RESISTANCE GROUP ATTACKS USSR STORE -- Munich, Hungaria, 8 Sep 50
It is reported by a reliable source, that on 2 August, a Hungarian re-
sistance group of 15 attacked a Soviet military store in the vicinity of
Villany, killed the five members of the USSR guard, includin;., a sergeant,
and took 150 automatic pistols and rifles and large quantities of ammuni-
tion and food rations. The Soviet press has made no mention of the attack.
Well-informed and reliable diplomatic sources report that Soviet secret
police arrested the entire supply complements of three Soviet companies when
it was learned that they had sold large quantities of weapons and ammunition
to a Hungarian anti-Communist movement.
According to reports, the arrests occurred during the past 2 weeks. Many
USSR officers and noncommissioned officers have committed suicide to avoid
arrest.
The Soviet soldiers are charged with selling to the Hungarian under-
ground 350 automatic pistols with 10,000 clips of ammunition, 200 rifles
with 1,400 magazines, 1,400 hand grenades, and three machine guns with
10,000 clips of ammunition.
The facts were discovered by the Hungarian political police who arrested
certain persons found to have USSR weapons and ammunition in their possession.
The companies of the arrested. supply personnel are reportedly stationed
in the Mecsek Mountains, near Villany and Mohacs. Two hundred P'ungarian citi-
zens have been arrested in connection with the sale and concealment of the
weapons.

QUASH DISTURBANCES AT HATVAN MUNITION WORKS --- Paris, Szabad Vilag, 10 Aug 50
A USSR munitions factory disguised under the name of Kozetfeltaro State
Enterprise is in operation near Hatvan, Disturbances among the several th:u-
sand workers o. the plant are a daily occurrence, and order is maintained only
through terrorism practiced by the State Security Authority.
Toward the end of July, more than 30 workers charged with methodically
lowering morale and offering particularly bad examples in their production
were deported to the USSR.
On the day they were taken away, two munition stores exploded.
SABOTAGE IN OBUDA TEXTILE FACTORY -- Paris, Szabad Vilar, 10 Aug 50
In the first week of July, water taps were left running in the women's
rooms of the Goldberger textile dyeing and finishing shop at Obuda. The water
soaked through the ceiling and ruined several million forints worth of commodi-
ties stored in racks on the ground floor.
During the same week, little rivets were mysteriously placed in the ma-
chinery of the cylindrical press with the result that finished material was
torn along its entire length. Also, the spoilage in this factory is twice
that of last year.

lance.
