Purging Government
|Of 'Tiioiid' Elements
BY The Assoeioted Press

VIENNA. Austria, June L.
Hungary's Communist govern
ment and party appear to be in
the throes Of purge of Titoist
elements. Western diplomatic
sources here asserted last night.
They said their belief that a
widespread housecleaning Of Ma
tionalist, anti Moscow elements is
in progress is based on recent re-
ports of the dismissal and disap-
|pearance Of several top govern
|ment officials and party leaders.
Ex- Chief Reported Arrested.
The London Daily Telegraph
said yesterday that former Hun
garian President Arpad Szakasits
has been arrested on charges Of
spying for hostile powers. The
sources here said they could not
confirm this.
Mr.. Szakasits is a former Social
Democrat leader who merged his
party with the Communists in
1948. He resigned last year be-
cause Of ill health"
Back of the opinion that purge
/ is going on in Hungary is the re-
cent resignation of Hungarian
Foreign Minister Gyula Kallai. the
dismissal Of Interior Minister San
dor zold and the disappearance
of a number Of prominent Com
munists close to Hungary's strong
man. Matyas Rakosi.
Leaders Fade From Scene.
Among those who haven't been
heard from recently are Ference
Donath, head of Rakosi's political
secretariat; Guyla Losonci, under
secretary for education: and a
Gen. Ratulovsky, former chief OF
the Budapest police. the sources
said.
Another development pointing
to possible purge was the recent
call for new Communist party
elections Ito improve the party
cadres."
Istvan Kovacs. Politbureah
member. was quoted as saying the
elections were necessary because
lack Of vigilance and irrespon-
sible work Of the party cadres has
