No doubt certain political groups and circles have a vested interest in effacing the memory of October 1956. * Prof. Lamont of Rutgers University writes that when he desired to add a few Hungarian novels to a course of fiction he is teaching, he discovered that only a few have been translated into English. In addition, all these books are out of print, even in the large university libraries one can find only some of them. He concludes: „All this made me very sad at heart. I realized that had we Americans been able to read Hungarian fiction and had gotten to know the men and women characters who lived in its many great novels, we might have understood the problems of this country much sooner and have been able to do much more to help it in its gallant fight for freedom.“ * Wc print the declaration of the Hungarian writers, in which they take side with the Hungarian revolution and condemn Soviet intervention. The declaration was signed on December 28, 1956, by 237 members of the Association of Writers; 8 voted against it and 5 abstained. During January, the Association of Writers was dissolved by the puppet government who also had arrested some of the leading writers. * On January 7, 1957, the Hungarian Revolutionary Council was formed by some exiled leaders of the Revolution. We publish their declaration as well as the names of the members of the Council. The WASHINGTON STAR (February 17, 1957) reports on the Hungarian scientists who seek refuge in the U. S. „This country is getting a good deal of the cream of Hungary’s brains . . . Hungary always has been a world leader in scientific research ... The National Academy of Sciences has established a screening group (in Camp Kilmer) to determine the qualifications and find places for all the refugees who have at least college degrees. Many have doctorates from Hungarian universities which long have been recognized as among the best in the world. Already, says Dr. Wallace W. Atwood, head of the academy’s international relations section, more than 500 highly qualified individuals have been found.“ * „Atomic Energy Commissioner John von Neumann“, writes THE WASHINGTON POST, February 9, 1957, „Hungarian-born human brain behind the electronic brains that made possible the atom bomb, died of cancer yesterday ...“ NEWSWEEK devoted an article to him entitled, „Passing of a Genius“. It says: „The men who have the technical responsibility of guiding the world safely into the era of nuclear forces, complex computers, and incredibly entangled human organizations, lost their acknowledged leader. Dr. John von Neumann, a mathematician whose grasp of both the profound and the practical was virtually unmatched in this generation died of cancer... Years before others, he foresaw the importance that computers would have for H-Bomb design, for meteorology and for every branch of science — and proceeded to design them.“ Printed in Austria MAGYAR HANGLEMEZEK kiadásában közreműködni kívánó kórusok zenekarok vezetői és a szabad világban élő magyar művészek Írjanak a következő cimre: SOUND NEWS PRODUCTIONS 59, Bryanston St. Marble Arch, LONDON, W. 1, ENGLAND Hírünk a Világban Editor: Csicsery-Rónay I., Szerkesztő Washington, 13, D.
