Nato alerts on Soviet Middle East threat and atomic arms
In Paris the foreign ministers from the 15 Atlantic Pact nations warned that Soviet penetration of the Middle East jeopardizes Nato. They approved a military directive favoring tactical atomic firepower and urged Europe to develop its own modern weapons while the U.S. commits delivery of allied arms. The ministers pressed for a UN backed peaceful settlement of Middle East disputes and a swift reopening of Suez. They also denounced Soviet actions in Hungary and urged continued UN pressure for withdrawal.

Workers Balk At Hungarian Restrictions
Thousands of Budapest factory workers staged sit-down strikes and refused to produce as Soviet and Hungarian troops occupied plants. They demanded the release of two imprisoned labor leaders, while the Kadar regime threatened salary cuts. Rumors said reform could bring non Communist elements, with Szoltan Tildy named as a possible successor. The upheaval follows Hungary’s coal shortage and mass desertions from army and mines since October 23.
