U.S. Intelligence agent tells how
US. plotted Hungarian uprising

Facts concerning the part the United States pla
luticn last year were given to press correspondents her
ten years for the U.S. Intelligence in Austria.

British economist
sees world slump

Increase in the British

LONDON

bank rate to 7 percent may touch off

a world-wide economic crisis. This is the opinion of Sir Donald
McDougall, well known British economist in a letter to the

London Times, .
. The increase has drawn a

council of the British Trades :
Uhion Congress that it will
lead to severe unemployment:

of long duration.

The TUC general council
said it was~“bound to express
its apprehensior at the effect
of the government’s actions
upon the level of employment
and productivity.”

‘The most important effect of
tight money, Sir Donald Mc-
Dougall said in his letter to
the London Times, will be to
reduce for the time being
stocks of food and materials
held in Britain,

This in turn would reduce
the price which Sterling area
countries received for’ those
products in Britain and the
US.

It would mean a worsening
of the position of” the sterling

strong protest from the general

area in relation to the. United
States.

“There is thus a risk that
Wwe may set in train a cumula-
tive downward movement in
trade, production, incomes and

employment throughout the

world.”

Sir Donald noted that the
last time there was a slight
U.S. recession the price of
sterling area goods did not
fall because Britain and Wes-
tern Europe were booming.

But he evidently expected
the worst, if on top of declin-
ing U.S. demand for sterling
food and raw materials, Brit-
ish and European demand
drops. -

Such a drop would impov-
erish the Commonwealth
countries and British colonies.

Japan pushes proposals
for ‘suspension of tests

TOKYO

Japanese Prime Minister
Kishi last week sent cables
to U.S. President Eisenhower,
British Prime Minister Mac-
millan and Soviet Premier Bul-
ganin requesting that “thor-

“ough study and concurrence”
be given to Japanese propos- ~

als on disarmament and sus-
pension of nuclear tests.

The Japanese delegation at
the United Nations has already
presented a draft resolution in

ing suspension of nuclear tests
when agreement has been
reached on a system to check
such suspension.

The resolution proposed that
the UN Disarmament Sub-
committee should “convene by
January 1.

This week | British Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd told

Japanese Foreign Minister
Aiichiro Fujiyama that the
British government would not

the General Assembly propos-support Japan’s plea.

‘Intelligence had

PRAGUE

yed in the Hungarian counter-revo-
e last week by a man who worked for

The U.S. agent, Jozef Vicen,
a Slovak, was. arrested last
May trying to enter Hungary
by way of Slovakia. Deputy
Interior Minister Stefan Dem-
jan disclosed that before
working for the U.S.,, Vicen
had been a member of the
Tiso Separatist government of
Slovakia during the war.

Vicen said that for months
before the Hungarian upris-
ing he had been engaged in
recruiting agents for entry
into Hungary.

One week after the start of
the uprising he was sent from
Austria into Hungary to try
to organize flights by - Hun-
garian planes int6 West Ger-
many’ to pick up arms. This
had failed:

The U.S. Intelligence had
authorized the offering of big
rewards to any Hungarians
bringing Soviet planes or tanks
into Austria during the upris-
ing.

Although he had not been
connected with the work, he
knew of the forming of arm-
ed groups of runaway Hun-
garian students in both Aus-
tria and Western Germany.

U.S. funds had been made
available for the sending of
anti-tank weapons in Hungary
from Austria before and dur-
ing the uprising.

Much of the work he did for
the U.S. Intelligence had been
organized from Linz where,
before the withdrawal of the
occupation forces, the US.
an office
staff of around 100 persons.

After the failure of the
counter-revolution he was put
on to interrogating runaway
Hungarians in Austria.

In the spring of this year
he was selected to go to Hun-
gary to help re-establish the
US, Intelligence network
there. ;

Although reluctant to do so
he had finally agreed. His en-
try was to have been made
into north-east Hungary from
Slovakia. He was arrested
when making an attempt to
cross the frontiér.

I’m not talking about more
American imports, though
they’ll be needed But the most
pressing requirement for 1958
is a solid core of topnotch Ca-
nadians—who won’t come here
unless they are offered decent
wages. To date the policy has
been to starve the Canadian °

help, while shelling out gen-—

erously _to .so-called _“stars”
from south of the border.

It’s time to change this situa-
tion. Pressure from the fans—
that is, absence from games
until management moves—isg
the best way to force quick
action.
