Thc Austrians were embraced and told "We are brothers again." 'This is the most remarkable thing In 12 years," Auslrian police said In a border interview. "It seems that the Hungarian Communist control forces have been withdrawn to the Interior to help fight the rebels. Their old watch towers are empty.

This border appears In control of the revolutionaries." The Hungarians reported rumors that the Russians were forcing Nagy at pistol point lo make his announcements to the Hungarian people, even thai he had been arresled and lhat the Russians had taken over complete command in Budapest. Nagy's desperate bid to answer Hungarian demands for administrative reforms was broadcast by radio Budapest even as rebel groups told newsmen at the Aus-.
