Red Hungarian Government Tries
To Lure Rebels With Food Promises
U. S. Proposes Middle East and
By WILLIAM F. RYAN
VIENNA UP—Hungary’s Soviet
imposed government offered food
rations Saturday as a lure to Hun
garians to work in Budapest, now
facing the twin threats of hunger
and disease.
At the same time, President Ist
van Dobi issued a presidential
council order invoking the death
penalty for such crimes as mur
der, looting, and arson. Radio Bu
dapest appealed repeatedly to get
back on their jobs. But only a tiny
proportion of them, even by offi
cial estimate, responded.
'A Warm Meal'
The government said that each
worker who returned would be
given a package of food, bread
rations, a bonus and an advance
on his wages. By next week, it
said, they might even have the
prospect of “a warm meal."
Fear of epidemics was evident
in the wake of three weeks of
bitter fighting. The broadcasts
urged the public to take every
precaution in the use of what food
was availbale, report infectious
diseases, bum trash and take san
itary precautions.
The Russians, whose military
attacks against the Hungarian re
bellion have all but crushed the
armed resistance, now promise
medicine to combat what Soviet
policy had wrought. The radio
said 10 Soviet planes with medi
cine arrived in the capital.
Red Cross Blocked
But in spite of the urgent need
for medical supplies, Hungarian
and Soviet border guards barred
entry from the Austrian frontier
to an International Red Cross
convoy of 15 cars, trucks and am
bulances.
A convoy of Danish Red Cross
vehicles had the same experience
Thursday at the Heiligemkruez
border point. Janos Kadar’s pup
pet regime insists such conveys ,
can enter Hungary only thru
Communist Yugoslavia.
Western Relief Refused
Similarly, the Communists havp
refused to admit the hundreds of
tons of Western relief supplies
piling up in Austria for the Hun
garians since the start of the crisis.
The puppet government and the
Communist Party promised to ne
gotiate for the withdrawal of So
viet troops from Hungary as soon
as order was re-established. But,
at least in the capital, fighting
continued and the general strike
kept the nation’s economy para
lyzed.

Mimlszenty Asks
U.N. Aid Today,
VIENNA, Austria —'“What we
need is that the secretary general
of the United Nations come to
Budapest today and not tomor
row. There has been much too
much voting and oratory. What
I we need is action now."
That was Josef Cardinal Mind
szenty, Roman Catholic prince
primate of Hungary, speaking. He
was interviewed by Western re
porters in Budapest Nov. 4—the 1
day the Russians laid siege to Bu
dapest. The story was bottled up
there for lack of communications
until yesterday. j
The cardinal said Hungary
could expect only "greater op
pression if the United Nation’s
does not save us.”
“Far quicker and more effective
steps are needed,” he went on. “A
man who is drowning needs no
messages.”
Cardinal Mindszenty, freed
from his Communist captors Oct.
30, was interviewed just before
taking refuge in the U.S. embassy j
in Budapest, where he remains. I
He said he had “suffered torture )
in body and soul” at the hands of I
the secret police.

Hungarians at
Olympics Tear
Down Red Flag
MELBOURNE, Australia, tfl—
Two Hungarian athletes ripped
down their country’s Communistic
flag in the Olympic Village today
and raised their traditional flag
—a home-made one that carried
an added band of black in mourn
ing.
Hungarian Olympic officials
were on their way to make a
peaceful substitution of the tradi
tional Hungarian flag—red, white
and green with the Kossuth crest
—when the two athletes went into
action.
The flag with the mourning
band flew only for a minute or
two before it was lowered and
the Hungarian flag, minus Com
munistic or other emblems, was
raised.
The athletes here, many of
whom fought as rebels against
Russian troops, had vowed yester
day that they would not compete
under the Hungarian Communist
emblem.
