Hungarian Battle Rages; UN Debates Middle East
By I'nited Press
VIENNA — Stiffened Hungarian resistance forced the invading Russian Army last night to make new appeals lo the Nationalists to lay down their arms.
The die-hard Freedom Fighters answered by making a series of broadcast appeals to the West to parachute arms, ammunition, and medical supplies into the Nationalist Stronghold.
* * *
Ll'XEMBI RG—Demonstrators invaded the Soviet Embassy last night and sent furniture and caviar laid out for a reception flying through the windows.
Five thousand persons chanting “murderers" and “barbarian*’’ and shouting their sympathy tor the Freedom Fighters of Hungary marched on the embassy, which was deck-e’d out for a So\ iet revolution celebration.
Anti-Soviet demonstrations were also reported in Belgium, Sweden and Norway.
WASHINGTON — The United Stales warned yesterday that violation of Austria’s borders would bring “a grave threat” to world peace.
The warning was aimed at j Russian forces crushing the re- 1 bell ion in Hungary, next door j to Austria.
JERUSALEM—Israeli-Egyp-tion shooting ended last night.
Israeli officials announced that fighting had stopped in the Sinai Peninsula and Israeli forces had been ordered to observe the cease-fire.
Prime Minister David Ben Gurion described the Israeli ! Sinai campaign as “the largest j and most brilliant military feat ever accomplished by the Jewish people and one of the outstanding military fears ever performed by any nation.”
* + ■¥
CAIRO — Saudi Arabia announced yesterday it was break- j ing diplomatic relations with ! France and Britain and sending l troops into Jordan. _ |
“In view of the unprovoked Anglo-French aggression on our sister Egypt.” the broadcast said, “the Saudi government has decided to sever all relations with the governments of Britain and France.”

LONDON—Britain announced that a cease-fire went into effect early today in the Middle Eastern war zone.
There was no immediate report from Egypt whether the fighting actually had stopped.
Egypt had replied to the British-French order for a cease-fire with a pledge to fight on until the last foreign soldier was expelled.

the Innocent People of Egypt,” j "Britain, France, and Israel Leave Egypt,” and “Afro-Asian j Students Demand Stop Aggression in Egypt.”
A crowd of more than 100 people gathered to watch the picketing students, many shouting insults and making cat calls.
Police stood by at the scene to prevent any violence from starting between the picketers j and the chiding crowd, but the j demonstration remained orderly. !
The pickets arrived in front of the consulate at 1:30 p.m. J and continued their protest until j shortly after 3 p.m.

Chancellor To Conduct Institute
“Democracy on Trial; The j Challenge of Coexistence” will be the theme of the Institute of ’ World Affairs under the leader-shop of Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid.
The Institute will convene at | the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel for four days of sessions begin- , ning Dec. 9 in celebration of the j 30th year since its founding at the Riverside Mission Inn.
The Riverside Mission Inn will be unavailable this year due to alterations.
“Although the Institute pass- j es no resolutions, or petitions national bodies, it is designed for the purpose of serious stu dv in problems involved in international relations,’’ the Chancellor said.
He continued, “We believe that a better understanding of world problems will lead lo universal goodwill and world peace.”
Authorities in the various fields of education, civic groups and government are included among institute participants.
Congresswoman Marguerite Stitt Church of Illinois has accepted Chancellor von Klein-Smid’s invitation to speak on “Does American Foreign Aid Promote Democracy?” As a member of the Foreign Aftairs Committee she has made special studies of areas in Southeastern Asia.
The daily program during the three week days will begin at 9 a.m. with three morning addresses followed by six round- I table discussions. Two evening addresses are open to the public.
Special student rates will be available according to Professor j Paul E. Hadley, executive secretary. There will be no charge for j the opening Sunday evening sessions. 1
stander said. He failed to carry out his threat, however.
British Information Officer Maurice V. Miller voiced a curt “no comment” when asked about the student protest. "I did notice the students outside the consulate when I came in at 1:30 Ip.m.l, but they were gone by 2:30 (p.m.)," the information officer said.
The picketing action came as j the result of a special protest meeting held at noon yesterday at the YWCA.
Circulate Petition
The students launched their formal protest earlier this week by voting to circulate a petition renouncing the British, French, I and Israeli invasion of Egyptian soil.
Yesterday’s meeting, attended by students from Kwait. Bahrein, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, and the U.S.. brought new decisions and a continued plan of action to gain student support of the petition.
The Afro-Asian group agreed to stage a one-sided rally later this week in Founders Hall, featuring speakers and political skits, “as a means of gaining much-needed support for our l petition.” said Dick Folta, publicity chairman for the group.
World War Threat
Folta expressed alarm at “the apathy of the American students j and of their government in a , situation which may very w^ell i evolve into a third World War.’ |
He emphasized that the petition will be circulated throughout the rest of the week at a table located outside the Student Union. He urged the students to support the issue by signing the petition.
Over 2000 persons—including more than 100 members of the Trojan Young Republicans — crowded Biltmore Hotel Ballroom last night and heard Adlai Stevenson capitulate the election to President Dwight Eisenhower at 10:26 p.m.
The happy gathering was covered by newsreels and television. KTTV carried the proceedings "live,” and the camera several times showed members of the TYR leading SC yells.
I.auds TYR In a speech just before Stevenson's admission of defeat. Dr. Robert F. Craig, professor of business law at SC and president of the Calilornia Republican Assembly, said, “All of California is proud that the younger generation, and particularly students from SC, helped bring victory again to the Eisenhower team.”
Craig predicted in a June, 1956. edition of the Daily Trojan that Senator Kuchel would win by almost the exact margin he did over Richard Richards in the California senatorial race.
Sporty Dresses Mary Snyder, wife of the executive director of the Trojan Young Republicans. Arthur Snyder, was one of the many SC women wearing “I Like Ike" dresses.
All evening, the ardent Republicans at the Biltmore were wearing “We Won buttons three inches in diameter. The buttons had bright red letters on a white background. The buttons were supplied by the TYR. who, in great confidence, had them made up three weeks ago.
In sharp contrast, there was nothing but gloom and silence in the Stevenson headquarter*.

Tickets for Trolios and the Homecoming Dance are on sale in front of the Student I nion. They are priced at $1.00 for Trolios and S3.00 per couple for the Dance. The ticket booth will be open from 8 p.m. to 3 p.m. daily and Bill Jackson, ticket sales chairmen, urged students to purchase the ducats as soon as possible, a.s he expects the limited number of tickets to be sold out very shortly.
These tickets may also be purchased from representatives in the various on-eam-pus organizations and living groups.
Debaters Sweep Top Awards At L. A. City College Tourney
Three Trojan debate teams garnered top awards at the Los Angeles City College debate tournament last weekend.
Freshman Abe Somer and sophomore Paul Sonnenburg, debating in the lower division men's category, received an award for being undefeated in four debates on “Resolved, that the United States should dis- j continue economic aid to foreign countries.”
Awards for superior debating were presented to two Sc, , teams. Mike Miller and Lou j Carline were one of three teams receiving the award in upper division men's competi- j tion. Maxine Karpman and j Francine Lane were the only superior award w inners in up- | per division women's competition. i
Upper division teams that won half of their debates include Jo Ann Reynolds—Walt Gribbon. Miller—Carlino, Ken Fager—John FitzRandolph. and Lillian Kim —Shirley Shubin.
Lower division teams that were victorious in three out of four debates were Clara Haber-bosch—Jo Weidman and Judy Orlick—Marilyn Zilstra.
Winning half of their debates were lower division teams Ken Silk—Harold Kachigian and Al Posner—Jerry Whitemore.
This tournament, in combination with The Santa Barbara individual events tournament last weekend, serve as practice contests for the Western States Championship Tournament to he held at Stockton. Calif., from Nov. 28 to December 1.
EST.
The president tucked 41 states in his political pocket, giving him 459 electoral votes. This is 93 votes more than needed and six times the number racked up by Adlai Stevenson.
Stevenson conceded victory to President Eisenhower at 12:51 a.m., FIST. By then Eisenhower had definitely won 21 states with 245 electoral votes, more than the 266 needed for victory.
Good Luck “You have won not only the election but also an expression of the great confidence of the American people.” said Stevenson in a telegram to the president. "We apreciate the grave difficulties your administration faces, and as Americans we join in wishing you success in the year* ahead.”
California cast her 32 electoral votes for Eisenhower after a record smashing 90 per cent turn out at the polls with more than six million votes cast.
Return Ticket The nip and tuck battle between two SC alumni for California's senatprial seat ended in a squeaky victory for incumbent Thomas Kuchel. Facing a determined challenge by 39-v ear-old Richard Richards, Kuchel won his return ticket by a margin of 50,000 votes—562.681 for Kuchel, 492,311 for Richards.
Venomously fought Proposi : tion 4 was soundly trounced at ; the polis where it was smasii-; ingly defeated—305.790 to 99.-j 232—better than three-to-cne. ! All three of the bond issues on j the ballot won.
Democratic Congress Eisenhower’s political magic was not rubbing off on Congressional candidates. Heavily fought races for the 432 seats in the House of Representatives resulted in 127 sure seats for the Democrats and 57 sewed up by the Republicans.
As of midnight yesterday. Republicans led in 118 races while Democrats blazed ahead in 53. The status quo gives Democrats a total of 180 seats and Republicans a roster of 175.
A Democratic controlled Senate was elected last night when nine Democratic Senators were elected and nine others led in their races. Republicans gained six Senatorial positions and led in 11 others.
History Repeats With 30 Republican and 31 Democratic holdovers, this point* to a Senate possibly consisting of 47 Republicans and 49 Demo-! crats.
Final outcome up to 2 a.m., EST showed Democratic control of both House and Senate by slim margins. Only once in U.S. history—108 years ago—did the voters elect a president of one party and both houses of Congress of another.
Connecticut, the first state to be determined, put Eisenhower solidly out in front. Further indications of a landslide came in Eisenhower’s victories in the “Solid South” where he bagged Texas, Florida. Virginia. Tennessee and Louisiana. Only two of these states—Florida and V irginia —cast their ballots for the president in 1952.
Only Seven States Stevenson’s victory was limited to seven states: Alabama, Georgia. Mississippi, South Carolina. Illinois. Michigan and Massachusetts.
Even in carrying Alabama the Democratic aspirant lost two big cities of the deep South, Mobile and Montgomery. Memphis. Tennessee. was in the Republican column for the first time since the post-Civil War reconstruction era.
Kentucky, W’est Virginia and Oklahoma, normally religiously Democratic, pointed up the breadth of the Eisenhower landslide by falling into the Republican columns.

The pickets arrived in front of the consulate at 1:30 p.m. J and continued their protest until j shortly after 3 p.m. The only incident reported Chancellor To Conduct Institute “Democracy on Trial; The j Challenge of Coexistence” will be the theme of the Institute of ’ World Affairs under the leader-shop of Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid. The Institute will convene at the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel for four days of sessions begin- , ning Dec. 9 in celebration of the j 30th year since its founding at the Riverside Mission Inn. The Riverside Mission Inn will be unavailable this year due to alterations. “Although the Institute pass- j es no resolutions, or petitions national bodies, it is designed for the purpose of serious stu dv in problems involved in international relations,’’ the Chancellor said. He continued, “We believe that a better understanding of world problems will lead lo universal goodwill and world peace.” Authorities in the various fields of education, civic groups and government are included among institute participants. Congresswoman Marguerite Stitt Church of Illinois has accepted Chancellor von Klein-Smid’s invitation to speak on “Does American Foreign Aid Promote Democracy?” As a member of the Foreign Aftairs Committee she has made special studies of areas in Southeastern Asia. The daily program during the three week days will begin at 9 a.m. with three morning addresses followed by six round- I table discussions. Two evening addresses are open to the public. Special student rates will be available according to Professor j Paul E. Hadley, executive secretary. There will be no charge for j the opening Sunday evening sessions. 1 stander said. He failed to carry out his threat, however. British Information Officer Maurice V. Miller voiced a curt “no comment” when asked about the student protest. "I did notice the students outside the consulate when I came in at 1:30 Ip.m.l, but they were gone by 2:30 (p.m.)" the information officer said. The picketing action came as j the result of a special protest meeting held at noon yesterday at the YWCA. Circulate Petition The students launched their formal protest earlier this week by voting to circulate a petition renouncing the British, French, I and Israeli invasion of Egyptian soil. Yesterday’s meeting, attended by students from Kwait. Bahrein, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, and the U.S.. brought new decisions and a continued plan of action to gain student support of the petition. The Afro-Asian group agreed to stage a one-sided rally later this week in Founders Hall, featuring speakers and political skits, “as a means of gaining much-needed support for our l petition.” said Dick Folta, publicity chairman for the group. World War Threat Folta expressed alarm at “the apathy of the American students j and of their government in a , situation which may very w^ell i evolve into a third World War.’ He emphasized that the petition will be circulated throughout the rest of the week at a table located outside the Student Union. He urged the students to support the issue by signing the petition. Over 2000 persons—including more than 100 members of the Trojan Young Republicans — crowded Biltmore Hotel Ballroom last night and heard Adlai Stevenson capitulate the election to President Dwight Eisenhower at 10:26 p.m. The happy gathering was covered by newsreels and television. KTTV carried the proceedings "live,” and the camera several times showed members of the TYR leading SC yells. I.auds TYR In a speech just before Stevenson's admission of defeat. Dr. Robert F. Craig, professor of business law at SC and president of the Calilornia Republican Assembly, said, “All of California is proud that the younger generation, and particularly students from SC, helped bring victory again to the Eisenhower team.” Craig predicted in a June, 1956. edition of the Daily Trojan that Senator Kuchel would win by almost the exact margin he did over Richard Richards in the California senatorial race. Sporty Dresses Mary Snyder, wife of the executive director of the Trojan Young Republicans. Arthur Snyder, was one of the many SC women wearing “I Like Ike" dresses. All evening, the ardent Republicans at the Biltmore were wearing “We Won buttons three inches in diameter. The buttons had bright red letters on a white background. The buttons were supplied by the TYR. who, in great confidence, had them made up three weeks ago. In sharp contrast, there was nothing but gloom and silence in the Stevenson headquarter*.

They are priced at $1.00 for Trolios and S3.00 per couple for the Dance. The ticket booth will be open from 8 p.m. to 3 p.m. daily and Bill Jackson, ticket sales chairmen, urged students to purchase the ducats as soon as possible, a.s he expects the limited number of tickets to be sold out very shortly. These tickets may also be purchased from representatives in the various on-eam-pus organizations and living groups. Debaters Sweep Top Awards At L. A. City College Tourney Three Trojan debate teams garnered top awards at the Los Angeles City College debate tournament last weekend. Freshman Abe Somer and sophomore Paul Sonnenburg, debating in the lower division men's category, received an award for being undefeated in four debates on “Resolved, that the United States should dis- j continue economic aid to foreign countries.” Awards for superior debating were presented to two Sc, , teams. Mike Miller and Lou j Carline were one of three teams receiving the award in upper division men's competi- j tion. Maxine Karpman and j Francine Lane were the only superior award w inners in up- per division women's competition. i Upper division teams that won half of their debates include Jo Ann Reynolds—Walt Gribbon. Miller—Carlino, Ken Fager—John FitzRandolph. and Lillian Kim —Shirley Shubin. Lower division teams that were victorious in three out of four debates were Clara Haber-bosch—Jo Weidman and Judy Orlick—Marilyn Zilstra. Winning half of their debates were lower division teams Ken Silk—Harold Kachigian and Al Posner—Jerry Whitemore. This tournament, in combination with The Santa Barbara individual events tournament last weekend, serve as practice contests for the Western States Championship Tournament to he held at Stockton. Calif., from Nov. 28 to December 1. EST. The president tucked 41 states in his political pocket, giving him 459 electoral votes. This is 93 votes more than needed and six times the number racked up by Adlai Stevenson. Stevenson conceded victory to President Eisenhower at 12:51 a.m., FIST. By then Eisenhower had definitely won 21 states with 245 electoral votes, more than the 266 needed for victory. Good Luck “You have won not only the election but also an expression of the great confidence of the American people.” said Stevenson in a telegram to the president. "We apreciate the grave difficulties your administration faces, and as Americans we join in wishing you success in the year* ahead.” California cast her 32 electoral votes for Eisenhower after a record smashing 90 per cent turn out at the polls with more than six million votes cast. Return Ticket The nip and tuck battle between two SC alumni for California's senatprial seat ended in a squeaky victory for incumbent Thomas Kuchel. Facing a determined challenge by 39-v ear-old Richard Richards, Kuchel won his return ticket by a margin of 50,000 votes—562.681 for Kuchel, 492,311 for Richards. Venomously fought Proposi : tion 4 was soundly trounced at ; the polis where it was smasii-; ingly defeated—305.790 to 99.-j 232—better than three-to-cne. ! All three of the bond issues on j the ballot won. Democratic Congress Eisenhower’s political magic was not rubbing off on Congressional candidates. Heavily fought races for the 432 seats in the House of Representatives resulted in 127 sure seats for the Democrats and 57 sewed up by the Republicans. As of midnight yesterday. Republicans led in 118 races while Democrats blazed ahead in 53. The status quo gives Democrats a total of 180 seats and Republicans a roster of 175. A Democratic controlled Senate was elected last night when nine Democratic Senators were elected and nine others led in their races. Republicans gained six Senatorial positions and led in 11 others. History Repeats With 30 Republican and 31 Democratic holdovers, this point* to a Senate possibly consisting of 47 Republicans and 49 Demo-! crats. Final outcome up to 2 a.m., EST showed Democratic control of both House and Senate by slim margins. Only once in U.S. history—108 years ago—did the voters elect a president of one party and both houses of Congress of another. Connecticut, the first state to be determined, put Eisenhower solidly out in front. Further indications of a landslide came in Eisenhower’s victories in the “Solid South” where he bagged Texas, Florida. Virginia. Tennessee and Louisiana. Only two of these states—Florida and V irginia —cast their ballots for the president in 1952. Only Seven States Stevenson’s victory was limited to seven states: Alabama, Georgia. Mississippi, South Carolina. Illinois. Michigan and Massachusetts. Even in carrying Alabama the Democratic aspirant lost two big cities of the deep South, Mobile and Montgomery. Memphis. Tennessee. was in the Republican column for the first time since the post-Civil War reconstruction era. Kentucky, W’est Virginia and Oklahoma, normally religiously Democratic, pointed up the breadth of the Eisenhower landslide by falling into the Republican columns.
