Urge Karolyi to
Assume Control in
Hungary Again :

Vienna, Friday, July 11.-One of
the solutions suggested here for a
way out of the present political
situation in Hungary is that Count
Michael Karolyi again assumes the
presidency which he surrendered to
the Communists several months ago.
1t is said that Karolyi is the only
prominent man left in Hungary who
can steer middle course between
all parties. However it is under
stood, Count Karolyi is still stoutly
opposed to the Hungarian territorial
changes adopted by the Peace Con-
ference and would not accept the
leadership of the government with
the present boundaries after having
turned over the government to the
Communists for that reason
