Visits Hungary
UN Mission Formed In Geneva;
Secretly Studying Relief Needs
BUDAPEST ()-A United Nations economic mission formed in
secret at Geneva this week to study Hungary's relief needs is operat-
ing under similar secrecy within this revolt-battered country.
Premier Janos Kadar's Soviet-supported government is keeping
the Hungarian people in the dark about the arrival and activities
of the four-man group, which reached Budapest Friday.
The mission is headed by Phillippe de Seynes, a Frenchman who
is UN undersecretary for economic affairs. He took off from New York
without fanfare last Monday. He called in three experts, normally
assigned to Rome and Geneva, to help him make the study.
Members Named
They are F. T. Wahlen, director of the agricultural division of

Oil Cau ses
Auto Crisis
for Britons
LONDON, (M)-Europe's oil fa-
mine has thrown Britain's auto-
mobile industry into a slump caus-
ing unemployment and shortime
work for tens of thousands of
workers.
Gasoline rationing following
blockage of the Suez Canal has
cut into car sales both at home
and in the European market.
Little Interest in Cars
With short gasoline supplies in
prospect for many months, motor-
ists are showing little interest in
new cars.
As a result, automobile makers
are cutting back production. Lay-
offs in this country's once boom-
ing motor industry are beginning
1 to snowball on top of widespread
short-time work.
Ford Motor Company is the
latest to announce a cutback-the
layoff of 1,000 of 12,000 men at its
Briggs Motor Bodies subsidiary
next week.
Dismissals Announced
More than 1,000 dismissals al-
ready have been announced by
various automakers around Co-
ventry. An estimated 35,000 more
workers are on a three or four-
day week.
The Daily Mail's motor corres-
pondent describes the situation as
"the worst crisis in the industry's
history."
May Be Worse
Some industry experts say the
slump may grow more acute. One
reason they give is that the fac-
tories don't have enough gasoline
to bring supplies into the plants
and make car deliveries.
They cited a Ford Motor Com-
pany statement to its employes. It
said that before rationing the
company used 200,000 gallons of
gasoline monthly on its internal
and external traffic, dealer deliv-
eries and representatives', cars.
Now, the company's r a t i o n

-steel, engineering and housing
section of the Economic Commis-
sion for Europe; and Paul Sinard,
an official serving with both the,
commission and the FAO.
The mission is registered at the
Grand Hotel on Margaret Island,
Budapest's Danube River resort
area, but was not available for
interviews yesterday.
Presumably the four men were
out talking with government offi-
cials and inspecting factories,
many of which are now closed
down or on short work weeks be-
cause of a national shortage of
coal since the October-November
revolution. They expect to stay
about four days.
The Hungarian press and radio,
both controlled by the govern-
ment, said not a word about their
arrival, though the party line here
has been that financial and tech-
nical aid will be needed from both
the East and the West to rebuild
the shattered economy.
Not Publicized
In disclosing Friday night that
the mission had arrived, UN of-
ficials in New York said Kadar
granted permission during private
Yuletide negotiations for the ex-
perts' entry on condition their
visit was not publicized in ad-
vance.
Perhaps this was a precautionI
against pro-Western demonstra-
tions, though it has been twoI
months since Soviet armored div-
isions crushed the revolt.
Hungarian workers have been
urging that UN Secretary Gen-
eral Dag Hammarskjold himself
should come to Hungary for a
broad examination of the situa-
tion. The government rebuffed a
proposal by Hammarskjold that he
make such a visit Dec. 16.
Hungary's economic situation
worsened.
The Kadar Communist party
newspaper, Nepszabadsag, com-
plained lagging coal production
would force further unemployment
in a country apparently already
headed for the bread line.

Roundup
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The govern-
ment moved yesterday to permit
the sale of surplus United States
farm commodities to Poland at
prevailing world market prices.
These are generally lower than
the subsidy-supported domestic
prices.
At the same time Secretary of
Commerce Sinclair Weeks said
that "at some future time con-
sideration may be given to appli-
cations for exports of such com-
modities to certain other Eastern
European countries."
This was in line with the Eisen-j
hower administration's program
j of encouraging Communist satel-
lite nations to seek independence
from Moscow. Secretary Weeks
did not name any other countries.

Building Crash'
Data Studied
By Committee
A special committee investigat-
ing the Jackson buildingcollapse
which killed 10 people Oct. 3, met
here in closed session yesterday in
its first examination of complete
data on the accident.
Committee chairman George
Brown, dean of the College of En-
gineering said the accident was
"a case of human failure" similar
to a mistake in judgment leading
to an automobile accident.
Unwilling to elaborate' further,
Dean Brown said the committee is
not yet prepared to make a recom-
mendation. Itsreport will be made
directly to the Governor's office
and will not be ready for at least

ing the Earl's term of office, the
railroads, coal mines, the gas and
electric industries, public trans-
port and the Bank of England
were absorbed by the government.
Labor forces also inaugurated
Britain's nationwide system of so-
cialized medicine and state-run
insurance that abolished medical
and hospital bills for citizens who
chose public rather than private
care.
The Attlee government's deal-
ings with the United States were
not without strife, but he con-
sistently called for Britain and
the United States to "march to-
gether in unity of principle and
unity of action."
The actions of the two coun-
tries became most divergent when
Britain recognized the Communist
Chinese government and plugged
for Red admission to the United
Nations' seat of exiled National-
ist China.

Proposals Listed
Specifically, President Eisen-
hower asked a none-too-eager
Congress to cooperate in telling
friendly and unfriendly nations
alike just "where we stand" by
authorizing:
1) Use of "the armed forces of
the- United States as he deems
necessary to secure and protect
the territorial integrity and politi-
cal independence" of any Middle
Eastern nation "against overt
armed aggression from any na-
tion controlled by international
communism." That would be done
only if such help was requested
by the endangered country and
"subject to the overriding author-
ity of the United Nations Security
Council."
2) American economic aid to
help the Mideast develop the eco-
nomic strength necessary to the
maintenance of national independ-
ence.
3) Military aid to any nation or
nations in the area which want it.
4) Use of mutual security funds
already available, for "economic
and defensive military purposes."
Economic Assistance
President Eisenhower proposed
that 200 million dollars a year be
made available for two years,
starting next July 1, for military
and economic assistance in the
troubled Mideast.
The resolution introduced to!
carry out his program also asked
that up to 200 million be made

Ike's Plan

By TAMMY MORRISON
A University political science
professor yesterday asserted the
"Eisenhower Doctrine" fails to
answer an important question in
the Middle East crisis-how Com-
munist subversion in that areais
to be prevented.
The President's request for
troops to curb aggression offers no
solution to "the increasing amount
of Soviet power in Egypt and
Syria," Prof. N. Marbury Efimenco
said.
Saying "there is nothing new or
startling about the proposal,"
Prof. Efimenco called it "a re-
statement of past State Depart-
ment pronouncements designed
partly to educate the American
public on the nature of our com-
mitments and interest in the
Middle East."
* Foothold Established
Because Russia has already
established a foothold in that
area, she has no need to resort to
invasion, he said. "There's not as
much danger of outright aggres-
sion as the plan envisages. We
wouldn't get out a public state-
ment if we thought the USSR was
really planning aggression there."
The Doctrine is aimed directly
at Egypt and Syria and indirectly
at Moscow, Prof. Efimenco com-
mented. "Egypt and Syria will
oppseit, ngrudsthat it con-

rulers do not themselves first resort to aggression."
The President dramatically underscored the "grave im-
portance" of his message to the legislators by delivering it in
person to a combined Senate-
House session with overflow- Efit enco
ing galleries, and to the na-
tion and the world by tele- 0 0 0
vision and radio. Criticizes
