B ATT AT JON Thursday, February 15, 1051 Attlee Government Threatened Today London, Feb. 15 — — Prime Minister Attlee’s regime faced its most critical test today as left- wing Laborites threatened to bolt ranks in a no-confidence vote on the government’s handling of Brit ain’s rearmament program. The showdown comes tonight in a House of Commons vote (expect ed about 5 p.m. EST) on the no confidence motion introduced last night by Winston Churchill. It is particularly critical because the government, with a margin of Roger Coslett . . . manager of The Battalion Pipe Smoking Contest, is arrang ing for the prizes to be award ed at the contest Feb. 28 in the MSC. There will be divisions open for all types, sizes and descrip tions of pipes. Entrance Bal lots will run in The Battalion. Summer Campers Can Get Old Jobs Members of the Organized Re serve Corps ordered to summer training camps for two-week per iods are entitled to re-employment in the jobs they held prior to going to camp. This is the interpretation placed on the reemployment section of the Selective Service Act of 1948 by the Judge Advocate General’s De partment of the Fourth Army this week, Colonel C. N. Culp, Chief of the Texas Military District, an nounced today. The question of reemployment rights of Army reservists has arisen this year for the first time, due to the fact that in prior years attendance at summer field train ing was optional with the reser vist. This year members of most reserve units will be required to report for training, Col. Culp stated. In. addition to the Federal stat ute, employees of the State- of Texas' and its political subdivisions are assured reemployment by state laws granting military leaves of absence to its employees. eight in the House, is threatened with defections of some 20 left- wing Socialist MP's who have been muttering for the past three months that plans to rearm Britain are contrary to Socialist principles. Threaten Support The government has threatened any Socialist MP who abstains from voting with withdrawal of party support and has even order ed six MPs, who are ill, to show up for tonight’s vote. The big question in Commons lobbies today was “will Attlee’s leftwihg MP’s abandon him?” Most parliamentary correspon dents said “no.” Eight Liberals Eight Liberal MP’s—one too ill to be present—will decide shortly before tonight’s vote whether or not to support the motion. If the motion is adopted, Att lee’s government will resign and the king then either will call on Churchill to form a new govern ment, or call for a general elec tion, which recent polls say the Conservatives would win. The vote will be the third in seven days on motions which, if adopted, would have required the government to resign. Last week the Laborites beat down censure motions on their failure to provide more meat and on their national izing the iron and steel industry. Churchill Critical Churchill, who was critical yes terday of Defense Minister Eman uel Shinwell’s speech, in Commons outlining what the arms plan means, will wind up for the op position in the debate tonight. He is expected to demand that the government explain exactly what the plan means in terms of men, machines and guns. Chancellor of the Exchequer Hugh Caitskell is to tell what it means in terms of a more rigorous living standard. Judy Holliday and William Holden just can’t get interested in the morning paper in this scene from Columbia Pictures’ “Born Yes terday,” which also stars Broderick Crawford. The comedy, which is now playing at the Palace Theatre in Bryan, is based on Broad way’s biggest hit. Miss Holliday is on the 1950 academy award consideration list for her work in the picture.

Partly responsible for the rise of the newest college sport was Bill (Shoat) Hogg of Mansfield, an animal husbandry graduate of January, 1950, the magazine re lates in an article entitled "Cow boys on the Campus” by Jean Muir.

Vincent, announced to day that interest is growing rapid ly toward the A&M Pistol Team. Membership is being encouraged in the Military Science classes and through active members. The team takes part in arranged matches through the able assist ance of Sgt. Jack Cutsinger of the ordnance department. The primary objective of the pistol team is to promote better feelings between students and to develop their skills of marksmanship. So far in the season the pistol- eers of A&M have run up against rough competition such as The New York State Maritime College, Lawrence Institute of Technology and Colorado A&M. There are 27 members of the pistol team. In a match they fire 300 shots at individual targets. The best five scores are sent to the National Pistol Association. Here they are compared with that of a contending college, which is chosen by bids. A perfect score for a match is 1,500 points.

Now, the article points out, moves are underway in some con ferences to offer letter awards for rodeo teams, and some college sources predict that someday the rodeo will rival football as a col lege sport.

Mayor Named To Capitol Plan Committee Ernest Langford, head of the Architecture Department and mayor of College Station, has been named to the com mittee on the Capitol Plan of the Texas Society of Architects. Langford is also on the Commit tee on Education of the TSA. The Capitol Plan is the out growth of interest taken by citi zens in 1939, to acquire the land immediately around the state cap- itol at Austin. The land would house state buildings. It was set aside originally, in 1839, Langford says. State buildings are located fn many parts of Austin. The land around the capitol other than that on which the capitol and other state buildings are located has been sold. Boarding houses and other such buildings dot the land at present. A committee was appointed by the 47th legislature in funds for the committee. The City of Austin made preliminary drawings, Lang ford points out. The committee did not function during the war, at least to the ex tent of establishing a positive pro gram. Some of the members died. Today there is a definite move afoot to re-establish the program. The Texas Society of Architects is taking a leading role in revitaliz ing the program. Unless the land is acquired soon, it is feared that commercial inter ests may' purchase the land and if such a purchase is made, it is pointed out, it may he impossible for the state to acquire the land, the A&M man declares.
