Jews Decide To Cease Fire
BY UNITED PRESS
Reliable sources in Tel Aviv said today that the Israeli cabinet has decided to accept the United Nations order for a cease-fire in embattled southern Palestine, but will reject the demand that Jewish troops quit positions along the Egyptian frontier.
The Israeli cabinet was said to have given foreign minister Moshe Shertok full power to reply to the security council's order. His reply is expected to be on its way to Lake Success within 24 hours.
In London, official British sources said Britain will insist that the Jews withdraw to the positions they held before their advance into the Egyptian-held Negez area of Southern Palestine Oct. 14.
"The British attitude is dictated by the fact that we are abiding by the security council's decisions," a British spokesman said.
There still were no definite reports on the renewed fighting in Southern Palestine. Cairo dispatches said Egyptian forces were turning back repeated Jewish attacks and inflicting "hundreds" of casualties. An Israeli spokesman in Tel Aviv said the Egyptians have suffered "particularly heavy" casualties and lost considerable equipment during the past two days.
Enemy planes were over both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv last night but dropped no bombs.
Europe is split along Communist and non-Communist lines in its reaction to President Truman's state of the union message. The Western countries welcomed it, while the Eastern bloc crowed that Mr. Truman had been forced to admit the "horrible inequalities" of American life.
In Athens, press reports said Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia is reinforcing his army garrisons along the Albanian, Bulgarian, and Romanian borders. The three neighboring countries already have reinforced their borders facing Yugoslavia.
Verdicts against 11 Germans sentenced to death or life imprisonment in 1946 for the Malmedy massacre of 71 American prisoners of war during the Battle of the Bulge have been reversed. A Washington memorandum on the cases said American military Governor Lucius D. Clay approved the findings of a review board that "evidence did not sustain the convictions. This is, in effect, equivalent to a finding of not guilty." The 11 Germans are still being held in Landsberg prison, however.
Charles Eatough, regional advertising manager of KMBC and KFRM Kansas City, Mo., spoke before two Elements of Advertising classes Wednesday.
Responsible officials in China indicated that the U.S. army and air force plan to finish their work in China by Jan. 15, but the navy and marines will stay longer.
The classes, acting as a board of directors heard Mr. Eatough's sales talk for a radio program. He afterwards played a recording of the program.

A luncheon was given for Mr. Eatough in the East room of the Union. Faculty members of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information attended.

Munich, Jan. 6—(UP)—Twenty of the 25 persons aboard a fugitive Hungarian plane that landed in the American zone of Germany said today they had planned their escape for a year.
Transfers Should See Registrar
The plane, carrying 21 passengers and a crew of four, fled Hungary and landed yesterday at nearby Rien airport after taking off from Peces, Hungary, on a short flight to Budapest. The plane was a two-engined Dakota.
Any student who plans to transfer from the School of Engineering and Architecture to another school of the University should report to the registrar's office before the end of this term.
Twenty of the crew and passengers, including 10 men, eight women and two teen-age girls, said they wanted to find new homes in the United States, Australia, or South America.
Five of the passengers said they were not aware of the escape plans of the other passengers and wanted to return to Budapest.
A spokesman for the group said the plan to escape was made a year ago and had no connection with the recent arrest of Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty by the Hungarian government.
Flee Hungary To US Zone
T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, said that the student's enrollment will not be delayed if he goes to the registrar's office to make out the necessary transfer papers beforehand.
The spokesman said he personally was en route to Chicago to accept a teaching post at the University of Chicago. He declined to permit the use of his name for fear of retaliations against his family in Budapest.
The pilot reportedly told authorities he was anti-Soviet. Another report said the refugees roundly denounced the Communist government in Budapest when they landed.
The newspaper Abend Zeitung said the passengers included physicians, engineers, a bank director and some women.
Summer Term Starts June 13
Junior, senior, and graduate courses will be emphasized in the 8-week summer session at the University of Kansas, Dr. George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education and summer session director, said today.
Dates for the summer session are June 13-August 6 with registration and enrollment June 10-11.
Large enrollment at the upperclass level is expected because of the veterans who are speeding their formal educations. Graduate course offerings will be the most extensive ever offered during the summer, Dean Smith said. However the program for new freshmen will be continued.
The summer session class schedule has been prepared and will be distributed about Feb. I, Dean Smith said. All ten schools of the University will offer degree programs.
The lecture course and many conferences and workshops will bring many speakers of national fame to the campus. The recreation and intramurals program with activities for every student and member of his family will again be offered.
Dean Smith predicted enrollment would drop below the records of 1,521 set last year and 3,439 in 1947. His estimate is a summer student body of between 2,500 and 3,000.
Third Stone Falls From Fraser Hall
The ground around Fraser hall is rapidly becoming a restricted area. Another stone from the building fell today; this time from a window-frame on the north side. Two stones from the top of east-side windows fell previously.
Workmen from the building and grounds department have roped off the area. They attribute the cause of the stone falling to freezing weather. The stones will be cemented back in place.
Officials of the building and grounds department could not be reached for comment.
