The oratorio which is contemporary music at its finest will be performed by the combined seven choruses of BYU with hte sym- phony orchestra supplemented by two brass bands. There will be no admission charge and the public is invited. Conductor in performance will be Dr. Crawford Gates. Considered by musical authorities to be one of the master works of the 20th century, "Belshazzars Feast" is a highly dramatic and exciting musical setting of a powerful theme and text which was taken from Isaiah, adapted by Sir Osbert Sitwell. The text deals with the wickedness and subsequent fall of Babylon, followed by the triumph of the children of Israel. The performance promises to be one of the greatest presentations of the BYU Music Depart- ment and will be an outstanding event in music history in Utah. Early Utah Man Noted In Brochure An estimate that men lived in Utah as much as 11,000 years ago is contained in a brochure now being circulated by the University of Utah department of Anthropology. The publication was prepared under direction of Dr. Jessee D. Jennings, head of the department. The earliest people represented occupied caves on the shore of the Great Salt Lake when it was much deeper than at present. These people lived in small groups and they utilized all the plants and animals available, the booklet reads in part. Copies of the brochure are available through Dr. Jennings, Building 411, University of Utah, Salt Lake City 12, or by writing the public relations office, Park 220, at the U. . . . wctL MOM Jtykm& MORE 'WwkLv&tA MORE 5s! The light, mild Bourbon of cherished flavor KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON GLENMORE DISTILLERIES COMPANY "WHERE PERFECTION OF PRODUCT IS TRADITION 86 PROOF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY Figi 3 The Senator Reports By Sen. Wallace F. Bennett My proposal for more dispersal of vital defense industries stirred up quite a controversy here in Washington this week, and I am glad that it did. I think its time that the dispersal issue come out into the open. Senator Bush of Connecticut has accused me of taking a "meat-ax- " approach to the problem, and has charged that the dispersal amendment I offered to the Defense Production Act Is "a dagger pointed at the economy of New England. Actually, it is nothing of the kind. It is true that it would tend to encourage the locating of new defense industry in dispersed areas, like the Mountain West, but it would not dislocate any existing industry. And it would give the Office of Defense Mobilization the power to judge the merits of each individual case, giving necessary consideration to other factors besides dispersion. Briefly, the amendment would stipulate that before a company could qualify for tax amortization, financing, or other government assistance that it was being built in a "dispersed" area, or that the principle of dispersion had been considered and there were compelling reasons for putting the plant in a concentrated area. Senator Bush has taken the position that I am advocating this policy merely to get new industry for Utah. Of course, I would be happy if that were the result. But there is no question about the fact that the national interest demands such a policy. The Director of Defense Mobilization, Dr. Arthur Flemming, told the committee he "enthusiastically supports my amendment.

Fights for dispersal. he Air Force has tried to do everything possible to get greater dispersaL This has been a factor n getting new plants for Utah, Colorado, and other western states recently,. My amendment would merely give Congressional endorsement to the program, and thus strengthen the hand of these agencies in getting more dispersal. There will be real problems connected with getting the amendment through committee, because the Eastern senators on the committee may try to block it. But if it doesnt get through, I plan to bring it up on the floor of the Senate in the hope that we can get it adopted there. I am confident that the Senate will recognize that this is something more than merely a Regional conflict. It is a conflict between the interests of a few highly industrialized areas on the one hand, and the nation as a whole on the other.
