VIENNA, R-Hungary's Red government virtually conceded complete victory to the revolu~ tionary forces yesterday and called on the nation to prepare for free elections. Premier Imre Nagy announced the one-party Communist system has been abol- ished.
 The Communist Premier told the nation he has called on the Soviet army command to begin immediate withdrawal of Soviet troops from revolt-torn Budapest.
 Two hours after Nagy went on the air, radio Budapest broadcast an announcement that Soviet troops had started leaving Buda- pest. There was no indication yet they were quitting Hungary
 There had been ominous reports in Vienna that the Russians were moving endorsements to the cap ital. One report was that tank endorsements were elanking from Russia thru northeast Hun gary; another that seven tank columns were closing on Buda- pest from the southwest.
 Fighting slacked off at the Ma ria Terezia Barracks, rebel strong-point in the week of civil war. Insurgents who had held out against Soviet tank fire marched out defiantly yesterday morning and announced they would not put down their arms until the Russians had left Budapest.

Dead X-2 Pilot Got Buffeting Before Crash

EDWARDS, calif., B-A cam era mounted in the cockpit of the Bell X-2 rocket plane shows that Capt. Milburn G. Apt received a violent buffeting before he was killed in the crash of the expert mental plane.
 Photographs of the last mo ments of flight of the needle nosed craft that holds the worlds speed and altitude records were described yesterday by the Air Force. They were not released, however. on the grounds they are classified.
 They show that Apt, who was making his first flight in the plane, was thrown about the cock pit when he went into a turn after pushing the X-2 to a record speed of 2,2O0 miles an hour.
 The film shows Apt reaching for the handle to detach the cock pit capsule from the rest of the plane. He was unable to eject himself, however, and it smashed to earth with him inside.

Israel and Egypt Forces Clash; Britain, France Send Troops
Both Sides Claim Gains in Middle East
By EDWIN sHANKE

CAIRO, R-Britain warned Egyptians to clear out from all Egyptian airfields today-appar- ently as prelude to the expected landing of French-British expe- ditionary airborne force to seize control of the Suez Canal.
 Egypt announced it had put Russian Migs into operation against Israeli forces on the Sinai Peninsula. Israel claimed the cap ture of an Egyptian ship in Haifa Harbor. f..
 The Voice of Israel, a Jerusa- lem radio station, warned the ref ugee-packed Gaza strip that it soon would be cut off from Egypt It asserted Israeli military opera tions in the Sinai Peninsula soon would be concluded with the de feat of Egyptian forces.
 The Israelis claimed to have de stroyed scores of Egyptian vehi- cles in air attacks on conveys east of Ismailia, and claimed their forces had reached within 10 miles of the Suez Canal, the "ulti- matum' line set by Britain and France.
 Egyptian military headquarters announced it had sent it's Soviet built Migs into battle today and that they had knocked down 10 Israeli planes. The Egyptians ad- mitted the loss of two of their own planes.
 The Egyptians said bombers also had gone into action over Israels territory and had de stroyed and damaged Israeli air fields.
 The Egyptian high command said the Egyptian air force was busy all day today pounding Is raeli troop concentrations and conveys along the Egyptian iron tier and hit 21 trucks full of sol diers. destroying seven of them

US. Stands By Pledge To Aid Any Victim of Middle East Aggression

WASHINGTON, 6-PreSldenl Eisenhower will go on nationwide television and radio tonight to discuss the Middle East crisis.
 This was announced shortly be- fore noon today by the White House, which also repeated that the United States is still standing by it's pledge to assist any victim of aggression in the Middle East.
 Britain is reported to have in formed the US. government that it considers the pledge defunct. The pledge bound the United States, Britain and France to work together in the Middle East to preserve peace.
 Saying the Presidents l5-min- ute talk would be "a non-political report" White House Press Sec retary Hagerty said that the President would speak from his White House office and discuss "the developing situation in the Middle East"
 Hagerty said further Eisenhow- CT will outline the American po- sition" regarding the tense situa- ton resulting from the Israeli thrust into Egypt on Monday
 Since that time, Britain and France have announced plans to place troops in Egypt, and the two governments joined yesterday in vetoing a US. resolution in the United Nations Security Council.
 The US. resolution called for a cease-fire in Egypt, and for other JUN. member nations to refrain from any use of force in that area.
 Hagerty said Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Anthony Eden have exchanged additional personal messages regarding the Middle East situation. The White House announced dispatch of one Eisenhower message to Eden yes terday.. In that one, also addressed to French Premier Guy Mollet, Eisenhower urged both the Brit ish and the French to refrain from use of force in the Middle East
 Hagerty was asked whether Is rael's Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion, had replied to two mes sages Eisenhower sent to him list weekend. In those, the President expressed grave concern over Is- rael's mobilization and appealed to Ben-Gurion to do nothing (which would endanger the peace"
 Hagerty said he did not know whether Ben-Gurion had replied that he would have to check.
 There were reports from sourc- es outside the White House that the United States was ready to cut off all economic aid to Israel | in a move to force Israeli troops to withdraw from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
 The United States has allocated $256, 6,979,214 in foreign aid to the Israeli government during the past eight years. All but $13,230,- SIT of this had been spent by Sept. 1 of this year.

Britain and France Will Move Into SueZ Despite US. Pleas

LONDON, R-PriIne Minister Eden said today that Britain and France will move into the Suez Canal Zone-with or without the approval of the United States.
 eve stand by what we said and we shall carry it out" he told the House of Commons.
 Eden refused to say whether British and French forces have landed on Egyptian soil. There were unconfirmed reports from the Middle East all day that the landings had started. The latest, from Israel radio, said British troops went ashore in the Suez area. There was no confirmation from Cairo.
 "We cannot accept that we have to obtain the agreement of the United States before acting in our own vital interests" Eden de- clared.
 Eden declined to give the House of Commons any details on action to be taken by British and French forces.
 In an angry exchange, Labor leaders Hugh Gaitskell shouted:
 "This is really a fantastic situa- ton. It is the whole House and the whole country which is wait ing for an answer to this ques- tion."
 In what amounted to an appeal for American understanding, the Prime Minister said:
 "It is sometimes governments duty to make decisions for it's own country"
 His face flushed, Gaitskell asked Eden whether a decision has been finally taken that British and French forces shall invade the canal zone of Egypt"
 Eden replied: q am not going to give the House any kind of ac- count of that action or what those plans with our allies may be. We stand by what we said and we shall carry it out" Labor members were in an op- roar. There were angry shouts de- manding the Prime Minister re- sign.
 < Eden~appeared' to be addressing his remarks as much. to the world at large as to: the House.
 He said free movement of ship ping thru the Suez Canal is ot concern to the Americans, ''but it is not for them matter ot survival as it is for us and all Europe"
 Eden's government had warned Egyptian civilians to stay away from all Egyptian airfields. The British warning came as massive British and French naval and military formations deployeo themselves for a possible swooT on the Suez Canal.
 The warning appeared to be prelude to landings of planes ol dropping of parachute troops into l the canal area.

States Plan
Protection
For Buyers
BY ELMER ROESSNER

The relentless rise of con-
sumner credit reached a new
high of $40.740, 100000 on Sep
TENDER 80 and has surely passed
SAL billion by now-is causing
lawmakers to consider better
safeguards for those who sign
on dotted lines of inStallment
contracts.
There's a lot to protect. If
consumers are paying no more
than per cent a month on un-
paid balances, their credit is
costing them SAL million a
month, or almost half a billion
dollars a year.
1t is probable that carrying
costs are much higher. Take a
typical auto installment contract
calling for 7 per cent on the ur-
paid balance, which is to be paid
off in II monthly payments.
Because the average balance is
just half of the original balance
the time buyer is paying IA per
cent. Penalty charges for late
payments can skyrocket the
rate. The rates of a well-known
small-loan company comes to "a
per cent per year.
The rise in the marriage rate
and the decrease in the average
age of new couples-all in fran
tic need of autos, appliances.
furniture and other lares and
penates-has multiplied demand
for installment credit. Our
schools teach Elizabethan liter
ture and cake making, but few
teach the possibly more impor-
tant subject of buying on time.
Consequently. many truly ig-
norant couples have entered the
installment market. This has
attracted rapacious lenders into
the credit field. In some cases
young couples are paying more
for credit than for the goods
they buy with it.
This is causing many States
to re-examine their laws to
determine what protection credit
buyers have. Most have dis
covered that while usury laws
prohibit excessive interest on
loans, they do not prohibit ex-
eesslve rates on indirect financ-
ing. In most States the guilt
bility of the buyer is the only
limit.
