majority of Hungarian workers
already were on strike. They
are making a last-ditch effort
to win concessions from the gov
eminent in the face of Russian
guns and food and fuel short
ages.
The effect of the new back
to-work call remained to be seen.
The partial agreement" men
toned in the broadcast listed
none of the strikers main de-
mands. These include withdrawal
of the Russian troops and the
return to power of Imre Macy, a
nationals" Communist who
became Premier briefly after the
bloody anti-Soviet revolt erupted.
Once before the workers lead
ers called of the original strike.
The workers switched to a sit
down.
May Elect Directors
Budapest radio said the gov
eminent had acknowledged the
workers council as a "corpo-
rated body for negotiating pur-
poses Mr.. Kadar also promised
to suggest to his cabinet that the
workers elect factory directors
from number of aspirantS."
The broadcast said the coun-
Gil was continuing negotiations
with Mr. Kadar and had re-
served the right to call the
strike again if no progress were
reached.
A later broadcast confirmed a
Yugoslav announcement that
Mr.. Macy and several of his fol-
lowers had left their sanctuary
in the Yugoslav Embassy in
Budapest and returned to their
homes. The radio said the
group left after guarantees were
given they would not be perse-
cuted.
Mr. Macy entered the Embassy
November 4 when Russian tanks,
which had withdrawn from the
Hungarian capital. returned to
crush the revolt which had in
stalled him. Macy had promised
free elections, negotiations to get
the Russian troops out of Hun
gary and withdrawal from the
Warsaw pact.
Priest Is Arrested
Although Mr.. Macy and his
associates apparently were not
molested. a report from Buda-
pest said a secretary of Josef
Cardinal Mindzenty, Father Egon
Turchany. was arrested as he
tried to leave Hungary in an
automobile with an American
newsman. The priest was re-
ported imprisoned at Goedoeloe
near Budapest. The cardinal,
Roman Catholic primate of Hun
gary. was still a refugee in the
United States Embassy in Buda-
pest.
The Budapest radio broadcast
what it called a statement by
the Central Workers Council OF
the big Csepel iron and metal
plant. After criticizing both the
strike call by the Central Council
and the governments action
hating the workers meeting

said they would send a delega-
ton to the government ito pro-
test against the unjustified ar
rests and disappearances noted
