DSoviei Forces Crush Freedom In Hungary
VIENNA (AP) - Soviet might battered Hungary Sunday in light- ning thrusts .slmed to extinguish once and for all the freedom flames born of an anti-Communist revolt.
Russian tanks. planes and in- fantrymen bammc ed Budapest anti closed on a dozen provincial salient: from the Carpathian foot- hills to the Austrian border in a suipi-tse renewal of the war they aim tiieir Red Hungarian allies lust last week.
lly noon it appeared they. were back in control.
But Nationalist fighters begged for Western help and vowed:
"we will hold out to our last drop of blood."
Sweeping aside the plea of Pre- inier lmrs Nagy for friendly, neighborly relations on a basis of equality, the Russians struck be- fore dawn. Armored units ciankcd tllruuizll Budapest streets to seize the government seat in the Parlia-
ment building. l Phosphorus shells lighted the paths of attack.
Patriot H u n g a ri a is fighters srmt-d themselves with pistols. tommy guns and gasoline bombs and went out again to battle along- side Hungary's army.
”We will continue tonfight for our freedom." Hungarian broad- castersald. "We ask the United Nations to send immediate help to Hungary We ask for parachute troops to be dropped over the Dunantul (the Danube valley) . . . Help! Help!
At United Nations headquarters in New York. the UN General As- sembly was summoned into ses- sion to consider a resolution de- manding wcthdrawai of the Soviet forces from 1-1ungsry.The Soviet Union vetoed that resolution on its pmsentatlon to the Security Coun- ell of the United States early Sun- day. The big power veto does not apply in the General Assembly.
The " ' quickly ' ” 4 overthrow of the broad coalition government Nagy formed at the
weekend and announced creation of a new regime under Janos Ks. dar. the old Communist party boss who served as one of Nagy's min- isters.
They ,claimed they had captured Nagy, who appealed to the world for help in "the battle against this aggression" in a night 1;. d over Radio Budapest. The rebels said Nagy was safely hidden.
Josef Cardinal Mindszcnty es- caped the Russian vise. The No- man Catholic Prelate. freed by Hungarian troops only last Tues- day from house arrest. took rs- fuge in the U.S. Legation in Buds- pest.
From early morning until it was silenced in mid-morning. Radio Budapest reiterated Nagy's ap- peals for aid. Telephone and,ielc- graph lines from Hungary to Aus- tris later went dead. apparently snapped by the " aslans.
Refugees. some w o u n d e d. streamed across the Austrian bor- der in a snowstorm. Many of the meny only escorted weeping wives and children to the line. embraced them and turned back to loin the rebel lines. I
About 6.000 were estimated to have made it into this neutral na- tion when the pattern of Russian troop movements across Western llusry cut off most of the flow.g Hungary cut off most of the flow.
one to escape was Mrs. Anny Kethly. 66. the Hungarian Social Democratic leader and a rnemb of Nagy's latest government. She planned to go to New York and plead before the UN.
The Russian attack was launched in some areas at 2 a.m.. a few hours after Hungarian and Soviet generals had opened talks on technical details for the with- drawal of all Soviet troops from Hungary.
Maj.-Gen. Pal Maleter. defence minister. was captured along with the rest of his Hungarian negotiat- ing - . ' .
Marshal Georgi K. Zhukov, So- viet defence minister. was re-

BATTLE AT DAWN
The new battle of Budapest opened about daylight.
The R i J the .3,- would be bombed unlcss .Nagy's government surrendered by noon, a threat which Soviet bomber squadrons carried out.
Some 250 Hungarians. including about 50 women. held off the Rus- sians from the newspaper Szsbad Nep's building, near the intersec- tion of Joszcf Ring and Rakoczy streets.
EDITOR TALKS
An editor of that now-national- lat Communist party organ com- municated some details by tele- type to the Associated Press Vi- enna buresu while the tight went on.
"We have almost no weapons- only light machine guns. Russian- made long rifles and some ear- bines." he wrote. "We haven't any kind of heavy guns.
"The people are jumping at the tanks, throwiiu in hand grenades and closing the drlvers' windows.
"The Hungarian people are not afraid of death. it is only a pity that we can't stand for long . . . .
"What is the United Nations doing? give us a little encourage- ment . . . .
"Now I have to run over to the next room and fire aorne shots fromthewlndow... ."
ATTACK GYOII
The town of Gyoer. a Hungar- ian stronghold that was the seat of the October rebellion, was re- ported a primary target of the Russians in the west. Austrians authorities said hundreds of Soviet tanks attacked and apparently captured it.
Russians advanced also on Soph- ron and the border station of Heg-
yesbalom.

OTTAWA (CF) - Prime Minis- icr St. Laurent indicstcxi Sunday night that Parliament may be called into session if the United Nation sets up a police force for the Middle East and asks Cana- dian participation.
He announced In a speech broadcast over a national radio and television hookup:
"The Canadian government is ready to recommend Canadian participation in such a United Nations force if it is to be cstab lished and if it is thought that Canada could play a useful role."
IURE OF APPROVAL
At another point he added:
"And I am sure that. if and when any action oi ours requires. according to our practices. the ap- proval by Parliament. that ap- proval will be given in no uncer- tain terms."
Earlier Sundsy at New York. the United Nations General As- sembly approved a . solution ask- ln! UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarsklold to submit a plan for estabiising a police force in the Middle East.
The resolution was proposed by Canada's External Affairs Minis- ter Pt.-arson. wbo' envisaged an "international police and peace” force to ”secure and supervise" I cenation of hostilities in the Middle East.
Mr. st. Laurent said the cans- dian government has "strong reason to believe that a United Nations command will he estab lbiicd within the (8 hours set In the Canadian resolution."
in his report to the Canadian people. he ranged over his gov- ernment's actions and positions with respect to the Middle East and Hungarian trouble spots.
STRAINED ALLIANCE
On British and French armed involvement in the Middle East situation. he said:
"The present crisis has strained both the Western Alliance and the bonds of the Commonwealth more than any other event since the Second World War.
"If we can use it as the op- portunity to dissipate the block cloud which has hung over the Middle East these many years,
the present danger and strains 7"”
may prove to have been a price worth paying."
Russian action in Hungary had made "a mock ,y of Soviet state- ments" that Russia's leaders were prepared to renegotiate their relations with Communist satellite countries ,on the basis of equality and non-interference in internal affairs.
aaonsr INTERVENTION
Referring to Israel's invasion of Egypt and the armed intervention of Britain and France. Mr. Sf- Laurant said:
"Because we believe that a P9" maneat iiernent of Israel's re- latioiu with its iieishboru Ind 0' the future of the Bus! C8131! should be reached by . negotiations under the nest: of the United Nations. the Canadian mvemmmi rggreta that Israel

against Egypt. although we rec- ognize that Israel has been sulr lect to grave threats and provoca- tions during the last few years."
The Communist countries had contributed directly to the present crisis by s up plyin g offensive weapons in large quantities to Egypt. thus threatening to upset the balance of power between Israel and its neighbors.
He said that through all the Middle East tensions. which in the last two weeks had become "very grave." Canada has stead- ily encouraged efforts to reach a fair settlement based on the prin- clple that lsrael should live and per-"but not the principle that it should expand at the ex- pense of its Arab neighbors."
