Much of the credit for Hungary's success belongs to Party Boss János Kádár, 65, who came to power when Soviet troops and tanks crushed the abortive freedom fighters' uprising of 1956. Shy and self-effacing, Kádár has gradually eased the party's absolute control of society. In 1968 he introduced the New Economic Mechanism, the blueprint for Hungary's unique approach to a Marxist-Leninist economy. Hungary has carried out many of the reforms for which Czechoslovakia was branded a heretic by Moscow...
...more than three decades. The Hungarian government has insisted on its return, while the U.S. has maintained that delivery would have to await improving relations between the two countries. Two months ago, the Carter Administration decided that the time had come. The Communist regime of Party Chief János Kádár has paid its debts, exchanged diplomatic representatives with the U.S. and slightly liberalized its authoritarian rule.

On the brink of next month's talks on the Helsinki accord, Hungary is eager to brush up its image and counteract complaints about church restrictions from both Hungarian and U.S. Christians. In fact, Hungary probably has the most liberal church policy among Warsaw Pact countries. Sunday schools and youth retreats are permitted. Bibles, though expensive, are available. Even so, open evangelism and freedom of church publication in the Western sense are unknown. Evangelical Christians...
...church is full of thieves, mercenaries and wolves," he said in a thin, clear voice. "During the past 20 years, the Vatican has become the friend of our enemies. Only recently, [János] Kádár, who killed many faithful Christians in Hungary, was received at the Vatican. Excommunications of heretics. Communists, Freemasons and the Orthodox have been lifted...
