I'm networkers attention today we

celebrate the birthday of the revolution

in the hundredth anniversary of the

communist manifesto of combat Carl Marx

today we salute the Union of Soviet

Socialist Republics which together with

her neighbors is the greatest works for

peace that the world has never known

poor land is with us Czechoslovakia is

with us Germany is with us china is with

us all over the world communism is under

arch the people rags from their sleep

the idea world revolution is no longer a

mere dream the Soviet Union will triumph

and peace as it has triumphed in war we

are the strongest nation in the world we

are the friendliest nation in the world

Mawlana to the Republic and to

Herschel's tiny divider of the Republic

that's enough challenge element well

that's the way the people in the Soviet

Union see the world today but then the

Russian people aren't allowed to read

books like as we see Russia written by

25 members of our own Club we here in

the overseas press club are well

informed on what's going on behind the

Iron Curtain because many of our own

members have found ways to outwit the

Communist sensors and now thanks to our

guest of honor Tom Kelly who is Justin

back from Hungary there's a new chapter

for the book treason in Budapest 1949

yes I covered the so called treason

trial of Cartann manzetti the one behind

the scenes the one conducted by the

crowd from the Kremlin and that's where

my chapter really begins in Moscow it's

a nice sunny morning in November 1948

everything is quiet at the Kremlin I'm

being transferred to budapest by way of

Paris

it's not so easy to get into Budapest

these days but I have a visa that's

still good for hungry so I'm having my

last bath in Moscow and enjoy Judith

need that tray on the center table hand

me a towel

thanks pal service in this hotel is

getting better all the time

good morning mr. Paul Jenkins of the

Toronto Star now I'll pause my roommate

he's not here you will come with us mr.

Jenkins look here my name is Kelly you

can check it on my passport yes and

please get dressed at once okay pal have

it your way I'll be right with you ah

mr. Kelly I apologies someone has been

an unfortunate for Steve but what about

Jenkins he's a nice guy mr. Jenkins is

returning home tomorrow we found it

advisable to revoke his visa I guess

maybe he's homesick I see you're leaving

for Paris uh-huh little vacation you

know wine women song but the morning mr.

Kelly and have a nice time Oh what just

one thing comes out yeah you promised to

make some inquiries for me about George

Polk oh he was covering the guerrilla

fighting between the Communists no royal

list in Greece found dead last May you

said you try and get a final report for

me on it oh yes darling incident a most

regrettable accident accident with a

bullet in his head in his hands and feet

tied together with strips of wire i'm

sorry mr. Kelly but the latest report

from our embassy says accident thank you

good morning Thomas on

accident I didn't like the sound of that

I was doing the same kind of job I might

wind up in Budapest just as george polk

did in Greece but the story look so hot

I figured it was worth the risk so I

made my plans accordingly with the Paris

office sure I went through all the

motions of a visiting fireman having a

wonderful time in gay Paree just in case

anybody was watching but after a few

days I stopped paying firemen and I set

out for Budapest

Budapest where east meets west the Blue

Danube is something more than a loss by

Johann Strauss the moment it looked as

if nothing had happened if everything

were just the same as it had been when I

was here 10 years ago but everything

wasn't the same the war had left its

mark on Budapest to the scars still

showed in a lot of places of course it

was still a city of a lot of try and a

lot of tradition the people held their

heads high most of the time but when

they passed 60 and brass a street they

managed to look the other way here was a

scar that nobody could hide this was the

house of terror a house of torture

that's masters were Russia yes a lot of

things had changed in Budapest

everything seemed as light and gay as

the whipped cream on the coffee

especially in the cafe joy yes a lot of

things were just as they were when I was

here 10 years ago

I'm Thomas have some coffee same old

Santa always in character I'm gonna wait

10 years and you act as if it's been 10

minutes 10 minutes 10 years what's the

difference just a few more ejection

slips that's up same old Amish welcome

mr. Kelly and if I might make a

suggestion dr. I'd like to say that your

second act is you may not make a

suggestion the doctor would only listen

to me could be a first-rate player i'd

like more enough that of a second-rate

physician and nobody wants around well

mr. Kelly for your dinner good as of

course you always did like that goulash

well confidentially I flew all from

paris just to get the recipe for the

goulash oh yes you always get from that

recipe well who knows perhaps there's

time can be arranged tell me something

Santa suggests my imagination or all the

Russians sitting on one side of the room

in just the Hungarians on the other yes

my fine that's the way it is input of us

today I see and just where do you said

dr. desti is the man in the middle I

simply believe in the art of survival

janish are going to make a report of

this to the secret police till dr. dash

tick I would be careful about the honest

I don't think you can be trusted is

there anyone in Budapest today who can

be trusted no one except me

you ought to be ashamed of yourself

sander wasting your time on trash like

this even if you don't believe in

anything anymore you ought to do better

by your characters they don't stand for

anything it's just an empty play about

any people i know it is a perfect

reflection of me sit down Stephanie

Kelly doesn't approve of me either miss

Stephanie varna mr. Thomas Kelly how do

you do hello Kelly we used to sing a

song about a man named Kelly in France

during the war has anybody here seen

Kelly Kelly with the green next tab well

I'm not the guy but I do have a

beautiful green tie I'll wear it for you

next time what brings you to Budapest

mr. Kevin wanna find out how the

Russians are taking over Budapest if

they're doing they're being quite legal

about it a couple of years ago the

commoners polled only twenty-one percent

of the vote now they're the major party

control the government newspapers in the

schools how come the twenty one percent

was the last free election some changes

were inevitable and not all of them are

bad some people said the same thing

under Hitler speaking of her that he's

not a Nazi song messing

we still have a few left

if you must play german music letter to

least feed German that Nazi music stayed

dead with the Nazis who's the colonel

it's and a manly caught the liaison

between the Russian army who liberated

us in the her garyun police who pretend

to us how nicely you predict the sea of

course that many covers in love with

buddha person a russian in love with

Budapest is still

please forgive me mr. Kelly I only

dropped in to return Sanders play I

should hope to see you again while you

were here good evening sander and a

lovely fresh healthy now let's see where

were we politically oh yes I was just

gonna ask her what about the church that

is Cardinal men's NT have a chance this

name is not to be thrown around in

public it excuse me please have an

urgent appointment nevar

oh yeah yes sir this headline says death

to the Trib that isn't the way everybody

feels is it I wouldn't know about that

said I never mix up in politics it might

ask Miss Mona sometime she's a music

teacher at one of the schools so they

say well that's not only a good

suggestion but it's a good excuse to see

her you have perhaps that's when compete

with the Russian colonel

three whole day and everyone in year you

don't look a minute older

how long must we go on this way hiding

in the dark afraid to be seen together

in public wonder doesn't anything work

out in time I have a nun excellent

authority in the little while no one in

the Kremlin will care of a Russian

officer knives nigerian music teacher

I'm sure if he saw you Stalin himself

would insist upon kissing the bride

darling you're wonderful who is it

please tell me with the green nectar an

American newspaper reading room how did

you know where I live who told you a

local Patriots but don't hold that

against it just what is it you want here

well tell Monica look I guess I didn't

go about this in the right way the

report has to begin somewhere i would

suggest mr. Kelly if you wish official

information that you go through official

channels oh I will but I like to work

from the outside of the safe early

example well miss vana might be able to

tell me just where cardinal mins and he

figures and all this fuss about the

schools I have nothing to say you wish

to know something about the card know

why did you speak with a man himself he

is the prisoner thanks girl that's a

very good idea well good night miss

Bonner dental Moloch oh and thanks oh I

I seem to be out of matches there are

some on the piano thanks

French Legion of Honor

Eli's kennel no miss Varna was a member

of French underground during the war

one moment to Kelly to me this matter

seems to be purely domestic issue why

should it concern you and your American

newspapers or are you Catholic no I'm

not about that you remember channel the

Allies signed a peace treaty with hungry

at the end of the war Russia was one of

the Allies well that treaty guarantees a

lot of things including a little item

called personal liberty and believe me

Ken these are days when Liberty is

everybody's business huh so no I'll be

seeing you

Americans are impossible this this

question about Mazzetti perhaps I should

have explained that minsan he is not a

native state he must submit must be

eliminated calibre learn it is the same

here as in the Soviet Union there can

only be one party in one state in the

churches

what are these things matter to you and

me I think you're a communist I'm not

never will be we belong to each other

politics can't change that hey Alex I

want so much to believe that but right

now I feel a she sherlyn try Kenny said

liberty is everybody's be delivered is

just a word a dangerous work

it wasn't easy to find the card the

state had taken over his school he

wasn't in Budapest and he wasn't in esta

Gong three days later I was right back

where I started in the cafe George hello

colonel care to join me for lunch no mr.

Kelly I thought you really meant the

invitation I would be delighted to

accept well of course I'm mad thank you

very much if you don't mind should we

sit over there that suits me

he will please understand I have no

prejudice against American oh that's all

right i have no prejudice against

russians in many respects we are so much

alike and so different to tell me how

did you make out with your cardinal

cantilever young men are half as smart

as I think they are you know down well I

never even got to see him and if you had

just how would it have helped your story

I don't know you see channel I could

write the story from A to Z without

setting foot out of this carefully

another whole routine I watched it in

Russia Poland Czechoslovakia but up

until now I always came in on my last

act of the show this time for once in my

life I mean on the beginning I want to

see how you do it make the fix I mean

the frame-up will excuse me mr. Kelly

and a tip as you call it even matter and

simulations have resulted in a revoked

visa

and I thought was going to be the

beginning of a beautiful friendship so

did I

what would it be today I'm let soufflé

who surprised me anything but beef

stroganoff re and please serve it over

there hello my apologies for barging in

on you the other evening I'm very glad

you did thanks but Deb how do you figure

that you said something about liberty

being everybody's business you're right

is there some way I can help maybe I

need the answer to a lot of questions

one what about those petitions against

the Cardinal none in our school yet but

others have had government jobs dollar

arm stuff koi does anyone ever had much

trouble with the Cardinal before

certainly not he's very popular with the

people and why hadn't the people

protested what about the underground

there is no underground the Russians

take care of that every day hundreds of

people were arrested you've never heard

of again every day hundreds try to flee

across the board of Austria as they can

but surely someone must stand with the

Cardinal yes of course but some

Hungarians are like me they're not

Catholic they don't want to get involved

one way or another I don't believe that

about you hey mr. to you mr. Kelly would

lift a test yella yes tell me just what

would you say the Russians are angling

for in Budapest these days we can tell

sir no at this in Vienna we could stand

another war if we had to heaven save us

from another liberation

do you know what that means I think so

mr. Kelly if I could get hold of the

decent car how would you like to go for

a drive in the country some afternoon

soon well now you're talking but if that

tip isn't on the level we may be

followed you may be taking a big chance

I know but it's everybody's business now

isn't it try to ride all right this was

the hungry I never knew before no cafes

no boulevards practically no roads and

in no time at all we will completely

lost if it hadn't been for a certain

former as dog we would never have found

the Muslim people as a matter of fact it

was a carnival found us

he looked just like any ordinary form

when I saw his ring I know he was the

man I was looking for of course I wasn't

too sure how it worked out he didn't

know me he didn't know Steve but the dog

seemed to like us my guest that counted

for a lot so we went for the Cardinal

and while they met his mother in the

vineyard she insisted that we sit down

with suddenly I felt right at home I

almost forgot about the questions I

wanted to ask almost but not quite

your eminence are you dressed like this

because you're an exam no well I'm here

at the farm i'm a former it has to go me

or the Cardinal but I was much happier

when you were just a village priest yes

I too was much happier as a village

priest but I have every reason to

believe that when the time is right the

government will regard me only as the

Cardinal primate of hungry and be quite

fair pletely accordingly do you mean a

raft they would not dare you can tell

what these men will dare the move

against the schools is the final move

against the church we had some 5,000

schools in Hungary 3,000 of them were

Catholic as long as I am responsible in

any degree for these schools we shall

teach their the Gospel according to

Jesus Christ not according to Karl Marx

a coma sauce tally on this point I will

not G it but it's a no chance for some

compromise some agreement what chance is

there of agreement between Christ's of

Antichrist do not misunderstand me mr.

Kelly I do not condemn our Russian

neighbors this race or the people but I

do condemn the police state to which

they are enslaved we in Hungary will

also be enslaved if we submit two men

who owe their allegiance to the Kremlin

one must take a stand somewhere one must

draw a line past which one will not

retreat

for myself I have taken that's there I

have drawn that line I will not

surrender our schools to the domination

of the state you don't have a chance

here isn't there some way you could get

out of the country and lead this fight

from exile I will not run away now good

men on eat it here next move is up to

the Soviets and when will that come who

can tell might come today or a year from

today sky can target without warning

like this store that's moving along now

it is methyl it will pass yes perhaps it

will past shadow will still be upon us

when the real storm breaks mr. Kelly the

enemy will not appear among us as an

enemy no he will appear as one who

wishes to save us from disaster he will

have the heroes part I will be the

villain of the piece is always that way

that which is evil must be made to

appear good that which is good must be

made to appear evil so it was with

Hitler when he moved in the Poland so it

is now with stallion when he moves into

angry how do you feel about all this

don't live worried for my son I'm

worried for Holden to me sometimes when

a storm is in the making it's a relief

to say let it come let it come fast hot

good night time I won't say thanks I

wouldn't know how to begin yeah the

Cardinal is made me feel like a

Hungarian again good night why are you

police beat me to us she's right here in

this building never mind aren't you

gonna do anything about it there's

nothing I can do is not my department

I may not be able to protect you protect

please believe me you must either

conform to things as they are in

Budapest r you must leave now at once

I'm the state now is the time when good

men are needed here and women too may I

go now Alex you patriotic little fool

I will see you as soon as it is

practical

I'm sure these days you Russians are

highly practice

yeah hold on the Iron Curtain I was

feeling pretty good about until one

afternoon a few days later I got a

summons to drop in on Carol Mel meter

wasn't sure what was on the fire until I

stepped inside and a familiar voice said

ah mr. Kelly mr. Vela so nice to see you

again must you enjoyed your vacation

loved it I live for wine women and song

they have come to our attention mr.

Kelly certain articles recently

appearing in the American newspapers

which are well vaguely reminiscent of

your style Oh interesting is my byline

on no oh well then they can't be right

my contract calls for my name to appear

on every article i right oh I see and

the office is very careful not to

violate the contract of course that's

all thank you not at all tell me mr.

Vela if any statement you would care to

make only general situation in the

hungry at the prison time I've only a

visitor here besides I'd make it a point

never to interfere in the affairs of us

of our friendly neighbor things today

huh and thank you

so I canceled with visa comrade

commissar Oh voters the utmost witnessed

by your staff and all matters affecting

public security now feral bees arrange

the conference with Conrad rakoshi vice

premier the Hungarian government Colonel

Timmer head of the regular police

Gabriel Peter head of the secret police

I need hardly remind you gentlemen that

the pullet Bureau in Moscow is not

interested in explanations it deals only

with results and the results in the case

of Joseph in tempe have been negligible

someone has failed miserably cometic

Russia as vice premier the Hungarian

government for all practical purposes

you are hungry how do you analyze the

situation what else could we do we took

over the schools but most of the

teachers in their hearts are still loyal

to Vincent II we have given him every

opportunity to escape to leave the

country he refuses to leave I assure you

comrade commissar you will not find it

easy to intimidate this man how

distressing you do not understand

comrade commissar codner was still very

popular with the people side of our

attacks upon him in the newspapers

perhaps come read you will remember he

was a leader in the anti-nazi resistance

and if heart is a peasant of the peasant

you posed our program for land

redistribution yes only because it

didn't have enough to have a farmer we

proceed against him now without some

real evidence it might prove to be

disastrous if we do not proceed against

in now comrade colonel it will also

prove to be disastrous let us be

realistic to you see that this Cardinal

is now on the house arrest in the

cathedral at estimate I ask you in all

logic how much longer do you Hungarian

stinky

continue to play out this little farce

which you fall protective custody either

the man is under arrest or he's not

under arrest each day that he remains at

liberty the prestige of your government

suckers the prestige of the Soviet Union

suffers now I let this situation is not

one of our secret I want asked for a

final showdown with the church at this

time once the issue is joined there can

be no retreat there can be no surrender

on our part this religion like all

religions the name is the inevitable

enemy the Soviet state treated as such

you must destroy this man the faith that

is in him he will destroy you well

Colonel Timmer what do you suggest you

put it that way come a commissar there's

only one answer and be arrested once for

conspiracy against the state Colonel

Peter you have a suggestion I agree with

Colonel Timmer letting me try it by a

People's Court and hang for a traitor

sooner the better excellent suggestion

on that is it enough will not serve our

purpose to destroy the man and create a

killer we must destroy something more

than the mere man so let's say

everything about his reputation suppose

suppose we told the world that he was

anti-semitic but everyone in Hungary

knows that the Cardinal is not Addison

Eric protect the Jews against the Nazis

he even hid them in his own salad but

the world outside does not know about

that charge of anti-semitism will be

effective in time we repeated often

enough like Hitler leave me the

technique for big loss Thank You colonel

yes that's a very good technique indeed

we have any other suggestions no no but

I wouldn't think it desirable to make a

political martyr out of the Cardinal

especially during the Christmas season

which is now approaching excellent track

yes yes we must be very careful of all

these things even an anti-semitic

traitor must be brought to trial at

exactly the right time not to assume not

too late yes we must completely

discredit this man his own country his

own church in his own soul but not

before Christmas comment Akashi not

before Christmas with best wishes from

our set for a very merry christmas eve

perfect much too perfectly oh and here's

something for a friend in the kitchen

dear boy in budapest that is taken for

granted it sooner live in the theater

krishna issue is not the you speed of

peace on earth goodwill them in even

during a war this sort of an armistice

tonight and tomorrow I was never brought

up to believe in Christmas in my country

the party let's forget politics for one

night so anyway you and I could take a

nice little law without being tailed by

one of your boys

I'll meet you outside we can talk in my

car okay you don't want to walk we ride

Mary

but a beautiful cake like a wonderful

tour that's remembers a child the kind

of pointed always belongs someone else I

thought you were trying to forget

sometimes it's better to forget tonight

I remember too well the Nazis took our

call fight they lost everything that I

held dear my mother my father my brother

died in the street fighting my sister

and her two children were kidnapped and

exterminated in the Hitler gas white the

world forgets these things because as a

rule that is better to forget honor than

to remember it I do not forget funny we

both fought to turn the Nazis back so

did I we won that battle together but

now only have to go on the ground in a

bard seller eat Christmas cake together

how do you figure that out Alex

sometimes our difficulties between

countries that do not exist between

individuals well good night all I'm

going up on a roof and see if Santa

Claus to break through the iron kitten

and get down a few chimney good night

doc Oh blow out the other Canada when i

get to the top of the steps there's not

supposed to be any laid down here for

the ranks Merry Christmas Merry

Christmas Kelly

very good individuals

next morning Stephanie and I went to

esta gone for Christmas and a wonderful

Christmas at what we got there in time

for high mass for a moment you'll almost

forget what was coming up but only for a

moment when I took a look at the guard I

knew they hadn't come to pray I knew

this was the end of the world and so did

the code and everyone else in that

church and so my dear good people the

days of the teasers are always with us

innocent of massacred the brave are

compelled you with the wreck site like

the Holy Family itself on its flight

into Egypt yet the Word of God abides in

the hearts of men nothing can destroy

that or it is the only reality that

transcends all other reality day christ

is born again for our redemption so we

too are born again and so on this the

birthday of all mankind let us stand

firm in that faith which makes us free

bet free before God free before Caesar

let me affirm once more I love my

country as I love my church if I resist

the Russian authorities were among us I

resist them for the same reason that I

resisted the na dzis once held in

bondage also i am against tyranny in all

forms and under all labels some of you I

know have been asked to testify against

me to sign petitions against me I

forgive you freely I know the pressures

to which I too will be subjected time is

drawing there were nice to be taken from

you so I say for you

as to my fellow bishops be of good heart

engage in no demonstrations thank you

for me as I shall pray for you and

remember please now and as always I pray

for a world of charity a world of

justice I pray for my accusers as I pray

for you my own people today on his

birthday may God be with you and all the

days of your lives

you

have you had word from your secretary

father's wrong car I would not they

would talk to him of course they will

tell the world that he has confessed to

all kinds of things things David he has

confessed it's always the way and the

world will never know for sure what a

good young man he really is matisse

under to poison to ruin a well on a farm

or to spoil a reputation in the big city

matter what happens you must speak for

the truth even in prison but the world

chooses to remember us we hope we will

be remembered for what we did with our

lives in the days of our freedom

it's my duty to announce that you're

under arrest so it is comment last

thank you

what are your instructions there to come

with us at once but go to change the

street for treatment yes it's not a

religious procession you know public

demonstration what is it yeah all these

years I've given my life to God but they

choose to take it now it will only

discover that it is already spoken for

you

I have partaken in no conspiracy

whatsoever I shall not make any

concessions if however you should read

that I confessed and even see it of

Santa catered by my signature regard

that as nearly the consequences of human

frailty and to advance I declare such a

null and void

so the real trial began the trial that

nobody ever heard enough tell us again

when did you first begin to conspire

against the ligerian state I have not

been spired against the Hungarian state

but you have refused to cooperate with

the government have you not I have

refused to cooperate with those who have

taken over the government ah then you

admit that you are guilty of trees by

deny that I am guilty of treason I say

it is the present government that is

guilty of treason and the government do

you leave reason this is not the true

government of hungry desertion

government appointed to office by

Russian trauma sighs kept in office by

the power of the Russian army answer the

question can the government be guilty of

treason yes the government can be guilty

of treason reason to God reason to

Hungary recently humanity you've always

been against the government is it not so

have always been against tyranny

wherever I thought how many times Reuben

can find a trail straight first in 1919

as a young priest I opposed the

administration of the dictator balak you

you will refrain from referring to the

name of bella coola Trotskyite 1944 as

official I spoke out against the true

these are the naughty occupation myself

again fine

day is a continent I find myself in

prison once more only this time what is

your real name name you were born with

my family name is Peyton a journey huh

yes the name is of German origin when

did you change your name didn't sunday

of the Nazis first occupied Hungary what

why are sniffing it where you saved on

no it's a German name I wanted no

favours the hands of the naughty so I

took a Hungarian name I took the name of

the village which I was born 10 mins n

why are you a Jew I am NOT against the

Jews I have suffered with them I have

worked with them I regard them as my

brothers you're working for the return

of the monarchy country are you not I am

not working for the return of the

monarchy in Hungary why did you

speculate in the black market for the

American money I did not speculate on a

black market I bought clothing and food

for the poor with a specific approval of

the government you're working with a

pope to bring the whole world war I'm

not that is not true the Pope prays for

peace

he would but you have an allegiance to

the Pope is it not so yes matter

spiritual I have an allegiance to the

phone and between your allegiance to the

Pope and your allegiance to Hungary

which would you say is the great house I

do not have to choose between my god in

my country I find it quite simple love

the one without betraying the other let

me to observe your eminence that there

are those who do not find it quite so

simple the Secretary's confessed many

times every day that's a little more

come your eminence I for many young man

to suffer needlessly do is your

profession now let there be an end to

all these questions no the lever confess

I have done nothing to injure my country

neither has my secretary father's okay

say he has confessed I say it is because

we have taunted him beyond the point of

endurance I say

other

oh mercy

see comrade commissar he's not so easy

he fed the Cardinal on his feet ever

since he was arrested secretary will

confess to anything Cardinal who

confessed nothing then we must find

those whose testimony will support that

the secretary arrest everyone who has

had any dealings with the Cardinal in

the past month and for his eminence

where is evidence I think we need

special medical attention very special I

just don't believe it they say here that

the Cardinals confessed to the crime of

treason against the state how do you

expect my dear our Russian friends are

very efficient in these matters he was

said it the arrest the man yeah either

confesses I've never heard of again

apparently all I think about a way

where's Janish relish is not working

tonight sir that's strange wasn't here

last night either Tommy Thomas why do

americans make so much trouble for

yourself why do you not accept life as

it is if SF matters further complete

then it is and a comfy is it a complete

where do we go from here there's the

Cardinal fall out of a window and a hive

building like Yan mother I can't talk he

found in the Danube some morning with a

suicide note in his hand but as he get a

fancy-dress trial like so many of the

ones I covered in Russia the kind when

nobody ever pleads not guilty

I admire your power of analysis but at

the moment I'm more concerned about the

state of your health don't worry said it

never felt that but thanks for the

warning tonight Steve good night tom see

you in the morning i Ken excuse me said

you were inquiring about young that's

right I have found out for you where he

lives on the other side of town

somewhere at the end of Kevin you onion

frans van and they want to send him an

old Christmas card

this doesn't make sense it isn't

credible if his Eminence has been

meddling in politics yes to take his

chances just like anyone else madam the

Russians are doing the meddling they

have stolen a whole country from us and

what do we do we sit around in the cafe

as if nothing had happened retrieved our

coffee read on newspapers and wonder

whether the Cardinal was a little out of

line here and there may be more of us

should be out of line with you few

people would just stand together they

probably disappear separately if I may

say so Stephanie I'm afraid you're much

too impressed with kelly at your

acceptance of even temporary employment

the Secretary's most indiscreet Kelly is

a very courageous man perhaps so but

he's a very bad reporter the first duty

of a good reporter is to survive long

enough to tell the whole story if I

doubt the caliber are you trying to tell

me something Santa I only know what I

overheard certain steps have been taken

even though unofficial well how do I

know that if I were Kelly I wouldn't

want to be alone especially not tonight

did mr. Kelly the American newspaper man

take a cab yes miss Ron do you know

whether he went to his hotel no he told

the driver to drop him off at the end of

Avenue on you

Oh

it was a close call for Tom no one knew

whether he was pulled through or not but

the doctors were trying to put him

together again as best they could

it was a little different at 60 i'm

drowsy street they were taking people

apart but they were being scientific

about the medical reports on the

examination of the Cardinal speak for

themselves come by commissar he would

not confess he will not yield in any

degree must confess must be that in well

but there are limits past which we

cannot go if the prisoners to be able to

stand trial I sure we have no difficulty

with such matters you've reasonable

comrade commissar these confessions take

thi even under torture but there's no

time public trial must be scheduled

without delay will not be easy night his

Eminence was arrested he wrote a

personal letter warning people not to

believe any confession that might be

attributed to him once he was under

arrest even if his Eminence should

confess in time how are we to explain

this document in his own handwriting

simple but he confesses let him

repudiate the warning against confession

in his own handwriting but that will

merely remind the people that His

Eminence is obviously been under

considerable pressure how will that look

before a jury there will be no jury case

will be tried before five judges our own

choosing tell me doctor are you quite

sure you find every inducement with the

Cardinal every type of treatment has

been considered comment commissar but

since it is desired to present the

prisoner in court in the near future we

have found it advisable to concentrate

on psychological rather than on physical

pressure we have therefore automated

periods of sympathy and understanding

the period of denunciation of

disapproval prisoner has not been

allowed to sleep for more than an hour

at any one time his cell is completely

illuminated day and night the date he

has been examined on 80 different

occasions the diet is sharply restricted

that for large quantities of hot water

the result of the moods of extreme

elation followed by mood that extreme

depression they've given morphine we

have withheld morphine results

inconclusive we are experimenting

currently but scopa morphine and I would

recommend that this medication be

reserved for later use

if an extreme form of festivity can be

induced it would be more useful at the

public trial tell us one final note no

visitors all communication with the

outside world is denied to the prisoner

very good doctor but not quite good

enough time is running out just when may

we expect the confession of the

defendant mins NT who can say come a

commissar ma'am in sin T is not a

Russian he has no feeling of guilt about

anything when a strong man has no

feeling of guilt he may never confess he

may go on protesting his innocence

forever unless Yes Doctor well there is

still a technique of hypnotic and

posthypnotic suggestion as I'm certain

dangers of course to the patient they're

not concerned with a danger to the

patient I cannot guarantee the results

of course sometimes it's khopoli means

administered in sufficient quantity the

kind of Twilight sleep and use and

control of the patient is established

for many hours at a time all inclination

to resist is removed sometimes the whole

personality is radically effective they

will end doctor we can change the

personality r the defendant been sent

here let this change it by all means the

others yes comrade commissar oh one need

not be too subtle with the others so

you'd have to me

yes I confess yes I confess yes I

confirmed

pharmacy never come in

helliwell stephanie is not good for her

to be seen here do you know the safer

place see if I'm not disturbed for your

private files I'll hit the higher Stalin

where did you get this it must be some

toe it's no joke at it this is the

calling card of a new kind of street

gangs they attack Tom Kelly last night a

little side street why didn't tell me

come here himself because he's still

unconscious in the hospital what would

you do with this Nazi game done street

fight does not make a battle there are

no Nazis in Budapest anymore oh yes

there are they call himself the Arrow

Cross and they're barbarians even if you

take them over and call him communist

it's definitely enough of this van miss

oldies who's going to preside over the

Cardinal so-called trials old he is a

leader in the Arrow Cross worked for the

Nazis all through the war and then

regretted sit in judgment on a man who

fought against the Nazis all through the

war this is nearly a matter of temporary

policy that policy is made by the party

Alex you have to live with that policy

how can you collaborate with a map where

is your conscience conscience if you

mean personal responsibility all

responsibility is in the party the party

through the Politburo is the sum total

of everything we are and the party can

do no wrong the party can do no wrong

and all the Russians who died to stop

Hitler have died in vain because Hitler

lives on in you and every other Russian

that plays the game the way that Hitler

played it why would you have me too

face one question on are you living for

yourself why are you living for the 13

men who ruled the crimp a Russian has

battled it for them or die for

there is no choice

you around my dad is always a joy

Alex somewhere in Russia there must be

people who feel just as you do Howard

Lee that the millions of them I know

there's no such thing as an underground

in Russia but maybe it's time someone

started one maybe a person to person

relay system the tour for people that

truth about what's going on in Hungary

and the rest of the world don't you see

time there's our choice I know it

wouldn't be a very long life but it

would be a wonderful one while it lasted

we have something to live for him when

the time came we'd have something to die

for two i intrude comrade colonel not at

all I've just finished my questioning of

the suspect lieutenant you will taken

into custody once remand her further

had this woman under surveillance for

quite some time

world Oh God in 1939 that is correct

have you remained in tomm support for

the French on the ground why I wanted to

do what I could against the map but I'm

where your country was fighting on the

side of it there that was one of the

mistakes my country made for a personal

friend of Joseph in semi I met him once

that you're ready to testify against

no nothing how can I testify you're

conspiring with attempting to overthrow

the government I'm kind of nothing

the last time is father are you prepared

still time I will not I'm committed no

crime against

I was in love with Colonel Melnick off

but is it an act of treason to fall in

love doesn't matter now

mrs. joy I have made

I'm hungry

the record will show that all of the

seven defendants are charged with

conspiracy to commit treason against the

state and that all seven have confessed

by the Norge Prince Esterhazy far as our

car lots load fort by the ish funky

professor born yaoi at the chief

conspirator Joseph mins NT it remains

for this court only the problem of

determining the degree of guilt for each

of the defendants for the defendant mins

NT the state prosecutor asks the penalty

of death in his own behalf the defendant

mins NT submits to the fourth the

following statement in his own

handwriting I wish to listen the present

tension and voluntarily admit that in

principle I committed the acts in the

indictment after 35 days of constant

meditation I consider that an agreement

between church and state is necessary I

hereby willingly declare free of

pressure that I am willing to withdraw

from the exercise of my duties as

Cardinal free time the prisoner me rise

address the court president a riot

address the core

Joseph mins ND you have heard the

confession is a correct is it your

statement yes it's my statement and in

your hand right and writing is my old

mate willingly and without pressure I

wish for peace these for my church peace

the killers have him come in

where's definitely I have no idea milk

Alex this is a good you love and she

hasn't been seen since they have to know

and she came here to see you if you have

not already made arrangements to leave

Budapest I would suggest that you do so

at the first opportunity I'm not leading

Budapest until I get the whole story of

what's been going on here the trial was

well covered by the press the trial was

well covered by a select group of local

correspondents who never had a chance to

speak with the cargo there were two

American newspaperman present why don't

you talk with them I have every few is

to sign your statement saying there was

no censorship sure but Cardinals

professed but to what nothing that

matters nothing that makes him guilty of

treason you Americans are so naive

always it is the individual you are

thinking about you mean you don't even

think of Stephanie anymore where the

welfare of the state is concerned what

does it matter who lives and who backed

sure what is the difference you Russians

are gonna make the whole world over in a

hurry someone's bound to get hurt

sometimes it's 10 million of your own

people locked up enslaved labor camp

other times is just a funny little

waiter like a janisch a la carte a girl

one might have love okay Ellis you stick

with your dreams I'll play along with

mine no the next time you get back to

Russia take a good look at everything

and then ask yourself how did your

sister and her children have to die and

Hitler's gas wagon what to say you could

build a better world with whatever

remains of the Hitler game you Americans

must recognize that a good party member

is always loyal to the party so long

Alex

to my imagination do I hear somebody

shouting Heil Hitler and Stalin

you

but when they got around a passing

sentence on the Cardinal Alex wasn't in

court he was in Stephanie's apartment

trying to live over the memories of a

girl he had not been able to protect

you

the court requests a statement from the

defendant Joseph mins NT

I have half a century on my shoulders of

the century of definite education and

principles this education these

principles are built into the life of a

human being as railway rails are

anchored into the earth this explains a

lot of things for more than 40 days I

have been before the police and the

court asked me but I answer these

questions dances not only for those who

question me the man must also answer his

own soul I have never been an enemy to

the Hungarian people I have no quarrel

with the workers peasants to whom I and

my family be long this morning I pray to

my lord I asked for peace

I have no quarrel the Russian people but

I do condemn the police state to which

they are enslaved

peace

not tomorrow not in the distant future

peace in our time Joseph mins NT you are

sentenced to imprisonment for the

remainder of your natural life peace

when the local correspondents finally

caught up with Thomas aw Bella no one

was worried about Alex or the Cardinal

were too many other questions before the

house all over the world come in his

meters were saying they would fight on

the side of Russia in the event of

another war well how about it comes ha

does that mean peace or war but believe

me gentlemen russia wants only peace

russia wants peace at all times good

morning

Cardinal man's any these serving out his

life sentence at hard labor was it true

that he's suffered a complete breakdown

both mental and physical huh I hatton

sorry mr. jelly but like yourself I'm

only a visitor here in Budapest well

people are asking questions all over the

world what are you going to tell them

what are you gonna tell the United

Nations about all this what mr. Kelly

we're going to tell the United Nations

precisely what I've told you the Soviet

Union is not concerned in the domestic

policies of the Hungarian government

neither I trust is the United Nations

good morning mr. Kelly this is where I

came in Budapest where east meets west

the Blue Danube is something more than a

walls by Johann Strauss I have the story

about Stephanie because I knew what

no-legged men no record meant death or

worse than a slave live again goodbye

Steve wherever you are to freedom to

those who live for it to those who die

for it good bye Alec you Americans must

recognize that a good party member is

always loyal to the party goodbye your

eminence now and as always I pray for a

world of peace

world of charity

world of Justice someday if we could

ever get through to the Russian people

things might be different but right now

the only people who are getting through

to anybody or the Soviets don't worry

we're blocking them in a lot of ways

return the back in transmitter look at

the marshall plan we stopped them cold

and Berlin with the LA why no they're

still gambling on Germany Austria China

and India but between you and me I think

they'd still settle for peace rather

than me but if you want peace with the

aggression there take it from me if you

hadn't walked over if he steps on here

you've got to yell and keep on yelling

about a lot of things and one of them is

a man named mins in t another lawyer

order the Lutheran bishop Budapest still

husband hit them is the little matter of

the 14 Protestant ministers who are

still in jail in Bulgaria you see the

way halogen we're living in a time when

liberty is everybody's business neither

there's liberty forever there's no

liberty at all
