1. The attached, evidently nee IP-59, was submitted to me for an opinion as
to its eligibility for publication as an ORE. I should: not bother you with
it at this juncture wer e it not for certian contignencies to be hereinafter
described.
2. If other things were equal, I should probably recommend to the branch
that with with certain specified revipions, kt would satisfy the modest demands
of a Current Situation In, the season being always open on the same. For
present purposes, however, I am assuming that this M$, in its exact present
form will become ORE -50 and be so circulated.
3. If so, as a typical reader of such estimates, 1 do not believe I should
be moved to anything more than a persistent suspicion of the reliability of
my document. Believing, as I should., that intelligence must be above all things
objective and impartial, I should, be mildly horrified at the bias seemingly,
disclosed in some of the language plus the frequent indulgence in broad and con-
venient generalization. "The National Assembly is only a rubber stamp"
(p.2); "Those non-Communists who hold high government posts are invariably
stooges of the Communists because of weakness, opportunism, or criminal records"

anyone oppsoing it is automaically an enemy of the state and subject to im-
prisonment" (p.4); "The resultant terror (of alleged police state methods) does
even more to keep the people in line than did the brutal use of force by the
Nazis" (pp.3-4); "Gabor Peter, a ruthless Soviet-trained Communist" (13.5);
"The cadre section of t e party has a network of agents throughout the country
whose fucntion is to keep card files on everyone" (p.7); "They (certain com-
munist organizations) separate children from their parents and train them
to inform against their families" (p.8); "It is not enough for the Communists
to rely on their possession of all the instruments of control;.tbey most elim-
inate all groups....A continuing battle against farmers whose desire to
hold their property is interpreted as active opposition. .1( p.11); tThe
Communists are working toward the elimination of all classes except the workers,
working peasants, and progressive intelligentsia....At present they are con-
centrating on squeezing out the kulaks, the bourgeoisie, and the aristocrats
either by cutting off their means of livelihood or by arresting them on some
semi-fictitious charge in order to put them into labor camas." (4. 12-13); nAs
a tool of the USSR, Hungary commits anti-US acts and carries ondenunciatory pro-
paganda to further the extension of Communism and Russian imperialism" (p.6 III)
4. Obviously, one could go on, but look one notices that it is but ten
minutes before quitting tire. My point is that if there is anything at all in

impartial toward the subject of their endeavors, that something should be
done about it lest we somagmtity become guilty of the same shortcomings we
attribute to the Russians of believing our own propaganda and delivering in-
telligence which may not entirely accord with the facts but is entirely har-
moniatus with the party line.
5. As to the report in question, I should not want to publish it in any form
untilsomeone qualified to do so had replaced the generalizatiiins with verifiable
facts and the diatribes against Soviet infamy with a cold analysis of Soviet-
Hungarian-Communist methods. INNIMINIMIIMIPPORMININIMINIMENkfile
