ANNULMENT OF ELECTION IN HUNGARY SOUGHT
(Rec. 10.25 a.m.) BUDAPEST, Sept. 3.
Several of the Hungarian Opposition parties, including the Independence Party and the Citizens’ Democratic Party, will petition for the annulment of the election on August 30. They allege large-scale violations of the electoral law. The chief Coalition parties, the Communists, and the Social Democrats, are trying to get the entire Hungarian Independence Party disqualified on the ground that the majority of the signatures of the guarantors on the party’s lists were found to be forged. The police dispersed a crowd of angry members of the Smallholders’ Party who had gathered today to demonstrate against a group of Left Wing Smallholders, led by the Prime Minister, Mr Dinnyes, which wants to maintain the Coalition at all costs. A Smallholders’ deputation earlier demanded the resignation of Mr Dinnyes. . It is reported that Communist workers’ committees told meetings, of Social Democrat workers in many industrial undertakings that they must join the Communist Party or lose their jobs. Inter-party disputes, due to the anger aroused by the alleged election abuses, are growing in intensity.
