Budapest W The graves
are gone from the public parks
of Budapest.
The bodies of the men,
women and children who died
for freedom in October and
November of 1956 have been
moved to the cemeteries. Only
the dates on the headstones
there bear witness to the cir
cumstances under which they
died.
That is what has struck me
most sharply on my return to
this city. When I saw it last,
the parks were pocked with
the fresh graves of the free
dom fighters. The new Com
munist regime wants no re
minder. It has done a good
job.
The black flags which hung
from the buildings, mourning
the nation's dead youth, are
Young Airman Starts
Week's Simulated
Trip To Outer Space
San Antonio, Tex. IW
Airman Donald G. Farrell,
huddled in a small steel cham
ber cut off from the world,
was bearing up well today
against the bleak solitude of
a simulated outer space trip
to the moon.
The 23-year-old New York
airman entered the steel shell
anchored to the floor of a
Randolph Air Force Base lab
oratory Sunday. If all goes
well, he will emerge Satur
day. Flight surgeons, watching
him constantly on a 14-inch
television screen, said the air
man is an "excellent subject"
and was holding up well under
the oppressiveness of his three
by five foot chamber, sealed
off from the world and en
veloped in air pressure equal
to the heigh of 18,000 feet.
H e undergoes rigorous
work periods, matching
charts and checking lights on
a maze of instruments facing
the seat from which he can
not rise. The tests check his
mental alacrity under the
strain and have nothing to do
with space navigation, of
ficers said.
Farrell's only contact with
the world is soft music, which
he can hear at the push of a
button.
Reactions Watched
Flight surgeons, working in
relays while others sleep in
the laboratory, watch his
face on the 14-inch TV screen
and watch his problem re

Wires and instruments on his
body record his condition.
Farrell's biggest enemy.
and the reason for the test, is
solitude.
To make the test a succes,
he must endure the isolation
for seven days in the small
cell, with only a minimum of
room to shift his body. Only
a clock tells him the differ
ence between night or day.
'He can hear only himself and
the optional music.
United Auto Workers Set
Meetinq For This Week
Detroit (IP) Several
hundred United Auto Work
ers local and international of
ficers will meet for three
days this week to; work out
specific provisions of the 1958
bargaining proposal to Gen
eral Motors Corp.
The Feb. 12-14 meeting of
this General Motors council
of the UAW will be the first
held to work out contract
terms for a single company.
The UAW Chrysler council
will meet Feb. 19 and the
Ford council will meet March
4.
The UAW bargaining con
vention Jan. 22-24 approved
the union's general bargain
ing program. This program in
cluded a "basic" economic
package for many wage and
benefit gains and a "supple
mentary" package for a share
of the profits of successful
corporations.
T. O. Yntema, Ford vice
president-finance, this week
told the Senate anti-monopoly
subcommittee the UAW's
"basic" package alone would
cost the auto companies an
other 60 cents or better per
hour in labor expenses. ,
The UAW international has
never put a figure on the cost
of its basic demands. That
will be the job of the corpor
ation councils and of the Na
tional Bargaining committee
which will write up the final
contract demands from where
the councils leave off.
The basic demands include
an annual wage boost of at
least four per cent. The un
ion said this is the minimum
production improvement rate
for all American industry.
This would add four per cent.
The union said this is the
minimum production improve
ment rate for all American
industry. This would add 10
Dave Beck May
Have To Pay Rent
Miami Beach IIP) The
Teamsters Union executive
board may decide at its win
ter meeting opening today
whether to make Dave Beck
pay some rent and taxes on
the $165,000 house the union
built for him, sources said
today.
Both Beck, a former presi
dent of the union, and his
successor, James R. Hoffa,
were scheduled to sha'ce the
spotlight at the winter con
ference of Teamster officials.
Beck was planning to help
clean up "loose ends" in the
change-over of administrations
in the 1,400.000-member truck
union.
Teamster sources said the
board may decide if Beck
should be allowed to continue
living rent-free and tax-free
in the SI 65,000 home in Se
attle built with union funds.
The Teamsters convention
which elected Hoffa refused
to grant Beck the title of
president emeritus. However,
Beck receives a S50.000-a-year
pension from the union.
cents an hour to the present
average assembly 4 worker's
wage of $2.40.
The UAW also wants the
company-paid pension increas
ed from $2.25 to $2.75 per"
month for each year worked.
The union wants the pension
qualifications liberalized to
require fewer years, lower re
tirement age and more liberal
health exceptions. No price
tag was placed on these pen
sion improvements.
Two Spirngfield
Brothers Held for
Albany Slaying
Albany, Ore. (IP) A 51-
year-old Albany man, Wil
liam Calloway Howell, was
stabbed to death on a street
near his home early Sunday.
Two Springfield brothers ad
mitted to police they had a
"knife fight" with the victim.
Howell was the father of
eight children. The body was
found in shrubbery Sunday
morning by three boys who
notified police. Deputy Coro
ner Walter Kropp said How
ell had been stabbed seven
times and his throat slashed.
Brothers Detained
The suspects, Andrew
Wolfe, 22, and his 20-year-old
brother, Phillip, were held
without bail. The pair first
came to the attention of au
thorities when Andrew ap
peared at an Albany hospital
early Sunday for treatment
of a superficial knife wound
in the back. He told hospital
atendants he and his brother
had been attacked by a man
as they walked along railroad
tracks near Millersburg, five
miles north of Albany. Police
were notified.
When the youths could not
locate the spot where the at
tack was said to have taken
place police detained them
for further questioning. When
Howell's body was found
they were placed in custody
of Linn county sheriff George
Miller.
Andrew later admitted they
had been in a fight with How
ell after the man allegedly
called Andrew a "bad name."
Klamath Doctor,
Wife Die in Fire
' Klamath Falls (IPI A
Klamath Falls doctor and his
wife died of suffocation "Sun
day when flames swept their
home. The victims were Dr.
Raymond W. Oldenburg, 59,
and his wife Jean, 56, resi
dents of Klamath Falls for 30
years.
Firemen said the two were
apparently overcome by
smoke from a fire which
heavily damaged the rear of
their house. Cause of the fire,
which took four hours to con
trol, has not been determined,
firemen said.
I gone and in their place fly
again the red stars. I had seen
those red flags ripped to
shreds in the streets.'
Stalin's Statue Gone
The monuments to the
"heroic Soviet liberators" of
World War II toppled by
the freedom fighters have
been restored. All but the
giant figure of Stalin. It had
not been replaced.
. The traffic of trucks and
autos and street cars moves
swiftly again today through
Budapest streets once ladder
ed by barricades and shaken
by the tread of Soviet tanks
and the blast of artillery.
Here is a bakery in the Fer
enc Circle where I once took
shelter from the gunfire. Cus
tomers now carry loaves of
bread out the front door. Little
more than a year ago its back
door had been a supply point
for the men fighting in the
Killian Barracks.
In Pakoczi St., I paused at
the spot where a young girl
carrying a rifle kissed me
simply because I was an
American.
Visit to Cemetery
I went to the Kerepesi Na
tional cemetery on a Sunday
morning. There both the free
dom fighters and the Commu
nists have buried their dead.
That morning as on every
Sunday hundreds paid their
respects to the revolution
aries. Only a few relatives
stood by the graves of the
Communists, buried in a circle
around the monument of Hun
garian national hero Lajos
Kossuth.
There is a pride among
these people that they at
least tried.
I asked a doctor of medi
cine, a greyhaired man in his
middle 50s with a growing
family, if it had been worth
it all the bloodshed and
the reprisals that came after
wards. Yes, he said, because we
stood up and were counted.
' "To me and thousands of
others, even those who lose
fathers, brothers or sons, it
was worth it. I was a specta
tor, a noncombatant, an op
portunist, if you like, but I
think I can answer for most
Hungarians.
"It was worth everything
for the very simple reason
that now I and almost every
other Hungarian need have no
fear of my neighbor.
Traitors and Patriots
"Before the revolution he
might wear a party badge or
he might not, but I never real
ly knew what he was. Now all
of that is done and gone. We
know who are the traitors
and who are the patriots."
That is perhaps the most im
portant result and a curious
one. The government tries to
pretend the revolt never hap
pened. So the people have
taken them up on that myth to
fill the restaurants and night
clubs with a desperate kind of
gaiety.
The physical lot of the peo
ple is not nearly so bad as
might have been expected.
The Soviet Union has poured
in $225 million in loans dur
ing 1957 alone.
Still the people live from
day to day, with little thought
for tomorrow.
But despite the regime's at
tempt to hide the past and the
people's desire to ignore the
future, the gaiety is only sup
erficial. To me, Budapest is the sad
dest of cities.

New York Mayor To
Air School Problem
New York W) Mayor
Robert F. Wagner called top
school, police and court of
ficials to a City Hall confer
ence today to map an attack
on the problem of the city's
unruly children and crime in
the schools.
The most critical immediate
problem on the agenda was
what to do with 644 young
sters suspended from schools
as troublemakers and thrown
"out on the streets" in the ab
sence of detention facilities.
More were expected to be
ousted today, possibly raising
the total to 950.
The mayor's first assistant
denied suggestions that the
upsurge of violent crime
among school children was
caused by racial tensions
among the city's white, Negro
and Puerto Rican populations.
