About 700 carloads a day nor mally pour into New York alone. A White House statement issued by James C.

South Salem Water District Hearing Set A public hearing in connection with a proposal to form a sani tary district in South Salem will be held at the court house at 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 3. The county court, before which the hearing will be held, fixed the date. The hearing will be in connec tion with a preliminary engineer ing study made by County Engi neer John Anderson. The survey stems from heavy rains of last winter which resulted in the flood ing of many septic tanks of the area. Anderson estimates that actual construction of the district will take at least a year. Before con struction can get under way there are certain legal requirements which will consume several months. The Dec. 3 hearing is the first of several legal steps that must be taken. Weather Details Maximum ynterdiy, 45; minimum today. 23. Total 24-hotir prlplttlon: .01; for month: 1.03; normal, 3.5.1.

Hammarskjold talked with Nas ser and other Egyptian leaders for three days about the duties of the new U.N. police force, which now has more than 500 men stand ing by at a base in the canal zone, and other details of the cease-fire the General Assembly ordered 11 days ago between the Egyptians and British, French and Israeli troops. There was no indication the Egyptians had modified their de mand for speedy withdrawal of all foreign troops and stationing of theil.N. forces only at points on the old 1948 armistice line between Egypt and Israel. Sabry said Egypt expects the withdrawal to begin during the coming week if possible, without waiting for the U.N. troops to take over. One of the British-French condi tions in agreeing to the cease-fire was that the U.N. police force should be competent lo "secure and supervise" reopening of the canal. They have made clear they expect the U.N. troops to take over occupation of the canal when they pull their own forces out.

Wl Soviet Foreign Minister Shepilov warned Monday that any move lo send a U.N. police force to Hun gary will "endanger" peace., Nnn-CiMiiinumsls Blamed Shepilov, in a 6,000-word speech on the Hungarian problem, blamed the non-Communist world, special ly the United Stales, for the Hun garian uprising. He said the sit uation was rapidly returning to normal and insisted the U.N. should keep out. The Soviet foreign minister ad dressed the 79-nation General As sembly after Hungarian Foreign Minister Imre Horvath had blast ed the United States for allegedly inspiring the rebellion. Both Shepilov and Horvath de nied that any deportations were being carried out by the Russians. They protested against any U.N. debate on a Cuban resolution call ing for an end of the reported deportations. Deportations 'Myth' Shepilov called the deportations "a myth" and "a slanderous fab rication aimed al poisoning the in ternational atmosphere." He said those who wont the U.N. to intervene in the Hungar ian situation are recommending "in effect that the struggle asainst the people's democratic system in Hungary, '.shotua.pe kindled anew." . "That, is (he only possible inter pretation of the irresponsible ap peals-'to' send a United Nations police force to Hungary, which have been made here," he said "The authors of those proposals refuse to understand that such measures, far from strengthening peace, can only endanger it. Hungarian delegate Endre Sik told the Assembly that tne report ed deportations were "invented by counter-revolutionary circles" to create distrust in the govern ment of Janos Kadar. Arrest Acknowledged They acknowledged that arrests had been made in an effort to re store order, but sa't! "not one of the persons arrested has been de ported." Cuban delegate Emilio Nunoz Portuondo said the deportations were not propaganda but were a fact. The criminals, he said, were not those arrested, but those who are loading Hungarians on trains for deportation lo Russia. The Cuban delegate urged sup port of Cuban proposal demanding a halt to the reported deporta tions.

A Vienna report the Russians were replacing their tank troopi in Hungary with 20 fresh infantry , divisions lacked confirmation here. No correspondent in Budapest can claim reliably to know anything -of the kind. Of the industrial situation, Radio Budapest said that, although 45 per cent of the working force ap-. .. pcared at some of the nation's major plants, "in most cases pro-.i duction could not be resumed for lack of power."

Only two men did any work in tho plants Western correspondents were able to visit Monday. It turned out they were repairing their own bicycles.
