He estimated at least 20,000 people had been killed in Budapest alone since Soviet forces began Reds Reject ' Medical Aid From West Relief Supplies Must Come to Country Via Yugoslavia . VIENNA (UP)-Hungary Com munists refused today to admit through the Austrian border West ern medical aid into Hungary for bleeding Budapest. Communist guards blocked an International Red Cross convoy of 15 trucks carrying food, medical supplies, doctors and nurses. They halted the convoy at the border crossing point at Klingenbach on the road to Sopron. The Reds flatly refused permis sion for the Red Cross unit to cross the frontier and said all Red Cross relief supplies must be channeled through Communist Vu goslavia. Refugees from the inflamed na tion told an appalling story of death and destruction, of fire and famine, of daring and desperation, Tell Of Armed Might The escapees from Hungary said popular support of the anti Communist revolt dwindled hour ly under the heavy pounding by Soviet armored forces and the lack of food and medicines. They said the rebels abandoned their last fortified positions lr blazing Budapest Wednesday aft ernoon and turned to hit-and-run guerrilla attacks with captured Russian arms and ammunition. Elek. Feher, former member of the Hungarian Parliament, said doctors and nurses told him be fore he fled Budapest Wednesday night, that at least 8.000 or 9.000 Hungarians have been killed in the fighting. Elek Feher is the name as sumed by the former official after his escape Irom Hungary. He asked that his real name not be used because of fear of retalia tion against his mother, who still lives in Budapest. An olficial of Hungary's anti Communist smallholders party ar rived in Vienna Friday with the first eye-witness account of the Budapest fighting to reach here ; inrn tact KtinHnV since last Sunday. He said many Russian troops ceased lire in silent mutiny early this week when they discovered Ihe "enemy" in Budapest was the Hungarian people and not Ameri can invaders, as they had been told. Some 200 Russian soldiers surrendered to Ihe rebels rather than continue fighting civilians, he said.

"The rebels are still so strong there that they go about Budapest in broad daylight carrying their guns," he said. "The insurgents are fighting desperately to hold out against the massive forces in the hope that United Nations forces will still come to help them." The Swedish informant, who al- so is a doctor, refused to give nis name lor quotation. The pro-Soviet government in Budapest was trying to win over rebel holdouts with promises to negotiate for Soviet troop with' drawal as soon as order returns. The declaration, broadcast by the government - controlled Buda pest radio, pledged that in bar gaining with the Soviet Union, Russian - Hungarian relations could be settled "on a basis of equality and national independj. ence. ' 'Retain Achievements' It promised the government of Premier Janos Kadar would re. tain the "achievements reached by the movement which started Oct. 23" the day Hungary's anti-Communist revolution flared The conclusions held out by the government indie ated Russian tanks and guns had failed to com' pletely stamp out rebel action. The appeal was broadcast in the wake of reports that rebels had blown up the great uranium mines near Pecs in southern Hungary, Hungarian refugees told Vienna newspapers the mines were so thoroughly dynamited the Rus sians will not be able to reopen them for a long time. The mines were a prime ob jective when the 'Russians moved in with their military might Sun day to crush the revolt. The reb-! els had demanded that Hungary stop handing over uranium to the Soviet Union. Still la Strike Grip Tht Budapest broadcast also made it apparent Hungary was still in the grip of a paralyzing general strike. The statement, purportedly sanctioned by both the govern ment and Hungary's Communist party, appealed to workers to go back to their jobs. It said if this was not done, Hungary was threatened by inflation and a col lapse of her economy. The government made an es pecially urgent appeal to railway employes to return to work. "The population is cold and hungry while hundreds of railway cars with food and coal are wait ing at the Hungarian border," the appeal added. Coast Guard Hunts Plane HAMILTON. Bermuda - The U. S.

President Elsenhow er said he preferred to approach international crises through tha United Nations. But the White House did not rule out an ultimate meeting at the summit ' of either the Big. Three or the Five powers. Current Attitude Advisers to the President said the current White House attitude is simply this: "The United States government is not going to move outside of the United Nations." Mr. Eisenhower sent a message to Markus Feldmann, president of the Swiss Confederation at Berne, thanking him for the Swiss pro posal for a five-power meeting. The President explained that he thought the best interests of world peace could be served in the United Nations.
