Middle East Force UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Nov. 24 (AP) The U.N.

Assembly overwhelmingly called on Britain, France and Israel again today to withdraw from Egypt and gave Dag Hammarskjold wide powers to deploy the Middle East police force. The Assembly renewed its demand despite an Israeli announcement that she had withdrawn two brigades, roughly 6.000 men, from Egypt and a British announce- ment moving up by 48 hours the departure of the first 1 i If J. rf -'i i I Vs 1 J' if 1 I1 Aiiiiiiiiiw nnii i in. i inn i linn t-t- in itt- iiiiii i iiwrrihltr-iirwiwwnnriwi i the action to halt the strike on the British battalion to be withdrawn from Port Said. Union President William Bradley immediately wired locals in all struck ports instructing them to resume work.

Brooklyn dock leader Anthony Anastasia ordered his men to go back to work tomorrow morning, but it was not expected that full-scale work in all of the ports would be resumed before Monday morning. The government will seek before the 10 days expire to have the order extended by- agreement for the full 80-day "cooling off" period provided for in the law.

The United States I voted for this resolution. Then the Assembly voted 65-0 in favor of a resolution by Canada. Colombia, India, Norway, United States and Yugoslavia authorizing the secretary general to go ahead with his arrangements for building up the police force In Egypt and using it.

RED BLOC ABSTAINS The Soviet bloc of nine coun tries abstained on this resolution. The voting brought out sharply the continued split between the United States and its Western partners, Britain and France and wound up three days of acrimonious maneuvering for votes. The United States, after wavering yesterday toward an abstention, came out firmly today in favor of the Asian-African resolu tion. This added to the bitterness of the British and French dele gates against the United States. Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand and Israel were the five countries voting against the Asian-African resolution.

Belgium. Canada, China, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal and South Africa abstained and Nicaragua was absent. TOLD TO GO AHEAD The resolution giving the secretary general the powers he wanted to direct the emergency force also authorized him to go ahead with exploring practical arrangements and negotiations of agreements for clearing the Suez Canal.

3) Real FSU Haridtul; Auburn Wins 13-7 Demands Return Of Imre Nagy Slavs Also Ask Action BUDAPEST, Hungary. Nov. 24 Lit The General Workers Council of Greater Budapest demanded tonight that the kidnaped former Premier Imre Nagy be brought back and installed as head of the Hungarian government. (This coincided with a demand by Yugoslavia that the Hungarian government live up to its promise and either permit Nagy to return to his home in Budapest or take up refuge in Yugoslavia. President Tito's government said It did not believe Nagy went to Romania of his own free will, as the Hungarian government declared.) The council claims to represent all the workers' of the capital and 65 per cent of those in the rest of the country.

It asked Premier Janos Kadar's government to dis close through Budapest radio Nagy's present whereabouts and "the true circumstances of his de-1 parture." WHEREVER HE IS" The council requested that a three-member delegation be permitted to visit Nagy personally "wherever he is." Council members scoffed at the government version of Nagy's "voluntary" departure for Romania, saying they didn't believe a word of it. A five-member committee investigated Nagy's disappearance and reported that the version published by the Yugoslav press apparently was correct. "If this is true, the Hungarian workers will give a resounding answer," a member of the council added. CLING TO DEMANDS He said the workers are clinging to all their demands on the Kadar government including the reinstatement of Nagy and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Budapest. "We want to know where Nagy Is and when we find him, we want him to return as prime minister," the council member said.

But the council advised workers not to launch another strike because "workers have to live." Leaders of the council said Hungary loses about 27 million dollars a day when production is at a complete standstill and "ultimately the workers have to, pay for (Continued on Page 4, Col. 1) U.S. Tried Short Wave Transmitter WASHINGTON. Nov. 24 JP-The United States acknowledged today It had operated a secret shortwave transmitter in the American legation in riot-torn Budapest.

The State Department, in disclosing this, said the radio ceased operating 10 days ago. Officials reported the radio transmitter was used "only for a few days." This was done, they said, because chaotic conditions In the Hungarian capital had shut down all normal communications, arousing fears for the safety of American personnel. NORMAL. CHANNELS" Legation messages to the State Department, said press officer Joseph Reap, are being transmitted via "normal channels." Reap added pointedly that the United States expects the Hungarian regime to "maintain these normal facilities as they have assured U. S.

officials will be the case." Officials reported that the transmitter ceased its operations about 10 days ago when normal communications facilities were restored. State Department communications with its legation in Budapest virtually collapsed after the Soviets unleashed their military onslaught, Reap said. Answering other questions, Reap said the State Department has "no reason to doubt" Yugoslav charges that the Soviets have abducted former Hungarian Premier Imre Nagy. But, he said, the department has "no comment" on the development at this time. The While House also declined comment on Nagy ground its continuance would "imperil the national health and safety."

Green will make his forecast of revenues for the 1957-59 biennium Along with his forecast will be some estimates of how much the state could expect to raise from extending the present limited 3 per cent sales tax and other pro- posed levies. There already are indications that the matter of providing ade-j quale revenues will be one of the imost talked about subjects to come before the 1957 Legislature convening in April. 'IT MAY WELL BE Last Saturday, Gov, Collins told a news conference of weekly newspaper editors that "it may well be" that the next Legislature will have to provide new revenue if Florida is to progress. Asked if he foresees any new taxes for the state. Collins said he didn't want to make any definite statement until he receives a report from a citizens' committee which is studying Florida's tax structure.

Nearly all the budget requests for the 1957-59 biennium are in and Budget Director Harry Smith said they probably will run close to 600 million dollars for the highest total in history. The 1955 Legislature appropriated a record 425 million dollars to operate the state during the current two-year period without levying any new taxes. The Citizens Tax Council has released a report on cigarette tax collections and will come forth with another tomorrow on the state tax on bonds, stocks and bank accounts. But the big report on the 3 per cent sales tax isn't ready yet. various estimates have been made as to how much an across the board sales tax on food, cloth ing, machinery and other items now exempt would bring in.

The report this week by the state comptroller's office will bring the first official estimate from that key collecting agency on how much in new taxes could be expected by various extensions of the sales tax. The report will serve as a guide to the Cabinet Budget Commission which begins consideration of the budget requests Dec. 17. and to the legislative appropriations committees which will have the tough Job of keeping appropriations within revenue estimates. Yule Eve Holiday Set WASHINGTON, Nov.

24 UFi -President Eisenhower today ordered a Christmas Eve holiday for federal employes. His action gives them a four- day holiday since Christmas falls on a Tuesday. The President's memorandum to heads of federal departments and agencies made the usual reservations about maintaining skeleton staffs where necessary and keeping key personnel of such departments as defense and state on That was Just part of an inspired Individual effort. Renn completed the only pass he threw, for 17 yards. Twice he quick-kicked, for 47 and 61 yards.

Highlight of an ace defensive perrorm-ance was his interception of an Auburn pass in the end zone. Save for a bitter-bad break after Auburn's first touchdown, tills might have been the Semi-noles' first triumph over a Southeastern Conference team. ODOM IN COLLISION Billy Odom, the speedy senior from Mt. Dora, gathered in the Auburn kickoff on his four-yard line, and 10,000 shivering fans will testify that he would have Lighter Side Two women were comparing notes about their husbands.

In the clear at the Auburn 34, with not a Tiger in front of him. Odom ran head-on into Barnes, who had turned around to lend a hand with the blocking. Odom was nearly kayoed by the impact. Auburn unleashed an accurate passing attack in the first half, bringing eight completions in 12 tosses for 154 yards and a touchdown that provided a 7-0 lead at the midway point.

The score came with about six minutes to go in the second quarter when end Red Phillips caught a short strike from quarterback Howell Tubbs and went the distance, a 62-yard play. It was one of a half-dozen passes that All-American candidate Phillips bagged for 128 yards.

24 I Two men burned to death and 14 others suffered injuries when a thunderous explosion and fire turned the Southland Feed Mills elevator Into a pillar of flame today. The blast knocked out power lines and shook a large section of north Dallas at 3:40 a.m. Flames, touched off by the explosion, billowed up through the 135-foot elevator and were visible for miles. FIGHT WAY' OUT The 14 men 12 employes of the mill and two switchmen for the Katy railroad fought their way out of the flames and smoke.

It is as if this part of the world waits helplessly for a stream of senseless events to explode in a fury of suicidal insanity. The whole fertile crescent area Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan-is in ferment. Plot moves against counterplot until the distinction between friend and enemy is blurred.

Sinister forces work In the shadows. Moslem against Christian, Arab against Arab, all of them professed enemies to the death of Israel. Rumors fly on the winds of gossiprumors of religious strife in store for half-Christian, half-Moslem Lebanon and elsewhere in the Arab Near East; rumors of activities by agents for the Russians, agents for the British and French, agents for Egyptians, Syrians. SOLDIERS STAND GUARD Grim soldiers stand guard night and day, not only over British and French Installations, the likely targets of terror attacks, but over installations of their own Arab allies.
