A-16 • THE EVENING STAR. Washington, D. C. WEDNESDAY. IA.M AKY IS. 1»57 Dudas to Die for Leading Hungarian Rebellion BUDAPEST, Jan. 15 (JP).— A Communist military court was reported to have imposed a death sentence today on Josef Dudas, a leader of Hungary's uprising against the Russians. A usually reliable source said Mr. Dudas, a bold looking man with a varied political background, was condemned on charges that included seizure and suppression of the Communist news- paper Szabad Ney October 29. Confirmation was lacking. Hungary's government-con trolled press has said not a word about Mr. Dudas' trial, though it has acknowledged the imposi tion of 22 death sentences so far under a martial law decree that makes even the illegal possession of ammunition a capital crime. Secrecy Around Trial A 20-year-old welder was the latest addition to the official list. The trade union paper Nepa karat announced the welder, Istvan Horvath, is to die and others of a fighting group he led —the number was not stated— are going to prison for 5 to 10 years for “disarming revenue officers” and other offenses in Budapest. Secrecy shrouds the trials. Premier Janos Radar's Red regime has refused visas for three former attorneys general! of Britain who sought to come to Budapest to attend as ob-: servers. The men turned down are Sir Hartley Shawcross. Sir Prank Soskice and Sir Lionel Heald. Mr. Dudas was riding high at the peak of the rebellion. At one time he was running the city of Budapest for the in surgent students and workmen. He talked with reporters in in terviews and news conferences. He impressed them as aggres sive and adventurous. Whatever he did to Szabad Nep, that Communist publica tion has never reappeared. Its place as the official party organ has been taken by a new paper, Nepszabadsag. Since 1945, Mr. Dudas had been a member of a number of political groups in Hungary, ranging from the moderate smallholders to the Communists. Imprisoned in ’4B He went to prison in 1948, a time when Matyas Rakosi was running Hungary as Communist Party boss. He was released last 2 in Family Slain, Mechanic Sought FORT WAYNE, Ind., Jan. 16 (/P). —A 35-year-old woman and her 5-year-old daughter were slashed to death in the basement of their home yesterday, and po lice were looking for the missing husband and father. The bodies of Mrs. Pearl Keifei and her daughter, Doro thy. bearing innumerable slash wounds, were found in opposite corners of the basement. An older daughter, Caroline. 14, dis covered the bodies when she came home from school. Police Chief Mitchell Cleve land said Richard Keifer, 36- year-old mechic, w'as being sought for questioning in the j deaths. Keifer, a mechanic at the Security Cartage Co., had reported to his foreman at 6:30 a.m. that he was not feeling well and would not come to work. The police chief said the wom an and the girl apparently were killed soon after 7:30 a. m., when the older girl and a son. Paul. 16. had left for classes at North Side High School. from Chas.

In the final days of the short-lived revolt Premier Imre Nagy ordered his arrest, but Mr. Dudas was said to have been released on parole. Before the Russians launched their successful attack November 4 to crush the rebellion, Mr. Dudas edited a newspaper called Magyar Pueggetlense* (Hun garian Independence*. V Meantime, the Communists pushed on with their efforts to uproot resistance. Nepszabadsag announced Budapest police had uncovered a submachine gun, eight rifles and some grenades cached by a group led by Byula Kohali, described as “a man with a criminal record.” On the economic front, radio Budapest said Red China is lending Hungary 200 million rubles (SSO million) for recon struction work.

It quoted the city council as saying "only” 1,700 perished. Some Western estimates have run as high as 20,000, with even 50,000 men tioned for the whole country.

Jan. 16 .(/P).—Leading politicians in the [Central Celebes said today they plan to reclaim “provincial status” lot their area of the Eastern Indonesia island Janu ary 23. Informants said the Central Celebes long has sought separate recognition from the central In donesian government. They said political parties and other or ganizations in the region were opposed to the Jakarta govern ment’s plan for lumping the area with the northern province of the island. That would divide the Celebes into only two prov inces. The Celebes as a whole has been seeking more autonomy, as have other' restive regions of the young Indonesian republic. Sources close to President Su karno reported that he plans to form a revolutionary council to give him a stronger hand in deal ing with the problems facing Indonesia. There was a differ ence of opinion as to what the projected council plan would mean, but it was reported it would have veto power over the government.
