The money will be channeled through the United Nations. It will supplement $1 million set aside Nov. 13 for the same pur pose. The government action came as the American Red Cross re ported with "concern" that pri vate contributions to its special $5 million appeal for Hungarian j reIlcI are laKKnS Red Cross Chairman E. Ro land Harriman said the drive, which started Nov. 27, had brought in S2.142,317,-or less than 40 per cent of the goal through Friday.

C, on behalf of the Pacifie Northwest locai service case. The brief promotes establish ment of a triangular air route unking Klamath. . Falls, Reno, Nev., Winnemucca, Nev., Boise, Ida., Burns and Lakciew. The Jackson county court, cities of Medford and Grants Pass; and the Josephine County Chamber of Commerce joined the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce- in supporting the move. The brief notes that economic expansion of Jaekson and Jose phine counties in recent years and indications of more growth in the future would make the triangular route desirable in southern Oregon. Popular use of air service at Medford and the lack of rail passenger service in this area are also given as examples of need and potential assurance of success' for such a route. The brief also urges the board to award the route to an airline which will provide integrated service. Several graphs and tables are also included in the brief.

Hagerty said "more than 130,- 000" Hungarians have fled into Austria from their Soviet-ravag ed homeland. Although the United States Canada, and Western European nations are cooperating in a vast resettlement program, it is ev ident that Austria will play host to many thousands through the winter. The cost of housing, feeding, clothing and medical care is a heavy burden on the small cen tral European country. Hence the UN appeal to the United States and other nations to help. Hagerty said the $4 million will come from President Eis enhower's special $100 million emergency relief fund. The check probably will be deliver ed to the UN this week.

Some 600 British tommies sealed off the Arab quarter and rounded up 1,000 residents dur ing a house-to-house search for arms. The crackdown resulted from a series of five attacks between midnight and dawn against Brit ish troops and a tank squadron and Norwegian U.N. emergency force patrols. Two Killed Two Egyptains were killed and 14 wounded. A British officer and a French soldier were hurt in the clashes which were the first since the invasion cease fire. The attackers, described as "Fedayeen" (suicide commandos) used rockets, machine guns, gre nades and small arms. The British commander, Lt, Gen. Sir Hugh Stockwell protest ed to the U.N. commander, Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns and warned he would take mailers into his own hands if the attacks do not stop. The Egyptian government dis claimed any knowledge of the attacks and demanded that Port Said be turned over to Egyptian authorities. Questioned Half of the men arrested in the roundup were released after questioning. The rest, men of military age, were held for furth er investigation. British tanks were moved to the waterfront to protect troops embarking for home. It appeared, however, that the withdrawal of British and French occupation forces- was being de layed for technical reasons. The UNEF commander in Port Said, Col. Carl Engholin of Den mark, said delay developed be cause of an unexplained slowness in getting French transports to the Port Said embarkation area.
