CINCINNATI, Nov. 81 (P).-
James A. Wechsler, editor of the
New York Post. declared in a
speech last night that 1.-THE
United States press is over

bate"
"And I use the word AK ad-
Ivisedly," he said at a meeting OF
the Jewish Community Center.
Il know it is freer press than
any prevailing in Communist OF
Fascist countries, but that is
nothing to be complacent about,
Mr.. Wechsler said, adding:
1T is a press that has grown
comfortable. fat and self
righteous; and which with some
noteworthy exceptions voice the
prejudice and preconceptions OF
entrenched wealth rather thar
that critical inquiry. rebelliouS
spirit we associate with our no.
blest journalistic traditions.
1T is a press that is far more
concerned with the tax privileges
Of any fat cat than with the care
and feeding Of any underdog.
1T is a press that sanctimoni-
ously boasts Of its independence
and means by that its right to dc
what its Republican owner.

1T is a press that is far more

other refugees and cause then
to turn back from the border.
The refugees said the woods
was near Bozsok, which is across
the frontier from the Austrian
town of Rechnitz. 1t was at
Rechnitz that Austrian frontier
guards shot and killed one Rus
sian soldier and captured an
other when they pursued refu-
gees onto Austrian soil.
If all refugees stayed in Aus
tria it would mean a huge in
crease in this country'S popula-
ton of less than z million.
The government announced,
however, that it had granted
special permission to American
military transport planes to land
at Vienna to fly the Hungarian
escapes to West Germany for
dispersal to Western countries.
Austria is officially neutral.
Interior Minister Oskar Hell
mer said the United States Gov
ernment had asked permission
to fly 10000 of the refugees out
in 10 days.

The Austrian cabinet was in

Workers Firm
Against kadar
BY ENDRE MARION

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
BUDAPEST. Hungary, Nov. 27
"A member of the Budapest
Workers Council said today
Premier Janos Kadar faces the
task of recognizing Hungary's
revolt-shattered economy with
the workers in open opposition
to him.
The council member made the
statement in disclosing that the
Soviet : supported Premier had
rejected all demands of the
council, the spokesman for
BudapeSt'S workers.
"Kadar now rigidly rejects
everything, using arguments he
wrote with the help of 5000
tanks" the council spokesman
said in commenting on a nego-
tiating session last night with
Kadar.
The council is equally insist
ent that its demands, including
the restoration of former Pre-
mier Imre Macy to power and
the withdrawal of Russian troops,
must form the basis of any
agreement.
Concession to Workers
The only concession the work.
erS have been able to obtain
from Kadar is the promise of
authorization to publish a news
paper.
1--WE will not yield and the
government knows it," the
spokesman said. "Imre Macy
has been and remains our first
demand and in the end we will
win anyway"
The worker representative said
it was clear from Kadar's speech
last night that U. N. observers
would not be permitted to come
to Hungary on the grounds that
the rebellion there was an lin
ternal Hungarian affair"
Labeled as AgitatOrS
Other conclusions workers
representatives said they drew
from the Premier's speech:
l. Everyone who opposes the
government and says so can
be labeled "a counter-revolu-
tionary agitator" and handled
accordingly.
2. Kadar, who a week ago
told workers bring back Macy
and I will gladly give him back
his post" now has taken the
Russian view that the Macy case
is past history.
8. The concept Of a multi
party system and coalition gov
'ernment has been definitely
dropped. Kadar's new Commu-
mist Party will be the only recog-
nized party.
Hundreds Seek Visas
The promise that "non-Com-
Imunists" might be permitted to
join the government later indi-
Gates that Kadar plans to return
to the previous practice of TAX
ing in a few loyal fellow travel
ers to represent non-Commu-
mist Hungarians in the govern

or international emergencies
said it would be unable to deter

cember /.
The national headquarters
yesterday announced that one
of the relief-giving undertakings
inside Hungary will be a mass
feeding program. Starting on
December /. the Red Cross will
feed $4,000 persons a day and it
hopes. by the end of December,
to bring the figure to 10000
a day. The meal will consist of
800 to 1000 calories per day for
each person.
The co-ordinated relief pro-
gram has taxed the ingenuity of
staff workers.
In various cities of Europe,
stockpiles of food, clothing,
medical supplies and other neces-
sites are maintained by Ameri-
can military forces, the Red
Cross and the private relief
agencies. The various groups
have drawn on these at times.
Steps then were taken immedi-
ately to replenish the supply or
reimburse the agency concerned,
At other times, the relief
groups found it necessary to buy
large quantities of needed arti-
cles at the nearest available
market in order to meet critical
emergencies.
It's one Of the biggest CO.
ordinating jobs in history.

May Earmark Donation
A council spokesman ex-
planned today that anyone max
ing a cash donation to the
agencies or the council itself,
may, if he wishes, earmark it for
a specific agency or specific
project. Also. the council has
arranged for Americans to send
clothing to incoming refugees
by mailing packages to Building
2210, Camp Kilmer. N. j. Such
clothing can be earmarked for
religious groups or any other
groups, if desired.
Undesignated contributions of
money or clothing will go into
general pools and will be all
located on a basis satisfactory to
member agencies of the council.
