1 VIENNA, Nov. 10.-Hungary's
lpro-RusSian government sought
today to WOO over rebel hoIdouts
by dangling promises to nego-
tate for Soviet troop with
drawal as soon as order returns
to the war-torn country.
The declaration, broa d cast
by the government controlled
Budapest Radio. pledged that
in bargaining with the Soviet
Union, Russian Hungarian rela-
tons would be settled ION a
basis of equality and national
independence"
4 1t promised the government
of Premier Janos Kadar would
retain the achievements
reached by the movement which
started October %" the day
Hungary's anti-Communist rev.
olution fiared.
! Uranium Mines Blasted
The concessions held out by
the government indicated Rus
sian tanks and guns had failed
to completely stamp out rebel
action.
The appeal was broadcast in
the wake of reports that rebels
had blown up the great uranium
mines near PEGS in Southern
Hungary. Hungarian refugees
told Vienna newspapers the
mines were SO thoroughly dyna-
mited that the Russians will not
be able to reopen them for a
long time.
The mines were a prime OBJ
jective when the Russians moved
in with their military might
Sunday to crush the revolt. The
rebels had demanded that Hum
gary stop handing over uranium
to the Soviet Union.
Gripped by General Strike
The Budapest broadcast also
made it apparent Hungary was
still in the grip Of a paralyzing
general strike.
The statement purportedly
sanctioned by both the govern
ment and Hungary's Communist
Party, appealed to workers to 70
back TO their jobs. 1t said if this
was not done. Hungary was
threatened by imitation and a
collapse of her economy.
! The government made an
especially urgent appeal to rail-
way employees to return to work
The population is cold and
hungry while hundreds of rail-
way cars with food and coal are
waiting at the Hungarian bor-
der" the appeal added,
The statement said the Karar
government had rejected efforts
aimed at restoring the Stain
llst regime" of Matyas Rakosi.
Hungary's longtime dictator and
former chief of her Communist
Party.
I'VE shall never return to the
days of Stalinist despotism and
lawlessness," the statement said.
The broadcast said achieve
ments" the government would
retain included abolition of in
justices under which workers
suffered, settlement of wages and
quotas, recognition of workers
councils in factories, establish
ment Of a new police force and
removal Of the Soviet star from
Hungary's state emblem.
Meanwhile. the new Hungar-
ian paper Nep Szabadsag (peo-
pies freedom reported that
Foreign Minister Imre Horvath
would head a delegation to the
new United Nations General
Assembly opening in New York
Monday.
Mr.. Horvath, so year old
career diplomat served in the
cabinets of both Andras Hege-
dus who resigned when the revo-
luton erupted and Imre Macy,
who governed briefly until the
Russians launched their coun-
ter-attack Sunday.
\ The paper declared in an edi-
torial broadcast by Radio Buda-
pest "the United Nations would
do a much greater service to
Hungary and make possible the
withdrawal Of Soviet troops, If
they contributed to the re-
establishment Of order instead
Of causing further poisoning of
the atmosphere"
