Hungary Walks Out Of U.N.
(Compiled from United Press)
The Assembly was debating a resolution sponsored by the United States and other countries which would condemn Russia for its brutal suppression of the Hungarian revolt and call on the Soviet Union to get its troops out of Hungary.
(Puppet from Unita Press)
Puppet Hungary walked out of the United Nations Assembly today. It said it would stay out until the Hungarian question is taken off the agenda.
In Hungary itself, hundreds of Russian tank leaked Budapest in a ring of steel. The entire nation lay paralyzed in the grip of one of the most complete strikes in history.
Mr. Horvath, Hungarian foreign minister, told the Assembly its "continued efforts to intervene in the internal affairs" of his country was "incompatible with the sovereignty" of Hungary.
The Russian tanks and armored cars sealed off the huge iron and steel plant on Budapest's Csepel Island. Patriot pickets outside the plants served notice they would fight any attempt by the Russians or police to penetrate into the factories.
The government-controlled Budapest Radio indicated clearly the strike was the worst to date in Hungary.
The radio admitted.
1. Rail transport was at a standstill.
2. The postal service was paralyzed.
3. Factories were idle "because the workers are afraid of counter-revolutionary elements on strike."

Trimming Tree Was Hard But Christmas Spirit Wins Out
Ever try to juggle fragile Christmas tree ornaments?
Four building and grounds workmen tried it Monday afternoon and found it was quite a job.
KUGroupWill Go National
The Kansas Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, a new organization on the campus, will be initiated as a chapter into the national institute Dec. 28 in Philadelphia.
Dr. L. R. Lind, professor of Latin and Greek, will represent the chapter at Philadelphia. He will also participate in the program of the American Philological Assn.
Officers of the new Kansas society are Thor E. Bogren, Jr., Scranton senior, president; Dr. James E. Seaver, associate professor of history, vice-president, and Dr. John H. Patton, professor of religion, secretary-treasurer.
The project was to place approximately 250 gold and bronze colored balls on the giant Christmas tree in the rotunda of Strong Hall.
The problem arose when they tried to place the balls on the tree while it was turning as the 24-foot-tall tree revolves at a rate of about one revolution per minute.
First the balls were tied together in strings of six or eight with thin, transparent cord.
After two hours of drops and near drops, the job was completed. The once littered floor was swept, and the decorators departed, leaving the Christmas tree to reflect the season's spirit.
Then the ornaments were handed to a man on a scaffold, which had been assembled to enable the workers to reach the upper part of the tree, and he hung the balls on the tree.
In the later days of the Roman republic and under the empire a legionary or soldier served from age 18 to 45.
