Big Three Set To Deal
With Hungarian Regime

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - R -
The United States, Britain and
Russia apparently are preparing
to deal with the provisional Hung
arian government of Colonel Gen

The first act to regularize rela.
lions probably will be the signing
of an armistice, which the Allies
are now rushing to completion.
Miklos was about to ask for an
armistice last October when the
Nazis poured troops into Hungary

later escaped to Russian controll-
ed territory.

which declares that it has ''the

Miklos, VINO was commander of
the First Hungarian Army,
brought over most of the general
staff when he left Budapest for
Russian-occupied territory.
Officials expressed the belief
that signature of an armistice
would encourage many more
Hungarian units to go over to the
Allies.
The armistice probably will be
signed in Moscow by military COM
manders, although it is still open
whether Russian commander
