Serious Trouble in Communist Hungary Seen in Reconversion Br CHARLES MCCANN Uniied Press Foreign Analyst Communist Hungary seems to be in serious trouble. Trouble is nothing new, of course, to the 9,300,0 0 a or dinary people who live un der the Red dicta torship. But things are so bad that Communist leaders are sharing the trouble. A grandiose Cbano sict nr plan io convert agricultural Hungary to heavy industry as part of the Krem lin's master plan of exploiting Soviet satellites has failed. The Communists are trying to emphasize production of food and consumer goods to an extent which constitutes an industrial revolution. But the reconversion is not Agoing smoothly. About 200,000 people have been thrown out of work. Travellers arriving in Vi enna from Budapest say that the total may reach 600,000 to 800,000. . The country is facing its sec ond miserable winter, and re ports tell of growing public un rest. Things got so bad as far back as the summer of 1953 that the Red leaders sensed danger. Rakosi Steps Out Bullet-headed Matyas Rakosi, chief of the Hungarian Commu nist party who had sponsored the conversion to heavy industry, stepped out of his post as prime minister in favor of ImreNagy, another high party leader who is also an agricultural expert. Nagy announced what he called a "new course." He prom ised more food and less industri alization. He said there would be more consumer goods and told farmers they might leave the big collective farms and till land of their own. The farmers responded so en thusiastically that Nagy had to clamp down new regulations to save the collectives. Last winter was one of the worst Hungary has suffered in modern years. ' There were shortages of food, coal and electric power. There was an epidemic of influenza as the result of bad living condi tions. Things Get Worse Things have got worse rather than better since then. Rakosi is reported to have gloated at the failure of the Nagy "new course." It is reported that feeling be tween Nagy and Rakosi is so bad that it is becoming an open squabble. There are hints that a purge is not unlikely in the near future. Nagy, in an article published in Budapest on Oct. 20, severely criticized the "dictatorial leader ihip by one person" which had existed in Hungary for five years before he took office. The dicta tor was Rakosi. In another article published at about the same time, Erno Gero, minister of state and director of I economic planning, warned that J high officials would be purged I . .

Washington (U.R) The Agri culture Department has reported that American farm crop exports in August declined 13 per cent below August last year to a total S815.648.000. . How long ago did Cole Porter write that delightful ditty titled "A Little Flat on Washington Square"? It was one of Cole's first hits. Washington Square is still one of the most picturesque residential sections in Manhat tan. You can still get a little flat on the square but the price is not so little as it was when the song aforementioned was written. Yet if you can afford the current price, it is worth it. The Wash ington Square streets are tree- lined and the park is a pretty one with no "Keep Off The Grass" signs around. It is a quiet place to live providing you are not so unfortunate as to have for a neighbor one of those loud playing TV enthusiasts who never miss the late show. Horses and Women Jackie, Rose, Freddie, Patricia, Nicole, Natlie and Anna. Those are the names of seven of the most beautiful young women in Paris. I don't know their last names. However, I can tell bach elors who are interested how to get in touch with them. They are all mannikins for Jacques Fath. So if you are, for example, inter ested in Freddie, who is a bru nette, or Anna, who is a stat uesque blonde, just address them care of Jacques Fath, Pans. These seven mannikins recently went to London to appear in a benefit fashion show of Fath "S" line dresses. They were de layed enroute. So they had to model seventy-five dresses in an hour. Is that a fashion show rec ord? Briefly How about that four-edged safety razor blade that some genius invented? Why hasn't that ever reached the market?

She is a waitress at Rosoff's, one of Manhattan's oldest and most popular restau rants. Says she, "I believe any thing between 10 and 15 per cent of the creek is a fair tip. At luncheon we average about 25 cents a person. At dinner we do a little better."

One crew is from the south fork camp on the Wilson river and the other recruited out of Forest Grove. To Increase Crews Forestry officials said the crews would be gradually in creased to 70 men at. the peak of the planting season. More than 500.000 trees mostly two year old Douglas t firs will be planted each week, with the program expected to' be com pleted in 10 weeks. Some 4,500,000 seedlings, grown at the Oregon forest nurs ery, will be used. . To Replant Sardine Burn Late in the winter, planting crews will be recruited . from Mill City and Gates to carry out forest rehabilitation meas ures in the disastrous 1951' Sar dine Creek Burn in Marion county. Since the . sttae-sponsored re habilitation program started in 1949, more than 18,000,000 seed lings have been planted, mostly in northwest Oregon. In addi tion, 36,049 acres have been aerially seeded in the Tillamook Burn, another 5000 acres in Clatsop county. ' Monroe Store Ordered To Reinstate Workers Portland (U.R) The Na tional Labor Relations Board yesterday ordered the Monroe Feed store, Monroe, Ore., to re instate and pay back wages to 13 employees discharged a year ago for union activities. The NLRB also ordered store manager Wayne Giesy to stop interfering with organizing of the employees and to .bargain with their, representatives. The firm had appealed from the decision of the board's trial examiner, Wallace Royster, but the board itself upheld Royster's findings. An official of the Grain Mill ers local 61 (AFL) estimated that the reinstatement order would cost the feed store about $20,000. The examiner found, and the board affirmed, that the 13 men were fired last Oct. 30 for union activities. Tuesday, November 2, 1954 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE United Nations, N. Y.

No re quests for special numbers on your license plates. The plea is from Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry, who re minds that Oregon is going in for a new system of motor ve hicle license plates because the state is just getting too big to continue with the' old system of straight numbers. He stated today: "During the next license period, beginning Jan. 1, 1955, the number of motor vehicles in Oregon will exceed the one million mark. Important Changes ' "To assure an accurate and economical system of register ing these vehicles, it was nec essary to make important changes in plate numbering. The addition of an alphabetical pre fix, plus the decentralized han dling of the plates in field of fices, makes the granting of special numbers a wasteful pro cess. "I am therefore asking the cooperation of Oregon citizens in not requesting special num bers." Speaking of special numbers, here are the three under the present system of straight num bers: Gov. Paul L. Patterson's official car, No. 1; Secretary of State Newbry's car, No. 2; State Treasurer Sig Unander's car, No. 3. iLi5, The U.S. post office depart ment leases 22,800 buildings.

This power can be brought back because TCP, blended into Shell Premium Gasoline, does what no fuel additive could do before. It overcomes the greatest cause of power loss in today's engines lead and carbon deposits. With TCP, these deposits no longer glow red hot inside your engine to-start the gasoline burning before full power can be delivered. 'At the same time, TCP additive stops waste of fuel and power that comes when the deposits cause spark plugs to misfire. As a result, you can actually repower your engine by , using Shell Premium with TCP! Besides getting back power you paid for and getting it before you've used two tankfuls TCP additive gives you up to 2i times longer spark plug life. Shell Premium Gasoline with TCP is the greatest gasoline development since tetraethyl lead.
