For the Record

Two months ago the Soviet Union tested world opinion by announcing that six- Hungarian students had been hanged for participating in the November revolt and twelve sentenced to long terms. Upon establishing that there was no staying power in the West’s revulsion, the Kremlin has ordered the same fate for another 1,000 Hungarians now being tried secretly in Budapest. . . . The Communist-led British Mine Workers union has managed to keep 3,000 Hungarian refugee miners out of the pits. Seven, in discouragement, returned to Hungary. One has been shot, two hanged; the fate of the other four is not known.

Cause and effect? In 1956, Governor Leader of Pennsylvania refused appeals of local law officers for help in keeping the peace in Sharon Valley where a large Westinghouse plant was strikebound. Leader’s administration also ruled in favor of the strikers in an unemployment compensation matter. Westinghouse has just announced that its new 2,000-man plant will be built in Indiana (which last year adopted a right-to-work law). … The American Federation of Teachers, at its convention in Milwaukee, booed a message from the President. The teachers were annoyed, said their leaders, at Mr. Eisenhower’s “spineless surrender” on the issue of a school construction program.
