Red Troops
Will Remain
In Hungary
BUDAPEST, Hungary (/')—
With Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev as intent listener,
Janos Kadar declared(yester
day Soviet troops are staying
in Hungary.
The Hungarian Communist par
ty leader lashed out at the Unit
ed States in opening the party's
first Congress since the 1956 up
rising.
Kadar placed major blame for
the 1956 uprising on "internation
al imperialism headed by U.S. re
actionary quarters." He accused
the United States of spending
huge sums of money to agitate
against Hungary inside and out
side the United Nations.
All Soviet bloc nations favor
"simultaneous and mutual with
drawal of troops stationed in for
eign countries," Kadar said in an
obvious reference to U.S. troops
deployed abroad.
"But at the moment," he said,
"there are still open threats
against the people's democracies
and Soviet troops will remain
in Hungary as long as this is
required by the international
situation."
Western diplomatic quarters
had speculated that Khrushchev
might have come to the congress
to announce withdrawal of all or
part of the 50,000 to 80,000 Soviet
troops still garrisoned in Hungary.
The Soviet leader is expected to
address the congress today.
A troop withdrawal would help
along Khrushchev's current cam
paign of peaceful coexistence. It
also would prop up Kadar's con
tention that living standards- are
up, the people are contented and
his regime is stronger than ever.
Kadar said that even if Soviet
troops were withdrawn it would
not help any "reactionary forces"
still in Hungary. He said his re
gime ~is in a position to defend
itself against the "enemy within."
