Budapest, July 2. '•My life is no longer safe. You are giving the Russians a chance to arrest me,” said the leader of the Freedom Party, Sulyok. as he picked up a briet case and left the House of Parliament, followed by the majority of his party. Uproar had broken out when he earlier began an attack on.the Government’s three-year economic plan, saying "You want a regime that is built up on totalitarian economics and a State system which is based on slavery. You want to take such power as Is adequate to destroy all individual freedom.” The Communist leader. Joseph Ravai, shouted: “So you say that in Soviet Russia there is slavery.” Communists and Social Democrats jumped to their feet, shaking their fists and shouting "Traitor! You are attacking Russia.” Pandemonium reigned before the Speaker could restore order.
