( UPI Tetepkoto) Tito Mav H Break of P By RUSSELL JONES United Press International Warsaw, Poland (UPI)- Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito may have factual proof that the Soviet Union broke its solemn word to support the Hungar ian government of Imre Nagy in October. 1956. Many Hungarian experts are convinced of the truth of a report that Nagy secretly tape recorded promises given him by Soviet Deputy Anas tas Mikoyan and top party leader Mikhail Suslov, after the Hungarian people rose up against the harsh Stalinists who had been running the country. Nagy and three of his com patriots have been executed for leading the rebellion. An nouncement of the secret trial and executions was made Tuesday. According to the reports, Nagy took the recording with him to the Yugoslav Embassy in Budapest when he fled be fore the Soviet tanks and troops who crushed the revo lution. Fact Outlined Whether Tito actually has such proof of Russia's double cross is not known. But this much is fact: Suslov and Mikoyan came to Budapest in the last days of October and held long con ventions with Nagy, the pres ent party leader Janos Kadar and other top Hungarians. These discussions were held in the Hungarian Communist Party headquarters and in Nagy's office in the parlia ment building.

The Soviet cunter-offensive and Nagy's flight to Yugo slav asyluni came on Nov. 4. According to the experts, events that occurred between those dates caused the So viets to renege on their prom ises to Nagy and throw the full weight of their army against the Hungarian people. Suez Attacked First, they point out, the British and French attacked the Suez, threatening to de stroy Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Soviet's best friend Lehi IV To JuSy 5 for Hawaii To Prove Race Point Redondo Beach, Calif, (UPI) The 12-ton 'raft' Lehi IV will cast off for Hawaii July 5 on the first leg of a journey its captain hopes will further man's knowledge of the world's intermingling pop ulation. Capt. Devere Baker, 42, started earlier expeditions from the San Francisco Bay region and one of the rafts still is bobbing across the Pa cific Ocean. "Lehi I, which we were forced to abandon six years ago, is somewhere near Ta hiti, according to the last re ports," Baker said. "Five of Soviet Back Naav in The Arab world. Second, President Eisen hower, while showing no great concern about Hungary, re acted rapidly over the Suez, threatening to break with the British and French. Thus, the experts say, the Soviets ' were convinced the U.S. would not interfere in Hungary but would, in effect, protect Soviet interests in the Middle East. Nagy, meanwhile, was drift ing farther and farther from Moscow; giving rise to fears that Hungary might even en ter the Western camp. When it became safe to break the pledges to Nagy; the Soviets were ready. Set ships have boarded it to re fresh the batteries for its navigational lights and they report its latest' position to the Coast Guard.' The second Lehi is an chored in a bay near Ensen ada, Mexico. Lehi III was in corporated into Baker's new est craft. Baker has been working on what he terms "my proj ect" for 12 years. He sold his two shipbuilding companies in the Bay area to finance the work. His wife, " Nola, and two teen-age daughters are enthusiastic in Baker's sup port. Local Contributions Each of the rafts cost $30, 000, : Baker estimates. His fi nances have been boosted by contributions from various local groups. Accompanying Baker on the trip will .be four crew members: Larry Foglino, 27, a' member of an earlier expe dition who now lives at Glen dale, Calif.; Dee Jay Nelson, 36, of Vernal, Utah; Ed Ke kaula, 27, of Hawaii, and Dale Jackson, 26, San Marino, Calif. It is estimated the Hawaii trip will take three months and! serve as a "shakedown cruise." After Lehi IV reaches Ha waii it will be lifted aboard a freighter and taken to the Persian Gulf, where an at tempt will be made to swing across the Pacific . to South America with stops at India, Singapore and the Philip pines. Baker believes it may take a year for the trans-Pacific cruise. More Contributions The 12-inch square timbers used in construction of the raft were donated by the Re dondo Beach Chamber of Commerce, which also gave Baker the land on which to build Lehi IV. Baker claims the purpose of liis trip, is to focus world wide attention on, his belief that a highly civilized Semitic" race came to the Americas hundreds of years ago by fol lowing ocean currents. The Coast Guard, which in the past has been disturbed by Baker's trips, now takes a hands off stand in his regard. "We think it isjjto his own interests to inform authori ties; of his plans and estimated times, of arrival," a Coast Guard spokesman said. "How ever, this would be for his own protection only and he is not required to do so."

He explained that although the company had been proc essing commercially grown cherries in its fumigation chamber, it was not going to process those either. It re quires too much rearranging, Rombach said. Oak Grove Furniture com pany had been listed as one of the three fumigation cham bers in southern Oregon ap proved by the state depart ment of agriculture. The oth er two are operated by W. E. Holhbauch,' Grants Pass, and Harry Downs, Hugo. According to a release from Salem, the cherries must be fumigated in the approved fumigation chambers before they can be brought across the Oregon line into Califor nia and Idaho. This is to pre vent the spread of the cherry fruit fly. Rombach said following a recent news story the com pany received a number of telephone calls from non commercial cherry growers wanting to fumigate their cherries. "It isn't practical to process such small, individual amounts of. cherries," he said. The fumigating chamber is used for second-hand furni ture, a company spokesman said.

Miss Goede, who vanished with the boy on Saturdc was believed to have been the woman who turned little Joel over to an Ottawa taxi driver Monday. s Suicide Feared Fears were expressed that Miss Goede, who entered Can ada from Germany in 1954, may have committed suicide. The blue-eyed youngster, heir to a clothing chain store fortune, vanished after his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Reitman, left their $100,000 suburban Montreal home to visit friends. The boy's nurse maid also disappeared. A wo man answering her descrip tion was last seen in Ottawa on Monday morning after the child had been abandoned with cab driver Edward Roy er. Questioned about the sui cide rumors a senior Ottawa detective said the idea" was "feasible in a sense." Vancouver police contacted police in Montreal and Otta wa in the hope that they may be able to provide a slender clue to the woman's where abouts. Mr. and Mrs. Reitman drove to Ottawa late Tues day and Reitman was the first of the parents to reach little Joel. 'My Boy, My Boy' He leaped from his car, and raced across the street push ing reporters and photograph ers aside. He dashed into the home, threw his arms around his son and said, "My boy, my boy." Mrs. Reitman was only a second behind. With tears streaming down her cheeks she took her child from her husband and hugged him to her chest. She wept openly. But the center of all the emotion, Joel, didn't appear too disturbed by the scene. He kept reaching across his mother's shoulder trying to play with his grandmother's glasses.
