Too many BIG things are hap- SfSShMJlSSS- el!,-0ld '".I us such IMMENSE promise if they should turn out to be true that the tiresome yackety-yack-ing of the professional politicians leaves us cold and unresponsive. Our eyes are fixed on more lignificant horizons. American correspondents are ar riving in Hungary, and we're be ginning to get news. One of them tells us this morning that the fighting in Budapest has been far bloodier than had hitherto' ap peared. Some three thousand per sons, he says, have already been killed in the capital city alone and up to 50,000 wounded. That's WAR not just mere guerrilla sniping. There is a strong hint in the news of typical communist treach ery. Early today, the communist newspaper in Budapest conceded FULL VICTORY to the Hungarian , rebels. It said Russian troops were i being withdrawn from Budapest gan to fishtail and went out of con and the correspondents on the Urol. ground actually saw Russian ' n went off the left side of the trucks loaded with Russian dead jroad,' climbed an embankment ap and wounded moving out of the proximately 15 feet high, and city. Then The communist radio announced that Russian troops wouldn't leave : the city until 24 hours after the rebels had turned in their arms. At the same time there were re ports of MORE Russian troops be ing rushed into Hungary. A rebel radio station announced defiantly that the rebels won't stop fighting until the Russians are clear out of Hungary, because "no one can believe communist promises." About that time communications were cut off again and as this is written there is no further news. Meanwhile from all over the world expressions of sympathy with the Hungarian rebels are pouring forth. In Rome, thousands of students march through the streets cheering them. In P a r I s, the Socialist Transportation Work ers union calls for mass demon strations in front of the Russian embassy supporting the Hungarian uprising. In the eyes of the world, Russia is being definitely identified as a bloody tyrant. Tension rises in the Middle East, where Israel calls for partial mo bilization of her military forces. In Cairo, Arab League officials say: "If Israel attacks, we are ready." Evacuation of American families on both sides of the Israel-Arab frontier is reported to bo under way. In Washington, State Secretary Dulles calls in members of the senate foreign relations commit tee to discuss with them the Mid dle Eastern situation, which is described as so grave that shoot ing might start at any moment. As to that, this much is clear: If Russia is kept too busy with what seems to be happening in Eastern Europe to mix into the Arab-Israeli ruckus the situation there can be handled. With the world in a new up roar, the New York stock mar ket is behaving strangely. It RAL LIED strongly this morning. At noon, the Associated Press 60-stock average was UP 1.2 points. That is unusual. In the modern world, threats of shooting war tend to ' , seno me c.,a.,gcs a ta.Upin. How come? i It must be that among investors j generally there is an upsurge of I n.

That could change the whole outlook of the world.

Hungarian Situation 'Tense' BULLETIN VIENNA m The high com mand of the Hungarian army an nounced Monday night that rebel in Budapest will surrender their arms at 9 a.m. Tuesday, It said the withdrawal of Russian troops from the city has already started. VTE'NA. V Huisary's sliafwn Communist government said Mon day night Soviet troops would leave Budapest as soon as the rebels lay down their arms. De fiant rebel radio broadcasts im mediately rejected the whole idea. The Freedom Radio at Gyoer, rebel stronghold in the northwest, called on revolution fighters to hang on to their weapons and not surrender to Premier Imre Nagy a tool of the Communists. The rebel radio at Miskolc urged students in Budapest to pay no heed to the reported agreement for Soviet forces to pull out 24 hours after the rebels disarm themselves, In Moscow, Soviet Foreign Min ister Shepilov backed up Nagy with a declaration that Russian soldiers would not be pulled out of Buda pest until the rebels lay down their weapons.

The agreement concerning the surrender of rebel arms was con- eluded by Defense Minister Karoly Janza. It was not announced who negotiated for the forces of the rebellion. . " . r The' 'broadcast' ;said th3 agree ment provided that Russian army forces will leave Budapest 24 hours after rebel weapons have been delivered.

He said the most important concession in prin ciple was an acknowledgement that the revolution was "caused by the grave crimes of the past decade." Dissolution of the security po lice and departure of Russian troops from the capital would ful fill two of the extensive conces sions made to the rebels by Pre mier Imre Nagy Sunday. While the Communist govern ment has not promised free elec tions, free press and other demo cratic institutions demanded by a large segment of the rebels, it was generally lelt here the rebels have won a solid victory.

V Suez Canal In Path Of Invaders JERUSALEM W The Israeli army drove across the Egyptian border toward the Suez Canal Monday night and appeared to have gone at least 75 miles into Egyptian territory. The two pronged attack was announced by Israeli military authorities. The announcement said units attacked across the border near the Egyptian town of El Kuntilla, about 40 miles north of the Gulf of Aqaba, and at Ras el Naaeb, about 10 miles north of Aqaba. They took up positions at Nahel said Kuntilla, or El Kuntilla. is on the Sinai Peninsula. The Bible says Ishmael, ancestor of the Arabs, lived there. The action was announced in the midst of a Middle East war scare. Israel is on a war footing. The United States is evacuating its citizens from Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Syria. The announcement said the at tack was necessary because of what it called continued Egyptian attacks on citizens and on Israeli I sea and land communications.

In the Israeli side of Jerusalem regular traffic and business were slowed by a heavy movement of troops, guns, tanks and reservists. From 7,000 to 8.000 Americans in Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Syria were affected by State Depart ment warnings and orders ts leave for points of safety. Tourists, business people and others in the four countries not performing "es sential functions" were urged Is leave.- AIRLIFT Two chartered planes airlifted the first group of 75 Americans being evacuated from Jordan. It was estimated 250 Americans would be flown out of the coun try and another 25 would leave by car. Most nonessential British per sonnel already has been evac uated from the Middle East. The air of crisis was heightened by the announcement of Israeli military authorities Monday that three suicide bands of Arab com mandos had crossed Into Israel from the Egyptian-held Gaza strip Sunday night and two of the groups were captured. Increased activity of these bands was one reason given for the Israeli mobilization.
