Final plans were made by the
committee in charge of the work
shop held at the home of Rollene
Pollock on Friday evening. The
program is under the direction OF
Fred Taylor and Mrs. Pollock.
The workshop will be unique in
that it will be devoted almost ex.
clusively to the training and advis.
ing members and interested per-
sons who have had little or no ex-
perience in the theatre.
Because the Key West Players
are non-profit organization and
one of their chartered purposes is
the stimulation, encouragement
and development of the arts in Key
West there will be no charge for
the eleven week course.
The Players are recognized as
one of the outstanding little theatre
groupS-not just in Florida, but
throughout the country-and wher-
ever little theatre groups are dis
cussed, they are commended for
the high quality and professional
calibre of their productions.
The workshop will be comparable
to university summer course, and
knowing the Players, the instruc-
ton will be any thing but dull.
The lectures have been planned in
such a way that they will be en-
tertaining and amusing.
For instance, the first nights
program will consist of scenes
from past productions to be given
by members who were actually in
the plays-Jack Clarke in a scene
from Born Yesterday" DOC
Gunderson and Drake Circle in
"Mr. Roberts," a scene from the
"The Bat" with Gertrude Splaine
and Janice and George Mills White
in arsenic and Old Lace"
The Players stress that everyone
is welcome and that attendance at
the summer workshop as well as
membership in the group is open
to anyone who is interested in the
theatre.
During the Players early years,
an erroneous local conception was
formed that the Players were a
"social clique" composed almost of
strangers" led. note-non-C Conchs)
and closed to anyone else who had
not received a direct invitation to
become member.
Unfortunately there were few
who encouraged this line of thought,
but these were not the ones who
worked in every production, acting,
hammering, building, painting,
making costumes and all the 9TH
er jobs that 60 to make a success
full show-they we're the ones that
showed up at dress rehearSalS,
end-Of-run partleS ana SupperS
given by the group, and the ones
who volunteered for production jobs
but did no more that be sure their
names were spelled correctly on
the programs.
This type of member no longer
exists in the Players and one of the
prime reasons for the summer
workshop is to encourage attend
ance, membership and the active
participation of more and more
Key WeSter.
The players will prove that it is
definitely not essential to have had
stage experience to get a part or
participate in production activities.
and to build up some degree of
confidence enabling the recruit"
to "git up on the stage and fight
for a part"

HANOI. Indo-C China. April 80.
French pilots flying American
supplied fighters and bombers
roared out anew under clearing
skies today to blast Wet Mini
concentrations ringing Dien Bien
Phu.
The French high command
announced that more parachute
troops. ammunition and other
war material had been dropped
to the fortress by transport
planes.
All attempts by the rebel at
tackers to infiltrate into the
main French defense positions
were hammered back last night
and early today. A French COM
munique terSely described the
situation at the embattled
stronghold as relatively calm"
Wet Mimi Fire Is Heavy.
Wet Mimi heavy mortars and
artillery continued to pump
hundreds of shells into the small
patch Of French defenses. An
swering fire from French guns
was centered on encampments
of the Communicated rebels in
forested hills encircling the bas-
ton. The French hit also at
truck conveys arriving from Red
China with fresh ammunition
and supplies for the besieging
thousands.
The fortress commander, Brig.
Gen. Christian de Castries. sent
out more commando units dur
ing the night to destroy Wet
Mimi gun emplacements and
arms depots on the rim of the
Dien Bien Phu plain. In the
fast strikes, the raiders broke
through Wet Mimi lines and
captured a number of prisoners
for questioning. In earlier
clashes in the critical northwest
ern sector, the French Union
forces reported killing at least
10 Wet Mini soldiers.

Senate Republicans
Fail 10 Take Stand on
Taft-Hart|ey Changes
By J. A. o'Leory

Senate Republicans failed to
take party position today on
major changes in the Taft-Hart-
ley law, due to go before the
Senate for action next week.
Senator Millikin of Colorado,
chairman of the Senate Repub-
lican Conference, said most of
the discussion at a meeting this
morning related to two amend
mentS left out of the bill by the
Labor Committee, but which will
be offered on the floor.
One would re-affirm the power
of the States to legislate on labor
disputes within their boundaries.
The other would require a secret
ballot of the workers before a
strike starts. This secret ballot
provision was recommended by
President Eisenhower in jan
uary.
Vote Wasn't Sought.
Senator Millikin said Repub-
lican Senators presented argu-
ments PRO and con on both
amendments" but no effort was
made to take a vote or to OBJ
tain a concenSus of the mem
bership.
The State Rights amendment
has been offered by Senator
GoldWater, Republican, of Ari-
zona. and reliable sources say it
has the support of a majority
coalition from both parties. The
secret ballot amendment will be
offered by Senator Purtell, Re-
publican, of Connecticut.
The Goldwater amendment
would preserve the basic rights
accorded employers and unions
by the Taft-Hartley law, but at
the same time allow a State to
set up its own machinery for
dealing with strikes. It states
that nothing in the national law
shall impair the power of the
State to:
Exercise it's police powers,
and to deal with labor disputes
causing or likely to cause emer-
gencieS affecting the health or
safety of citizens of such State
or territory; Or:
I'm any other case. to give
effect to its law, provided that
no such law may be applied so
as to permit employers or labor
organizations to interfere with,
restrain or coerce employees in
the exercise of the rights guar
anteed to employees by this act"
Sees State Laws Nullified.
Senator Goldwater contends
there is nothing in the history of
the Taft-Hartley law to indicate
that Congress intended to de-
prive the States of their power to
regulate strikes, picketing, boy
colts and lockouts. But the Ari-
zona Senator takes the position
that court decisions gradually
have nullified State laws.
He said the latest decision in
this direction was in the case of
Garner VS.. TeamSterS last De-
cember. He said the court held
that a State was without power
to enjoin an organizational strike
because such a strike might vio-
late a section of the Federal law.

Much of the extra money
would be earmarked for public
works. like school buildings. well
fare institutions. bridges, sewers
and water works.
SIS Million Extra Taxes.
The bill would impose extra
taxes Of nearly SIS million on
District residents and visitors.
There would be an increase of
l percentage point in the per-
sonal income tax rates, to raise
the top to 4 per cent, and a five
cent increase in the real estate
tax rate, from $2.15 to 1920 per
$100 of assessed valuation.
There also would be cents a
pack tax on cigarettes instead
of l cent. Recommended also was
repeal of the city's personal
property tax. City officials have
been protesting for years that
they are more trouble than the
levy was Worthless than 81

Also, there would be added

crease in the sales tax on room
rentals in transient hotels from
2 to 3 per cent.
Liquor taxes include 81 a gall
Ion on spirits; 80 cents a gallon
on champagne and 20 cents a
gallon on wine.
Borrowing Authorized.
The bill. as passed by both
houses, would authorize the Dis
trict to borrow up to SGT million
from the United States Treasury.
at the prevailing Treasury inter-
est rate, to help finance the city's
backlog of school, hospital. sewer,
water and highway needs.
Left to be determined is the
tax on beer. This will be one
of the major issues in the House.
Senate conference.
The Commissioners had asked
that the tax be raised to So a
barrel. The Joint House-Senate
Fiscal subcommittees recon-
mended SITS. The House cut
this down to $3.50. The Senate
adopted the view Of its Senate
District Committee that there
should be no increase over the
present 81 a barrel rate.
Another issue to be resolved in
House-Senate conferences is the
District tax on suburban bus
companies operating in the Dis
trict. They now are taxed at the
rate of eight-tenthS of a cent
per mile of District operations.
The House bill would raise this
to cent a mile. The Senate bill
would make it cents a mile.

diplomats villa. The Briton and
the Chinese Premier Foreign
Minister had shaken hands and
chatted briefly earlier this week
during an intermission in the
conference. They were intro
duced by Mr.. Molotov. Mr.. Eden
drove to Mr.. .Molotov's villa to-
day Immediately after private
talk with Mr.. Dulles.
A spokesman for the Republic
of Korea said his country would
protest strongly" if the Geneva
Conference switched to discus
sions on Indo-China before try
ing for 80 days to get Korean
uniflcation. There was no indi-
cation of what the South Korean
delegation would do if it's views
were ignored.
Thailand Opens Debate.
In the conference hall today,
Thailand reaffirmed her inten-
tion to cooperate with the
Western powers as we'll as Asian
nations in efforts for peace.
Foreign Minister Wan Waitha-
yakon led off debate In the days
closed session on Korea. Rep
resentative of a nation which
has announced its support of the
American proposed Southeast
Asian alliance, Prince Wan told
the conference Thailand does not
believe that, in order to be a
good Asian, one had to be an
exclusive Asian" He called for
unification of divided Korea.
This session lasted little more
than a half hour. The only
other country speaking was Tur-
key. The Philippines had been
expected to speak, but decided to
wait until Monday. The confer
ence will be in recess tomorrow
and Sunday.
Agreement on the composition
of the Indo-Chinese talks would
make it possible for invitations
to be sent out at once to the
three Associated States of Indo-
China and to the Wet Mini re-
gime. The other proposed par
ticipants already are in Geneva.
Korean Settlement Doubted.
Most observers already have
written off any chances of a
Korean settlement as hopeless.
The proposals of the Commu-
niSts and the West are as far
apart as they were in 1948, when
the United Nations first ap-
proved its plan for unification
of the divided peninsula by U. NJ
elections.
There appeared to be a bit
more optimism on the Indo-
China question, perhaps because
Mr.. Molotov SO far had raised
no demand which the French
were disposed to fight. The
Soviet diSplomatic chiefs main
demand to date on the Indo-
China conference has been that
the Wet Mimi must be included.
Although Bao Dai had threat
ened earlier to boycott the con-
ference if Wet Mimi representa-
tiveS were present, most West
ern diplomats felt there was no
sound reason for. opposing Rus
sia's demand.
Full Representation Sought.
The United States view was
that it would be extremely diff
flcult to negotiate a settlement
unless both sides were repre-
sented.
The French government sent
Marc Jacquet, French cabinet
minister for Indo-China, to
Cannes to talk to Bao Dai. APP
parently he turned the trick.
Some of the top diplomats
here already are preparing to
go home.
