The Crucible,” stepped on the toes of “20th Century witch-hunters.” “The present day American witchhunters, the McCarthys and the Eastlands (Sens. Joseph R.

Thrill Os Escape Over For Refugees Report Trouble By Hungarian Refugees LONDON (W — Eighty -two Hungarian refugees living in a hostej in Newcastle, England, rioted and went on a hunger strike. Five Hungarian refugees staged a sitdown strike at Pershore demanding $33 a week instead of s2l as laborers. Refugees in a Swiss camp are demanding television sets, radios and cars “because this is in accordance with your high living standards.” Three hundred refugees their camp in France and trudged 30 miles along snowbound Alpine roads to Switzerland. They were turned back. Two refugees walked out of a camp in Scotland and made their way to London. They begged the Lt S. embassy to send them to America. « Thirteen Hungarian refugees ran away from a government mining school near Johannesburg, South Africa, fearing they were headed for "slave-labor” in So-viet-style uranium mines. They were victims of a cruel joke. The electric thrill of the escape of 170,000 refugees from Hungary is over. With the flush of escape at risk of death behind them, the tumultuous welcomes and the big handouts of food and clothing gone, the majority of rufugees in Europe are dispirited, disappointed and disgruntled, a United Press survey shows. , George Free—that is not his real name—a refugee Hungarian journalist now in Britain says “there is ever-growing unrest and a feeling of discontent among Hungarians Jiving in the camps. “This feeling comes from their own conviction that their fight against communism mea ,t a moral victory for the whole free world. The fair-mindt'd Hungarians and the majority are of this type, are not demanding superrights. But they expect a welldeserved human life in a free society.” Thousands of' Hungarian refugees in Europe want to push onward to the promised lands, the United States and Canada. Doubt Prosecution Os Three Newsmen In Policy Defiance WASHINGTON (UP)— The administration appears to be dropping any thought of trying to prosecute the three American rfehvsmen who visited Red China in defiance of State Department policy. One authority put it this way: "We don’t want to see anyone boiled in oil.” The three who went to Red China are William Worthy of the Baltimore Afro-American and Edward Stevens and Phillip Harrington of Look Magazine. Worthy and Harrington are back in the United States now, and Stevens is at his regular post in Moscow for Look. At one time, the State Department indicated that any reporter who went to the Chinese mainland would risk punishment for violating passport regulations or provisions of the “Trading with the Enemy Act” or the Logan Act, which bars U.S. citizens from corresponding with foreign governments in an attempt to interfere with U.S. foreign policy. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles declined Tuesday to tell his news conference what might happen to one of the three newsmen who went to Red China any way. Asked if he could say what, if any, action would be taken against Worthy. Dulles replied simply, “No, I am sorry I haven’t the answer yet.” But other officials indicated the administration is ready to forget the matter Trade in a good town —-Decatur ■SSSSSSSSSBSiSaSft Tonight & Thursday H OUR BkFdAYS!

Volcano Is Erupting Near Guatemala City Villagers Preparing Possible Evacuation GUATEMALA CITY (UP)—The “Volcano of Fire” 30 miles west of this capital city belched forth flames and smoke today and nearby villagers prepared for possible evacuation.

The volcano erupted spectacularly Tdewhtf night and the lava began ratjß* slowly. A column of smoke hundreds of feet high could be seen from the heart of Guatemala City. Rumblings that accompanied the eruption were stronger than any in the past year although the volcano frequently shows signs of activity. No earthquakes accompanied the beginning of the eruption, but residents of Antigua and Guatemala City as well as the village of Escuintla which is near the slopes of the volcano made preparations to flee if the lava overflows the rim or ground tremors hit. Reports from other villages near the volcano said there was similar alarm but noipanic as yet. Residents of this Central American country have witnessed the destructive powers of earthquakes and volcanos in the past. Antigua was the capital of Guatemala until it was wiped out by an earthquake in 1773. Guatemala City was established as the capital in 1776 but was destroyed by earthquakes in 1917-18.
