U.S. Officials' Families To Leave Israel
JERUSALEM - (UP) - Families of American officials will be evacuated from Israel, officials announced today.
At the same time, the Israeli cabinet went into emergency session to consider President Eisenhower's second appeal in two days on Mideast peace.
Arab quarters in Cairo said today Sunday's North Africa-wide demonstrations and strikes against the French government had solidified the 100-million strong Arab world against France.
In Amman, Jordan, a French spokesman said it would blame Jordan's King Hussein personally for riots in which the French consulate was burned.
King Saud of Saudi Arabia opened the contributions to this cause by donating $300,000.
The actions whetted demands by Arab states that all of them sever political and economic relations with France. They also set in motion a financial aid program to help "liberate" Algeria from French rule.
In Cairo, the American Embassy "urgently advised" all Americans who had no compelling reason to remain to leave Egypt.
Israel's decision to mobilize its armed forces partially sent an electric feeling of tension throughout this area, and already some Israeli troops were taking up positions at the front.
In other Arab capitals—Damasus, Beirut, Tripoli and Cairo—police with machine guns guarded European embassies against demonstrators taking part in the Egypt-called strike.
Poland Reported Purging Leaders
WARSAW, Poland — (UP) — Poland's new Communist regime was reported purging its ranks today of men who opposed the new leader, one-time Titoist Wladyslaw Gomulka.
The new leadership Sunday night announced it had freed Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski and restored him to his post as Catholic primate of Poland.
At the same time, Poland's second largest newspaper, sharply criticized the Soviet Union for treating Poland as a "second class cousin."
Reds Leaving Budapest
BUDAPEST, Hungary — (UP) — Soviet tanks and troops crunched out of this war-battered capital today. They left behind an estimated 3,000 Hungarian dead and between 20,000 and 50,000 wounded in Budapest alone. They left also a wrecked city where the stench of death already rises from the smoking ruins.
3 Russian Election Observers In State
McPHERSON — (UF) — Three Russian observers will visit local county Republican and Democratic headquarters here Thursday and Friday to watch a Kansas community get ready for the final thrust in the November election campaign.
The Soviet election observers, getting a unique taste of how Kansas takes its politics, will arrive Thursday by auto from Wichita and leave for Kansas City Friday.
KU Directories Available Tuesday
Students and faculty members will be able to pick up their 1956-57 student directories beginning at 12:45 o'clock Tuesday noon at either the Information Booth or the Student Union book store.
Individuals must present their ID cards when they pick up the directories. University offices have been asked to pick up their directories at the Registrar's Office, Hugh M. Grant, Hutchinson junior, and editor, said today.
2 Coeds Escape Serious Injury
Two women students at the University escaped serious injury Sunday when a motor car in which they were riding overturned about five miles west of the west Lawrence interchange on the new Kansas Turnpike.
Barbara Craig, Wichita, driver of the vehicle and Mary Sue Dunn, Kansas City, Mo., both juniors, suffered only minor cuts and bruises. They are in Watkins Hospital. The car was demolished.
Highway patrolmen estimated the speed of the Craig car at 100 to 110 m.p.h. at the time of the accident.
One patrolman said Miss Craig apparently was passing another vehicle and was forced off the road when that car swerved in front of her.
Fulbright Award Deadline Tuesday

Club Plans Mexican Trip
Want to go to Mexico? If so see Byron Hershey, Florence, Ala., senior, before Nov. 5. Hershey is the chairman of the preparation committee for the International Club's Mexican trip.
The group taking this trip will depart Dec. 19 and return to Lawrence on Jan. 3. The tentative itinerary calls for six days for traveling, five days in Mexico City and three days in either Vera Cruz or Acapulco.
The cost a person will be $110, which includes transportation, room and board. Visa fee, entertainment and souvenirs will be taken care of by individuals.
$100 Prizes Awarded In Design, Crafts Show
The trip will be made in a charterd bus which seats 30 persons. If the number of persons who wish to go exceeds 30, the International Club might consider chartering another bus. Persons wishing to go should call Hershey at VI 3-9211.
Prizes were awarded Sunday in the third annual Kansas Designer Craftsmen Show by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy at a tea sponsored by Delta Phi Delta, honorary art fraternity.
Winners of $100 prizes were Mrs. Nan Becker, Kansas City, Mo., for sculpture; Ronald D. Hickman, Lawrence senior, for silversmithing; William F. Imel, Fort Collins, Colo., weaving and Bert O. Keeney, stoneware.
Chancellor Murphy said this year's show was larger in exhibits and exhibitors, and also "substantially better from a quantitative point of view."
Judges for the show were Bernard (Poco) Frazier, University resident sculptor, and Dr. Ray Faulkner, assistant dean of the College of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University.
The show included work in ceramics, metal work, silversmithing, jewelry, enameling, bookbinding, textiles, printed and woven, furniture, wood turning, sculpture in fire clay, stone, wood, and metal.
The show will be on display in the main lounge of the Student Union until Nov. 16. It is sponsored by the design department of the School of Fine Arts, the Student Union Activities, University Extension, and Delta Phi Delta.
Mr. Frazier said the show "ranks high by comparison to the works of other such working groups—more competent than many and as good as the best."

By GEORGE ANTHAN
(Of The Daily Kansan Staff) Some day during the coming International Geophysical Year, an artificial earth satellite will be launched from a Florida beach. The launching site is only 100 miles from the spot where Jules Verne, is one of his famous books, launched the fictitious "moon rocket."
The tracking and observing of this proposed satellite was explained to students and faculty members of the University Friday and to 1,000 high school students and teachers Saturday by J. Allen Hynek, associate director of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Institute and head of the satellite tracking program.
Speakers From KU
Dr. Hynek was the main speaker for KU's fifth annual Mathematics and Science Day.
The high school students and their teachers also heard Carlyle Smith, associate professor of anthropology, who recently returned from an expedition to the South Pacific with Thor Heyerdahl, author of the book, "Kon Tiki."
Max Dresden, professor of physics, explained the type of physics and electrical research being carried out at the University. Walter Young-quist, professor of geology, spoke on geology and geography.
A total of 38 nations will coordinate studies of the satellite program during the Third International Geophysical Year,1957-58,Dr. Hynek said.
He is in charge of tracking and observing the satellite after it has been launched at a height of 200 to 400 miles above the earth.
Why wouldn't it stay up forever like the moon?
"It would if it went high enough," Dr. Hynek said, "but even at 300 miles there is enough atmosphere to slow the satellite until it finally begins to fall."
"Moonwatch" Teams
He is responsible for setting up 200 "moonwatch" teams throughout the U.S. From reports of these teams and others all over the world scientists will be able to determine the orbit of the artificial satellite. Once the orbit is established, high power telescopes equipped with 55-millimeter cinemascope film will then track and observe the man-made moon.
If it reaches only 200 miles it will begin to spiral downward after 15 days and if it goes up only 100 miles it will fall within the hour.
Dr. Hynek said scientists hope to project the satellite as far as 300 miles. If they are successful, the satellite will remain aloft for about a year.
When it does begin to spiral downward it will probably burn when it reaches denser atmosphere because of friction caused by high speed, he explained.
3-Stage Rocket
"The satellite which will be propelled upward by means of a 3-stage rocket, will also be important in relation to the geography of the earth's surface," Dr. Hynek said. "From deviations in the satellite's orbit we will receive clues as to the distribution of land masses under the surface of the earth. Also, the mapping of continents, which is now accurate up to 1,000 feet, would be accurate to 40.or 50 feet by precise calculation of the satellite's orbit."
The U.S. is not the only country trying to send an artificial satellite aloft, he told the audience. Russia is also pushing the project.
"The satellite we see may not be our own." he added.
After leveling off in its orbit the proposed "moon" will travel at approximately 18,000 miles an hour and will circle the earth once every 100 minutes.
