Poland Purging
Those Opposed To
Gomulka Regime
Warsaw, Poland (U.R) Po
land's new Communist Regime
was reported purging its ranks
today of men who opposed the
new leader, one-time Titoist
Wladyslaw Gomulka.
The new leadership Sunday
night announced it had freed
Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski and
restored him to his post as
Catholic primate of Poland. The
announcement came 25 months
to the day after he had been
stripped of his religious office
and placed under confinement.
Soviet Union Criticized
At the same time, the Zicie
Warsawy, Poland's second larg
est newspaper, sharply criticized
the Soviet Union for treating
Poland as a "second class
cousin." It said Poland's for
eign policy "can be different
from that of the Soviet Union.
Informed sources said Gom
ulka, the new Communist party
leader, had been carrying out
the purge for almost a week
and that nine first secretaries
had been fired in district
branches for suspected antipathy
toward the Gomulka regime.
The sources said firings of the
officials appeared to be based
on the premise that if they were
not with Gomulka they were
against him.
Gomulka took over as party
leader two weeks ago follow
ing a bloodless coup which saw
the ousting of Stalinists from
the government.

Request Studied
Portland (U.R) Circuit Judge
Frank J. Lonergan today had
under advisement a motion by
two assistants to the attorney
general asking that Clyde C.
Crosby, Oregon Teamsters union
leader, be cited for contempt of
court.
The motion came Saturday at

Lonergan's court. At the hearing
nine Teamster officials and pin
ball industry figures attempted
to show that they had not been
given proper warning about
their constitutional rights before
appearing before the grand jury
this summer. Judge Lonergan
announced that the hearing
would be adjourned until an in
definite date.
The prosecutors accused Cros
by of "delaying tactics" and
abuse of judicial processes. Clif
ford O'Brien, Crosby's attorney,
accused Assistant Attorney Gen
eral John Nichols of "trying to
make the Sunday newspapers."

West Looks for UN
Action Against Russia
United Nations, N.Y. (U.R)
British Ambassador Sir Pier
son Dixon said today the West
was "looking for action" in
bringing the Soviet Union be
fore the Security Council for
using troops against Hungar
ians. The United Slates, Britain and
France Sunday convened an em
ergency session of the council
to file a formal protest. The
council voted to consider the
Hungarian question despite Sov
iet objections and a Yugoslav ab
stention.
The council was to meet this
afternoon to take up France s
charge that Egypt has smuggled
arms to Algerian rebels in what
it called interference in France's
domestic affairs.
The Sunday session lasted five
hours and 34-minutes without a
break. It heard the Western Big
Three supported by all other
members except Yugoslavia and
Iran call for an end to Soviet
suppression of the Hungarian
rebellion.

No Legal Authority
"Accordingly, until the legis

sees fit to change the law. it is
my opinion that the state has no
legal authority at this time to
pay any of the expenses of the
investigation o r prosecutions
which have been, or will be sub

commissioners for payment,"
Thornton said.

Budapest Rebels
Laying Down Arms,
Reports Indicate
Vienna (U.R) Rebels In
Budapest have begun to lay
down their arms and Russian
troops and tanks are leaving the
battle-scarred city, Radio Buda
pest announced tonight. '
The broadcast said Russian
troops "will complete their with
drawal from Budapest 24 hours
after all resistance groups have
delivered their arms."
The broadcast, if it could be
believed, indicated an agreement
had been reached between the
rebels and the government of
Premier Imre Nagy.
But the first announcement. by
Badapest Radio was treated with
caution. There have been several
broadcast reports that the revo
lution was over, peace restored
and order reinstated. Each such
announcement was followed by
a new outbreak in fighting.
No Direct Confirmation
"Resistance groups in Buda
pect have started to deliver their
arms to the Hungarian troops,"
Radio Budapest said.
There was no direct confirma
tion from Budapest.
Communications between the
Hungarian capital and the West
were still cut off, with only
sporadic contact during the
morning.
A dispatch filed byUnited
Press Staff Correspondent An
thony Cavendish from Budapest
today said that "Soviet troops
are still here."
But a great number of tanks
and infantry were pulling out
of the cjty Sunday night as Cav
endish walked in following a
flight from Warsaw.
Not Fast Enough
Budapest Radio itself com
plained today that Soviet forces
were not leaving fast enough.
Departure of the Russians left
the city open for the triumphal
entry of victorious revolutionary
forces now demanding negotia
tions for a democratic govern
ment with the frightened Nagy.
Nagy's party mouthpiece, Sza
bad Nep, said the revolution was
a "full victory" for the Hun
garian people.
And it rejected Soviet charges
hat "American imperialist
circles" were behind the upris
ing. Such a charge is an "insult
to our people," it said. The revo
lution was a "national uprising
directed by the free will of the
Hungarian people."

Kuntilla is about seven miles
inside the Egyptian border west
of the Israeli Negev Desert. It
is a good 125 .miles southwest
of Jerusalem. .
Ras El Naqb is also within
Egyptian territory, some 10
miles northwest of the Israeli
port of Eilat on the Gulf of
Akaba in the extreme south.
Reference To Highwsy
Mention of the road junction
"towards the Suez Canal" was
actually a reference to the high
way leading from Muntilla west
across the Sinai Desert to Port
Suez, southern junction of the
waterway which Egypt's Presi

alized last July 26.
Kuntilla is about 110 miles
