Kadar Locks
His Torturer
Up 16 Years
BUDAPEST 11 Hungary's
Communist regime announced to
day Mihaly Farkas, notorious
Stalin era purger who reportedly
tortured Premier Janos Kadar
when Kadar was out of favor, has
been sentenced to 16 years in
prison.
He. apparently was convicted at
a secret trial.
Farkas, minister of defense and
three-star general in the regime
of former dictator Matyas Rokosi,
was the first of the old Stalinist
leaders to be sentenced in Hung
ary. He was arrested last October,
before the unsuccessful anti-Communist
rebellion which brought
Kadar back to power as the choice
of the Russians. He remained in
prison through the uprising.
Farkas, 53, a Jew, and his son
Vladimir played leading roles in
the prosecution in 1949-50 of other
former Communist leaders whose
names were cleared later. Both
were accused of helping in the
"investigation" of former Foreign
Secretary Laszlo Rajk and Kadar,
who had been interior minister be
fore he also fell from favor during
Stalin's feud with President Tito
of Yugoslavia.
The elder Farkas was accused
MAYOR PUTS 'EM ON PROBATION
No isy Frogs S tir
Civic Controversy
BRENTWOOD. Md. (UPI A
noisy gang of lecherous frogs held
their own today against the forces
of propriety.
But Mayor William H. Smith
said they are merely on proba
tion and had better watch out.
The frogs, who are in the mid
dle of their mating season, have
been disporting with gusto and
much loud croaking in a pond in
this Washington suburb.
Earlier this week 83 - year old
Mrs. Mary Harman, who lives
next door, demanded for the sec
ond year in a row that the police
break it up. She complained that
the frogs were "disorderly and
carrying on" every night until
midnight.
Nary A Croak
Police said they couldn't catch
the frogs being disorderly and
turned the problem over to the
mayor. The mayor said that in
two trips to the pond in the last
two days he hasn't seen a frog or
heard a croak.
However, he said if he gets
of having personally tortured
Kadar while the present Premier
was imprisoned on T i t o i s t
charges.
more complaints from other neigh
bors he will get tough.
"I like frogs," he said. "But if
I have to. I'll ask the man who
owns the pond to get rid of them.
I'll do (everything I can to keep
peace. "
William J. Miller, who has the
pond in his backyard, said he
didn't know anything about the
frogs.
Just Moved In
"I didn't put them there," he
said. "They just moved in."
But Mrs. Harman charged Mill
er "keeps the pond filled with wa
ter for them."
"And he used to keep pigeons,"
she said. "All the time they were
cooing. Now all the time the frogs
are croaking. He's a t e r r i b 1 e
man."
The mayor said he felt certain
that if necessary Miller would
permit extermination of the frogs.
"He was very cooperative about
tne pigeons; the mayor said.
"He had a big loft of them and
used to race them, but he got rid
of them when I asked him.
"Of course, I'd have to do the
asking about the frogs. If Mrs.
Harman did.it, I think he'd start
feeding them.
Fired Justice
Lawyer Flays
'False Charge'
WASHINGTON il Horace L.
Flurry has denounced as "false"
a charge that he favored a more
limited" grand jury investigation
of oil price boosts.
Flurry has quit his post as a
lawyer with the Justice Depart
ment's antitrust division, alleging
that his superiors impeded the
grand jury probe which he was
conducting.
Yesterday, Asst. Atty. Gen. Vic
tor R. Hansen, head of the anti
trust division, accepted Flurry's
resignation. Hansen said Flurry
was removed from the case some
time ago because he refused to
cooperate with two superiors. W.
Wallace Kirkpatrick, No. 3 man
in the division, and Worth Rowley,
chief oT its trial section.
Flurry, who had been a trust
busting government lawyer for 16
years, said this charge of non
cooperation was "untrue."
He also challenged Hansen's
statement that Flurry's superiors
"believed that a very thorough,
complete investigation should be
man of the oil comDanies in
volved, whereas you believed a
more limited investigation was
desirable."
Flurry said he has "always
stood up for an all-out investiga
tion on a national basis."
"We have some timid souls in
the antitrust division who- are
afraid of hi? investigations and
big lawsuits," Flurry said.
He did not specify who he
meant by "timid souls,"
