Three cars driven by University students collided on highway 10 this morning.
Harley L. Tracy, senior engineer, driver of the first car, was forced to stop by traffic in front of him. His car was rammed from behind by one driven by William W. DeWolf, College junior. A third car, driven by Eugene R. Sabin, junior engineer, struck DeWolf's car in the same manner.
No injuries were received, but damage to the second and third cars was reported heavy. The accident occurred east of Eudora. The students were coming to the University from Sunflower, where all three live.

Jerusalem, March 5—(UP)—The Jewish defense force Haganah carried out an attack on a sizable scale against Arab bands in the Sharon coastal plain today, and early reports said 15 Arabs were killed and a considerable number were wounded.
Jews Attack Arab Bases
The Arabs were reported recently to have converted Bir Adas into a base from which they carried out several raids on neighboring Jewish colonies, killing 10 Jews and wounding 20 others.
The main action was at Bir Adas, near Magdeliel, and at Kfar Saba, near the coast northeast of Tel Aviv.
Haganah opened what was described as a large scale offensive at midnight and carried it through the early morning hours.

Reports from Haifa said Arab attempts to blow up the business district of the port city were thwarted last night when Jewish bullets touched off a taxi load of explosives before it reached its destination.

To Have Complete Laboratories
Dr. Stowell believes that within a year, the University will have the largest and most complete laboratories in the nation for the particular type of cancer research contemplated.
temperaDr. Stowell's research will center on attempting to ascertain the cause of cancer through observation of the changes in the chemical composition of cells.
During the first year a microspectrophotometer will be built at the Medical center. This apparatus will utilize ultra-violet light for study of the chemical composition of cells. The physics and electrical engineering departments at the University will assemble this machine. Degree From Stanford
Dr. Stowell received a bachelor of arts degree from Stanford university in 1936 and was graduated from the medical school there. He received a doctor of philosophy degree in pathology from Washington university in 1944.

Finnish Leaders Oppose Alliance With Russia
Helsinki, March 5—(UP)—Three political parties took firm stands today against all or parts of a Soviet proposal for negotiations on an alliance with Finland.
Juno Koivisto, leader of the Agrarian group, said after the visit to the presidential palace that it strongly opposed a military pact with Russia. He refused to say whether it opposed negotiations.
Committees of the parliamentary delegations of the Conservative, Agrarian and Liberal parties called on President Juho K. Paasikivi and tendered negative recommendations,
The Liberals informed the president that in their opinion Finland should refuse to take up negotiations with Russia on Premier Josef Stalin's proposal.
"Such a pact would have prejudicial influence upon Finland, and bring no benefit which is not already included in the peace treaty provisions, and in the present state of conditions reached on the basis of that treaty," a Liberal statement said.
Despite the attitude of the parties, an informed source reported that President Paasikivi probably already had selected delegates to negotiate with Russia. The newspaper Nya Pressen said negotiations would be appointed not later than tomorrow.
Democrats Try To Heal Split
Washington, March 5 — (UP) — Democratic chairman J. Howard McGrath has been conferring informally with Southern Democrats without finding a basis for ending the conflict over President Truman's civil rights program, it was understood today.
As head of the national committee Mr. McGrath is in the middle of the North-South split over Mr. Truman's proposals to outlaw poll taxes, lynching, and job discrimination. At the same time, he must worry about the loss of votes to Henry A. Wallace's third party in Northern industrial states.
For the record, Southern governors have given Mr. McGrath the South's terms for party peace. Among their demands are proposals that the civil rights program be withdrawn from congress and repudiated by the Democratic National convention.
Four students were elected Thursday night to a temporary secretariat for the University commission on U.N.E.S.C.O.
