REMENYI for Excellent Literary Work “For his magnificent contributions to Hungarian literature, for his excellent scholarly writings, and for his 25 years as a beloved professor of many students,’’ Dr. Joseph Reményi, Reserve professor of comparative literature, was honored by Elmhurst College in Illinois recently. A testimonial manuscript, hand-lettered in Gothic script, was presented to Dr. Remenyi by the chairman of Elmhurst’s department of Hungarian studies, in behalf of the college and of the American-Hungarian Studies Foundation. Also in recognition of his 25th anniversary on the Reserve faculty, the Hungarian scholar reigned as guest of honor at a banquet at the Magyar Home in Akron. The American-Hungarian Society in that city sponsored the occasion. Dr. W. Powell Jones, chairman of Reserve’s English department, also spoke. The Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association was represented by Coloman Revesz, National Secretary. Delegations from the Alliance and Canton branches came. Professor Reményi is well known in the literary world for his books and articles. He is a contributor to numerous American and European literary and scholarly periodicals, and author of novels, short stories, and poems in his native tongue, and translator of' American and English poetry. He is also a vice president of the American-Hungarian Studies Foundation. Dr. Remenyi has been guest speaker at various Verhovay programs. (Taken largely from the Reserve Tribune.) Independent farmers attacked by Hungarian communist regime Te Communist regime has launched new. attacks against independent farmers in Hungary, according to the U. S. Information Agency. >i overseas broadcasts arid press wireless dispatches, the Information Ag'ency quoted the Hungarian Communist party organ, Szabad Nép, as declaring that the uncollectivized Hungarian farmers have been “sabotaging the country’s economy” and that future offenders will be “punished in an exemplary manner.” Henceforth harsher methods must be used against the independent farmers, the Party newspaper said, because they do not fulfill their delivery quotas and have had considerable success in influencing ;members of cooperative farms to withdraw from the collectives. As typical of the opposition to the Communist farm program among the independent farmers, the Hungarian newspaper cited the case of (some 600 private farmers at Soltvadkert who, it charges, have neither fulfilled their quotas nor paid taxes for years, despite good harvests and good wine crops. The paffer said these farmers had escaped by using “cunning- methods,” such as dividing their property among relatives and neighbors so that officials “could not find anything to confiscate.” The defiance became so marked that according to the Hungarian paper, the Communist regime had to order the holding of local "elections” so as to “elect” new officials who would carry out the regime’s orders more effectively.
