HungaryGets
NeWU.S. Plea

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Oct. "a (AP).-The United
States again urged Communist
Hungary yesterday to admit Sir
Leslie Munro, the United Ma
tons special representative on
Hungary.
In a statement on the third
anniversary of the Hungarian
revolt, United States Ambassa-
dor Henry Cabot Lodge said
U. N. Spokesman for the pres
ent regime in Budapest "have
tried their best to convince the
Hungarian people that the rest
of the world has lost interest in
them and has resigned itself tc
the extinction of their liber-
ties"
But the United States and
many other United Nations
members have not lost interest,
AS long as this injustice per-
siSts, we will continue to de-
nounce it and to pray for the
day when Hungary will be
free"
He declared one step which
Communists can take to re-
lieve tension is by admitting
Sir Leslie. The Hungarian
government has refused to lei
him enter the country on the
ground it would amount to
illegal U. N. intervention in
Hungary's domestic affairs.
Sir Leslie was named by the
general assembly as its special
representative to see why U. N
resolutions asking an end to
Communists repression have
not been carried out.
Peter Mod. Hungary's U. N
ambassador, issued a statement
in reply to Mr.. Lodge, charging
that the United States offered
$40 million to promote the
Hungarian uprising.
Mr.. Mod said Mr.. Lodge
should recall the counter
revolution in Hungary and its
defeat with a heavy heart"

Output Drops
For First Time
Since Slump
BY the Associated Press

The national output of goods
and services, hampered by the
steel strike, dropped a little
less than / per cent in the
third quarter of this year. 1t
was the first downturn since
the economy began recovering
from the recession 10 months
ago.
President Eisenhower's eco
nomic advisers estimated yes
terday that the gross national
product fell to an annual rate
Of $48l billion in the July
September period. This was SIS
billion below the second quar-
ter rate.
In another report, the Com
merce Department said ma
tional income and corporate
profits jumped to record highs
in the second quarter, but it
noted that the steel strike
halted this rise in the third
quarter.
A sharp cut in expansion of
business inventories was the
largest factor behind the drop
IN gross national product. This
reflected the end of pre-strike
buying Of steel and later Dip
ping into steel stocks to main
tain production after the walk
out began.
Part of this inventory drop
was Offset by other gains.
Spending for personal con-
sumption, Government outlays
for goods and services, and in
vestment in homes, businesses
and factories all increased.
The Commerce Department
said corporate profits rose to
an annual rate of $51 billion
in the second quarter, or SIS
billion above the preceding
three months.
National income-all the
money earned by individuals
and busineSses-exceeded a
$500 billion annual rate for
the first time.
In the April-June period the
income rate was $403 billion
compared to 1889 billion in the
preceding quarter. This was
the sharpest three-month rise
since the recession.
Third-quarter figures have
not been calculated, but the
report said corporate profits
would be down because of
lower earnings by the steel
companies. Income from other
sources remained the same or
advanced in the third quarter,
it said.
For the second quarter, af-
ter-taX profits were at a SGT
billion rate, up SO billion from
the first quarter.

New Party'
Blasts Taxes

CHICAGO, Oct. "a (AP).-
Two hundred conservatives"
who want to form a national
political party aimed at abol-
ishing the Federal income tax
scheduled a series of day and
night meetings today.
The rally is sponsored by the
Independent American, a
monthly political newspaper.
The meetings began yesterday
and were to conclude tonight
with a speech by j. Bracken
Lee, former Republican Gov
ernor of Utah.
Objective of the group -
which calls itself the New Party
Rally-is the placing of indie
pendent presidential electors
or independent candidates on
State ballots for next years
presidential election.
Kent Courtney of New Or
leans, publisher of the news
paper, said the group will not
name specific candidates, nor
will they make any effort to re-
activate on a national level the
DixiecratS or States Rights
parties.
Mr.. Courtney, States Rights
nominee for Governor of Loui-
siana, said a major plank of
the proposed party would be
adjustment of the entire in
come tax system, along with
removal of the Federal govern
ment from competition with
private enterprise.
Mr.. Courtney said independ-
ents mentioned most often by
the group as presidential nomi-
nees are Mr.. Lee, who is now
running for mayor of Salt Lake
City as an independent, and j.
Edgar Hoover, FBI chief.

West resolution contain APP
proval of Premier Khrushchev's
plan for total disarmament. He
expressed confidence that an
agreement would be reached.
United States Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge. who has
been carrying on the negotia-
tions with Mr.. Kuznetsov, said
the Russians latest counter
proposal was under close study
He made plan. however. that
the United States will not in
dorse any particular plan but
wants to send all proposals on
to the East-West Disarmament
Committee which opens talks
in Geneva next February.
U. S. Spokesman Optimistic
A United States spokesman
said the negotiations are going
well and predicted chances
were good for agreement on a
resolution that would win
wholesale approval.
The aim Of the negotiations
is to get both the United State
and Russia to sponsor a COM
mon proposal and, with the
blessings of all U. N. members,
start the Geneva talks of on
a harmonious note.
Instead Of indorsing the
Khrushchev plan specifically,
the United States has proposed
that the resolution follow the
language of the Camp David
communique that summed up
the talks between Mr.. Khrush-
chev and President Eisenhower
The communiQue said both
sides agreed that disarmament
was the key question facing
the world today. 1t pledged
efforts of both governments to
reach a constructive solution.
Disarmament Debate Slow
Diplomats specialized, how
ever, that if a common reSolu-
ton is agreed on, it will prob
ably contain reference to the
Khrushchev plan, but in such
a way that the West will not
interpret it as Endorsement.
With the slow pace of the
disarmament debate, indica-
tons were that the Political
Committee would be dealing
with it well into November.
Italy declared yesterday
elimination of the big power
veto must accompany accept
ance Of Mr.. Khrushchev's total
disarmament plan.

Again in "a
Plane Attack
By the Associated Press

The United States says II
can prove-anytime-that Rus
sian fighter planes violated
japanese air space five years
ago to shoot down an Ameri-
can bomber.
The State Department yes
terday again blamed Russia for
the incident. The statement
was in comment on the Soviet
governments refusal to let the
International Court at The
Hague adjudicate the issue.
The court dropped the Amer
lean suit against Russia o.
tober 10. 1t had to because
the Russians insisted the court
had no business looking into
such a matter. Agreement by
both parties is necessary for
court consideration of an issue
The American bomber was
shot down over Hokkaido Is
land November Z, 1854. 1t fell
in flames as the crew bailed
out. One American airman was
killed.
The State Department has
repeatedly sought damages of
$756,604 from Russia. The
SovietS have stuck to their
story that the B-29 violated
Russian air space and fired
first.
The State Department said
"the United States B-29 never
shot at the Soviet plane. 1t
did not cross the Soviet border
but was shot down over Jap
anese territory by Soviet planes
which intruded into japanese
airspace to do this. ,
"The United States Govern
