Convair’s Washington office, in releasing the photo today, says it is the first official view of the Kadar Seeking Program To End Hungarian Chaos BUDAPEST, Dec. 26 UP).—The Hungarian people prolonged their Christmas celebration today, but members ot Premier Janos Kadar s Communist government were reported hard at work. The Communists are trying to find a program to get the (till rebellious country out of its political and economic chaos. An informed Hungarian source said this "new program" prob- ably will be proclaimed before New Year’s. He forecast, however, it will not be anything spectacular. He said the most that could be hoped for would be that it might serve as the basis for interparty talks to seek to bring non-Com munist parties into the present unpopular regime. Might Drop Kadar If other parties, notably the popular Smallholders Party, agree to join in a new' govern ment which could command some popular support, it would give the Russians an opportunity to drop Mr. Kadar as Premier. The two-day Christmas holi day ends tonight. The expanded observance, a return to an old custom in many European na tions, was sanctioned by the Communists this year as part of a policy of seeking wider public backing. Workers return tomorrow to their jobs in factories, mines and shops—that is, if ther plants have coal and power to produce and if their mines are operating. Many of the country’s biggest factories have had to shut down or go on short work weeks, with tens of thousands of workers laid off, because of a lack of fuel. More Coal Wanted The government party press claims Russia is already sup- 1 plying daily shipments of coal which are promised to total 700,- 000 tons by the end of March. But Hungary still wants more— 1 and better coal—from the West. 1 Loans are also sought from 1 the West. But nobody here knew 1 j| $27,000 Returned To Tax Collector LEXINGTON.

War on Starlings Will Be Resumed On Parade Route In preparation lor the inaugu ration next month, John W. 1 Batson, superintendent of trees and landscaping, District gov ; ernment, said today the war against the starlings will be re sumed early next week. Mr. Batson proposes to use his own men and spray a chem ical on the trees to give the | startings a “hot foot”' and drive | them away. A preliminary test 1 on trees in front of the depart ment store of S. Kann Sons Co., 'at Eighth street and Market space N.W., about a month ago was pronounced a success. The Fire Department will be asked to co-operate in supplying ladders, Mr. Batson said, and trees from Constitution avenue to Fifteenth street N.W. in which the starlings roost will be sprayed. William H. Carr, maintenance' superintendent of Kann’s. said today the spraying has proved *“100 per cent effective” in front of the store. Gun-Drawing Test Fatal to Policeman DALTON.

WEiB IL.qJ UNIVERSITY 'Forgotten' East Germans Waitin Refugee Camps BERLIN, Dec. 26 (jP).—Thousands of refugees from Com munist East Germany spent Christmas Day In bleak, ciowddcl barracks, their unhappiness sharpened by the feeling they are being passed over while the world’s sympathies go to the Hun garians. Many of those interviewed in one Wist Berlin camp, where some refugees have been living for months, mumbled the belief: “The Hungarians are getting, preference for political reasons.'’* West German officials disagree.! The Hungarians must seek a haven beyond their borders, they!, say. while the East German flight to the West is an in ternal problem for the German nation. • But one young German voiced the feelings of most of the relu-| gees when he said, “We are for- 1 gotten. This Christmas the world J thinks only of the Hungarian ' refugees.” Months in Primitive Camps s Some of the East German l ! .refugees have spent months in 1 primitive, unsanitary - looking i camps waiting for their freedom air flight to West Germany, i Now the prospects of new jobs and homes in the West look more distant. Thousands of Hungarians are clogging recep tion centers in West Germany !that once took East German escapees. While West Berlin enjoyed Its most prosperous Christmas since * prewar days, there was little to i remind the more than 25.000 East German refugees In some 40 camps of the holiday season. The best that hard-pressed of ficials could do was to supply them with a little pocket money and a better than average meal. Officials admit privately that the food normally is just enough for subsistence. Refugee officials say they wpuld welcome outside help to ! THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. C ** WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IK.MI supplement the financial aid given by West Berlin and West Germany. Bad living conditions and lack of ways to keep busy have shattered refugee morale, ! they say. Morals have been for-, gotten by refugees in some camps. Million Refugees <j More than a million East Ger man escapees have passed through West Berlin centers since 1949. About 75 per cent of these have been flown to new homes in West Germany. The others mostly have made new homes in West Berlin. But officials say more than 10,000 refugees still living in the camps are classified as unwanted by West Germany. As months go by conditions get worse for these people, who include many; old folk regarded as unemploy-, able, so-called social misfits and "criminal elements.” About four or five thousand refugees still are coming over to! West Berlin every week. They sneak over from Communist East Berlin carrying knapsacks or suitcases. Sometimes they take a 1-cent ride to freedom on the Berlin subway which links g*st and West. For most, the exodus westward is a flight from Communist pov erty. Only about 3 or 4 per cent of East German escapees «re classified as victims of political persecution. * Labor-short West Germany gives the best break to East Ger man refugees who are able bodied and between the ages of ll and 24. Most of these young mei\and women quickly are sent to lobs in factories, steel mills lsid mines. i But for others. It is a walCof weeks and sometimes mordUis before they are flown to wst Germany reception centers Bor a much slower process of place ment.
