 While it ls possible to see some of the best-dressed women at an opera premiere, it is also possible to see some of the worst-dressed. due to lack of taste and not money. Last nights demerits he'd to be split be- tween a large woman wearing a wide-striped taffeta and one in a rich cream brocade with bouffant skirt which had pink ostrich trim mings draped around the bodice and at the hips. giving an impression of old feather boas used too well and not wisely.

Lobor Courts In Utilities TieuPsUrged
 Ferguson Offers
 Plon to Reduce
 Donqer to Public

Washington, Nov. l2-(UP)-Sen. Homer Ferguson, CR. Mich), pro- posed today the new Republican Congress set up a system of Fed eral labor courts to settle disputes in public utility industries without strikes.
 Ferguson said in an interview that his plan would have the effect of outlawing strikes in such vital industries as oil. steel, coal, corn- munications and railroads.
 Under his plan, labor courts would be set up paralleling the federal court system, with district and ap- pellate courts and c supreme labor court.
 Disputes would be referred to the labor courts when union and man. agement were unable to agree by collective bargaining. Either side could take a dispute to court.
 Strikes would be forbidden during 30-day period provided for court consideration and decision. Penalties such as loss of bargaining rights could be invoked to back up the courts verdict.
 Ferguson, a former circuit judge has been working on his proposal for some time. He said "the safety and the health of the people" re- quire last-resort settlement of pub- lie utility disputes by court decis- ion, rather than strike.

Pre-uUar Glitter Dominates Opening of Nets 62d Year

Nlmitz, of course, stuck to the navy blue.
 French Ambassador Henri Bon- net, Premier George A. Drew of On- tario. former Ambassador James W. Gerard. Sir John Anderson, former British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Portuguese Ambassador Jose An- tonio de Bianchi. and Jan Papa nek and Eelco Van Kleffens. re- spectively the Czech and Dutch rep resentatives with the United Na- tions. were among the notables att tending.
 It had rained lightly before cur tain time and late arrivals delayed the start by IS minutes. The huge auditorium was filled with a si5,- 900 audience. AS usual the crowd stayed with the show pretty well for the first act, while LakTne, play ed by Lily Pons, was falling in love with a hated Brito as no Indian maid should do. but after the first intermission had permitted a visit to the second floor there were a lot of delinquents. A number just stayed in the bar. others went back to the auditorium but came out oc- casionally for refreshments.
 It seems that opera goers must get more of the. applause out of their systems during the show. I know that the palm-beating at the end was scarcely more than polite, with everyone in the orchestra run ming for the exits. and that even a Broadway dud gets a better hand at the close. However, this didn't deter Miss Pons and the other lead- ing players from taking four bows
 Debut Given Nice Welcome
 The opera marked the debut of Miss Irene Jordan, of Birmingham, Ala, e mezzo-soprano, who had the role of Lakme's slave. Critics gave her a nice welcome It also marked the last time that Hugh R. Brown. house superintendent. will take opening night tickets at the center

COP District Captain Dies; Beating Fotol
 Dewey, Wollonder
 Pledge Co Bring
 Thugs Co Justice

New York, Nov. i2-(uP)-Bo Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and Police Comtnissioner Arthur wallander promised today to push to the limit" the hunt for two thugs who fatally beat Joseph Scottoreggto, Republican captain in the 18th congressional district, on election day.
 Scottoregglo, who was assaulted by the two thugs on his way to the polls, died yesterday without re- gaining consciousness. His death was the first murder attributed to election day violence in New York City in 60 years.
 Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, who previously labeled the assault "an attempt by left-wingers to intimi- date others working for a free election" promised in e message from Sea Island, Ga, where he is vacationing, that the search for Scottoreggio's assailants would be pursued by the combined forces Of the city, county and state.
 Tn e message to the victims widow, Dewey said:
 Mrs. Dewey and I wish to con- vey to you our heartfelt sympathy in the great tragedy that has come to you. The people of our state are deeply shocked and on their behalf 1 wish to assure you not only that every effort of the combined forces of the city, county and state of New York will relentleSsly pur- sue those responsible for the mur- der of your husband but that your own personal welfare and your daughters will be of continuing concern to all of us who are so deeply outraged"
 Rep. Vito Marcantonio, American Labor Party candidate who won the election in the 18th District, issued a statement denying that Scottoreggio's death was in any way connected with his campaign. Marcantonio said he had conducted a personal investigation into the assault and found no evidence to link the attack with the bitter fight in his district.
 Scottoreggio, who was campaign ing for the election of Frederick V. P. Bryan, Republican candidate in the 18th District, was assaulted at 5:l5 A. M. Two thugs reportedly attacked him while two other men stood by. Rewards totaling sl3,000 have been offered for identification of the attackers.
 Thirty witnesses and election of- ficials have been questioned by police but none was able to identify the assailants. Said one detective:
 Trying to get anybody in that section to talk is tough"

UnAge0 EreS Dt4u NAtSaROse
 New York, Nov. i2-(UP)-Pre- war glitter marked the opening of the 62d season of the Metropolitan Opera last night. but there was one obvious lack. Mrs. Cornelius Van- derbilt didn't show.
 The dowager queen of New York society, whose presence has put the official stamp on Met openings for years. is in Hot Springs for her health. Occupying her famous box No. 8 of the Diamond Horseshoe, " which once again lived up to its name, was Miss Margaret Truman, who has made no secret of her de- sire to be an opera singer. In fact the Presidents daughter was ac- companied by her singing teacher, Mrs Thomas c. Strickland of Kan sas City. Mo.
 But the performance of Leo Delibes' 63-year-old "Lakme" was attended by most of the regulars, who spared no pains to impress each other-and the press photographers with their gowns and jewelry. Mrs, George Washington Kavanaughr whose diamond tiara bounced for ward onto her nose as she was leav- ing; Mrs. T'helma Chrysler Toy, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, Ganna Waiska (no bare midrifi this year.. Mrs. Cornelius Dressel- huys and the Duchess De Tallyrand were a few of these.
 Men Return to FOrmals
 The display of finery was con- siderably above that of last year, when the opening came only a few months after the wars end. Notable was the return of white tie and tails and opera hats for men. The penguin suits were in such number that lesser mortals in black tie and dinner packet were lost in the shuttle. There were even a few opera cloaks, with resplendent lin- ings. draped over masculine shoul- ders. Fleet Admiral Chester W
