...kind of organization, the "workers' councils." They were modeled on Communist Tito's workers' guilds. Their leaders were untrained in rebellion and unskilled in maneuver, but their strength was that they could genuinely claim to speak for the people. Ever since the Russians put Puppet Janos Kadar on the throne, he has sought by persuasion, threat and promise to undermine the workers' councils. He understood clearly, as did they, that he must dominate them, or be himself destroyed. Last week the test began in earnest...
...eleven years no delegate has been so roundly denounced or so contemptuously pointed at as Imre Horvath, Foreign Minister in Hungary's puppet Kadar government.

When Hammarskjold replied that he was prepared to arrive in Budapest on Dec. 16, Horvath equably relayed this information to his government...

At the expense of the Calgary Herald, Mike Kadar, 47, an immigrant from Hungary 28 years ago, sought to talk, brother to brother, to none other than Janos Kadar, No. 1 stooge of the Soviet puppet regime in Hungary. He had small hopes of shoring up younger brother Janos' spine, but other Hungarian-Canadians had besought Mike Kadar to try to intercede in behalf of their valiant relatives still writhing under Russian guns in Hungary (see FOREIGN NEWS). After a futile 24-hour vigil near...
