1' that it did not have authority to regulate sales by the Phillips Petroleum Co. However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia reversed the commission and in a 2-1 decision ruled that the commission is required to fix price: by such firms as Phillips. The FPC contended Phillips was not a natural gas company within the meaning of the Natural Gas Act and the commission thus had no jurisdiction over its rates. Joining with Phillips in the appeal of the court of appeals ruing are Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

However, the intervening parties--Wisconsin and Michigan as veil as Detroit, Milwaukee and City and Wayne county, Phillips is a natural as company under the Natural Gas Act and thus subject to regulation by the FPC. The intervenors say that Philips is engaged in carrying na- gas from wells in Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico to 10 jrocessing plants in Texas and Mexico hydro carbons and other matter is removed.
