It seemed apparent the regime had embarked on a campaign to wipe out the last of resistance.

UP) President Eisenhower called on free people everywhere today Human Rights Day to take fresh note of Russian ruthlessness and never forget "what tyranny has done to our fellow man in Hungary." Soviet brutality there is cause for "worldwide mourning," for reactions of "horror and revulsion, 1 the President said. He added it almost completely repudiates the United Nations human rights declaration. Noting this is the.eighth anniversary of the declaration's adoption by the U.N. General Assembly, Eisenhower said in a statement put out at his vacation headquarters at Augusta last night: "This year the free world has the most compelling reasons for observing human rights day with renewed awareness' and resolution, but it has littte cause to 'celebrate' that day, "The recent outbreak of brutality in Hungary has moved free peoples everywhere to reactions of horror and revulsion.

Our hearts are filled wilh. sorrow. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the courageous, liberty-loving people of Hungary."

The Red regime ordered military trial for a variety of offenses punishable by death and dissolved the major workers' councils that had' tried to negotiate for Hungarian freedom. The Vienna telephone exchange would not accept calls for Budapest, saying there was no contact. But AP correspondent Harold Milks reported attempts to telephone the hotel where Western newsmen stay in Budapest or the home numbers of Hungarian -esi dent correspondents met with the reply: "Those numbers are out of order." One Western diplomatic mission in Vienna said its only word from Budapest since the communications blackout was imposed was a message at 6 p.m. last night that "all was quiet" in the capital.

Word seeped through that police were controlling traffic strictly in the Budapest area in an apparent effort to halt movement of. any anti-government groups or arms for them. Radio Budapest said production in the pork slaughter house near the vast Csepel industrial region south of the city was "disturbed when police up cars transporting workers living outside-- the town to the slaughterhouse."

Canadian Plane Lost; 62 People Are Aboard Airliner Vanishes During Windstorm VANCOUVER, B.C. Oft A Trans-Canada Air Lines plane carrying 62 persons vanished during a violent windstorm over mountainous south central British Columbia last night and was believed to have crashed.

North Star Soviet Censure In Hungary Bid In UN Assembly UNITED NATIONS, OT The United 15 other, nations asked the U.TN. Gen'eral Assemblj' today to condemn the Soviet government for violating the U.N. Charter by depriving Hungary of independence and the Hungarians of their rights.

The being introduced in the Assembly today would call on. the Russians "to make immediate arrangements for the withdrawal, under United Nations observation, of its armed farces from Hungary and to permit the re-establishment of the political independence of Hungary." One outspoken opponent of the Soviet action in Hungary, Cuban Delegate Emilio Nunez-Portuondo, said he would introduce a resolution in a few days to put the sembly on record in favor of Russia's suspension of expulsion from the U.N. if it continued to disregard assembly resolutions on Hungary. He said he also would call for ouster of the Hungarian delegation. There was no chance that the Assembly would suspend or expel Russia even if it should adopt such a Cuban resolution.

The Soviet Union and puppet Hungarian Premier Janos Kadar have ignored or rejected four previous Assembly resolutions adopted since Nov. 4, when Soviet troops returned to Budapest, installed Radar and began a bloo'dy repression of the widespread revolt against communism.

La mar Peanut Growers Vote Tuesday Cotton and peanut growers return to voting places Tuesday to settle the fate of marketing quotas on the respective crops for 1957. Lamar County farmers join others across the nation in the referendum. For the cotton farmers, a two- thirds majority favoring marketing quotas will mean penalties on excess cotton and price supports between 75 and 90 per cent. Should over one-third of the nation's upland growers vote against quotas, price supports will be placed at 50 per cent of parity.

In either case, acreage allotments remain in effect. The peanut growers face a similar situation. The program to be settled by referendum is essentially the same in 1954, 1955 and 1956. Price support loans will be available at 75 to 90 per cent if the quotas are put into effect. The rate will be 50 per cent if quotas are not approved.
