JERUSALEM, Israel—UP-Premier David Ben-Gurion today ordered the Israel military commander to make a swift withdrawal from the Gaza and Gulf of Aqaba Areas.
Ben-Gurion Gives Pull-Out Order
The order followed a meeting between Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, commander of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF), and Maj. Gen. Moshe Dayan, Israeli army chief of staff.
The UNEF will take over the regions from Israeli occupying forces.
The decision came after a weekend of crisis at home and confusion abroad over Israel's plans. A cabinet revolt against any withdrawal threatened to topple the Ben-Gurion government. But the transatlantic telephone conversations with Israeli representatives in the United States and a letter from President Eisenhower apparently saved the day for Premier Ben-Gurion.
Weather
Intermittent rain southwest tonight and Tuesday with rain and snow mixed west and north tonight changing to occasional snow Tuesday. Colder west and central tonight and over most of the State Tuesday. Low tonight 15 northwest to 30's southeast. High Tuesday 30 to 40.
Ex-Student, Wife Killed In Crash
Claude R. Scheibe, 26, Marysville third-year pharmacy student this fall, and his wife, Alena Marie, were killed early Sunday morning in a near head-on crash on a curve on Kansas Highway 18 $1\frac{1}{2}$ miles east of Ogden near Manhattan.
Mr. Scheibe was killed in the crash. Mrs. Scheibe was pronounced dead on arrival at the Ft. Riley Hospital.
KU Pay Parking Bill Introduced
Pay parking may be introduced as a means of raising money to build adequate parking facilities for patrons of Allen Field House.
The bill giving the University the right to charge parking fees was introduced to a state Senate committee last week.
"I see no opposition to the bill as of now," Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said Sunday.
Refused Years Ago
"Years ago the Legislature refused our request for funds to build a parking lot. They told us in effect that if we wanted a parking lot to raise the money ourselves.
"They suggested we make people attending athletic contests and using University space to park in, pay for the parking lot.
"This is simply their way of making legal for us to do it," Mr. Nichols said.
More Space Needed
"It is perfectly obvious from the crowds we are having at basketball games we need more parking space. At the present time we have no funds to build these lots.
"If the bill passes the Legislature, there is a probability we will charge for parking space at athletic contests but no specific plans have been made," Mr. Nichols said.
"We have discussed what lots we will charge for or where those lots will be located and I don't believe we will until we see how the bill comes out."
No Epidemic Seen Here
There is no influenza epidemic here at present, and one is not expected according to Dr. Maurice Gross, physician at Watkins Hospital.
Dr. Gross said there has been an increase in the number of upper respiratory infections, but no large numbers of cases that can be diagnosed as flu.
"A large number of students have had flu shots in the past school year, and the number has increased in the last two weeks," said Dr. Gross. He advised students to come to the hospital for their free flu shots.
Mr. and Mrs. Scheibe were riders in a car driven by Mr. Scheibe's brother, Donald, 23, a student at Kansas State. The driver and occupant of the other car was Sgtt Booker T. Washington, 23, of Ft. Riley, and his wife Ann.
Others Injured
The Kansas Highway Patrol said the Scheibes died of head injuries. Donald Scheibe was taken to the Riley County Hospital with a dislocated right hip, fractured shoulder and fractured left wrist. Sgt. Washington was taken to the Riley County Hospital with a cut over his right eye and a broken leg. Mrs. Washington received serious cuts. She was taken to the Ft. Riley Hospital.
Funeral Wednesday
The Scheibes were driving east toward Manhattan when the crash occurred. The patrol said Sgt. Washington's auto veered to the wrong side of the road and curved into the path of the Scheibe car, hitting it on the right front side. The cars crashed when Sgt. Washington swung too wide from the inside curve.
Mr. and Mrs. Scheibe's bodies were taken to a Manhattan funeral home and on Sunday afternoon to the Kinsley Funeral home in Marysville. Mr. Scheibe's funeral will be in the Presbyterian Church in Marysville at 2 p.m. Wednesday. Burial will be in the Marysville Cemetery. Mrs. Scheibes' body was shipped to her home at Temecula, Calif., for burial.
Mr. Scheibe dropped out of school a semester but planned to finish this summer. Meanwhile, he was working in the Crown Drug Store, 747 Massachusetts St. Mrs. Scheibe was a beautician at Corn's Studio of Beauty, 23 W. 9th. They lived at 918 Louisiana St.

Magic comes in 7-foot packages.
Jayhawks Fill Field Houses
Magic comes in 7-foot packages. That was discovered by ticket sellers in every foreign field house the University basketball team has played this year.
With Wilt Chamberlain leading the nationally second ranked Jayhawkers, they have yet to play in an opponent's field house that contained an unsold seat.
The 7,000 fans that jammed into Colorado field house Saturday to watch the Jayhawks beat the Buffaloes 68-57 brought KU's
Pep Rally Tuesday For K-State Game
To give the basketball team a rousing send-off to the KU-K-State game, there will be a pep rally at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the east end of Strong.
"Since so few students will be able to go to the same, this way we can show the team we're behind them all the way," Judith Tiderman. Muncie senior, cheerleader, said.
foreign court attendance for the year to 107,000, slightly over 10,000 per game.
Kansas plays the K-State Wildcats Wednesday at Manhattan and with a 13,000 sell out crowd assured we will wind up the year by drawing 120,000 fans on the road.
In nine home games, the Jayhawkers have drawn 135,000 customers into Allen Field House. This is an average of 15,000 per game, with four sell outs. With a sell out crowd assured for the Colorado game, however, it will swell the home attendance to 152,000 for the year.
This compares to the approximately 90,000 attendance of last year, the first full season in the field house. An improved team and the fabulous Chamberlain have been the drawing card.
There was some doubt when the 17,000 seat field house was built that the team would be able to keep the place filled. However, the tremendous attendance must make KU officials' mouths water as they think of the 25,000 season crowds of the Hoch Auditorium days.
