o o o o IXTKW MTDFOUD (OREGON) MAIL TFIBUNE Friday, November 16, 1958 Russian Attacks in Hungary Triggered U.S. Campaign To Give Brutal Facts To the World WaiiiiBZton !U.R. "Russia AtUcks Hunjamn Freedom Fighters." Headlines like this triggered a r-vift American campaign to tell th world especially the Soviet Union the full story of Soviet asrsion that drowned the Hungarian revolt in blood. :.. Special emphasis v.s placed on getting the story to fence-sitting neutral which have been unwilling to clasi the Russians as villians. All Forces Marshalled The drive was handled by the U.S. Information Agency which tamped "top priority" on the project and quickly marshalled all its forces to handle it. One top official explained: . "Thi was a clear case of So- TWA Piloi Averls Possible Tragedy Las Vegas, Nev. (UP) A Trans World Airline pilot was credited today with averting a possible major air tragedy by belly-landing a crippled airliner on the desert. The twin-engined Martin 404 screeched to a halt near the air port Thursday only yards away from a house. Six of 38 passen gers and crewmen were. injured, but only one "of tha injured re quired hospitalization. The airliner developed engine trouble shortly after taking off from McCarrsn Field here on the final leg of its flight from Kansas City to Los Angeles. The pilot, Capt. Arthur De Fabry, of Palos Vevdes Estates, Calif., returned the plane on one en gine and attempted to make an emergency landing on the air field. He overshot it. Dm Fabry then retracted the landing gear and made a per fect belly landing on level dos ert nearby. The impact ripped seats loose and tore both en gines from their mounts. The plan didn't catch Jire and most passengers walked out unassisted. viet aggression. And we want' ed the world to see it and un derstand it." The USIA used a variety of propaganda weapons Voice of American radio broadcasts international wire service, the agency's private wireless net work, and its picture service. The Voice, the principal arm of the campaign, is the only one that could penetrate the Iron Curtain. It boosted from 23 to 67 the number of programs beamed "live" to satellite audi' ences. The broadcasts were in Rus sian, Lithuanian, Estonian Georgian, Armenian, Ukranian Hungarian. Czech. Slovak, Ro manian and Albanian. Straight Nwi Usual features like music and special events were trimmed to the minimum so the Voice could concentrate on straight news of the Hungarian crisis. The Voice denounced the So vict brutality, but made no effort to incite Hungarians to rebellion. Its moderately- word ed broadcasts were intended to keep alive the breath of free dom for eventual liberation. A typical broadcast said: "The crueltv of Soviet be havior in Hungary so far has horrified mankind. "World opinion, speaking through the United Nations, de mand that the Soviet leaders re consider their present course and respond affirmatively to President Eisenhower's urgent appeal that they remove all So viet troops from Hungary and allow that nation to chose its own government." Wide Distribution While the radio was pouring out the story, the wireless press service Was sending thousands of words daily to its approxi mately 200 posts abroad. The information was then distribu ted to local newspapers.' Tiie USIA also managed to get pictures of the rebellion from Hungarian refugees who fled to freedom. These photo graphs, showing Hungarians, battling against Soviet tanks, also were made available to newspapers around the world for use as they saw fit. Officials said the pictures beautifully bare but there seamless stockings by bur-STnil a meo The bold illusion of bare legs with the smooth . . e'ing of a coress.

And to Veep the illusion: Bur-Mil Cameo's famous Skin-Tone colors blended, like a custom face powder. to the coloring of your own skin. j medford were particularly valuable in neutral areas because they showed beyond any doubt how brutal the Russians can be in keeping its satellites in line. The agency during the upris ing also sent its overseas posts a 100.000-word 'survey entitled "Communist Colonialism and International Communism." The survey documented how the So viet Union took over each of its satellite states. American information officers abroad use such material when ever possible to refute Soviet claims tht the satellites really are independent. Warden Warns Inmates Chicago (U.R) Warden Jack Johnson put a censor's foot down on a literary page in the Cook county (Chicago), jail pub lication, "Tile Grapevine." Johnson wasn't amused by the thought that the inmates might be guilty of plagiarism for signing their own names to the words of such authors as Byron, Shakespeare and Whit tier. "It's just as bad to lift an author's story, even if he's dead," Johnson said to steal his watch." Clare Boothe Luce Plans To Talk With President Washington (UP) U.S. Am bassador to Italy Clare Boothe Luce, reported to be preparing to resign, planned to confer with President Eisenhower to day or Monday.
