Casualties Climb As Jews, Arabs Continue Fight
Jerusalem—(UP)British authorities reported today that the Jewish Hagana defense army killed 70 Arabs and wounded 100 others in a counter-attack last night in the blood-soaked battleground between Tel Aviv and Jaffa.
British sources said modern arms were carried by several hundred Arabs which attacked the Salame quarter of Tel Aviv. Jews in the city were panic-struk as the Arabs set fire to three huts, the British reported, but Hagana rushed up reinforcements in taxi cabs, buses, automobiles and trucks, and drove the Arabs back.
The battle also took the lives of 12 Jews and three Britons.
Toll Reaches 175
A new outbreak of violence today killed six Jews and one Briton, raising the Palestine death toll to 175. In the last 24 hours, 97 persons met violent death. Jews, Arabs or Britons were being slain at the rate of one every 15 minutes.
The Jewish defense army bombed two houses between Tel Aviv and Jaffa early today. It charged that Arab snipers shooting from it had killed four Jewish businessmen yesterday. Still another Jew was killed between Tel Aviv and Jeffa in the late morning.
Members of the Jewish underground, which has not called off its feud with the British despite the treat of an Arab holy war against the Zionists, attacked an armored car with flaming bottles of gasoline while it was passing down Tel Aviv's Allenby road.
One Policeman Dead
The armored car burst into flame, burning at least one policeman to death. Police reinforcements roared up and killed one Jew while chasing the attackers. Stray bullets killed a Jewish girl and wounded at least 20 pedestrians.
In Cairo, meanwhile, the seven nation Arab league was adding up the men and funds each country could contribute to "liberate" Palestine. Reliable sources said the premiers attending the meeting had said Arab governments would have to fight, even in the face of United Nations opposition.

Funeral Held For Sullivan
Funeral services were held Monday for Edward F. Sullivan, Watson library book binder for 21 years, who died Friday at the age of 67.
Born in Rochester, N.Y., Mr. Sullivan learned the book binder's trade there. After working in Texas, St Louis, and Topeka, he came to Lawrence to operate the Watson bindery.
A master craftsman, he took pride in every book he handled and the beautifully finished bindings, cloth and leather, that stand on the library shelves form his enduring monument.
Mrs. Margaret Sullivan, his wife two daughters Miss Frances Sullivan of Lawrence, Mrs. William Green of Butte, Mont., and three grandchildren survive him.

Christmas Seals Campus Quota Set At $1,200
The University Christmas Seal drive which started Thursday is a part of a campaign that extends into every state and to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and the Canal Zone.
The stamps cost a penny and gross five million dollars each year for the National Tuberculosis association and its 2,900 affiliates. This money is set up as a trust fund and can be spent only to combat tuberculosis.
The $1,200 quota set for the University by James Mcoy, chairman, is to be collected through the various organized houses. Each of these takes seals in whatever amounts they want.
Boothes have been set up in Fraser and Frank Strong halls. These will be manned by representatives from the selling houses. This plan will make it possible for all students to give to the drive no matter where they live. McCoy explained.
The national organization was started in 1904 by a group of medical pioneers. In 1907 the Christmas seals, which are now such a familiar part of the Yuletide season, were first printed. They furnished most of the money necessary to support the hospitals, educational programs, and mobile X-ray units that help to discover and cure this disease.
Ninety-five per cent of the money collected from the sale of the gaily-colored seals stays in the state from which it comes. The remainder goes to support the national and international campaign.
Kansas has two tuberculosis hospitals located at Norton, and Topeka. They are under the direction of Dr. C. F. Taylor, and constant research is conducted there to defeat the disease which kills more people between the ages of 15 and 35 than does any other.
The organization believes that tuberculosis can be eliminated through an extensive educational program plus additional personnel and equipment to help discover and care for actual cases.
