Sorensonj president of the1 school, as both the state senate and lower house pondered a bill seekinsr $752,000 for this purpose. The bill was introduced into both houses several days ago.

A communique said more than 6000 in the Communist-le- d army were wounded in the vain tempt to crack Vinh Yen, some 25 miles northwest of Hanoi, and break through the defense ring the northern capital. protecting " The report on the gravity of the Communist defeat came as Emperor Bao Dai dismissed his Viet Nam cabinet. The action was not unexpected. Bao Dai, chief of the View Nam, state, will appoint a larger and more representative body within a few days. The military communique said French losses were not of the enemy's during- the furious fighting between Jan. 12 and 19 and that many French listed as missing were returning to their garrisons.

In the house th'e bill is sponsored Francis S. by Representatives Lundell of Benjamin, Legrand Jarman of Orem, Virgil H. Peterson of Lehi, Charles E. Peterson of Provo, Jack H. Swenson of Spanish Fork and Edward C. Larsen of Ogden. Less Amount Contrary to a previous statement the amount sought is less than the school asked last session for a new building. The request submitted at the last session of the legislature was for $1,000,000 for school buildings. In keeping with the eponomy thinking of the state, it was determined by legislators and school officials that the $752,000 request would be desirable this year, Mr. Soren-so- n said. This will not, however, complete the entire building pro gram, but Would enable the school to get a good start with building on their new site at 13th North, between Second East and Second West in Provo, the president declared. The school is practically the only state institution' that does not own its own buildings, ne indicated. .The present school is housed in temporary CCC barracks and two Utah county fair buildings. , The valuable' equipment that the school is using is in constant danger from fire hazard, Mr. Soren-so- n declared. He asserted the school is handicapped . in its offering of an adequate program by these buildings.' The school requested $325,000 for its operating budget last session. This year the request is for $338,330, the president revealed. 1 ; President Of LDS Mission in China to Leave ; James W.
