the letters have been delivered
by members of the Hungarian
diplomatic staff here who then

threats to induce the refugees to

Msgr. Varga said he testified
publicly after "a serious moral
conflict" of conscience because
he has in Hungary a 78-year-old
father and other relatives.
The witness said he received
a letter last year from the Hun
garian Legation here offering
him amnesty if he would return
to Hungary. Earlier, he had
testified that he had fed from
his native country in 1947. with
the help of the underground

He testified he did not an

was given in a letter dropped
by balloons in Hungary. He
said the letter read: II will not

ward they began to prosecute
my family" He said his brother
was arrested six times last year
and my old father, who has a
little farm" was visited by
secret police and his home was
searched.
Msgr. Varga said he learned
this information from the Hun
|garian underground since he has
had no connection with his fam
lily since fleeing from Hungary
The witness said the Commu-
mist redefection campaign has
been partly successful because
lit is a basic human desire for
families to wish to be united
He suggested that the United
States Government combat the
campaign by insisting that pass
ports and exit permits be grant
led by the Hungarian Govern
ment to members of a refugees
family who wish to come to the
United States.
Quiz on Seamen
Before Msgr. Varga testified
the subcommittee questioned
other witnesses regarding the
five Russian seamen in what
Senator Jenner. Republican OF
Indiana, who presided at the
hearing, describes as an effort
ito piece together the story OF
terrorism" in this country.
A former Russian Army engi-
neer, Col. vladimir Rudolph
Urasov, said letters he has re-
ceived and his conversations with
the Russian seamen "refutes en-
tirely the forced declarations
they gave in Moscow" After the
|seamen had returned to Moscow
the Soviet press quoted them as
saying they had been beaten
tortured and bounded to keep
them from returning home.
The subcommittee also re-
|ceiyed copies of letters sent to
the State Department by the re-
turned sailors disputing the
claims they gave in Moscow that
they had been denied an oppor-
tunity to talk with Soviet repre-
sentatives in this country. The
letters revealed that the men had

themselves, who need new out
lets for their expanding econ
omy. But a more important
objection voiced by the Amer
Iicans, British and Canadians Is
that NATO has no business be-
looming actively involved in this
sort of economic warfare.
The even far more modest
ideas of the French and Italians
Iare being received with a good
deal of skepticism. Yesterday
Foreign Minister Pineau outlined
flor Secretary of State Dulles
la proposal that NATO powers
should set up some sort of ma
chinery for co-ordinating theil
various programs Of economic
aid. Foreign Minister MARITIME
has tabled a similar suggestion
Iaimed at harmonizing the eco
Inomic programs Of member coun-
tries.
4 The general reaction is that
when it comes to co-ordi-
/ mating economic policy within
Europe itself a number Of in
stitutions already exist including
the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation, the Coal
Steel Community and the Gen.
eral Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade. And in the matter Of
aid programs it is felt strongly
that the United Nations is fAl
better equipped to do the JOB
of co-ordinating the effort than
INATO could be.
In fact, when it comes to
assigning a new economic role
to NATO objections at this
point seem to outweigh the ad-
vantages. Except as a forum
for general discussion among
! friends, most of the ministers
seem to feel that NATO's future
in this field must continue to be
severity limited.
Political Problems
Much of the same problem
seems to apply to the political
field where no concrete proposal
for expanding the scope OF
INATO's activity has been ad-
vanced so far. Foreign Min
lister Pearson has gone further
than anyone in suggesting that
consultation within the NATO
council should be expanded to

would think of taking action
which affected the others in any
Substantial way" without prior
discussion. But although Mr.
Pearson says he is willing
Ienough to discuss the question
of Cyprus or Algeria or Canadi-
, an policy in the Arctic. his Brit.
fish and French colleagues have
! shown no similar open minded
!, ness. One wonders whether Mr.
Dulles is entirely ready to debate
American policy in the Far East
with our European allies. Ano
assuming he is, whether this
would result in drawing NATC
closer together.

, Imistic to compare the upcomins
NATO meeting with the confer.

four years ago. Then, at least
there was complete agreement or

Europe and the kind of actor
called for. The problem was spe-
cific and the detectives perfectly
clear.
Compared to Lisbon. the prob
lem which faces NATO today ii

Frank Harris used to say of
Bernard Shaw that it was
clever of Shaw to sugar-coat
his plays messages. but more
clever OF audiences to lick
off the sugar-coating and leave
the message.
There is no Shaw play in the
immediate vicinity to justify
use Of Harris observation to
start a Sunday column.
Nevertheless. there are a
couple of eloquent plays and a
movie or two which do have
messages that are concealed in
a variety of delicious flavors.
Separately and collectively,
they are good for the spirit of
man who wakes up morning
after morning with the ten
sionS which he hoped would
go away while he slept.
Why are they good?
Note Is Cheerful
Well, generally speaking, the
messages are cheerful. Or
lacking this quality, they sug-
gest that good minds are at
work on bad situations made
worse by human frailty.
To be specific, among the
current major entertainment
projects in the area is one of
the most brilliant peace plays

time getting to this country
and which gave Broadway its
highest distinction last season,
has established itself at once as
one of Olney's greatest hits.
This is no more than its de-
serving for here is play that
is as glittering in its wit as it
is serious in basic theme.
In taking the lightest posi-
BILE approach to the darkest
of human dilemmaS, NJ. Girau-
doux juxtapoSed two altogether
fascinating human creatures.
One of these is Hector, ancient
Troy's greatest general, the
other Helen, its greatest hoy
den. From war, Hector has
learned that it is He'll and
should be outlawed. Helen, on
the other hand, has learned
that it is as good a way as any
of falling into such strong male
animal arms as those of Paris.
Contrast Sharp
In the conflict between them,
Hector represents the noble.
moral man and responsible
human; Helen and her hand
some paramour the amoral
irreSponsibles.
This is Grecian drama in
the dress of modern thought
and sharpness of wit. 1t could
not be more timely in its
meaning and the production
directed by Leo Brady catches
its every intelligent. ironic
shading in the performance
of a company headed by Lau-
renee Hugo and Geraldine
Brooks. The latter, as Helen,
makes the world the bedroom
of her tragi-comic conflict
with Hector. Sex in summer
