While Puppet Premier Janos Kadar went on the air last week to condemn the "whispering campaign" for a new rebellion, the embers of the October revolution flared momentarily across the border. At a Hungarian refugee camp outside Vienna, two members of the Hungarian Repatriation Delegation arrived in search of the "thousands and thousands" of refugees that Radio Budapest was saying now wanted to return home. Near the camp gate 50 refugees spotted the Kadar men in the convoy's third car, and leaped to grab them. A special police detail assigned to the delegation by apprehensive Austrians wrested...
...time most of the camp's 750 Hungarians were crowding close, shaking fists and screaming obscenities at the two cowering Communists inside the sedan. Hands thrust up a crude red banner. In German it proclaimed: "Pfui to Communist Bloodhounds." Below was a roughly inked figure dangling from gallows: "Kadar." "How much did you get from the Russians?" roared one young man. "You come here to smile but at home you are killing the people," spat an old woman. "We don't want to see our children's hangmen," yelled another...
Under steadily mounting pressure from the Kadar government, every Western correspondent in Budapest save Associated Press Veteran Carl Hartman had pulled out of Hungary last week.

Against this background, the antics of Premier Janos Kadar were more and more like those of a terrified court jester in the retinue of Genghis Khan. Banqueting with stony-eyed Chou En-lai last week. Kadar drooled praise of Red China and joked self-derisively about pictures of half-naked dancers in his own party press...
Rival Spirits. Most of the actual work of consolidating the regime seems to have been transferred to Gyorgy Marosan, 49. a flat-nosed, gate-mouthed Socialist Party renegade who, like Kadar, had been through ex-Party Boss Rakosi's torture mill in seven years in a Communist prison. Though Marosan appeared to have more spirit than Kadar, his appeals to sullen Hungarian audiences to help save the economy had an unrealistic sound. More in the spirit of those audiences, though no longer perhaps within their capacity, were the posters, plastered on Budapest walls last week, exhorting Hungarians...
