A A liiiiii Mu West Had Expected Withdrawal BUDAPEST, Hungary, Nov. 30 (AP) Janos Kadar told the opening session of his Communist Party Congress today that Soviet troops will remain in Hungary "as long as this is required by the international situation." Soviet Premier Nikita S.

Khrushchev was an interested listener. Western sources here had speculated Khrushchev might use this visit to an nounce withdrawal of all or part of the 50,000 to 80.000 Soviet troops still in Hungary. He is expected to address the Congress tomorrow. The Hungarian party chiel declared Soviet troops re main in Hungary because of the world's failure to settle international issues. He said the government advocates mutual withdrawal of foreign troops an obvious reference to U.S.

forces in Europe. Kadar said that even if Soviet troops were withdrawn his regime is strong enough to defend itself against 'the enemy within." Then in direct reference to the 1956 anti-Soviet uprising he added: "If the reactionaries wrant to fight again we shall not Turn to Page 1-A, Column 5 KiJauea Iki piled cinders and ashes over Crater Rim Road to a depth of 90 feet or more before a 29-hour eruption ended last night.

The White House announced today that Eisenhower will speak over all major networks for 15 minutes starting at 7:15 p.m. E.S.T.

But the cinder cone was emitting a lot of steam.

The volcano fountain died for the third time at, 9:50 p.m. yesterday after aiH-hour eruption that saw flames reach a height of 1,700 feet. Because of the danger, Hawaii National Park rangers were forced to clear the crater rim of spectators. Scientists again were unable to predict whether Kilauea Iki will burst forth soon. Harmonic tremors recorded this morning were the weakest since before the eruption began.

Scientists said the fountain's maximum height, tained at 12:53 p.m. was the highest in recorded Hawaiian history and one of the greatest in the world.

December 1: "R-Day" in Honolulu. It's the day Honolulu drivers can turn right, after a complete stop, on most red lights throughout the city. This isn't true everywhere, warns Lieutenant Earl T. Kubo, the man in charge of accident investigation for the Honolulu Police Department. 1 I I I At some intersections, because of difficult traffic patterns or extra-heavy traffic, right turns on red will continue to be prohibited.

But these are plainly marked by signs directly below the traffic lights which say in no uncertain terms: "No right turn on red." The new system, placed in effect on the heels of the City's new one-way traffic pattern, is bound to cause some confusion, Kubo admits. So he has this warning for Honolulu drivers: "The public must be cautioned that while they are permitted to make a right turn on red, they still have to use caution. They must make a complete stop and yield to green light traffic." The system is similar to that used in most Mainland metropolitan centers, says Truman Doesn't Stand With Nixon-Anywhere WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (AP) Former President Truman was reported today to have refused to participate in a Senate ceremony solely because he objected to standing near Vice-President Nixon. Senator Young, Democrat of Ohio, said it happened on the opening day of Congress this year.

As a new Senator and admirer of Truman, Young told a reporter he invited Truman to escort him down the Senate aisle to be sworn in. Truman, who was in Washington at the time, was quoted by Young as replying in forcible language: "I'd like to very much, Steve, but I will not go in front of that Nixon As Vice-President, Nixon conducts Senate proceed- Turn to Page I-A, Column 1 Governor Quinn Vetoes Statehood Holiday Bill Governor Quinn has vetoed the bilfto make the third Friday of August each year an official holiday in observance of Statehood admission.
