CPYRGHT Why Did He Believe Them?
The Russians apparently., double-
crossed both Yugoslavia and former
Hungarian- Premier Imre Nagy after
Nagy left his refuge in the Yugoslav
embassy in Budapest with guarantees
of safe conduct.
Nagy and., his' C o m p a o n's were
seized by Soviet secret police and hauled
away, Yugoslavia charges. Where the
deposed premier is now, no one except
the cdnspirators can say. The puppet
Hungarian government explains that he
suddenly decided to move to Romania
but his friends don't believe that. They
say that if he were going to leave Iun-
gary he~woizld have gone to Yugoslavia.
A reasonable conjecture is that Nagy
now it In spme secret police cell, under-
going brainwashing to prepare him for
a "confession" that the Hungarian re-
volt against Communism was actually
plot cookedup jafgVeen,him and Allen
1Tu"es of the American Central Intel-
ligence Agency.
.. die on y~thixig that puzzles us about
this entire episode is why Nagyh~vith
his experience WJ the, Russians, would
ever have be e ed that he'epu14 trust
their word.
