Shots, Ultimatums Sparked in Middle East
CAIRO—(UP)—Egypt struck back by ground and air last night against invading Israeli troops and claimed it brought the Israeli advance to a “complete standstill.” An Egyptian communique said “mopping up” operations were
The Egyptians moved in massive retaliation as Britain and France issued a stern 12-hour ultimatum, threatening to move their troops into the Suez Canal zone unless the fighting ended by 8:30 P.M. PST.
Britain and France issued the ultimatum earlier yesterday threatening Anglo-French occupation of the Suez Canal zone unless both Israel and Egypt stop fighting by 11:30 last night.
Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser last night rejected the London ultimatum to stop hostilities in Egypt or face a French-British occupation of the Suez Canal
Nasser warned Britain and France his country would fight if they attempted to seize the Suez Canal.
Nasser also appealed to President Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin to stop Britain and France from carrying out their Suez threat.
The Egyptian president said the Anglo-French ulti- j matum “cannot possibly be accepted by Egypt.”
He accused Britain and France of “preparing for aggression against the victim of the (Israeli) attack.
Nasser said the Anglo-French ultimatum “trespasses Egypt’s rights and dignity and is a flagrant disregard of • the United Nations charter.”
Jerusalem radio said that Israel accepts the conditions of the ultimatum as to time and area in stopping hostilities and the withdrawal of their forces to a distance of 10 miles from the Suez Canal.
Israeli forces, supported by strafing fighter planes,; swung northward in Egypt earlier yesterday in a move apparently designed to hem in the rear of powerful Egyptian forces in the Gaza Strip area.
An Israeli spokesman said Israeli forces captured the Kusseima (Quaisima) Road Junction, six miles inside j Egypt but close to the Gaza Strip where the bulk of Egypt’s armies are located. '
But an Israeli Foreign Office spokesman said that Israeli troops thrusting into Egypt would withdraw once j they have accomplished their mission—to destroy Egyptian !
suicide commando bases from which Arab raiders had, struck into Israel.
The Arab world was rallying to Egypt’s side. In Baghdad an Iraqi government spokesman said his country’s forces were ready to move to Egypt’s aid.
Mobilization was declared throughout Syria and Saudi Arabia. King Hussein of Jordan said his country was now , “alerted to her sacred duty in the Arab battle against the common enemy.”
Iraq informed Britain, the United States and France that it would definitely enter the battle if the Israeli miliary action continues. Anti-aircraft units took up strategic positions around Damascus and other Syrian cities. ;
Last night in the United Nations, Britain and France vetoed an American resolution to order a cease-fire in the Middle East fighting.
The vetoed U.S. resolution also called upon Israel to withdraw immediately its invading forces from Egypt.
The British and French opposed the resolution because it would have blocked their threat to send forces to occupy the Suez Canal zone unless Egypt and Israel
stopped fighting by 8:30 last night.
It was an unprecedented split between the United States and Britain and France on a major issue before the United Nations. Never before had Britain vetoed any item, and France had used the veto power only twice.
It brought a strange alignment that found Russia staunchly supporting the American demand for a ceasefire aad withdrawal and a call to all countries to end military, economic or financial assistance to Israel until it complies.
The vote was 7-2 with Britain and France standing alone and Australia and Belgium abstaining.
Aligned with the United States were Russia. Yugoslavia, Nationalist China, Iran, Cuba and Peru.
Soviet delegates Arkady A. Sobolev, after wryly observing that two permanent members of the Security Council had “constrained” it from taking an action the majority agreed upon, then proposed that the council approve the resolution calling for withdrawal of Israeli forces from Egypt.
The vetoes arose in the Security Council which had been called into session to consider the Middle East crisis.

The chaplain also related that weekly services were once held on week days previous to the last war.

A certain time each week, Chaplain Neyman added, couldn't be set aside each week for all to attend because of SC's ixe.
Dean Raymond Kendall and Charles E. Hirt of the School of Music will provide music for the services.

Caine Courtmartial Scores Smash Hit
Bovard Audience Views Queeg Trial

Court room drama has not often been good theater fare in the past. The nature of drama demands a great deal of dialogue and little physical action or comic relief.
Yet almost every producer hides somewhere in his soul the desire to attempt at least one such play in his liidiime. An honest pioducer, £>oes sa\ing an innocent man while admitting the possibility of justify Greenwalds inhuman artistic motives, is quick to state . cross-examination of Queeg?

-k * + VIENNA — Soviet troops began a withdrawal from Budapest that will be completed this morning, Radio Budapest said last night. The broadcast followed announcement of a Hungarian Air force ultimatum threatening to bomb Red troops unless they left within 12 hours.
LONDON — Com mu n-i s t diplomats warned last night that “volunteers” from the Soviet Union and other Communist nations could be expected to go to the aid of Egypt in the Middle East if France and Britian send troops into the Suez Canal zone.
The-warning came as the min-
utes ticked out on an Anglo-French ultimatum to Egypt and Israel to cease fire or else the two western nations would intervene with military force.
LONDON — J o e s p li Cardinal Mindzenty is en route back to Budapest after being “liberated” by Hungarian Rebels, the official Hungarian news agency MTI said last night.

MOSCOW — Russia yesterday declared itself ready to discuss the withdrawal ol ad Soviet forces from Hungary, Poland' and Romania. It said the continued presence of Russian troops on Hungarian soil could lead to a “gi eater deterioration” of the situation in the revolt-torn country.
In a sweeping declaration on its relations witn its East European neighbors, Russia said it considered it “urgent” to discuss whether a “further stay of U.S.S.R. advisors in these countries is expedient.”
DT Staff Does Double Duties For HC Paper
Typewriters in the Daily Trojan City Room are singing a new song these days. They are heralding the third annual Homecoming edition of the Daily Trojan.
Like a boxer hungering for victory, reporters and photographers are beating out a multitude of features, articles and stories. Peter Synodis, Daily Trojan editor, said that the 20-page edition will present a pictorial and panoramic view of Trojan university life.
Today reporters are digging into little-known school departments, talking with unusual and colorful campus personalities and uncovering scientific and medical projects.
The special edition will be divided into two sections. The first section will include a large color picture of the Homecoming Queen and two photo pages devoted to float preparations and halftime activities during football games. Sports and society news will dominate the second section, and the last page will feature photos about Homecoming activities.
Nancy Cline and Jerry Burns, sales managers for the special edition, explained that the paper will go on sale Nov. 9 for 25 cents.
Miss Cline said, “This edition has been planned as an ideal souvenir of the 1956 Homecomings" Burns said that groups wishing to reserve large quantities of the paper should contact the Daily Trojan office to place orders, *

prosecution. The other, in
Greenvvald’s mind and conscience when he realizes victory and Maryk’s freedom hinge on whether he can prove the captain insane. Psychiatrists brought in by the prosecution have already established the captain's sanity.
The only thing left for Green-vvald is to badger and bait Captain Queeg (Victor Heyden) into revealing his own psychotic condition. This is a distasteful task for him since he feels ■sympathy for men who have become broken by doing their duty and protecting a nation unprepared in time of war.
