The note wo sent to Brig. Gen.
George H. Weems, American mem
ber of the allied control commission
In Budapest, for delivery to Lt. Gen.

Note Delivered
Wemse bad the note delivered at
Svlrldov office before noon. It
was received by MaJ. Gen. I. I.
Levushkln, aide to the ranking
Soviet general, a Budapest dispatch
said.
The document brought out the
fact that on two previous occasions,
March 5 and March 17, substan
tially the same request had been
turned down by Svlrldov. Hence
authorities here said they see no
reason to believe that It would get
a different reception by the Rus
sians this time.
Further Action
The note itself said simply that
unless there were an -adequate in
vestigation" by nn Anglo-American-Russian
commission, the United
States as a signer of the Yalta
declaration and the armistice with
Hungary and as a membe of the
United Nations would consider
"further action."
Because this virtually put Russia
on notice of an impending appeal
to the U. N. some official said the
Soviets might agree formally to a
three-power Inquiry but then try to
put roadblock in the commission's
path.
