iM — an hi l = eo RIBUNE 702-IREDS- FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1956 ssi Ltig ‘t tf ae No Hungarians being deported to Siberia Reports of mass arrests and deporiation of Hungar- ians to the Soviet Union were denounced as completely false by both the Hungarian and Soviet governments last week. ‘‘Not one single person’ had been deported to the Soviet Union , a_ statement broadcast over Budapest Radio declared last week. The statement said the ru; mors were invented by coun- ter-revolutionaries to stir up feeling against the Soviet Union abroad and against So- viet troops within Hungary in erder to prolong unrest and hamper production. The admitted that many had been made, pointing out that it had to combat terrorists intimidat- ing people from returning to work, as well as criminal ele- ments released by rioters who were robbing and plundering. government arrests It also admitted that those arrested had been sent to re- mote Hungarian provinces, and that some among them might be innocent. But all those ar- rested were being investigated. Continued from page 1 Those found not guilty would be freed, and the others would be brought before a. court later. A leaflet distributed in the capital said that Budapest workers’ leaders had protested - against deportations to Major- General K. Grebennyik, Soviet Army commander. General Grebennyik said no order had been issued for de- portations and no one had been taken out of the country. He would not permit deportations. The only people being arrested were those who had committed crimes. In the UN, Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitri Shepilov said charges that Hungarians weré being deported to the Soviet Union were an outright inven- tion. PLOT AGAINST SYRIA counters with Syrian planes, he added, reporting that two aircraft, one a British Canber- ra, had been shot down. In Copenhagen this week, Soviet Foreign Minister Dmit- ri Shepilov declared he had “incontestable information” of an intended British-French-Is- raeli attack on Syria, Leban- on and other Middle Eastern countries. British denials of the Syrian charge are clouded by belated Israeli admissions, following earlier French denials, that French planes participated in the Israeli invasion of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. The charges of British- French collusion with Israel were first aired by the Man- chester Guardian. Despite French denials, the influential British paper held-to its claim that “French service aircraft with French pilots took part in the Israeli offensive against Egypt” and that ‘French tanks as well as Mystere jet fight- ers and pilots were supplied to Israel a few days before the attack.” Later the Israeli government denied collusion but did not repeat its denial that French pilots were in Israel during the Sinai offensive.
