...WANT the world to know there can be no compromise." So ran one of the last messages scribbled by Premier Imre Nagy in the bloody days of November 1956, when Soviet tanks were stamping out the last flames of the Hungarian revolt, and Nagy himself was a subject of a TIME cover that never ran (see cut). Last week the world learned that there had indeed been no compromise-either on the part of Imre Nagy or on the part of Nikita Khrushchev. The reasons for Nagy's obduracy in not confessing before his execution were simple and heroic...
President Eisenhower led the U.S. protest against the Kremlin's execution of Hungarian Revolutionaries Imre Nagy, Pal Maleter and two comrades (see FOREIGN NEWS) with his strongest anti-Communist statement since Budapest. "I cannot think of any incident that could have, and has, more shocked the civilized world," said he at his press conference. "It is clear evidence that the intent of the Soviets is to pursue their own policies of terror and intimidation to bring about complete subservience to their will.

...executions of ex-Premier Imre Nagy, General Pal Maleter and two other lesser leaders of the Hungarian revolt were in wanton defiance of public pledges (see below) given by the puppet Communist government maintained by Russian tanks in Budapest.

It conceded that neither Nagy nor Maleter had confessed guilt, deliberately failed to give the date of their execution (which probably occurred only a few hours before issuance of the communique). Asked when the trial had taken place, Chief Prosecutor...
Back in Bloom. The response was an outburst of fury unparalleled since the Hungarian revolt itself. Italian Foreign Minister Giuseppe Pella withdrew his nation's Minister to Budapest, refused to consent to the appointment of a new Hungarian Minister to Rome. In Montevideo students hurled a gasoline bomb at the Soviet embassy, and Russian missions in New Zealand, Bonn, Istanbul and Copenhagen were all stoned. (As a countermeasure, the Russians permitted a carefully stage-managed crowd to break seven windows in the Danish embassy in Moscow...
