LONDON-The unhappy. far-off
days Of revolution and counter-re-
volution was recalled and shades OF
those tortured. hanged and shot
stirred again in Budapest. when the
high criminal court conducted its
own "Hauptmann trial"-that OF
Matthias RakoSi.
The crimes charged TO Bruno
Hauptmann and RakoSi were I'M
like. The cases we're similar In that
they each held the attention Of the
entire nation In which they we're
enacted and that both me faced
the death penalty.
They were unlike in that RakoSi
had once been tried and punished.
and there yer grave doubts as 10
whether there was justice in trying
him once more.
The Rakosi charges 60 back to the
mad. hectic. troubled days at the
end Of the World War. The Austro-
Hungarian empire crumbled. Aus
tria became an independent re-
public. Hungary did Likewise under
Count Michael Karolyi. a Sprig OF
that proud. naughty. rich Magyar
land-owning nobility that had ruled
the country for so long and which
not only despised the common folk.
but denied all rights TO racial min
critics.
Bella Kun Routed Karolyi
Karolyi was different. He was a
democrat. He tried to give the coun-
try a democratic republic. He was
hated on both sides. The Magyar
MOBILES hated him because he had
deserted" his class. The revolution
aries hated him because they want
ed a rule OF the proletariat. The
latter finally won.
Under the leadership Of Bella Kun
a BolShevik government inspired
by that Of Russia and partially fin
anced by Russian money. was set
up. Karolyi resigned as president.
Later. when his fellow Magyar
mobiles got their power back. they
condemned him TO permanent exile
and seized all his vast properties.
In the meantime. terrible history
was being written in Hungary. The
Czechs. who revolted against Aus
trian rule. had an army advancing
upon Hungary. Their object was TO
seize territory and confront the
peace treaty-makers with an accom-
plished fact. The Roumanians were
doing the same thing.
Bella Kun not only had to send
his revolutionary army against
these enemies. but he faced dan
gerous ones al home-all the Mag
var mobiles. II was then he alien
ated sympathy entirely. He sent
cruel Thor Samuel raging
through the country TO conduct
shotgun courts Of inquiry. Lead
ers opposed TO the Bolshevik re-
CINE were shot or hung. The exact
number Of victims never has been
known.

existing regime, the French sug-

government in Szeged. Admiral

Farmers Vote Today
! On AAA Wheat Plan
international News Service

The fate of the AAA, or that
part of it which concerns wheat,
was at stake today as hundreds
of thousands of growers went to
the polls to ballot on the question
of continuing the restriction pro-
gram and the processing taxes
for another year.
Agriculture officials here believe
approximately 100000 farmers
will participate in this unique
election" and that their verdict
will be overwhelmingly in favor
of continuance.
Since the inception of AAA
nearly 1000 million dollars has
flowed out to producers of farm
products in benefit checks, and
of this amount it is estimated
approximately 165 million dollars
has gone to wheat growers.
Should the continuance be voted
down in today's balloting, it
would be almost a. lethal blow
at the entire AAA, for while the
election concerns only wheat, the
AAA has similar restriction
schemes in operation affecting
cattle, corn. hogs, cotton, and
other primary products.
