...pulled out of Hungary last week. In the past fortnight, six of the seven remaining reporters for Western wire services and newspapers have either been expelled by the government or voluntarily left Hungary because they were no longer free to gather news. Among the last to leave: Endre Marton, a Hungarian citizen who for ten years has been Budapest correspondent for Associated Press, and his wife, United Press Stringer Ilona Nyilas. The Martons, who were imprisoned in 1955 on trumped-up espionage charges, explained last week that they had no other choice but to flee their country. Other correspondents complained...
Black-Market Beat.

Other Western press representatives who stayed: Associated Press Staffer Endre Marton, a native Hungarian who had recently been released from prison by the Communists; Marlon's wife, U.P.

...shortage of hands, the A.P. sent George Boultwood from its Bonn bureau to Budapest to join its resident man, Endre Marton. Boultwood took along his 17-year-old son George Peter, who was soon filing his own byline stories from the Hungarian capital. The U.P.'s Anthony J. Cavendish scored a feat by covering the Polish rebellion in Warsaw, then flying into Hungary with a Polish plane carrying plasma. He landed 33 miles south of Budapest, hitchhiked to the suburbs, had to walk the last five miles. He sent out a fast-moving 2,000-word eyewitnesser...
Actors Johnson and Martin ably handle the second thrill sequence: the guiding to safety of a pilot who has been blinded by antiaircraft fire. Director Andrew Marton wisely keeps the wisecracks to a minimum, while the Ansco Color and a skillful interlarding of Defense Department film give moviegoers the illusion of knowing exactly what it was like to make a bombing run on Wongsang...
