Intervention in
Hungary Uprising
Said Well Planned
Soviet Troops Said
Not Asked To Help
United Nations, N. Y. TP
A United Nations special com-nn!t-e
reported today that last
year Hungarian revolution was
a spontaneous nationwide up
rising crushed by the brutal in
tervention of Russian troops
without invitation.
It wai the most sweeping in
dictment of Soviet Communism
e.rr iisued by the UN.
iJO.COO Word H-port
A five-man committee ap
pointed last January to conduct
a tull and objective investiga
tion of th revolt announced its
findir.es in a 150,000-word re
port. Its conclusion was based
on evidence taken from 111 wit
nesses, some of them still loyal
to the Communist party, in
hearings held here in Vienna.
London, Rome and Geneva.
Keith C. O. Shann, Australian
ambassador to the Philippines,
who prepared the report, said
the revolution was "not an anti
Soviet revolution as such" and
was not fomented by outside
agencies, as for example. Radio
Free Europe.
No Outside Assistance
The. three mam conclusions of
the committee, comprising also
representatives of Denmark. Tu
nisia, Ceylon and Uruguay, were
these, Shann said:
1. There was, in fact, intcr--ention
by force by the Soviet
Union to crush the uprising and
to overthrow "a legal and pop
ularly supported government."
2. The revolt was "a spontan
eously national uprising not as
sisted from outside and not a
counter-revolution to restore an
old fovernment."
3. Tie present government of
Premier Janos Kadar "did not
at the time of its installation,
and does not now have popular
aupport."
Ciasrlr Written Report
The committee's report, writ
ten in a lucid narrative style so
rare for a diplomatic document
ft u forecast it would become
"beat aeller," gave a detailed
account of events leading up to
tha fighting which erupted Oct.
J, the usurpation of power by
Kadar in ousting the regime of
Imre Nicy, the brutal repres
sion, by the Soviet - dominated
cret police, the aims of the
insurgents and the effect of the
strife-torn country of the re
imposition of Soviet domina
tion. Committee testimony showed
that without Russian interven
tion order would have been re
stored in a day or two in Buda
pest and Hungary possibly spar
ed the blood bath of its October
uprising.
Interventioa Planned
The report stressed that no
legally constituted Hungarian
government called in the Rus
sia rt troops.
The report also stressed that
while the revolution itself was
spontaneous, the Russians had
planned well in advance to in
tervene. The disorders began the night
of Oct. 23 24.
But the five-member ip.vesti
Ifcitinf committee found that
floating bridges had been as
asmblcd on the Hungarian-Russian
frontier on Oct. 20 to
transport troops and that on the
following day. Hungarian-speak-ir
officer! on leave in Romania
were recalled.
Th Russians were observed
moving toward Budapest Oct.
22. the day before the revolt
erupted.

gency Board meets here next

UN Command Calls
Communists To
Panmunjom Meet
Reports Say UN
To Nullify Agreement
Seoul. Korea T The Un
ited Nations Command today
summoned the Communists to a
meeting of the military armis
tice groups at Panmunjom Fri
day. Persistent reports said the
UN command would nullify the
1953 armistice agreement.
The U. S. military announced
it was flying 20 American cor
respondents from Japan to Pan
munjomto cover the meeting
but would not confirm the Al
lies were ready to end the agree
mcnt, repeatedly violated by the
Reds in building up a massive
striking force in North Korea.
Signed in 1953
The armistice agreement was
signed in Panmunjom on July
27, 1353. by North Korean Gen.
Nam II for the Communists and
Lt. Gen. William K. Harrison
Jr., of the U. S. Army as senior
delegate for the UN command
It was not known here exact
ly what the ramifications of
such a move would be. But dip
lomatic sources suggested one in
tention might be to replace the
outmoded Korean war material
of the United Nations forces.
Leaders of the UN command
said the Communists brought in
modern jet planes into North
Korea in violation of the armis
tice, built up major air bases
within easy striking distance of
Japan, and revamped the once-
defeated North Korean army
with the latest heavy armor.
Declared Voided
South Korea repeatedly has
declared the armistice agree
ment voided by the massive
Communist build-up while com
plaining that the ROK forces
were limited to such weapons as
those in use at the end of the
fighting four years ago.
South Korea also has appeal
ed for the introduction of Am
erica n atomic weapons to coun
ter those it said Russia has sup
plied the Red forces in North
Korea. The United States al
ready has weapons with atomic
capability in Japan, Okinawa
and Formosa.

GIRARD
APPEAL
Washington "P The government appealed directly to the
Supreme Court today to reverse a court order preventing it from
surrendering GI William S. Girard to Japanese authorities for a
manslaughter trial.
A petition filed with the court by Attorney General Herbert
Brownell Jr. asked the court to reverse last Tuesday's decision
by Federal Judge Joseph C. McGarraghy.
McGarraghy ruled that a Japanese trial for Girard would vio
late his constitutional rights.
The government petition said McGarraghy's decision is "clearly
wrong" and "public interest in an early disposition of this case"
is very great.
Brownell asked the court to accept the case for review, and
urged that it schedule oral argument "if deemed necessary, at an
early date convenient to the court." He also suggested that Girard's
attorneys be required to reply to his petition within two days.

The United Press counted at
least 168 weather deaths since
last week end. There ,were 117

CASE
FILED
adjourn for the summer recess
next Monday. However, it could
extend the term for any period
it chooses.
The court meets Friday morn
ing for its routine consideration
of cases and undoubtedly will
consider the Girard case at that
time.
Brownell's petition said.
"We firmly believe that, des
pite the district court's ruling,
Girard's case is totally without
merit and that the court can so
decide promptly."
It addfd that the government
is prepared to file a brief on the
merits of the case "if that is
deemed desirable," within the
next few days.
Cite International La-.-r
Girard's attorneys, it said,
probably can prepare a brief
quickly from those they submit
ted to McGarraghy.
"If oral argument is believed
necessary," the petition added,
"the government is ready to pre
sent it at the eariest date, con
venient to the court ... we have
no doubt that Girard's counsel
are equally ready and able to do
so."
The petition said the govern
ment's position in the case "is
simple."
"It rests on the international
aspects which the district court
has totally ignored," it said
"Under international law, Japan
is sovereign within its own coun
try. "In the absence of express or
implied agreement to the con
trary. United States officials
within Japan would be obliged
by Japanese and international
law to make Girard available to
the Japanese authorities for
trial there.
"Thus, if the international ar
rangements between the U.S.
and Japan are invalid. Girard is
plainly subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of Japan and has no
claim whatever in American
courts."

James B. Elkins, whose disclos
ures touched off Portland's vice
probe more than a year ago,

Club after Clifford O. Bennett,
operator of the club, had placed
it there minutes before.
Sire of Envelope
Ticdemann said the "some
thing" looked about the size of
an envelope.
The prosecution claims
Schrunk lied when he told a
Grand Jury last summer that he
did not accept a bribe from Ben
nett in exchange for not closing
down the after hours spot.
In Elkins' testimony, he said
that he found the 8212 Club's
?1,500 bankroll short S500 when
he got it back from Bennett on
the night in 1955 when Schrunk
allegedly pick up the envelope.
Virginia Jenkins, a hat check
girl in the club, testified that she
saw Bennett leave the club with
a "manila colored envelope," on
that same night. ,

Portland (IP) Top Oregon
education leaders Wednesday
forecast a "bright new day" in
higher education for the state
as a result of budget action by
the 1957 Legislature.
John R. Richards, chancellor,
said the budget and building
allocations of the Legislature
was a "culmination" of a deci
sion made in 1955 that "we
would have to reach a higher
plateau of public spending for
higher education.
R. ' E. Kleinsorgc, chairman
of the board, said "We didn't
get all we asked for and are
going to ask for it again, but it
is certainly graiifying to know
that the people of Oregon want
a good educational system and
are willing to pay for it."
The Legislature approved
money for building as well as
faculty pay raises. Some $7,715,
000 will be spent on building

Reduction To
2,500,000 Men
Put To Conference
Cut Would Be Mads
Within One Year
uuiiuuil iij i A lie uiiiiru
States proposed today that the
u. a. ana soviet armea lorccs
be cut to 2,500.000 men each.
It said the reductions should
be made "without any political
preconditions" as part of the
first step disarmament plan.
U. S. Delegate Harold E. Slas
sen made the proposal at today
session of the five-power Lon
don Disarmament Conference,
sources disclosed.
Part of Agreement
The cut, to be carried out
within one year of iiie sicnir.C
of a disarmament treaty, woultf
be part of an over-all agreement
including the future of nuclear
tests.
The U.S. now has 2,800.000
men in its armed forces. Rut
sia is estimated to have a mili- -tary
manpower of about lout
millions.
Conference sources said Stai
sen also agreed to Soviet de
mands that control of nuclear
tests be included in the f.r1
step toward disarmament.
Stassen also told the confer
ence the U. S. was prepared iO
consider further substantia
armed forces reductions in ordL
er to meet Russia half-way.
He indicated the U. S. would
consider the cutting of forcA
to a figure substantially lowe
than the proposed 2,500.0ilQ
level, depending on the solution
of political problems.
Depends on Settlement
Conference sources said thJJ
while the U. S. offer of a 2.5(i).
000 man reduction was mcft
without any prior political coie
ditions, further cuts below thaj
level would depend upon tin
progressive settlement of out
standing East-West political is
sues. Stassen pointed out that thet8
envisioned further reductions
would also form part of a firaf
step disarmament agreement.
The long awaited America
proposal touched off a general
