says director Robert Bean.
One of the visitors at the zoo
yesterday was Christoph Schultz,
on Denmark, a big game collector.
Bean took him to call on Honey.
“Honey came right to him,”
Bean said. “She raised her trunk
and trumpteded with obvious ex

Schultz had not seen Honey
since she was eight months old—
in 1934. At that time he was asso

Hamburg, Germany, and sold
to the Brookfield Zoo.

to negotiate with the government
and asked that the trial be ad
journed.
The five-man court, after a brief
.rnddle, refused the request and
ordered the trial to proceed.
The 56-year-old Primate, wear
ing the black robe of a simple
priest, appeared with six co-de
fendants in the central court room
where deputy Matyas Rakosi him- \
selm was tried on charges of plot-,
ting against the government 241
years ago.
The United States declared to
the world, meanwhile, it would
permit no Russian peace maneu- j
ver to disrupt the growing unity
of the non-communist western!
powers.
That was the interpretation di- j
plomatic officials in Washington
gave to secretary of state Dean
Acheson’s rejection of prime min
ister Stalin’s latest declaration of
! willingness to meet with Presi
dent Truman.
American diplomats abroad
i were expected to make the mos!
of this new and detailed statement
of Washington’s determination not
to make and direct deals with hte
Soviet Union at the possible ex
pense of other nations.
Throughout the western world
Stalin’s latest offer was received
with reservations. From behind
the iron curtain, however, came
: the expected approval of his state
ment.
Elsewhere the communists were
running into rough spots.
In Oslo, foreign minister Hal
vard Lange told parliament Nor
way’s own interests would be the
deciding factor on any step she
takes about joining a defense alli
ance.
The question will not be decid
ed, he said on “what other na
tions want us to do or not to do.”
Russia had askey Norway how
she felt about the North A lantic
security pact which would link the
defenses of the United States, Can
ada, Britain, France, Belgium,
Holland, Luxembourg and possi
bly other western European coun
tries.
The head of the opposition
Catholic party in communist-dom
inated Hungary sought haven out
side the iron curtain after dissolv
ing his party, despite what he
termed government threats of se
vere reprisals.
In Athens, an all-night filibus
ter by members of the opposition
parties prevented a vote on a mo
tion of confidence in the new coal
ition government of Premier The
mistokles Sophoulis. After more
than 14 hours debate, the parlia
ment adjourned until tonight.
At Rhodes, armistice talks be
tween Israel and Egypt were still
up in the air after 22 days of ne
gotiations. The chief snag con
tinues to be the boundary line in
the Negev Desert area in south

Friday, February 4, 1949
The Hungarian govern ment
closed in inexorably today on
Josef Cardinal Mindszentv, one of
its last real opponents. The worid
outside the iron curtain looked on
with fascination and the skepti
cism it reserves for those strange
trials which occur in communist
lands.
Today, the Cardinal stood up
before his five judges in Buda
pest and recanted a letter he
wrote before his arrest last Chris*- i
mas time in which he said that if
ever he admitted his guilt to gov
ernment charges against him it
should be put down to “weakness
of the flesh.”
Yesterday, he entered a plea of
‘‘partly guilty” to charges of trea
son, espionage and black market
dealings, with a specific reserva
tion that he did not plot to over
throw the government.
His letter, disavowing guilty
0
pleas beforehand, has been dinned ,
into Hungary by the voice of
America radio.

In Chicago, Samuel Cardinal
Stritch designated Sunday as
“Mindszenty Day.” He asked all
priests in his archdiocese to set
aside the day for prayer for the
Hungarian religious leader’s "lib
eration.”
The British foreign office pro
tested to Hungary against that
government’s refusal to admit of
ficial British observers to the
trial.
Even the demise of Hungary’s
opposition Catholic party was
linked to the Mindszenty case.
The party’s leader, Istovan Ba
rankovics, who fled his country,
said in Vienna yesterday the com
munists tried to get him to tie the
end of the party with the Minds
zenty treason trial .
The sudden death of the party
apparently ended the last vestige
of organized political opposition
in Hungary.
One of the Hungarian Primate’s
six co-defendants—Duke Paul Es
terhazy—pleaded guilty today to
the charges against him. The
duke, one of pre-war Hungary’s
richest men, was the fourth de
fendant to plead.
