Torture Us Told (In New York, Paul Ruedemann. I Standard Oil company of New Jersey executive who was expelled bv Hungary in Sentember. 1948. after signing a sabotage confes sion, commented: ". . . in Hungary today a man can be forced to 'confess' because he sees nothing else to do. He is confined f 1 a dungeon with no hope of getting out unless he does con fess. He is deprived of food and water, questioned constantly, brought to such mental and physi cal exhaustion that anything even poison seems better than what he is going through." The trial lasted only three days It was held in the same court room where Cardinal Mlndszenty confessed to plotting against the state and where former Vice Pre mier Raik doomed himself by con fessing to treason. The same pros ecutor, Alapi, conducted those tri als. The same presiding Judge, Ol thy, sentenced Mindszenty to life imprisonment. Calmly and unemotionally Voge ler told the court last week that he was a professional agent work ing out of U.S. Army Intelligence headquarters in Vienna.

(Sosthenes Behn, chairman of the board of I. T. and T., issued a statement in New York last week saying the charges against Vogeler were "fantastic in the extreme and totally untrue." He expressed the belief that the confessions bv Voge ler and Sanders "could only have been made under circumstances of extreme duress, coercion and threata.") Voctler's arrest last Nov. 18 as he was leaving Budapest for Vienna strained dinlomatic reltions be tween the United States and Hun gary. Protesting the fact that Vogeler was held incommunicado for three months without being allowed to see American diplomatic represen tatives, the State department or dered two Hungarian consulates closed in the U.S. and banned Am erican travel to Hungary.
