By Hungary Denies
He Violated Laws
. VIENNA, if)—Col. Welwyn F.
Dallam, U.S. air attache expelled
by the Hungarian government,
declared on arriving in Austria
yesterday the Communist charges
against him were “utterly ridicu
lous and completely untrue.”
Dallam drove in from Budapest |
in his own station wagon with his '
wife.
Dallam, of San Francisco, was
ordered expelled last Thursday
by Hungary’s Red government. It
accused him of photographing
Hungarian airfields and other
military installations and of
abusing Hungary’s hospitality.
The 39-year-old colonel told
reporters, “At no time did I ever
violate Hungarian laws or diplo
matic privileges.”
Dallam added that life for the
Hungarians was deplorable under
a reign of suppression and terror
waged by the Soviet installed
government of Premier Janos
Kadar. “It is a life in which peo
ple now are nearly scared to
death,” he said.

No Relief in Sight
From Forest Fires
In Interior Alaska
ANCHORAGE, —High winds
whipped fires over an estimated
500,000 acres of interior Alaska
forest land yesterady.
Russ Hanson, district fire dis
patcher here, said no relief is in
sight as hot, dry weather and
high winds continue in the terri
tory.
The Seattle weather bureau re
ported it was 74 in Fairbanks;
68 in Anchorage; 58 in Ketchikan;
56 in Juneau and 52 in Nome on
Monday, June 24. ,
Largest of the fires was a 100,
OOO-acre blaze near Sleetmute,
225 miles north of Anchorage. It
burned along a 10-mile front.
Winds spread it at a rate of
more than 1,000 acres an hour.
An attempt to fly in firefighting
tools to Kaltag on the Yukon
River some 350 miles northwest
of Anchorage failed because the
smoke of a fire there was so great
a landing could not be made.
Near McGrath, 300 miles north
west of Anchorage, numerous fires
covered 170,000 acres.
More than 30 fires were re
ported in the Fairbanks area, the
largest being a 50,000-acre blaze
near Beaver Creek.
