Cuba Accuses Soviet Russia Os Mass Murder Urges UN Assembly Call For Stoppage Os Deportation Act UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UP)— Cuba today accused Russia of murdering more than 75,000 free Hungarians and urged the United Nations General Assembly to call for an immediate end to the deportation of Hungary’s youth to _ Soviet territory. "Hungary has become one big cemetery,” Cuban Ambassador Emilio Nunez-Portuondo told the assembly. "The acts perpetrated by the army of the Soviet Union beggar description because they have no precedent in history." Imre Horvath, foreign minister of the Hungarian puppet regime, sought to block debate of the issue by declaring that authorities in the country were seeking “to render harmless only a number of thieves, bandits and other common criminals.” He denied that any person arrested had been deported from Hungarian territory. Accuses Russia of Genocide Despite -Horvath’s protests—before and after the Cuban spoke— Nunez-Portuondo accused Russia of genocide — mass murder for *. racial, religious or political reasons. Genocide, a new word for an old crime, was coined by Prof. Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-exile professor who wrote a treaty outlawing it. personally nurtured it through passage by the General Assembly in 1949, and lobbied until 54 governments—including Russia and Hungary but not the •United States—ratified it. "A terror regime exists in Hungary,” Nunez-Portuondo said. “No one can freely express his thoughts.' Ho m e s are being invaded by Soviet troops. Women, men and children are being led forcibly out of Hungary. Executions are in the hundreds every day... ' * “Wecannot agree that any state, however powerful, should violate our charter and the convention for the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide. We cannot tolerate, countenance or admit that in the U.N. there should be two classes of states—those which comply with U.N. resolutions and those which do not.” Demands a Halt The Cuban resolution, called on Russia to comply promptly with two previous assembly measures calling for prompt withdrawal of its forces from Hungary. It urged Hungary to admit observers to report on conditions within the country. Finally it urged “the Soviet Union to cease deporting Hungarian citizens and to return those already deported, : Moderate Weather Forecast In State Rain Is Predicted Tuesday, Wednesday By UNITED PRESS Moderate temperatures and rain were on the weather menu for Indiana for the next two days.

Clare Luce Resigns As Envoy To Italy Eisenhower Praises Ambassador's Work WASHINGTON (UP)-Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce resigned today as United States ambassador to Italy. She asked President Eisenhower to accept the resignation “at the earliest convenient moment.” Mr. Eisenhower accepted the resignation but did not set a date for it to take' effect. The blond, chic envoy told the President that a recent illness made it necessary for her to have "several months of real rest” before she could work again at full efficiency. She said her duties as ambassador would not permit this rest and therefore she asked to be relieved. Asked to describe the nature of her illness, she would say merely, "It is a thing of the past:” Mrs. Luce was recurrently ill during her tenure as ambassador and her husband’s magazine, Time, reported last summer that her trouble was traced to arsenic poison from paint flaking off her bedroom ceiling. Mr. Eisenhower accepted the resignation with “very great personal regret" and high praise for “a job superbly done” through “constant personal sacrifice and even to the detriment of your health." Before announcement of her resignation, Mrs. Luce spent an hour with the chief executive talking over the Middle East crisis as it applies to Italy, particularly “the serious repercussions the closing of the Suez Canal may have on the Italian economy.” “As of the moment," Mrs. Luce said, “the Italians have sufficient oil and fuel to get along for some time, but they must begin to plan for their future wants if the canal is to be closed for any length of time." Mrs. Luce was asked about reports that she might take another diplomatic post after a rest. She said she had no plans at the moment and declined to discuss her future. She said a report that she might become ambassador to India was not mentioned in her conference with the President. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said Mr. Eisenhower was not yet ready to announce his choice of a successor in Rome. Urges Revision In Determining Parity Government Change Is Urged By Grange ROCHESTER, N.Y. (UP)— The master of the National Grange today urged the government to revise its method of determining "parity" of farm income with nonfarm income as a major step in reversing the “nation’s agricultural decline.” Herschel D. Newsom said the present system can scarcely be called "an accurate, modern method” because “it tends to indicate that farmers should be frozen in whatever degree of inequity that may have existed in the so-called base period of 1910-14, or some other past period.” Newsom told the annual meeting of the National Grange that "little logical defense” can be made for the method. He emphasized the importance for actions to boost farm income and to gain a better balance with non-farm income. * Seventy -two official delegates and representatives from 37 states were in attendance at the convention which runs through Thursday. The Grange leader assailed the present pricing system for its failure “to take account of substantial and important changes that have taken place in our total economic structure—as well as in our productive effort to determine where real parity of income might lie.” Surgery Performed On Chalmer Denny Chalmer Denny, of Kokomo, son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Tyndall of this city, underwent surgery in St. Joseph’s memorial hospital in Kokomo Saturday. Denny suffered a severe fracture of his fight thigh in an auto accident last week near Mt. Carmel, 111. His condition is reported satisfactory.

Becher, who died Suddenly Saturday morning, will be held at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Zion Lutheran church at Chattanooga, 0., the Rev. Waldo E. Byers officiating. Burial will be in the MRE cemetery at Berne. Friends may call at the Zwick funeral home until noon Tuesday, when the body will be taken to the church to lie in state until time of the services.

Russia Pours More Troops Info Hungary Striking Hungarian Workers Yield Today To Famine, Theats BUDAPEST (UP) — Striking Hungarian workers yielded today to famine, Soviet deportation threats and the influx of 200,000 Soviet infantrymen and began a slow drift back to their jobs. A spot check of major factories showed at least 50 per cent of workers still were absent despite the overwhelming odds against the workers who have paralyzed the country for weeks. But this appeared partly due to lack of electric power, raw material and transportation to bring commuting workers into the industrial areas from the suburbs. The solid strike front cracked while Russia was pouring 20 new divisions into the country to consolidate its conquert by Soviet tanks. Soviet armored forces Already in Hungary total some 200,000 troops and 4,500 tanks. Cold and Hunger Win Spokesmen for workers frankly admitted they had capitulated to hunger, cold and lack of money rather than the promises of concessions by the Soviet-sponsored Janos Kadar regime. “Kadar didn’t convince us,” one said, “but winter is here and misery comes.” The workers said they have not given up their demands for the end of mass deportations, withdrawal of Soviet troops and ouster of the Kadar government. “But the whole country can’t live on relief,” one spokesman commented bitterly. “The workers were so much united by last week’s events they will never fall apart again. The government must realize by now that the use of force is pointless.” Reports reaching Vienna said that bands of freedom fighters are still resisting. A refugee Hungarian army officer said partisans battled Soviet troops in the hills northeast of Budapest and in the Bakony forests to the southwest of the Hungarian capital. He said snipers were active in Budapest itself. Moscow Radio also admitted armed resistance continued Sunday. Tell of Soviet Buildup The vast buildup of Soviet armed forces in Hungary was disclosed by sources close to the Kadar regime. The government sources quoted Maj. Gen. K. Grebennyik, Soviet commander in Budapest, as saying 20 Soviet infantry divisions—an estimated 200,000 men — are on the way. They said Soviet troop trains are crossing the border at • tconttnuMi ot> nv«) $16,000 Cache Found By Three Children Find Is Mistaken For Play Money MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UP) —Police tried to learn the story today behind a $16,000 cache of bills and payroll checks found by three children in an abandoned truck and mistaken for play money. The children found more than $2,000 when they rummaged through- an • old truck parked in their grandfather’s back yard, but they tore up much of the money believing it not real and scattered the pieces in the wind. The mother of the children, Mrs. Raymond Fletcher of Aubrey, Ark., discovered the money was real and called police. They found another $14,000 in bills and payroll checks in the truck. Officers were not immediately able to determine who owned the money, why it was in the rusting truck or where it came from. The Shelby County sheriff’s office reported that the owner of the truck, W.C. Dunaway, tried to claim the money. He later refused to confirm or deny that the money was his. Dunaway, who worked at Memphis Stone and Gravel Co. three years ago, said only that “We’ll have to see what we can find out.” Dunaway’s attorney, W.C, Rodgers, said his client would claim the money. “It belongs to him, why not?” asked Rodgers. Mrs. Fletcher said she first discovered the money whfen her oldest daughter brought a billfold to show her the “play money” they had found. She rushed to the truck to find her other children, Cathryn, 9, and Minnie Lou, 7, tossing scraps of money to the wind. “I was so nervous I was Shaking," Mrs. Fletcher said. “Imagine those children tossing all that money in the air like it was paper."

Russian Party Boss Assails West Envoys Western Diplomats Walk Out On Party As Khrushchev Talks MOSCOW (UP)— Western envoys walked out on Party Leader Nikita S. Khrushchev Sunday night for the second time in two days when he gave them another tongue lashing and said God would be on the Communist side if he believed in God. “We will bury you,” Khrushchev told the Western diplomats at a reception at the Polish Embassy to mark the signing of a SovietPolish agreement giving the right to pursue an independent course of Communism. “If you do not like us,” the vod-ka-drinking Khrushchev told the American, British and other envoys, “do not accept our invitations, and do not invite us to you.” He also blasted Yugoslavia’s Marshal Tito although he did not mention him by name. Encouraged By Leaders “Those Socialist countries who boast of their experience and at tempt to extol their forms and methods have a mistaken attitude that does not agree with the principles of Marxism-Leninism,” he said. The Red-faced Khrushchev, apparently encouraged by the many top-level Soviet leaders gathered around him, delivered his bitter anti-Western tirade atj a reception given for Polish Communist Leader Wladyslaw Gomulka. He ran the gamut of internal affairs and the course of Communist theory and relations behind the Iron Curtain. He brought God into it when he said: “Things are going very wel with us. If we beieved in the existence of God we would thank Him for it.” Frequently Interrupted Khrushchev was frequently interrupted by Soviet leaders standing around him, but there was no indication anyone was trying to shut him up. They applauded, laughed and encouraged him as he rambled on about Hungary, Egpt and the United States. - ■ Each time Soviet leaders tried to correct or tone down his remarks, Khrushchev brushed them off. Once Soviet President Kliment Voroshilov took exception to Khrushchev’s remark that Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser put Communists in jail. “He had to,” said Voroshilov. "Don’t try to help me,” Khrushchev answered brusquely. Mrs. Frank Garard Dies Al Fort Wayne Native Os County Is Taken By Death Mrs. Clarice A. Garard, 63, of 312 McKinnie avenue.

Renew Efforts To End Pori Walkout All Atlantic And Gulf Ports Idled NEW YORK (UP) —Representatives of the International Longshoremen’s Association and the New York Shipping Association renew attempts today to end a three-day old strike of all Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports. West Coast longshoremen stage ■ a 24-hour walkout at 11 a.m. EST •.fa support of the strike by 60,000 • ILA members who have tied up 1 some 200 ships in ports from ■ Maine to Texas. 1 The ship owners considered ask- ’ ing the National Labor Relations Board to rule on an unfair labor practices charge filed against the independent ILA Oct. 23. The charge alleged that the union had refused to discuss any disputed is- ■ sues before the question of a national contract was settled. Alexander P. Chopin, chairman of the shipping association, Sunday charged the ILA with using the strike to “coerce” the nation’s ' shippers into accepting a nationwide" contract. He said he hoped to ' press the unfair labor practices charge to force the union to drop its demand for nationwide bargaining. ’ The shippers maintain they can [ negotiate contracts only on a port1 by-port basis. X - Louis Waldman, attorney for the ’ ILA. said the blanket contract was 5 merely one of the union’s demands along with wages, holiday and ’ other items and denied it was bel ing used to put pressure on the ’ ship owners i 11 Dead In Traffic ; On State Highways Five Persons Dead In Two-Car Crash By UNITED PRESS' At least 11 persons were killed in Indiana traffic accidents during the weekend, including five persons in one smashup.

Dulles Assails Stand Taken By Soviet Russia Lack Os Cooperation In Middle East Is Scored By Dulles WASHINGTON (UP)- Secretary of State John Foster Dulles accused the Russians Sunday of trying “to substitute themselves for the United Nations’ instead of cooperating to settle the Middle East problem. He also charged that they have, "in defiance of United Nations resolutions. . .engaged in war against Hungary with promiscuous slaughter.” "The free nations cannot relax their vigilance in the face of such arrogance and such violations of human principle,” Dulles said. The secretary’s warning was contained in a statement issued when he left Walter Reed Army Medical Center where he underwent an intestinal operation recently. He flew to Key West, Fla., to recuperate. He said he expects to be back at work in a couple of weeks. Disarmament Not Discussed Dulles’ statement was his first on the Middle Eart and Hungarian probleths Since he entered the hospital Nov. 3. The statement did not touch on Russia’s new disarmament proposals, which were made Saturday. President Eisenhower conferred with Dulles on these proposals at the Army hospital Saturday afternoon and U.S. disarmament experts scrutinized them over the weekend. Russia called for a new summit conference of the Big Four powers, plus India, to discuss global disarmament. The Soviets again came up with their old proposals to ban nuclear weapons tests, to destroy existing H-bomb and A-bomb stockpiles and to limit military manpower. But they also put forth a new suggestion —a limited test of Mr. Eisenhower’s “open skies” aerial inspection. They suggested that the tests be carried out in all North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Warsaw Pact countries. On Right Track Dulles, reading his statement Sunday in a firm voice from the hospital steps, said he thinks "we are. . .on the right track” fa the Middle East. But he said it would be a “great mistake” to believe peace could be established permanently in the area “merely by emergency measures to stop the fighting.” Dulles did not specify what might be done toward a permanent settlement. President Eisenhower has said, however, that the United States would guarantee Israel and Arab borders if the fighting is halted, would try to improve economic conditions in the area and would try to solve the problem of Arab refugees. Checks Mailed For Christmas Savings Over $161,000 In Checks Here Christmas Savings checks totaling $161,368.75 were mailed Saturday to 2,016 Christmas club customers of the First State Bank for 1956. This represents an increase of $7,000 over last year. According to an announcement by bank officials, the new Christmas savings clubs open today for 1957. The plans offered range from 25 cents to $lO per week. As in past years, the most popular plans were the $1 and $2 plans. The increase at the First State Bank is comparable to that of the nation since most banks reported increases in the amounts saved in Christmas Club plans. Studies show that the largest percentage of the amount saved will be used for year-end bills and Christmas shopping, or turned back into permanent savings.

Nehru Appeals For Troop Withdrawals Urges Withdrawal In Egypt Hungary NEW DELHI, India (UP) — Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India appealed to "foreign troops” to withdraw from both Egypt and Hungary today. He suggested United Nations observers be sent to both countries "to report things impartially.” In a major parliamentary speech on foreign affairs Nehru said that the dispatch of U.N. observers to both countries would “give a correct lead to the world.” “Hungary presents a grave situation," Nehru said. "Foreign forces should withdraw and then people be given a right to express a free opinion. It's a national rising.” It w&s Nehru’s first major pronouncement on Hungary, and followed a mounting tide of criticism within India that he had let his attention be distracted by the Anglo-French intervention in Egypt to the exclusion of events in Hungary. Nehru said Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin’s letter to him on the subject of a Big Five conference on world disarmament—including Britain, France, the Soviet Union, the United States and India—was “of vital importance.”, “But this matter has to be de- ‘ cided by the three or four big ■ powers who really count,” he Said. • Ask Government To ‘ Find Health Head ; New Indiana Mental r Health Head Sought INDIANAPOLIS (UP) —lndiana , will ask the federal government r to help find a new state mental , health commissioner. J Dean John Van Nuys of the Indiana University Medical School ’ said he plans to ask U.S. Surgeon Gen. Leroy E. Burney to help i locate a career administrator. - Burney is a former Indiana health i commissioner. Van Nuys said Gov.-elect Harold Handley asked him to help fill the post which Dr. Margaret Morgan will vacate in January. Van Nuys said he will contact Burney when he makes a business trip to Washington Nov. 26. He also will go to New York to seek the advice of two prominent psychiatrists there on possible candidates, he said. Handley suggested "borrowing” an experienced mental health director, possibly from the U.S. Pubic Health Service, VanNuys said. He said Handley specified that the candidate for the post should not be identified with either political party. VanNuys said he did not consider Dr. W.R .Van Den Boseh qualified to be state mental health commissioner. Van Den Bosch last month resigned as superintendent of Beatty State Hospital at Westville after a controversy with Dr. Morgan and Governor Craig about the institution’s maximum security section. Indiana Sheriffs Hold Convention INDIANAPOLIS «W) — Highway crashes and hoodlumism are principal topics of discussion at the, Indiana Sheriffs Association annual convention here today and Tuesday. ~ -- -- .

Egypt Likely To Renew Plea For Volunteers Middle East Tense As Egypt Demands Troop Withdrawal LCJNDON IW — Egypt warned the world today of a “great catastrophe" unless Anglo - French forces withdraw at once from the Suez Canal Zone where they landed two weeks ago. It was indicated Egypt would renew its request for volunteers to fight Britain, France and Israel. The Mideast remained tense. There were reports of Egyptian firing on British and French forces in their frontline positions south of Port Said and from Moscow came a new Hast at Western Colonialism" by Soviet Communist Party boss Nikita Khrushchev. United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold returned to New York from a series of con- ' ferences in -Egypt, where he worked out details for operation of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) set up to supervise the cease lire. Refuses Comment on Mission Hammarskjold told newsmen at New York’s Idlewild Airport that he had ‘no comment” on his mission. He returned immediately t« U.N. headquarters and went into session with Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, commander of UNEF. There were no plans at present for him to report to the U.N. General Assembly. In a statement broadcast over Cairo Radio, Wing Commander Ali Sabry said Egypt expects British and French troops to withdraw from the Suez Canal Zone immediately—this week, if possible. Anything else, he said, would be a violation of, the U. N. cease fire resolutions. “If Britain and France do not withdraw the world will face a major catastrophe," he said. “No one can predict the consequences.” Renew Hints of “Volunteers" But one of those consequences, he indicated would be the arrival in Egypt of “volunteers” to helfr it in its fight against Britain, France and Israel. Such “volunteers” already have been offered by the Soviet Union and Communist China. Khrushchev followed up his insults to the West Saturday night with another outburst at a Moscow reception Sunday night, indicating the Kremlin was ready to go through with its offer of “volunteers” if necessary. The Anglo-French command in Port Said, meanwhile, charged that Egyptian troops opened fire twice in 12 hours on British and French forces in frontline positions near El Cap In the Suez Canal Zone. In neither case, the French and British said, did their troops fire back. But U. N. observers were asked formally to investigate the Incidents. The United Nations secretary general spent two days in Cairo conferring with President Gamdl Abdel Nasser and Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi on the critical Mideast situation. He will report directly to the U. N. General Assembly. Hammarskjold said Egypt had accepted U.N. help in clearing the Suez Canal of the 49 sunken ships blocking the waterway, but he had little else to say about his delicate mission which may determine the immediate future of events in the explosive Mideast. Warns of Catastrophe The warning of a “great catastrophe" came from Wing Cmdr. Ali Sabry, Nasser’s political adviser, who said any Anglo-French attempt to remain in the Canal Zone would be "considered a violation of the U.N. cease-fire resolution.” In such case, he said, Egypt would renew its appeal for “volunteers.'’ ' Sabry’s statement was broadcast by Cairo radio after Hammarskjold had left by plane for Rome with Fawzi. Fawzi, also en route to the General Assembly, (Oontinued On P*ae Five)
