REPORTS SABOTAGE, POLITICAL ARRESTS
SABOTAGE AT BUDAPEST RAILROAD STATION -- New York, Riportok es Hirek Magyaror-
szagrol, 30 Sep 50
News of the recent acts of sabotage in the West Station of Budapest has
spread all over the city. Since the end of July, the engines of six freight
trains have been found damaged, immediately before starting, resulting in the
disruption of the entire schedule. On the night of 19 August, a freight train
loaded with explosives leaving the West Station for Zahony was derailed in the
vicinity of the Arena Street underpass, No lives were lost, and there was no
explosion, but explosives strewn about from the peaceful looking train caused
a panic among the railroad maintenance workers.
On.27 August, unknown persons flooded the No 3 repair unit of the West
Station engineering division and also rendered four locomotives inoperable.
At the same time, during the first 2 weeks of the fall peak rail traffic com-
petition, only 60 percent of the West Station completed its plan, and it fi-
nally became necessary to enforce adherence to the schedule.
The latest act of sabotage o:;curred on 8 September and involved a train
which was allegedly carrying gift packages, but was loaded with canned meat
and fats for North Korea, As the train left the station, the last three cars
broke loose and one of them overturned. Five railroad shop foremen were
brought before the military court and 18 railroad workers were dismissed.
