House Says Mili
tary Unification
Must Work
WASHINGTON, (JP) — House
members served blunt notice on
the bitterly quarreling armed
services Saturday that military
unification must be made to work.
Expressions from key members
of the armed services committee
indicated clearly that the navy’s
sharp criticism of Pentagon high
strategy has convinced them that
blame for flaming military differ
ences rests in administration of
the law rather than in the law it
self.
Rep. Kilday (D.-Tex.) said that
o nthat point he shares the opinion
of G. Louis Denfeld, chief of na
val operations.
Denfeld summed up the navy’s
case against defense policy mak-1
ers on Thursday as a failure of the
clashing service to coordinate
their efforts—not failure of the
intent of the law.
“I think it all means simply that
the unification law needs to be
administered in accordance with
its letter and spirit,” Kilday told
a reporter.
That also was the opinion of
Rep. Price <D.-I11).
The committee took a breather
over the week-end before hearing
the air force and the army side of
the controvrsy.
This week Johnson, secretary of
air Symington, Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower and the joint chiefs of
staff will get an opportunity to
answer navy charges that the
cards are stacked against naval
sea and air power in the Pentagon.
Laszlo Rajk,
Hungarian Red,
Dies On Gallows
BUDAPEST, (P)—Laszlo Rajk,
40, Hungary’s former No. 2 com
munist, died on the gallows Satur
day for treason.
A foreign ministry spokesman,
announcing Rajk’s death, said two
other men sentenced with the for
mer foreign minister also were
hanged. All three had confessed
abjectly before a five-judge Peo
ples’ court that they plotted to
overthrow Hungary’s communist
regime with American help and
substitute for it a government
which would knuckle under to
Premier Marshal Tito of Yugo
slavia.
Those hanged with Rajk, the
foreign ministry spokesman said,
were Dr. Tibor Szoenyi, 46, direc
tor of the Cadre System of the
Hungarian party, and as such the
supervisor of the party’s rank
and-file; and Andras Szalai, 32,
Szoenyi’s deputy.
Their trial ended Sept. 24. The
death sentences were confirmed
only Friday by the court of ap
peals. The same court last July
confirmed the sentence of life im
prisonment imposed upon Josef
Cardinal Mindszenty on treason
charges.
Mrs. Kirk Jackson and daughter
Patricia left yesterday with Pan
American for a few weeks vaca
tion in the States wheel* she will
see her new twin granddaughters
and Patricia will get acquainted
with her maternal grandmother
and paternal grandfather. They
plan to return in December.
