and several factory railways were
in operation. "The people who
went back to work love money,”
grumbled a striker outside the
gate. He referred to a Budapest
radio warning that only those
would receive wages who actually
worked.
“But we estimate that only 20
percent are still working,” anoth
er added. “The others won’t re

Except for the work stoppages,
Budapest appeared quiet up to

a threat to dismiss thousands of
workers if coal miners who have ,
stayed away from the pits since

increasing danger of inflation, the
government can no longer bear
the responsibility of paying idle
factory workers.

gime. One such said industry

Real Reindeer Rest,
Let Mule Deer Do
Christmas Season Stint
PITTSBURGH, 0?)— Otto and
Helga, two genuine Lapland rein
deer, are at the Highland Park
Zoo today and have a couple of
sland-ins for the Christmas sea
son—two mule deer.
Otto and Helga were -brought
here by thd Mellon Bank, which
planned to display them thru the
Christmas season in the -bank ro
tunda. But one day was enough
for the reindeer, bank officials
said. The big crowds made the
deer nervous and they were put
in comparatively isolated quar
ters at the zoo for a while.
The bank quickly replaced the
reindeer with the mule deer pnd
assured children they’re “much
more sophisticated” than Otto
and Helga, anyway.

4. Internal development of

Von Brentano had warned the
council that if Hungary’s revolu
tion fever spread to Communist
East Germany, nobody could tell
how big Ue blowup would be.
But he toned down his warning
with the observation that 22 Rus
sian divisions stand ready to
smash any German uprising* in
the east.
Jolt From Dulles
The NATO council also got a
jolt from U.S. Secretary of State
Dplles, who told the ministers
America reserves the right to act
alone in certain parts of the
world without consulting NATO.
Dulles' warning put America in
the position of having upbraided
its two closest allies—Britain and
France—for attacking Egypt
without consulting other nations
while reserving for the United
States the right to do much the
same thing.
