A great search is on for a new

ministration drafts plans for q

Foreign aid on a grand scale has

billions Of dollars are set aside for
this purpose year after year. A

INDIA ON HUNGARY
The Story Behind

stressed, was that the present move
ment in Hungary was q popular
movement" with great masses Of
Hungarians, including the workers,
the youth and even the army, be-
hind 1t. It was q nationalist upris-
ing" he added
Mr.. Nehru attached great signifi-
canoe to the fact that at the end
of 10 years Hungarians had not
been converted to communism. This
showed a certain failure of COM
munism which was a "far greater
failure than the failure Of a mill
tary coup"
Loud cheers greeted his remark
that he had mo doubt that sooner
or later, the Hungarian peoples
desire for freedom, which has been
demonstrated so vividly, is bound
to triumph"
Almost all members, who took
part in the two-day debate, spoke
with great feeling against Russian
military aggression. Even the
deputy leader of the Communist
group, Hiren Mukerjee, conceded
that Soviet role in Hungary had
been clumsy and sometimes nasty
on account of a certain panic"
lndio's U. N. Role
Some misunderstanding seems to
have been created abroad by the
Indian vote on the u. N. resolution
asking for withdrawal of Russian
troops from Hungary. AS Mr..
Nehru and several other Indian
spokesmen have stressed, India was
against the operative part" of the
resolution alone. which asked for
general elections in Hungary under
U. N. auspices.
I'VE took strong exception to
this" Mr.. Nehru has explained,
because we felt this was contrary
to the U. N. Charter and would re-
duce Hungary to less than
sovereign state. Any acceptance Of
intervention of this type and
foreign-supervised elections seemed
to us to set a bad precedent which
might be utilized in future for in
tervention in other countries"
Indians have been deeply moved
by the plight Of the Hungarian
people, and medical supplies are
being flown for their relief. Mass
meetings and professions have been
held in all big cities, supporting
the Hungarian people and denounc-
ing the Soviet action. Editorial
comment has been widespread and
vehement against Russia,
Even India'S Communist Party
has been unable to explain the role
of the Soviet Union in Hungary.
The general secretary of the
Communist Party of India, Alloy
Ghosh. had to confess shock" at
the developments in Hungary,
Writing in the Cpl official organ,
New Age, he said: Democratic
minded people are unable to UNDER
stand why the, rebellion assumed
such vast dimensions. They are
unable to understand why Soviet
troops had to be used to quell what
appeared to be internal uprising"
Events in Hungary have seriously
damaged Russia'S prestige with the
"uncommitted" countries. Indians
are beginning to believe that the
co-existence and goodwill theme of
the Russian "thaw" has been a
farce.

gigantic sweep Of soldiers and civil
ians began.
There seems to be no doubt that
about $780, 900 persons were deported
to the USSR. OF this number,
325.000 were soldiers and 295, 900
were civilians, including women and
children.
Some Of the POWs were returned
and assigned to forced labor camps
in Hungary. AS a matter of fact,
the puppet Hungarian government,
anxious to build up its industrial
base. asked the Soviet Union for
permission to keep political pris-
oners for home projects.
The second roundup" took place
in 1850 and 1851. This was a par
ticularly vicious, cold-blooded drive
on the middle class, intellectuals
and what was left of the aristocracy.
The deportations were of two kinds
Ito the Soviet Union and to work
centers within the country.
An estimated 10000 were taken
at that time in boxcars to the
Soviet Union. And nearly 100,O 900
were assigned to the 90-odd forced
labor camps within the country.
The internal forced labor system is
highly organized, embracing urani-
um mining, quarries and building
construction particularly.
Reports of suicides, deaths in the
cattle cars. indignities and great
suffering inflicted on the aged
filtered through to the free world.
Msgr. Bella Varga, formGr -nS<sldent
of the Hungarian Parliament, pub
llShed tragic document, "Genocide
by Deportation.
There was little that anyone could
do. But the International Labour
Office of the United Nations did
publish in 1858 report on Forced
Labour." And in 1858 another u. N.
group also published a report on
Forced Labour."
Serov Wrote the Book
Wherever the Hungarlans OF the
revolt Of 1856 are being taken, the
free world can be assured that they
are in the hands Of an expert.
Soviet Gen. Ivan Serov, the man
who literally wrote the "book" on
the care and transport Of deportees
repeatedly is in Hungary.
Gen. Serov. Soviet state security
chief, supervised the deportation Of
more than a million Poles at the
time of the Polish partition in 1899.
He was a chief official in the trans
porting and liquidation of anti
Soviet Ukranians during World
War II.
His speciality was documented
when orders and instructions he
issued on the handling Of popula-
tions to be deported from the Baltic
states in the early l940s were cap
tured by Lthuanians during brief
revolt.

Yet with years of evidence of past

Foreign Minister Dmitri T. Shepi-
lov Indignantly denied to the U. N.
General Assembly last month that
Hungarians were being deported.
"A fantastic lie" he said.
The majority of U. N. member
nations were satisfied. however, that
the reports on deportations, though
fragmentary, were true. AS result
they voted through demand that
the deportations cease and those
persons abducted be returned.
Though the picture is hazy. it ap-

have been taken away in boxcars
headed East since the Russians be-
gan their countermeaSures against
the revolutionists a month ago.

HERBERT HOOVER, JR
He's In While Dulles Is Out

head Of the International CO.
operation Administration. The
All Club" was loosely described
as the "Old Guard" isolationist
center of the Eisenhower team.
This Characterization of Mr..
Hoover may result in part from
the emotional response his name
still evokes from many Americans.
To some it is reminder of the Bit
ter days Of the depressing depres-
sion while to others it is reminder
OF the good old days Of rugged
individualism, the gold standard
and a Government free of the
welfare state taint.
1t may well be that Mr.. Hoover
is more accurately described as a
bridge between the old Republic
canism represented by his father
and the new Republicanism Of
Dwight Eisenhower, having some Of
the characteristics of both.
He DisIikes Publicity
Mr.. Hoover has shown a life
long dislike Of publicity and pub
lie attention. For the most part.
he has avoided it successfully.
Although those few who know him
intimately describe him as warm
hearted and friendly. he impresses
many people as shy, withdrawn,
aloof. distrusting.
Newsmen. accustomed to the
relatively accessible Mr.. Dulles and
his key colleagues, find Mr.. Hoover
unavailable and uncommunicative.
And there is more than a little
evidence that State Department
press aides themselves encounter
similar difficulties.
His strong aversion to the SPOT
light Of publicity was illustrated
some years ago when he resigned
an airline post which kept him to
some extent in the public eye. He
explained at the time that he
wanted no position where every
slimy politician, every scandal
monger and every character
assassin in the country will rise TO
defame the honored name bear"
But his decision to accept the
State Department assignment re-
vealed 3 deeper sentiment. Under
certain circumstances. he said,
when things are put up TO you
as a matter Of duty to serve your
country, 1t IL extraordinarily DIFF
ncult to say no."
II may be that Mr.. Hoover's
withdrawn air stems partly from
the fact that he is partially deaf
as q result Of a childhood illness,
and wears a hearing aid.
Mr.. Hoover. now so. was born
In London. Like his father, he be-
came a mining engineer and ne

As we sit here this afternoon these boxcors
iommed with these unfortunate humcn
beings ore rottlins owoy to the cold Of
Siberio. Henry cObOt Lodge. j.
To Hungarians, witnessing the
third mass deportation Of their
fellow citizens to the Soviet Union
in IL years, the boxcar has become
dread symbol Of the very Soviet
puppet rule they have tried to
throw of.
Those boxcarS described by AM
bassador Lodge to the United Ma
tionS on November IS are part of q
long, long line Of freight and cattle
cars that have transported Hun.
garians away from their homes over
the years.
Where have they been taking
them this time? Will they be kept
together or will they be disbursed
throughout that vast land? Are
conditions in the slave camps as
grim today as they were in the
days of Stain and Beria?
The answers to these questions
can come only from the captives
and their captors. But if history is
a guide, the Hungarians can expect
to be distributed throughout the
Soviet slave camp system. There
have been reports of men being
sent to the dreary lead and tin
mines of the Caucasus. Others have
been taken on the interminable
haul to the gold mining camps of
Kolyma in the Soviet Far East,
Others have stayed in the industrial
Ural region.
There is evidence that the largest
numbers have been sent in the past
to the infamous Vorkhuta coal pits
about 800 miles north of Moscow,
only few miles from the Kara Sea
OF the Arctic Ocean.
Reports of conditions at York.
huta are not pleasant. There are
about 80 camps with $500 inmates
