BY the Assoeiofed Press

VIENNA. Austria, Feb. 21.-
Thirty top Jewish Communists
in Hungary were reported to-
night either to have committed
suicide or otherwise fallen victim
to a purge dictated by a visiting
Russian group.

matte and usually reliable un-

them as not fully confirmed but
the best available information
from the neighboring Communist
nation.
The same sources reported a
growing economic crisis in Hun
gary. long lines of persons before
bread stores and the threat of
real hunger late in the spring.
BY their accounts:
The 80 Jewish Communists
were removed one way or another
from their high posts by a group
of Russian burgers who arrived
in Budapest several weeks ago.
They were rumored sent because
fully 80 per cent of the top Off
cialS Of the Hungarian Com
muniSt regime are jews. includ-
ing Premier Matyas Rakosi.
Some Victims Executed.
The 80 allegedly were "sus-
pected zionists' and, throughout
the east European Soviet bloc,
Communism has been attacking
Jews suspected of the slightest
sympathy for Israel.
Some of the group killed them
selves. others disappeared. some
were arrested and some were ex-
ecuted by firing squads.
Reported suicides: Zoltan Vas,
head of the state economic plan
ming office. and 10 high officers
of the political police.
