elements to create a

Provincial probe of

The provincial government
is expected to appoint a royal
commission in January to
probe the Okanagan fruit in-

producers and those paid by
the consumers.

armed revolt, Kadar said that
at the time people elsewhere
were staging peaceful demo-
strations, armed bands in Gy-
oer, Bacs and Sopron were
murdering hundreds of Com-
munists.

“It became even worse when
the government in Budapest
ordered the cease-fire. The
party (Hungarian Working
People’s party)” headquarters
was under fire and people
were kidnapped,” he said.

He added that when the
rebels could not find the men
they were looking for, they
killed their families instead.

There had been only two
alternatives, he explained.
These were:

“To push on with the policy
of Imre Nagy, which would
have led to a collapse and
would have left the country
without defense against the
White Terror, or to protect
the achievements of socialism
and restore order with the
help of Soviet forces.”

Kadar pledged that when
order had been restored talks
would be held on withdrawal
of Soviet forces.

“Anyone still asking for So-
viet troops to be withdrawn
earlier, speaks for the coun-
ter-revolution,” he declared.

Outlining his government’s
policy and reforms, Kadar
promised:

@ To replace the former sec-
ret police with a special
People’s Police.

® To reduce the number of
high Communist officials
by reducing the number of
ministries and streamlining
administration.

@ To allow students to choose
what language they will
study in school.

® To use the Kossuth arms
on the national flag.

® To declare March 15 a na-
tional holiday celebrating
the 1848 uprising.

This week Kadar shook up
his cabinet to remove Enro
Gero, former first secretary
of the Hungarian ‘Working
People’s party, Andras Hege-
dues, former deputy minister,
and others associated with the
policies of the Rakosi regime.

He was also reported to be
holding discussions with for-
mér premier Imre Nagy, now
living in the Yugoslav em-
bassy. Kadar said officially,
however, that agreement with
Nagy “could be possible only
if he changes his attitude and
comes out of the Yugoslav em-
bassy to negotiate.

Future composition of Hun-
gary’s government, Kadar
said, would be determined in
elections contested by parties
which “stand for socialist prin-
ciples and serve the interests
of the workers.”
