In spite of a recommendation by the Council to President Eis- enhower that there be main- tained a continuous flow of stu- dents through the schools andj colleges, the President is shortly expected to authorize a tokena cut in college draft deferments. The token nature of the cut, however, actually represents a victory for the Council's point of view.

"We admit the practical wisdom of the injunction that it is clearly the duty of universities and their members to cooperate in offi- cial investigations," the statement read.

In six straight days the Com- munist Air Force hurled an un- precedented 800 to 900 MIG fighters at U.S. Sabre jets along the Korean border in a stepped-up aerial war but the Reds were knocked back with shattering losses-36 destroyed, two probably shot down and 16 damaged.

Harrison Jr., re- mained in Tokyo yesterday for consultations with Gen. Mark. Clark, UN Far East commander. Long distance talks with Wash- ington were considered probable, although there was no an- nouncement to this effect. The talks are stalled over what to do with 48,500 Korean and Chi- nese prisoners who have told the UN Command they will not return voluntarily to their Communist homelands. The recess-called for "admin- istrative reasons" came during ott-spoken signs of dissatisfaction from Britain, Canada and India on the handling of the negotiations by U.S. truce delegates.
