Ike, Adlai Clash On Middle East Foreign Policy
(Compiled From United Press by Daily Kansas Editors)
President Eisenhower and Adlai E. Stevenson clashed today on the Middle East crisis and conduct of U.S. foreign policy, the final and key issues of the 1956 presidential campaign.
The President lashed out Thursday night at Mr. Stevenson as a political opportunist trying to get into the White House by taking a "political profit" on the Middle East fighting and offering the nation a "design for disaster" in the guise of a peace plan.
a place plan:
Mr. Stevenson charged the President and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles Thursday night with "catastrophic failure" to prevent war in the Middle East.
Both spoke over national television and radio networks, the President from Convention Hall in Philadelphia, and Mr. Stevenson from Buffalo, N.Y.

The President spoke for 28 minutes in his final "big" speech of the campaign before a crowd of 18,000. He received frequent outbursts of applause when he declared against U.S. use of force, not only in Egypt, but in Poland and Hungary.
Prepare To Leave Budapest
Eden Under Fire
In London Prime Minister Anthony Eden refused despite repeated opposition demands to give his answer to the United Nations resolution calling for a cease fire in the Middle East, despite barbed questions and heckling from opposition benches in the House of Commons.
Mr. Eden won an overwhelming vote of confidence in the Commons Thursday night on his policy of force against Egypt but at least 30 Conservative members of Parliament were said to hold grave doubts about his actions.
Prepare To Leave Budapest In Budapest, the United States, French and British legations were preparing to send the wives and children of their staffs home in the face of reports that Russia has decided to retake Budapest by force.
(In Washington, Monsignor Beta Varga, Hungarian refugee leader, said Communist Premier Imre Nagy has resigned. Monsignor Varga said Vice Premier Zoltan Tildy, chief of the anti-Communist Small Holders Party, had succeeded Mr. Nagy.)
Soviet troops were reliably reported surrounding Budapest 10 to 15 miles from its center.
Joszef Cardinal Mindszenty again took the spotlight as the potential leader of the almost leaderless revolution. He appealed to the West for help, and said all Hungary demands that the Russians leave the country because the Hungarians "want to work for themselves and for their own nation."

Berlin Orchestra Gives Superior Performance
By JIM TIME
(Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
Thunderous applause and shouts of "Bravo!" filled the air at the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra concert directed by Herbert von Karajan in full-to-overflowing Hoch Auditorium Thursday.
Though the program was of familiar old favorites, such a performance of precision and feeling made one think he had never before really heard the compositions.
Although Herr von Karajan uses bodily gesticulation and arm movement in his conducting, his remarkable rapport with the entire orchestra seems to stem from his sensitive, expressive fingers with which he does a major part of his directing.
The Andante movement of the "London Symphony" in D Major by Franz Joseph Haydn was outstanding and nearly evoked applause before the end of the performance of the symphony.
"Prelude and Love-Death" from "Tristan und Isolde" by Richard Wagner was a spine-tingling experience and the highlight of the evening.
Herr von Karajan is a handsome man of 48 who looks and moves much like actor Claude Rains.
In the allegro con spirito movement of "Symphony in D Major, Opus 73" by Johannes Brahms, the principal theme begins as a mysterious question in the string section and is answered by the wood-winds and then proclaims itself in full orchestra. The violins begin another theme which is taken up by trumpets and brought to a brillian finale.

The large audience applauded vigorously, recalling Herr von Karajan five times. He then conducted the orchestra in the encore "Air for the G String" by J. S. Bach.
Halls Set Up Study Awards
Recognition for outstanding scholarship will be awarded next spring to residents of independent halls at a banquet sponsored by the Inter-residence Assn.
"The banquet will become a biennial event," said Mary Yowell, McPherson sophomore and president of the association. "We hope this public recognition of high scholarship will encourage students in the resident halls to strive for better grades," she said.
Guests at the banquet will include the three women from each house who have the highest number of grade points, the president of the house having the highest grade average and the members of the scholarship committee.
A certificate will be presented each semester to the woman with the highest number of grade points, and the house with the high grade average for the preceding year will receive a traveling trophy.
Shirley Stout, Lombard, Ill., junior is chairman of the scholarship committee which drew up the program. Houses represented in the association are Douthart, Miller, Watkins and Sellards Halls and the upper-class dormitory of Gertrude Sellards Pearson.
