Atomic Bomb By Russians No Surprise Bus Boycotf At DukeU Peters Out DURHAM, Nov. 3 (IP) The 16-day old student boycott of in tercampus busses at Duke Uni versity has finally petered out. The boycott was formally call ed off today by Student Govern ment Asociation officers after chilling rains had dulled the stu dents' taste for the . clamp and sent them scurrying back into busses. Bob Hazel, President of the S.G.A., said the group felt that the boycott had publicly demon strated student resentment of the recent Duke Power Company fare increase to both the power company and the State Utilities Commission. Hazel said a formal protest to the Utilities Commission "is be ing prepared" and would be pre sented to the state body "unless other action is taken." The boycott started on Oct. 17 in protest against a bus fare hike that boosted intercampus rates from one ride for five cents to three rides for a quarter. Transportation was provided for students by fellow students, while some of the collegians re sorted to walking, roller skating and bicycles in traveling the mile and a half between East and West Campuses. Dictionary Fails As Students Try To Get Tickets r "There is no question about the explosion of an atomic bomb in Russia," Congressman Carl Dur ham, Chapel Hill, member of the Armed Services Committee of the House and vice-chairman of the Joint Atomic Energy Com mittee of Congress, told the Chapel Hill Rotary Club in an t Idress last night. "Although the area whpre the bomb exploded was well guard ed, wc knew about the explosion three or four weeks before Presi dent Truman made his announce ment," Congressman Durham said. "Psychologically, it is well that we made the announcement, because we have learned since that our discovery has caused much concern in Russia." Congressman Durham said that .Washington is also "well inform ed as to the number of atomic bombs Russia can manufacture in the next 12 months. "This country was well set to increase our atomic energy op erations when the explosion oc curred," he added. "We will double the size of the plant at Oak Ridge within the next 18 months or two years, and we will expand in large measure the research program in atomic energy for non-military pur poses." Pointing out that the national budget for this year calls for an expenditure of $42,000,000,000, and that $21,000,000,000 of this noes for defense purposes, Con- n Durham said he felt this large expenditure for de fense was justified on the basis of security for this country. The amount being sent to Europe for re-armament there is also con sidrrcd necssary, he said. LONDON'S City Solicitor Desmond Heap carries out a lime-honored custom as he counts out the sixty-one nails and six horseshoes in a cere mony known as "quit rent." In 1235 a blacksmith named Walter Le Brun built a smithy close to the tourney grounds of the king's templars, paying the rent in kind to the crown. Although smith and smithy are long gone, the rent is still paid every year.

(JP) A group of Michigan State College students have turned to Webster's Dictionary in their fight for extra tickets to the Notre Dame game. Tickets are at a premium Tor the game here Saturday. Some 25 single students ob tained "spouse books" entitling them to extra tickets on the theory they were married. The College discovered the hoax and took the tickets away. Now the students claim the dictionary defines a spouse as a finance or financee as well as a bride or bridegroom. The college is taking a dim view of the argument.

Winn Supports Passage Of Bill By Legislature 'Runoff Clarified Districts Changed As Scions Agree By Roy Parker, Jr. The Student Legislature last night abohsned tne Elections Board-handled automatic sys tem of providing infirmary confined students with campus election ballots, in the face of charges that those students were being "selectively dis enfranchised." The bill, which permits "friends" of infirmary students io procure ballots for them, received the enthusiastic support of Elec tions Committee Chairman Al Winn, former chairman of the Elections Board. Attorney-General John Sanders (SP) and legis lator Dave Sftarpe (UP) both spoke strongly m opposition. Winn pointed out that since, the "present law is continually vio lated because infirmary officials won't allow members of the Board to circulate ballots to pa tients," it was imperative that such a bill be passed. The bill would allow students who wish to vote to call friends and have them bring ballots to them. Sanders asserted that the bill, as it was worded, would cause more trouble for infirmary per sonnel than the present law. Sharpe, in a fast and furious ex change with Winn, said the bill ''selectively disinfranchised" stu dents in the infirmary, since it left it up to them to procure ballots. When " Winn rose to cry "disin franchised, hell," Speaker Leon ard ruled him out of order. The solons then defeated a motion to table the bill and passed it on a close voice vote. Two of four other election law bills didn't get by the legislators, however. A bill to provide for paying poll-watchers was de feated and another setting up scholastic requirements for hold ing office was recommitted. The two election bills that did get through, both without debate included one to consolidate town election district 5 into town 3, and another clarifying the word runoff" in the election laws.

Hang Over Sidewalk Buxom Sculpture Rents Bosom Space From City NEW YORK, Nov. 3 IP) "In-1 decent!" scolded the old lady in the black coat and the Queen Mary Hat. 'Hmmm. Very nice," murmured her husband, cocking an appreci ative eye upward. New York's newest work of art a whopping great aluminum Venum, buxom as you could im agine and as nude as your nose drew varied reactions from Madi son Avenue strollers today. But the city government's re action was 100 per cent pro. The Venus, buxom as you could im front of the new $1,000,000 Parke Bernet Art Galleries, brings the taxpayers a tidy $25 a year. This is because she juts es pecially does her bosom jut 18 inches farther over the sidewalk than the Building Code allows. Nobody discovered the lady's chest measurement was outside until sculptor. Wheeler Williams had completed her. Then there was much head-scratching. Could Venus' ah lines be al tered? Certainly not, said Williams. It would spoil the effect. He said the effect was "Venus awakening the sleeping giant of Manhattan to the beauty of art and culture." Real estate experts finally came up with a, solution: If Venus couldn't occupy the extra 18 inches free, she could rent them. The Board of Estimate approved, and so the lady is free to jut as long as her sponsors pay a $25 annual fee. i Venus and the building were dedicated yesterday with speech making and cocktails. "The city fathers," said William Delano, head of the Municipal Art Commission, "demand a con siderable sum in rent for ,the lady's bosom. It is, I'm told, the most expensive or should I say extensive? in New York City, against the poll-watcher appro priation, when he said Student Government faced a "big, glaring deficit for the year."
