members of the local council, Stakt ar.o?,rii tes, and representatives of rras-
organizations must participate in the directorate. The nuclei of the ne-,a

it is here that the Communist party ideal is most firmly entrenched.

airfields of the country (Harmashatar de , Dekescsaba, Pecs, ,ongyos,
Banreve, A lgyo) .

Security Measures For The Hung ri.an Military Aviation
The 17H has not succeeded in aceuirinn control over Hungarian militprv;
aviation, even though it has been making efforts for this purpose Vice be
beginning of 19"0. The frilure of tha RT`i in this respect is attributed by
the Sungari an pilots to the intervention of the Russian pilot trainers.
However, to forestall escape, ;r'iers have been issued that troin:ingg
planes may carry fuel only in a quantity which is sufficient for the given
task. The quantity of fuel must not oe sufficient for reachinythe southern
or western border (witrlin 00 kilsmets.r. The quantity of fuel is checked
