dead. That last figure covers
mainly members of Nasser’s ir-
regular force who fight some-
times in uniform, sometimes in
civilian clothes.

“J toured the city again this
morning — war is an unpleas-
ant sight.

“Dead Egyptians lay sprawl-
ed across the streets. Tangled
wires, rubble, pathetic women
and children carrying bun-
dles.”

Denis Pitts, of the London
Daily Herald, cabled:

“T walked through the streets
of Port Said tonight. It was a
walk of horror, in which death
and destruction was the only
motif.

“The Egyptians killed here
number 1,500. British troops
killed number 15. And take it

tories there. They did not see
the workers in the factories,
they saw them dying in the
streets.

Pravda, Soviet Communist
party newspaper, last week
published an eye-witness ac-
count of events in Hungary
from one of those Czech work-
ers, Karel Kozel, of the C.K.D.
Stalingrad factory in Prague.

The report said: The tragedv
that roused the working peo-
ple of the whole world began
on Tuesday. Between five and
seven p.m. trucks carrying
groups of traitors, began to
drive up and rifles and .cart-
ridges were thrown into the
crowd.

The ordinary people came
out on to the streets with slo-
gans calling for the correction
of mistakes; the fascists pre-

er of socialism, of the Commu-
nist party, of friendship with
the Soviet people, was des-
troyed.

It should be noted that as
soon as the first rifle shots
were heard machine-guns be-
gan to rattle through Buda-
pest. On Wednesday, at the
request of the Hungarian gov-
ernment, Soviet tanks arrived
and calm set in.

On Thursday the working
people came out again on the
streets. Everything was «alm.
Hungarian citizens were sit-
ting on Soviet tanks. Then
suddenly counter - revolution-
aries strafed the crowd with
machine-guns from the roofs
and shooting began in the
streets.

pest no one was Safe from the

The counter-revolutionaries
used the chaos to create con-
ditions for the seizure of po-

litical power. Numerous or-
ganizations and committees
were formed, many calling

themselves people’s organiza-
tions.

We saw how the workers re-
acted to these groups. They
tore down their posters.

Pravda also carried another
eye-witness account from a
Czech newspaper man, Otakar
Svercezina, which gave a simi-
lar picture.

His report stressed the hazi-

ness of the situation in the
first few days of the fighting.
The bulk of the popuiation, he
said, did not know who to
side with and there was some
confusion in the Hungarian
Army.
