...farther, meet Zhukov face to face; such a meeting would "weigh heavily in the President's fav.or. I'm certain that the President would not be taken in." Western diplomats leaked worries that Ike's friendly remarks about Zhukov, suppressor of the bloody Hungarian revolt, might kill a U.S.-sponsored United Nations resolution condemning Soviet brutality in Hungary, might unduly alarm U.S. allies fearful of bilateral U.S.-Soviet negotiations...
...country of its size, Hungary has an extraordinary record for providing the U.S. with first-rank scientist immigrants. Leo Szilard (key atom-bomb physicist), Edward Teller ("Father of the H-bomb") and the late great Mathematician John von Neumann (an Atomic Energy commissioner) were all Hungarian-born. So when refugees began streaming out of rebellious Hungary last year, the National Academy of Sciences set up an office at Camp Kilmer, N.J. and sent an expeditionary force to Austria to help educated Hungarians find jobs...

...water-diviner was given temporary prominence when he claimed to be able to detect ammunition dumps on the French coast. Since Hitler was queer for occult arts, Military Intelligence was told to furnish a Hungarian astrologer with the birth dates of high-ranking German officers. This piece of nonsense led to the useful discovery that the War Office's list of enemy officers was pretty much made up of dead or retired Germans...
