U.S. Seeks Debate On Hungary
-rteuier—vopj/ngni; NEW YORK, September 19. The United States today revived charges of Soviet oppression in Hungary with a lastminute request for a General Assembly debate on the outcome of the 1956 Hungary uprising.
The "Question of Hungary" was inscribed op the Assembly’s agenda as “an important and urgent item," bringing the total of agenda items to a record 95. Mr Adlai Stevenson, the chief United States delegate, said in an accompanying Memorandum that the Governments of the Soviet Union and of Hungary had persistently refused Jo abide by General Assembly resolutions designed to ameliorate the plight of the Hungarian people since they revolted in 1956. The situation there was
"continuing and most serious." It was "substantially unchanged" since last year when the Assembly postponed debate on the subject because of pressure of work. "Free elections have not been held,” the Memorandum added. “Large number* of Soviet troops remain in Hungary. A general amnes,y has not been granted. “No United Nation* representation has yet been allowed to enter the country to seek compliance with United Nations resolutions a* requested by the United Nations General Assembly.”
