Soothing Attack
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

BUDAPEST, hungary, June IL.
"A prominent member of Par
lament denounced the new
Communist controlled govern
ment today and called on the
Smallholders Party to adopt
Communist tactics If it ever
hoped to set up real democracy
In Hungary.
Freedom Party Leader Deszo Sui
yok made a sarcastic, hour-long de-
nunciation Of the new regime, set
up after the resignation of Premier
Ferenc Macy. He said it had made
Hungary police state.
THE widest and most objection
able political terror reigns IN Hun
gary" he said. There is no free
dom of press, assembly or opinion" "
Parliament Adjourned.
Deputy Speaker Istvan Kossa,
Communist leader and secretary
general of the Trades Union Coun-
ell, arbitrarily adjourned Parlia-
ment until next Wednesday when
Mr.. Sulyok concluded his speech.
The action caused a great uproar
among the anti Communist mem
bers. who charged that Mr.. Kossa
was trying to silence two other op-
position members who had sched-
uled speeches.
Earlier. an American informant
said the Russians had denied clear
ance to enter Hungary for Harold
Snyder, an American representative
of the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organiza-
ton.
Parliament was in turmoil
throughout Mr.. Sulyok's address.
Angry Communists shouted and
jeered. Natyas Rakosi, the deputy
premier and Communist leader who
also is Russian citizen. went from
desk to desk, whispering with mem
bers of his party.
Midway through the speech, word
got around that the American note
criticizing events leading to the
custer of Mr.. Macy, had been deliv-
cred. Much excitement prevailed.
Hailed as Brave MAN.
Many corridor comments were
made that Mr.. Sulyok was brave
man to defy the Communists, for
they easily could have him arrested.
Mr.. Sulyok. former member OF
the Smallholders' Party, was one OF
the first victims in what the Amerl-
can note described as Communist
plan to nuIlify the result of the No
vember, 1945, elections. Always a
critic of the Communists, Mr.. Sui
yok was among the first 18 persons
forced out of the Smallholders'
Party in February, 1916, after re-
peated Communist assertions that
he was "a reactionary."
Whenever we announce a polit-
ical meeting" Mr.. Sulyok declared,
"an unruly mass of 400 to 500 per-
sons, amply armed, we'll paid, and
quite drunk, appears and-according
to prearranged plans-upsets the
meeting and in most cases, even uses
violence against the audience and
the speakers"
He said that after one such occur
renee, five or six people" were ar
rested for fighting back.
Those 400 or 500 who attacked
us were the defenders of democ-
racy," Mr.. Sulyok said in his dry,
sarcastic voice.
Resistance Group Interned.
"They were honest people, decent
people. Their acts were praised. |
The five or six people who resisted
their blows and even hit back were
declared the enemies of democracy,
a group illegally armed, to be ar
rested on the spot. Although they
had only stick, they were declared
to be members of the armed SIS, and
they were arrested and interned, as
is true in many cases, on the orders
of the Minister of Interior"
Laszlo Rajk, Minister of the In
terror and a leading Communist,
shouted from his seat: In many
cases, rightly So
Our men," Mr. Sulyok went on.
"have been arrested one after the
other. This glorious, democratic
hangman work began With the ar
rest of students at Szeged, who were
demonstrating against "a proposed
law providing) optional religious
education.
I'VE have become a police state
where the influence of the police
not only weighs heavier and heavier
on public life but has become intol-
cradle to the private life OF the
individual"
Alliance Negotiations Reported.
A reliable informant said yesterday
that Russia is negotiating a new
peace time alliance designed to align |
the Hungarian and Russian armies
in the event of war. |
