Vienna fU.F) The son of Hungarian Foreign Minister Imre Horvath de nounced his father today as a dyed in the wool Communist who approved of political "liqui dations." Imre Hovath Jr.. 30, told about life with a Communist father as he rested in a refugee camp in this provincial town, where he fled to freedom with his four-year-old son, Sandor, several weeks ago. Bitter Arguments "I never agreed with my fa ther, and we had bitter political arguments." Horvath said. -My father was a dyed in the wool Communist who spent most of the prewar years in Hungarian jails along with former Premier Matyas Rakosi and other latter day Stalinists." The younger Horvath said he used to tell his father of unrest m the factories, "jjut he never listened to me." "I had the impression he and the the other Communist-leaders cared little about what the workers thought. I remember I was especially shocked when I talked with him about the fate of Lazslo Rajk former Hungarian foreign minister who was execu ted in 1949 as a Titoist traitor. "I told my father everybody in Hungary knew that scores of innocent people were being tried and executed. But he just re plied. 'It is better to liquidate hundreds of innocent people than to let one guilty person stay within the ranks of the party.' " Horvath, whose divorced wife also fled to freedom recently among Hungary's 160,000 refu gees, said his father constantly needled him because he chose to be a mechanic instead of a politician. Mother Also Suffered He said his mother, divorced from Horvath one year after Imre was born, also suffered be cause of her association with a leading Communist. "She knew too much about the prewar purges in Russia and often asked about the fate of liquidated Hungarian Commu nists." the refugee said. "As a result, she spent years in Com munist jails after the Commu nists seized power in postwar Hungary." The tall, brown-haired son of the foreign minister is presently working in an Austrian steel mill and hopes to go to Sweden under sponsorship of the Cath olic Welfare Conference. Fatal Accidents Increase in 1956 New York Fatal accidents in the United States during 1956 took approximately 95,000 lives, statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company report. It was the second successive year in which the total increased. The 1956 figure was about 2,000 higher than that for 1955 and 5,000 higher than the 1954 total. The rise is accounted for by the increase in fatalities from motor vehicle accidents, which numbered approximately 40,000 in 1956. This is about 2,000 more than in 1955, and establishes a new high annual toll. "In 1956, as in many prior years, motor vehicle accidents accounted for more than two fifths of all accidental deaths in the United States," the statistic ians comment. The number of lives lost in each of the other main classes of accidents showed no appre ciable change from the preced ing year. Accidents in and about the home were responsible for approximately 28,000 deaths, public accidents other than those involving motor vehicles, killed about 16,000 persons, and occu pational accidents about 14,000 of which more than 3,000 in volved motor vehicles. "Year by year, accidents in our country outrank every other cause of death except the cardiovascular-renal diseases and can cer," the statisticians report. Huggins Discusses Reorganization of County Chamber M. M. (Hug) Huggins, presi dent of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, discus sed the reorganization of the chamber at the luncheon meet ing of the chamber roundtable yesterday at the Jackson hotel. Huggins said organization of the chamber will be broken down into six divisions, with several committee chairmen in each division responsible to a division head. The divisions are public rela tions headed by Russ Jamison, consisting of greeters, round table and publicity committees; industrial, chairmanned by Frank Bash, in charge of new enterprises, "statistics and spec ial projects committees; and transportation, chairmanned by David Holmes, consisting of av iation, highway and rates com mittees.

Special Committees Huggins added special commit tees will be formed if special pro jects develop in the county. The new chamber president said he anticipates 250 chamber mem bers be active as chairmen and workers on the committees. Com mittee chairmen will be named later. According to Huggins the chamber by-laws were amended to provide for two vice presi dents. In past years there has been one vice president. Huggins announced by Ray Johnson as one vice president and said a second will be named later. Monty Stram has also been named new chairman of the chamber roundtable. He suc ceeds Ray Johnson.
