Riots, Killings Spread Into Other Countries
IN BUDAPEST
BUDAPEST —(UP)— Budapest was relatively quiet early today for the first time in the three-day-old revolt in which the Hungarian army, the police and many secret police agents sided with the rebels.
Several thousand Hungarians have been killed or wounded in the attempt to overthrow the Communist regime, more than 200 of them killed in a single battle in front of the Hungarian parliament Thursday
Rioters showed strong Western sentiments during the revolt and gathered in front of the U.S. and British legations and shouted for American or United Nations help.
The gravest incident was in front of parliament where a Russian tank began shooting at a peaceful crowd of 2,000 demonstrators waving Hungarian flags as their only defense.
Damage to Budapest was so bad the city resembled the city of 1945 when World War II left some of it in ruins.
IN ALBANIA
VIENNA-(UP)-Large-scale anti-Russian demonstrations have taken place in a Soviet-controlled factory in the Russian satellite country of Albania, well-informed sources said today.
The sources said workers in a large Albanian chrome, copper and oil factory had organized a protest demonstration against "hunger salaries" in Albania.
The sources said "many" demonstrators were arrested by police but they had no further details on the demonstration.
Report of the anti-Russian demonstrations in Albania was the first from the tiny isolated satellite nation bordered by Yugoslavia Greece and the Adriatic.
IN WARSAW
WARSAW—(UP) -Polish press sources said today that some Russian soldiers have deserted and joined a counter-revolutionary government set up in northeastern Hungary.
The extent of the alleged Soviet army defections was not known.
but Polish press sources in contact with Hungary said "Soviet troops" have gone over to the rebels in the area near the Czechoslovakian border. There was no official confirmation of the reports which have not yet been published or broadcast in Poland.
The Polish reports followed a report reaching Washington Thursday that some Soviet tanks and Hungarian troops joined rebel Hungarians in the Budapest fighting. Similar reports came from travelers reaching Austria from Hungary.
IN BERLIN
BERLIN—(UP)—A West Berlin intelligence organization said today East German Communists have alerted 250,000 troops and police in fear of a Hungarian-type revolt.
The anti-Communist "fighting group against inhumanity" said the Reds have alerted their 100,000-man people's army and border police as well as security and territorial police.
At the same time, the Communists organized special classes to teach their militia how to put down revolts.
All soldiers except those with special passes were confined to their barracks. They were allowed to leave their quarters only in armed groups, the West Berlin organization said.
The emergency measure disclosed a deep fear in the Soviet zone that the Polish and Hungarian defiance of the Soviet Union might spread to East Germany.
