Horvath Denounced
By Son As One Who
OK'd 'Liquidations'
Kapfenberg. 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. Other divisions "are commer
cial, headed by Ron Gandee, in
charge of retail merchants, tour
ist, convention, agriculture and
' forestry committees; public af
fairs, headed by Frank Van
Dyke, consisting of government
operations, water resources and
education committees; and fin
ance, chairmanned by Dwight
Houghton, in charge of member-
ship, dues and budget commit
tees.
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.
