Eisenhower Says U.S. Will Oppose
Intervention in Egypt by Volunteers
From Russia or Communist China
WASHINGTON, Wt—•President*
Eisenhower said today the United
States would oppose—probably
thru the United Nations—any in
tervention in Egypt by Soviet or
Chinese Communist volunteers.
The President left up in the air
just what form such opposition
might take.
He told a news conference, his
first since re-election, that the na
ture of such opposition would de
pend on the specific circumstanc
es of any intervention.
There have been reports that
up to 50,000 Soviet volunteers
were ready to move into the Midi
die East if Moscow should give
the word.
(In Moscow today an Arab
source said Egypt’s ambassador,
Mohammed El Kony, had been
instructed by his government to
request the immediate dispatch of
Soviet “volunteers” to Egypt. It
was taken for granted the Krem
lin would put no obstacles in the
way of the volunteers’ leaving.)
A week ago, the White House
issued a statement saying that the
introduction of any new armed
forces into Egypt “would violate
the United Nations Charter, and
it would be the duty of all mem
bers ... to oppose any such such
effort.”
In the light of that statement,
Eisenhower was asked today wh^t
form U.S. opposition would take
under such circumstances.
He replied it was impossible for
him to say at this point.
Then he commented that the
U-N. is not restricted, as he put it,
to adoption of resolutions.
The President added that he
was not going to say the United
States would make a unilateral
determination—that is a decision
by itself—about how to handle
such intervention.
The President said there was
one case in which the U.N. did
more than pass a resolution. Al
tho he did not say so, Eisenhower
presumably was referring to U.N.
intervention in Korea.
The President expressed hope
and confidence the current crisis
in the Middle East and in Hun
gary can be settled thru the U.N.
He also said he believes that
once those situations have been
resolved, U.S. relations with Brit
ain and France will be stronger
than ever.

Mrs. Tobeler said she didn’t get

husband, Paul, a wealthy indus
trialist.
"She called me horrible names,”

Russians Deport
Hungarians East
In Sealed Trains
VIENNA, Uf>—Radio Budapest
said today Hungarians were being
deported to the east in sealed
railway cars toy Russian troops
trying to end the rebellion in
Hungary and get the workers
back to work.
The Budapest station, controlled
by the Russian-imposed govern
ment of Premier Janos Kadar,
made the surprising admission in
a broadcast explaining why the
general strike was continuing.
Reporting on the situation late
today in Szolnok County southeast
of Budapest, the radio reported
about 40 percent of the workers
had returned to work and that
some rail traffic had started.
“But,” the station added, “ac
cording to the latest reports, pris
oners have been transplanted to
the east in locked railway cars
and for that reason the railway
men started to strike again.”
The station added that various
plants had been notified of the
deportation of Hungarians and
that “workers, therefore, now are
leaving their jobs in increasing
numbers."
Rumors the Russians were
rounding up rebellious youths for
deportation have circulated on the
Austrian border for several days.
The Vienna newspaper Der
Kurier quoted Hungarian refu
gees as reporting the Russians
! also have started deporting the
1 wives and children of rebels in
order to stamp out the last vestig
es of the anti-Communist revolu
tion.
Air Force Secretary Says
Russia Is Turning Out
Long-Range Jet Bombers
WASHINGTON, Mi—Secretary
of the Air Force Quarles said to
day that long-range jet bombers,
“capable of delivering atomic
weapons on our homeland,” are
coming off Soviet production
lines.
Large Russian fleets of ad
vanced jet fighters and light
bombers already are in operation,
he added in an address before the
American Assn, of Land-Grant
Colleges and State Universities.
He said, too, that “the Soviets
are capable of building atomic
weapons at an imposing rate”
and in view of Russian claims
about developing ocean-spanning
missiles “we must assume they
will be able to deliver nuclear
warheads with disastrous accur
acy.”
Relief Supplies
For Hungary Glut
Red Cross Depots
By WATSON SIMS
LONDON, UP*—A veteran wel
fare worker looked at the small
mountain of Hungarian relief sup
plies blocking the Red Cross of
fice in London and shook her head
in wonder.
“It has been a long time since
England saw anything like this,”
she said. “Certainly not since the
east coast floods of 1953.”
Throughout western Europe,
welfare workers are telling the
same story. The free world, they
say, is sending the shirt off its
back and the ring off its finger to
help Hungarian refugees and oth
er victims of last week’s Russian
repression.
More than $10 million in money
has been given or pledged in vol
untary contributions, and the
amount is rising by the hour.
Thousands of tons of medicine,
food, clothing and other supplies
have already been sent to Buda
pest or points along the Hungar
ian border. A vast backlog of ad
ditional supplies is clogging relief
depots thruout west Europe.
Dozens of organizations, rang
ing from state governments to ele
mentary school classes, have
pledged assistance to the wounded
and homeless in the revolt-torn
nation and to the refugees fleeing
across her borders.
Twelve nations have promised
asylum to more than 28,000 refu
gees. In Belgium alone, welfare
workers say the number of offers
to adopt Hungarian children ex
ceeds the total number of those
who have escaped the country.

South Asia Nations
Denounce Soviet
Action in Hungary
NEW DELHI, India, WV—The
Prime Ministers of India, Burma,
Indonesia and Ceylon called in a
joint communique today for the
speedy withdrawal of Soviet forc
es from Hungary.
They also voiced “strong disap
proval and distress at the aggres
sion and intervention by the great
powers against weaker countries”
in the Middle East.
The communique was issued
after a three-day conference con
vened at the suggestion of Indo
nesia to consider Israel’s attack
on Egypt and British-French op
erations in the Suez Canal zone.
The final text, however, by men
tioning “the great powers," could
be taken to apply to Russia as
well.
Reminding the world that these
south Asian Prime Ministers rep
resent 475 million persons, the
communique said of Hungary:
“They regret that Soviet forces,
which had been withdrawn in ac
cordance with the policy laid
down in the statement issued by
the government of the Soviet
Union on Oct. 30, were reintro
duced into Budapest a few days
later. The Prime Ministers con- ,
sider it the inalienable right of
every country to shape for itself
its own destiny, free from all ex
ternal pressures. i
“They are of the opinion that
the Soviet forces should be with- j
drawn from Hungary speedily, ]
and that the Hungarian people i
should be left free to decide their
own future and form of govern- ]
ment they will have without in- i
tervention from any quarter.”
' By nanuLu a. niLaa
MOSCOW, iff*—An Arab source
said today Egyptian Ambassador
Mohammed El Kony has been in
structed by his government to re
quest the immediate dispatch of
Soviet "volunteers” to Egypt.
The Soviet government has
said it would permit Soviet citi
zens who volunteered for service
to the Middle East to go there if
their presence was requested. It
was taken for granted the Krem
lin would put no obstacles in the
way of the volunteers’ departure.
El Kony said this week more
than 50,000 Soviet citizens had
applied for permission to fight for
Egypt.
The report that Egypt has now
asked for Soviet volunteers came
as U.N. police units marked time
at their assembly base in Italy
before going on to the Suez Canal
zone to patrol a cease-fire.
Egypt has been demanding im
mediate departure of all Israeli
and French-British troops from
Egypt, and insisting that the U.N.
police army have no part in con
trol of the Suez Canal. This has
run counter to the stated inten
tions of the Israelis and the Brit
ish and French.
Reports that Egyptian President
Nasser would decline to allow
U.N. police troops to remain in
Egypt, except on the 1949 Israeli
Egyptian armistice line, and then
only so long as Egypt should de
cide, had been interpreted by
Western sources in Moscow as
bringing the possibility that So
viet “volunteers” would pour into
the Middle East.
Thus could be started a situa
tion something like Korea, when
Red China’s “volunteers” went to
the relief of North Korea’s Com
munist regime.
“If Nasser won’t permit the
U.N. to take over the canal zone
it’s unlikely the British and
FTench forces will pull out,” one
Western diplomatic source said
last night. “And if the British and
French don’t pull out the Soviet
Union is already committed to
send its volunteers to help Egypt
kick them out. It looks like an
other vicious circle.”
