Protest over Soviet interference in Hungary noted by State Dept
The United States delivered a strong protest note to the Soviet Union condemning recent events in Hungary and pressed for an investigation with Britain and the U.S. through the United Nations. In Vienna, Austria’s parliament rejected a Communist bid to probe Foreign Minister Karl Gruber and his talks with American officials. Budding Balkan talks in Belgrade saw Tito and Groza planning Danube revisions and a cultural accord, with military missions from Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia fueling rumors of a Soviet-linked Balkan federation. Hungary moves toward purges as Premier Dinnyes vows removal of anti-democratic elements from the army and reiterates friendship with the Soviet Union.
