French Crisis To High Pitch By Red Terror
Paris—(UP)—The bloodiest outburst of sabotage in the communist-led strike of 2,000,000 French workers wrecked a mail train outside Arras today, killing at least 20 persons according to official count.
The wrecking of the Arras train was denounced by the Transport ministry as indisputably sabotage. Other French officials said it was a desperate act of terrorism by the Communists aimed at giving the death blow to an incipient back-to-work movement which had begun to cut into the nationwide wave of paralyzing strikes.
Emergency Acts Passed
Spurred by word of the wreck which authorities attributed to the communists, the national assembly at once enacted a law authorizing the government to jail and fine obstructionists preventing workers from going back to their jobs.
The assembly in early morning session armed premier Robert Schuman with two more sections of his emergency program, temporarily suspending two articles of the penal code, and adjourned until this afternoon.
4000 Men Guarding Assembly
Four thousand mobile guards and police isolated the national assembly today after reports circulated that Communists planned a mass demonstration of workers and a march on the assembly chamber.
For the first time since the communist demonstrations started, the guardsmen and police were wearing steel helmets and were prepared for the most rigorous eventualities.
All traffic was stopped as far away as the Madeleine, a quarter of a mile from the assembly chamber where premier Robert Schuman was battling for legislation to crack down hard on the Communist leadership of the national crisis.
Alumni Start Law Fund
A law scholarship fund has been established in memory of the late M. A. Ebright, '10, judge of the district court, Wichita. The fund was originated by alumni from all parts of the country when they read in the Graduate magazine of Judge Ebright's recent death.
cent death.
The loans, which will be administered through the University Endowment association, will be available to law students showing special merit and need.
Details have not yet been completed, but the association hopes to create a revolving loan fund with a low interest rate. The money will be loaned solely on the borrower's personal promise and is expected to be repaid several years after graduation.
Judge Ebright was baseball coach while at the University. He also played professional baseball.
Cookingham Speaks At SAM Meeting
Although municipal government is usually the largest business in any city, few cities use college trained personnel to run the business, L. P. Cookingham, city manager of Kansas City, Mo., told the Society for the Advancement of Management last night.
"Although local government is closest to the people, the importance of city government is not recognized by many people," Mr.Cookingham said.
Mr. Cookingham told S.A.M. members that there is a shortage of trained city manager in the United States at the present time. Last year over 200 positions as city manager were vacant, and more cities are adopting the city manager plan all the time.
Lawyer To Address Armanav Meeting
Claude Rice, Kansas City attorney, will give an address on military training at a meeting of the Armanav Dec. 16. Lyle Martin, president of the organization, said this would be one of a series of speakers Armanav has planned.
The purpose of the veteran's organization was defined at a meeting last night as being to uphold the constitution of the United States, and to aid and promote social activities for student-veterans. This statement was adopted as part of the constitution.
A special meeting of Armanav will be held Dec. 9.
Gunbattle Rages In Holy Land
Jerusalem — (UP) — Arabs and Jews fought a pitched battle in the Jaffa-Tel Aviv area today and first reports said five Arabs and two Jews were killed.
British troops tried vainly to break up the hours-long gunbattle that sparked a resumption of rioting throughout Palestine and Egypt. New disorders swept Cairo, where 500 students stood before the United States embassy and shouted: "Down with America."
The heaviest casualties occurred in the bleak "no-man's land" between the Jewish city of Tel Aviv and the Arab city of Jaffa on the coast. In addition to the dead, at least 20 were wounded by intense rifle and machine gun fire, and hand grenades hurled as freely as stones.
Arabs started the battle. The Jews, however, soon rallied support from the moderate Hagana underground organization, the Irgun Zvai Leumi underground and even the Stern group, the most violent of the three.
The Jewish counterattack carried into all-Arab Jaffa, with one group of Jews reaching the Hassen Bey mosque.
Lesser disturbances occurred in Jerusalem.
THERE'S GOOD REASON for the big smile on the face of John Crowe, Chicago, Ill., as he poses for the photographer holding a brand new football. Doctors have just informed the youngster that he has won his five-year-battle against a dread disease that has slowly been turning him to "stone". Now learning to walk again, doctors say he should be completely recovered within a year. (International Soundphoto)
Ghostly Doings Of Actors Make Ghastly Job For Crew
Construction of stage furniture and props for the next University presentation "Blithe Spirit" has put the Fraser theater stage crew to an acid test, according to their boss Ivan Sparling, director of the Noel Coward hit which opens Monday.
"Just about twice as many student play. Then too, many of the props were hard to make because of their novelty," Sparling said. Tom Shay, Manager

The stage crew consists of Tom Shay, stage manager; Arnold F. Davidson, electrician; Loren Orr, Wilson O'Connell, and Bill P. Ogg, members of the crew.
They have just finished a complete set of living room furniture and a canvass fireplace made to look like stone. The crew's workmanship has also produced several gagdets that are to be used to create illusions of spirits at work, but director Sparling has classified these as "Top Secret" just now so their full effect will be obtained during the performances.
Building a set of stage furniture for ghosts is all in a day's work for the capable stage crew.
Stage Set For Ghosts
"We don't even need to worry about putting springs in the chairs. Our two ghosts don't demand much in the way of comfort because they are too busy making life miserable for Herk Harvey who plays Charles Condomine," commented Tom Shay.
Other members of the cast include Joan Woodward, College senior, as Madame Arcati; Tom Rea, College junior, as Dr. Bradman; Marilyn Magner, education junior, as Mrs. Bradman; and Vivian Rogers, College senior, as the maid
The antics of Elvira, played by Bee Brady, College sophomore, and Ruth, played by Sarah Heil, College senior, as they battle for the attention of their husband shows to what extremes women can go. Even though Elvira has been dead for seven years when her spirit suddenly appears during a scence to complicate matters, she is a lively ghost and causes a good share of Condomine's trouble. When the two women get through with their author husband, he is ready to be taken away in a padded wagon. Other Cast Members
Tickets for the play will be put on sale tomorrow in the ticket office in the basement of Green hall. The office will be open every day except Saturday from 9 till noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. through the last day of the play. Saturday hours are from 9 till noon.

Marriage Relies On Family Background
Forensic League Will Meet
In summing up three lectures he gave this semester on the campus, Dr. Foster said, "In-law trouble is an extended parent-child relationship grown up. After you have married, your first allegiance is to your mate. If parents would learn to raise children like pigs—prepare them for a world market--everything would be better."
Mate selection and married life come easy if a person has the proper family background, Dr. Robert Foster told the freshman Y. M. C. A. Tuesday.
"Our job after our children get married is that ob a friend, not that of an administrator. If parents bring children up in a healthy atmosphere in preparation for the day they will marry, they can lead normal lives," Dr. Foster said.
The Forensic league will hold its first meeting since the initiation of new members at 7.30 p.m. tomorrow in the East room of the Union. Edward Stollenwerck, Herbert Coles and Kenneth Beasley will be on the program for regular speeches.
Training for mate selection begins as soon as the child is born, he said. If parents will meet all the stages their children pass through before they reach maturity with a normal healthy outlook, the chances for success in married life will be good. Give them the knowledge that they need so they will not have to find it "out behind the barn."
