BELA KOVACS SAID TO BE DEAD
ARREST BY RUSSIANS IN FEBRUARY
LONDON, September 28. “According to private reports from Budapest, Bela Kovacs, the former secretary-general of the Hungarian Smallholders’ Party, died in a Soviet controlled military prison on September 18,” says the diplomatic correspondent of “The Times.”
“In February the Russians arrested him as an ‘anti-State plotter.’ This proved to be the beginning of the drive against the Nagy Government, When the Hungarians took over the prison after the treaty ratification Kovacs was missing. His wife took his food and clothing, to the prison regularly until September 18, when she was told that there was no further need to do so.”
