Chiang Wants To Talk Peace With Reds
By UNITED PRESS
184 Nationalist China today proposed an immediate cease-fire and a peace conference with the Communists in China.
The proposals, announced after a cabinet meeting in Nanking, constituted the government's reply to the communist radio's broadcast of eight conditions for peace. In effect, the Red proposals would have delivered all China firmly into Communist hands.
The Nationalist government also has informed all foreign embassies and legations in Nanking that it has decided to move to Canton and asked them to do likewise because of the increasing Communist threat to the present capital.
The government announcement said the decision to seek a peace conference was taken in "deference to the general wishes of the people for early realization of peace."
Other foreign news:
The U.S. embassy was understood to have asked Washington whether it should move in a body to Canton or whether different sections should follow similar sections of the Nationalist government to Chungking, Formosa, and Canton.

Prices Falling?
It Says So Here
Toneka, Jan. 19—(UP)—For the first time in the postwar period the Kansas housewife today could compare her grocery bills with those of a year earlier and find that household food costs are down, the state department of labor said today.
P. G. Baird, labor commissioner, reported that a preliminary survey showed the year-end index of retail food prices in Kansas was 2.7 under the level of a year ago.
During December the index diped .8 per cent—the fourth straight month of tiny declines—he said.
Alumni Telegraph Version Of Allen-Davidson "Affair"
Of 41 food items checked at groceries and meat markets throughout Kansas, 29 decreased in price, eight went up and four showed no change in the month's period.
I know that the Daily Kansan will be interested in the version of a group of former Jayhawkers regarding the incident surrounding last Saturday night's Kansas game with Washington university. The incident was precipitated by a ball thrown by a Kansas substitute that caught referee Davidson unawares. He charged the Kansas bench, was brushed by a Kansas player, and he immediately swung on Dr. Allen, who had made no aggressive move. Dean Nesmith and the Kansas players assisted the Washington officers in restoring order for the final play.
The Daily Kansan received a telegram from the vice-president of the St. Louis alumni association, Bill Johnson, regarding the Kansas-Washington game in St. Louis, Jan. 15. He was a member of the Kansas University basketball team from 1930 to 1933, and is now a vice-president of the Philco company in St. Louis.
The Telegram reads:
The whole incident came about because of the intensiveness of play in the last minute and could not have been as a result of any action in protest of the referee's decision by the Kansas bench because the foul that was called was in favor of the Kansas team. and was roundly booed by a wrought up Washington crowd. The 50 former alumni of K.U. were proud of the action of all members of the team, Dr. Allen, and Dean Nesmith in assisting in restoring order and of the players who played a good clean game.

Walter E. Ewert, assistant professor of journalism, will become news advisor of the University Daily Kansan beginning with the first issue of the spring semester on Thursday. Feb. 3.
Kansan Gets New Advisor
He will succeed Emil L. Telfel, assistant professor of journalism who has been news advisor since the 1947 spring semester when he succeeded Gordon A. Sabine, now teaching at the University of Oregon.
The University Daily Kansan received an All-American rating from the Associated Collegiate Press in 1947 and 1948 while Mr. Telfel was news advisor. The rating is the highest award by the A.C.P. in its annual critical service. The 1947 and 1948 All-American awards were the first ever received by the University Daily Kansan.
Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information said that Mr. Telfel had asked to be relieved of the news advisorship so that he could devote more time to his "favorite courses."
"Mr. Telfel and Mr. Ewert will probably alternate as news advisor every two semesters." Dean Marvin said. "The original idea when Mr. Telfel was first appointed was to alternate advisors, but it couldn't be done because of the resignations of Mr. Sabine and then of Edwin B. Hunter, and Mr. Telfel has served four semesters."
