Heavy Fog Delays
Refugee Departure
At Bremerhaven
BREMERHAVEN, Germany,
'Dec. 19 (/P)—A heavy fog delayed
departure today of the first ship
bound for the United States with
_Hungarian refugees.
The 1750 aboard are whiling
away the time mostly in song.
The transport Gen. Leroy El
tinge was held at the Bremer
haven docks after the sometimes
weeping, sometimes rollicking ref
ugees from Communist oppres
sion and their few possessions
had been loaded.
Two more ships are due to sail
in the so-called sealift, both be
fore the end of the year.
Fred Waring's great-grand
father, William G. Waring, was
one of four professors who corn
posed the University's first fac
ulty.
Sally , s wishes you the
the United States should be pre
pared to spend.
He added that he wants accu
rate information "as to the num
bers of Hungarian refugees the
United States should be prepared
to receive."
U.S. to Admit 21.500
The United States plans to ac
cept 21,500 refugees from Com
munist oppression in Hungary by
the 'end of the year. The number
in Austria may reach 175,000 by
that time.
Nixon's big blue and silver Air
Force plane put down just on
schedule after 24 hours of doubt
whether he would be able to land
in Austria at all,
Murky weather had led to spec
ulation he might have to land in
West Germany and take a train
to Vienna, but the fog lifted in
time.
Meets 72 Refugees
Right after his official greet
ings, he ran into a group of 72
Hungarian refugees. They were
waiting for a chartered commer
cial plane to take them to the
United States.
Through an interpreter he gave
the refugees Christmas greetings
from President Dwight D. Eisen
hower and told them:
"I'm sure you will get a hearty
weleope in the United States."
Plane Carries Insulin
Nixon's plane brought 1600
pounds of insulin and $450,000 in
checks from American volunteer
groups.
Nixon drove off from the air
port with U.S. Ambassador Llew
ellyn E. Thompson to receive a
detailed account of the situation
in Austria and Hungary.
Tomorrow, Friday and part of
Saturday he will meet Austrian
officials and visit refugee camps.
Details of the schedule were
still unsettled tonight, but it is
expected he will go to Traiskir
chen—one of the biggest camps,
set up in a former artillery school
school south of Vienna.
30,000 Said to Be Deported;
Coal Shortage Hits Hungary
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 (iP)—
A Hungarian refugee estimated
today that 30,000 of his country
pen have been deported to the
Soviet Union since the Hungar
ians arose against Russian domi
nation seven weeks ago.
Lajos Ruff gave the figure to
the Senate Internal Security sub
committee which is investigating
charges that the Russians have
resorted to mass deportations to
keep their hold on the satellite
state.
Ruff, who described himself as
an enemy of the Communist re
gime, said he based his estimate
on talks with, railway workers
who saw trainloads of Hungarian
patriots disappearing across the
border, and with deportees who
had managed to escape.
Officials of the puppet Hungar- i
ian government have denied the
charges of mass' deportations. I

Cyprus Rejects
Great Britain's
Self-rule Offer
NICOSIA, Cyprus, Dec. 19 (.P)
—Britain today offered Cyprus a
new constitution giving limited
self-government to the rebellious
east Mediterranean colony. But
the plan was rejected promptly by
both Turk and Greek Cypriot
leaders and by the Greek govern
ment in Athens.
The British offer appeared to
be opening a way for release
of exiled Archbishop Makarios.
leader of the Greek community
of Cyprus and of the movement
to unite the island with Greece.
The British plan, however, set
no date for Cyprus to exercise
self-determination under which
the Greek majority certainly
would vote to make it part of
Greece.
In Athens, Premier Constantine
Karamanlis' Cabinet in a state
ment said Britain's offer did not
comply with principles of the UN
Charter because it failed to pro
vide self-determination.
The statement also said the
offer was "neither democratic
nor liberal" because the new '
constitution would leave the
British governor of the colony
"w it h practically unlimited
powers."
The British plan raised the
long-range possibility of partion
ing the strategic island—Britain's
main Middle East base and
springboard for the recent invas
ion of Egypt—ln order to solve
the conflict between its peoples
of Greek and Turkish origin.

Conversations Outlawed
Regulations prohibited the first

1 BUDAPEST, Dec. 19 (iP)—Hun-
Igary's ,nal and power situation is
;so desperate that the Communist
! government today reduced work
in the steel and machine-building
industries to three days a week_
Thousands of idle factory work
ers were ordered to report for'
cleanup and reconstruction work
in Budapest to repair damage
done during the revolt.
The Soviet-backed government
of Premier Janos Kadar reluctant
ly ordered the cutback in heavy
industries which normally work
a six-day week, but there was no
way out.
Coal is not being produced and
the power is not there.
For several weeks thousands
of workers have been showing up
at their factories merely to sit
around because there is no power.
