Million Voters Barred
BY Hungarian Ruses,
u. ). and Britain Saw
BY the Asseeioted Press

The long-standing diplomatic
argument over what constitutes
free" elections ragged anew to-
day with Anglo American
charges that a million non Com
munist voters are being disquali-
fled in Hungary.
A United States statement de-
clared the Communist-domin
government at Budapest is resort
ing to such "grotesque" pretexts as
listing Jews as Nazis and old
women as prostitutes in order to
bar them from taking part in next
Sundays balloting on members for
Hungarian national legislature.
The British said thousands of
voters were being disqualified for
mo good reasons"
Both governments instructed
their representatives in Budapest to
urge Lajos Dinnyes, Hungarian
prime minister, to take "all neces-
sary steps" to correct what the
State Department called "the pre-
Vdlllng electoral ABUSES.
Communists Called Minority"
The State Departments off1cial
statement declared this government
desires to prevent denial to the
Hungarian people of freedoms
guaranteed by the peace treaty be-
tween Hungary and the victorious
powers.
1t referred to the Communist
Party as the minority" and ac-
cused it of "unwarranted interfer-
ence" with the right of the op-
position parties to prepare freely
their own lists Of candidates.
The statement contended there
had been wholesale disfranchise-
ment Of voters by the Com
munist- controlled electoral machine
amounting to 10 per cent of the
voters in some districts and esti-
mated at 20 per cent of the elec-
'torate. or about j, ,000, 900 Hungarian
citizens, throughout the country"
THE overwhelming majority Of
Hungarian citizens thus far dis
franchised are nom Communists,
the statement said. ""The charges
on which potential voters have lost
their suffrage rights border on the
grotesque.
Many Abuses Charged.
"Citizens of the Jewish faith have
been disqualified on the accuse ton
of having been members Of Nszi
organizations: Old women, of being
prostitutes; factory workers, of
belonging to the former landed
nobility. persons so listed cannot
vote under the country's election
laws.)
Thousands of persons have arbi-
trarily been classified as mentally
deranged. Appeals against dis
Embellishments are permitted by
law, but the burden of proof rests
upon the citizens and the right of
review is in the hands of the Com
munist controlled political police.
Moreover, only eight days are al
lowed for the review OF all appeals,
period clearly inadequate, in view
of the large number of cases, for
judicious consideration OF the evi-
dence."
The department asserted that a
Communist arrangement exists for
supervising the lists OF candidates
prepared by other political parties,
obtained through pressure. 1t is OBJ
viously intended to assure the Com
munist Party and its collaborators
control of the new legislature re-
gardless of the outcome of the bal
lottng, the statement added.

New Riotine Feared
After Decisions Fixinq
State Lines in India
BY the Asseeiassd Press

NEW DELHI, Aug. 1s.-High
Eoncials of India and Pakistan con-
ferred today in an effort to quell
bloody communal strife In the Pun
jab, which observers feared might be
aggravated by a boundary commits
sion's decision dividing the province
between the new Hindu and Moslem
states.
The conferences were begun in
the provincial capital at Lahore,
with British military authorities
sitting in, as the commission filed a
report yesterday awarding the
greater part of both the Punjab and
Bengal to Pakistan, which originally
had claimed all of both provinces
on the ground they had Moslern
ma ajorities.
While the governments Of India
and Pakistan had agreed in ad-
vance to accept the commission S
decisions, 1t appeared unlikely that
the militant Sikh minority in the
Punjab would be satisfied with the
division of that province.
Lahore Goes to Pakistan.
Under the commissions decision,
the city of Lahore, ravaged by
months of communal rioting, goes to
Pakistan. Amritsar, the holy city
Of the Sikhs IS miles to the north
east, is to be in India. but another
important Sikh shrine - Nankana
Sahib. where Guru Nanak, founder
of the Sikh religion was born--is
well inside Pakistan.
Thousands of Sikhs and Hindus,
anticipating that Lahore would be
in Pakistan, already had fled the
city prior to the commissions re-
port. Hundreds of others have died
in the city, once known as "the
Paris of India" during the past
three weeks of fighting between the
bitterly opposed religious communi-
ties.
In Bengal, Calcutta larg-
est city and second in size only to
London of all the cities in the
British commonwealth-goes to the
new Hindu state of India.
The boundary commissions report
disclosed that all of its decisions
were made by its British chairman.
Sir Cyril Radcliffe. the Indian men,
bers being unable to agree.
While Indian and Pakistan Of
icials met at Lahore, Sikh leaders
gathered at Ambala to decide on
their course. There was no immed-
late indication of their attitude,
however.
In New Delhi, an announcement
said the Government of both the
East and West Punjah-the Pakistan
portion of the province-would give
maximum assistance toward the
evacuation of refugees from one
province to another"
In Lyon, France, Colonial Minister
Marius Moutet announced yesterday
that French India, which has a
population of $4,000 dwelling in an
area of 1856 square miles on the east
coast, would become an establish
ment Of five free cities within the
French Union.
The free cities will be Pondichery,
