Americans Told To Get Out Of Hong Kong
Hong Kong,-(U.P)-The U. S. Consulate - General advised all American citizens in Hong Kong today to evacuate their families and belongings because of the "deterioration in the situation in the Far East."
Consul-General Walter P. McConaughy said the measure was "advisory" so far as private citizens were concerned.
The step was being taken, he said, because normal travel facilities might be inadequate if the situation deteriorated further.
Not only have the Chinese Reds invaded Korea in force, but reliable sources have reported they also may be planning direct intervention in the civil war in Indo-China in support of the Communist-led Viet Minh rebels.
But, he said, families of consular officials will begin leaving for the United States soon.
The move obviously was prompted by Communist China's increasingly aggressive moves in the Far East.
The consultate estimated that there are 1400 Americans in Hong Kong, including a substantial number of Chinese-Americans.
The United States already has clamped an embargo on all exports, direct or through other countries, to the Chinese mainland. The Peking government retaliated by seizing all American property and assets in China.
The United States has sent a memorandum to 30 members of the United Nations proposing that the U N brand China an "Aggressor" because of its Korean adventure. The memorandum also was believed to suggest a diplomatic and economic boycott of the Peking regime.
Formosan reports indicated that Generalissimo Chiang Kai - Shek's Nationalist government is becoming increasingly restive over the United States' insistence that it refrain from all raids and other attacks on the Communist mainland.
Cook May Again Be In California
El Centro, Calif., —U(P) — William E. Cook, Jr., may have crossed back into the United States from Mexico as authorities checked reports today that the accused mass murderer was seen in Southern California.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said a sailor reported that a man answering the description of the 24-year-old Cook, for whom an international manhunt is underway, had approached him early today in Chula Vista, Calif., a small city near the Mexican border, and asked to be driven northward to San Francisco.
The F.B.I. bulletin was followed at 4 a.m. by a report that the suspected slayer of eight persons was seen further north in Buena Park, Calif., in Orange county, near Los Angeles.
The sailor said the suspect was driving a 1950 Ford sedan, seafoam green, and was wearing a gray battle jacket, gray trousers, and a plain shirt.
Sheriff Jim Musick, of Orange county, said that Cook reportedly was afoot in Buena Park, and it was feared he might be looking for another victim to gain transportation.
The manhunt for Cook was developing into a bigger search than those staged almost two decades ago for John Dillinger and "Pretty Boy" Floyd. Those co-operating in the hunt included Mexican police, F.B.I. agents, California highway officers, Imperial county sheriff's deputies, and all available city police from border towns as well as regular border rangers.

A special meeting of the executive council of the independent Students' association has been called for today at 7:30 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Union building by C. Richard Krimminger, business senior, president.
The purpose of the meeting is to evaluate the activities of the various offices of the executive council and to make plans for the coming semester.
Regular I.S.A. council meetings have been cancelled until next semester.
