BERN, Switzerland, Dec. IL
R.-The Swiss government to.
day announced the breakup OF
network of military, political
and economic espionage organ
lied by Mate Vegh, former Sec
ond secretary Of the Hungarian
Legation in Bern.
Vegh, who left Switzerland in
September, returned yesterday
and was Immediately expelled.

Matchmaking them with threats
against their families in Hun
The government said Vegh
could not be brought to trial be-
cause the espionage ring op-
Grated at a time when he had

other European countries.
Many Hungarian refugees are
convinced they would lose all
chance of emigrating to the
United States if they first ac-
cepted temporary asylum in a
European country other than
Austria. Mr.. Lindt said.
He said he would consult with
the Austrian government on how
to deal with the 10000 recent
Hungarian refugees still in Aus
tria. as well as with 1875, 900
refugees who were already there
when the uprising began.
Il do not need to emphasize
that we are faced with a hui
manitarian problem of the
greatest magnitude" he said.
The most effective solution to
this problem is emigration, and
we have used-and are still
using-every endeavor to per-
suade governments to open their
doors wide to the refugees and
thus relieve the enormous
burden placed on the Austrian
government and people,"
About $1,000 of the new Hun
garian refugees have already
found asylum outside Austria,
Mr.. Lindt said. but the influx
from Hungary is continuing.

said. The other woman, though
IHungarian-born, acquired Swiss
nationality by marriage and is
to face trial before a federal
court.
The communique said Vegh's
ring operated with very cum
ming methods" and long investi-
cation by the Swiss counter
espionage service was necessary
before it could be broken UP.
Nevertheless, it said, no damage
was done to Switzerland's ma
Itional security.
Minister Has Left
Officials at the Hungarian Le-
cation refused all comment. The
legation has five officials of the
status of diplomat, headed by
Hungarian Minister Bella Ne

of the matter.
According to board spokesman,

notice came about over a differ
ence of philosophy" of teaching
with Mr.. Dickerson.
Mr.. Colder stated that he felt
during the balance of the time that
DIR. Malie would be connected with

trying to belittle the board AMI the

He referred to statements adj
rnittedly given by DIR. Malie to a

he did not think the non-renewal
contract notice had been on time,
and that he disagreed with Mr.
Dickerson's philosophy on school
matters.

friendly discussion without strained
relation.

Of mass exodus of teachers from

And this, he said, is only a normal
change-over at the end of school

Willard w. Hickman, principal
of the high school, said he had con-
versed with the majority members

school faculty, he had found the
members extremely interested in
the welfare of boys and girls in
the school and ali we're anxious to
do a conscientious job of teaching.

there is no dire need to fill vacan-
