Algerian Cease-Fire Likely
PARIS — (UPI) — The Algerian rebel government-in-exile in Tunis announced today it has been authorized to complete peace talks with the French. A cease-fire in the seven-and-a-half year Algerian conflict appears likely by March 15.
The announcement was made in Tunis two-and-a-half hours before President Charles de Gaulle was to meet here with his cabinet.
It followed a six-day meeting in the Libyan capital of Tripoli of the Algerian rebel parliament or National Council of the Algerian Revolution.
CONTRARY TO expectation, the communique issued this afternoon in Tunis did not state whether the rebel parliament had ratified the draft cease-fire agreement already concluded with the French.
It merely stated that the government-in-exile had been authorized to continue the talks.
Indications were that the talks would be resumed early next week and would last about one more week before a cease-fire is proclaimed.
President Charles de Gaulle called the meeting of his cabinet to discuss arrangements for winding up the long, bitter conflict.
This time they would be semi-public instead of held behind the elaborate cloak of secrecy which covered the earlier negotiations.
ALGERIAN AFFAIRS Minister Louis Jose was expected to report to the cabinet on a major unsolved problem—the bombings and shootings in Algeria and France which are killing dozens of people daily.

which shouldn't be pushed over the hill."
Gene Gaines, Joplin, Mo., senior,
said:
The OAS, led by embittered army officers and supported by most of Algeria's million Frenchmen, charges De Gaulle has "sold out" Algeria to 9 million Arabs after 130 years of French rule.
"Many alums are disturbed about the plans to tear down Fraser. I'm sure they would appreciate such a move."
A PLAN TO ESTABLISH a "dead week" was presented as a suggestion by Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission sophomore.
This resolution was approved for the week prior to final week be reserved for review and preparation for final examinations. No tests or term papers would be due and no major social events, intramurals or interscholastic events would be scheduled during this week.
WHITMAN ALSO presented a resolution that the ASC Traffic and Security committee investigate the possibility of placing a stop sign on Fourteenth Street at its intersection with Jayhawk Boulevard because of the safety problem.
It was later suggested that this proposal would take the place of having a "stop day."
The action on this resolution will be referred to the University buildings and grounds department.
George Hahn, Scotch Plains, N. J., junior, presented a resolution that the University put up iron rails for pedestrian support along sidewalks which become unsafe during bad weather. He referred to the problem which exists with the walk between Watkins and Battenfeld scholarship halls.
A BILL WAS introduced by Mel Saferstein, St. Joseph, Mo., graduate student, calling for an amendment to the ASC constitution. The bill would limit expenditures by a political candidate, or groups representing one, to $50.
The ASC constitution presently provides that no candidate running with the support of a party may make personal campaign expenditures but may receive financial support from the party.
Union Flight Plans Made
The new Student Union Activities travel committee has made arrangements with airline companies to reserve blocks of seats for students at vacation times.
Reserved seats will be available for flights to major cities on the East and West coasts. Students must reserve seats at the information counter in the Kansas Union four weeks before each vacation.
The committee has not yet been able to secure student rates for flights. It plans to contact railroad and bus lines for similar block reservation plans.
Approximately two weeks before each vacation, an airline representative will be on campus to issue tickets.
The committee also is compiling a list of overseas travel opportunities offered by campus organizations. The list will be available in pamphlet form in about two weeks. Pamphlets will be located at the SUA Travel Board in the main lobby of the Kansas Union.
Dickson reported that the student seating board has asked Earl Falkenstein, athletic business manager, for a financial report on the student seating plan. Dickson said it may be possible to lower the present cost although Mr. Falkenstein feels there may be a need for a raise in season ticket price.
French soldiers, backed by armored cars and half-tracks, patrolled the streets of Algiers today to head off violence and demonstrations that are expected to come as a result of the Franco-Algerian cease-fire announcement.
Saferstein said the elections committee has established Mar. 28 as the deadline for petitions for the spring elections for class officers. He said petitions can be obtained in the office of the Dean of Men.
Primary elections are scheduled for April 17-18 and the general election will be held April 24-25.
There were two changes in the membership of the council. John Young, Kansas City senior, replaced Joby Jobson, Prairie Village, freshman, as representative of the small men's dormitories. Don Hollowell, Popka sophomore, replaced Dick Cooksey, Iola freshman, as School of Engineering representative.
CHICAGO —(UPI)—Cook County Treasurer Bernard J. Korzen has lost the free advertising on tax bills, which used to carry his name, because of automation. "When you get down to the punch card you've got to eliminate the advertising" he said. "All available lines are utilized."

Army patrols ranged everywhere, marching in sections 10-strong and dressed in camouflaged battle uniforms and berets. The soldiers toured the streets and criss-crossed on all the main arteries.
Twenty-four persons were killed throughout Algeria yesterday and 51 were wounded, bringing the 1962 casualty toll to 1,176 dead and 1,980 injured.

Another rehearsal is over. There are only two remaining, both dress rehearsals, before the show starts.
The producer sighs as the last group leaves the stage. He plops himself down in a chair and thumbs through papers on a clipboard. Soon his many months of planning will be over.
He looks up, pauses, then says,
"Everything is going real well.
"You know, it's going to be mighty dull when this is over," he adds.

Air Force Orbits Research Satellite
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — (UPI) — The Air Force yesterday fired Discoverer Satellite No. 38 into Polar orbit carrying an instrument package designed to gather information for future manned space flights and for national defense.
Reading Increases Since 1946
NEW YORK — (UPI) The fastest-rising expenditure for any one recreational activity since World War II was for reading, according to a study by Esquire Magazine.
The publication found spending for books has jumped 92 per cent since 1952 and a whopping 146 per cent since 1946.
A Thor Agena B rocket roared skyward at 2:39 p.m., EST, almost exactly three years after the first Discoverer was launched from the Pacific missile range bases.
The Air Force said an attempt will be made in one to four days to recover the 300-pound capsule crammed with highly sensitive instruments. If the ejection over the North Pole is successful, snare-trailing cargo planes will attempt to recover the capsule in flight.
