The congress wUJ reconvene November 27. The filibuster was unique in that both supporters and opponents of the tough Communist control bill, the issue in question, participated in it. First, six senators teamed up to filibuster for 19 hours against the bill in the hope that popular oplon-io- n and presidential appeals might tip the scales in the administrations favor. Then, when the six finally gave up, supporters of the bill continued to talk until several advocates, including Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio could arrive for the final vote. the PresiThe senate over-rod- e dents veto 57 to 10 and the house by a vote of 286 to 48. Among its sweeping provision, the bill requires the registration ol Communists and Communist-fron- t organizations, authorizes the mass roundup of suspected subversives in time of war or national emergency and provides stiffer penalties for espionage and sabotage. President Truman, in a message to congress, said he vetoed the measure because it would: (1) Aid potential enemies by requiring publication of a complete KOREA: list of defense plants.

This is the first five-strank to be accorded since the top World War II commanders received it. ar Development of a commercia vaccine against mumps has been perfected. Dr. Karl Habel of the Nationa Institute of health said that limit ed human trials showed the vac cine, while not 100 per cent pro tective, appears to give a threefold reduction of mumps casea among vaccinated people, as com pared with those who were not vaccinated. The vaccine is designed primar ily for the immunization (protection) of large groups of children or adults, housed together in close quarters, as in schools, camps, insituations or military installations, where a mass outbreak of mumps would cause serious inconvenience. Dr. Habel said. It is not recommended for rou tine use in the prevention of mumps in childhood, inasmuch as it confers immunity for only about one year and annual revaccination is necessary, Doctor Habel added.
