The colonel said the rebels will appeal to the United States and other Western powers to aid them in their fight for freedom.

"We are fighting only the Rus sians, Jhe said, ine Hungarian army is either with us or neutral. The AVH (secret police) are dead or arrested." The colonel refused to give his name. Magyar Ovar is a Hungarian border town, 18 miles from the Austrian border checkpoint at Nicklesdorf. (A party of Hungarians, be lieved to be rebels, appeared in Nickelsdorf yesterday and appeal ed for ambulances and supplies to relieve what they described as a "catastrophic" medical situation. (They said at least 70 persons had been killed and 200 wounded in the town in fighting that was still underway.) We have national councils governing the towns of Gyoer, Sop-ron, and Romoron in western Hungary, and another in control of the entire county of Borsod and its capital of Miskolc," said the colonel, who commands the rebel forces in Magyar Ovar.

Football Game Details on Page 2 Communist-inspired Singapore Riots Leave 13 Persons Dead Britain and France today demanded an urgent meeting of the United Nations security council to consider the Soviet Union's military action in Hun gary. The three western powers joined in calling for quick de bate on "the situation created by the action of foreign military forces in Hungary in violently repressing the rights of the Hungarian people." Their letter to the security council, whose president for October is French UN ambassador Bernard Cournut-Gentille, specified the complaints involved a "situation" and not a "dispute" which would have involved invoking rules which prevent any party of a dispute from par-ticinatine in a debate.

Informed western sources said that a council meeting would be called "without delay" but the western ambassadors were still consulting as to the exact time for the meeting. East Germans Seek Ouster Of Red Leader BERLIN, Oct. 27 (IP) Non-Communist students in East Germany, apparently heartened by the anti-Soviet revolt in Hungary, have demanded the ouster of old-line Stalinist Walter Ulbricht, real power behind the red regime, it was learned today. They also called on the government for democratic reforms. It was student unrest in Hungary that ignited the revolution against the red Budapest regime.

Reports reaching West Berlin said students at the Humboldt university in East Berlin demanded the resignation from government and party by XJ1-brich, the Communist "strongman." Unrest was also reported in East German factories. "Tell the truth, you're lying," workers were said to have shouted at Communist officials who toured factories to denounce the Hungarian revolt as a fascist movement Ulbricht and other central committee members visited factories in an effort to check unrest there, it was reported. Ulbricht told workers in East Berlin's telecommunications factory that any revolt attempt would be crushed. Foreign Policy Gains Spotlight In Campaign By RAYMOND LAHR tT.P. Staff Correspondent The national political candi dates gave primary attention this week to foreign policy, unrest in the Russian satellites, hydrogen bomb tests and the farm vote.

The presidential nominees held to more restricted travel schedules as they prepared for next week's windup of the 1956 campaign. But their running mates continued intense barnstorming in some of the crucial states. Republicans President Eisenhower made on ly one foray this week into New York city for an address at Madi son Square Garden Thursday night. But he opened the week with a statement denouncing Soviet Premier Nikolai A Bulgan-in's latest proposal for suspending tests of nuclear weapons. Mindful that Adlai E.

Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nom inee, is calling for a halt of H-bomb tests, Mr. Eisenhower wrote Bulganin that the Russian proposal represented interference in U. S. political affairs. He reiterated that such action must be preceded by agreement on a system of inspection and control.

In an 18-page document from the White House Tuesday, the President took the same line about inspection and control. And he challenged Stevenson's argu ment that breach of an agreement to prohibit H-bomb tests could be readily detected. This document, intended as the complete reply to Stevenson, said the United States must make sure that its arsenal will dissuade any aggressor from waging war until enforceable international agreements are reached. After the anti-Soviet outbreaks In Poland and Hungary, Mr. Eisenhower issued statements expressing sympathy with the hope for independence in those countries.

Other Republicans viewed these rebellions as evidence that Mr. Eisenhower's foreign policy is working. In his New York speech, the President again spoke out against Stevenson's proposals to ban H-bomb tests and end the draft. He also laid out a program promising to "continue economic and fiscal policies" that promote prosperity, to expand welfare programs, build schools, protect civil rights and revise immigration laws.

Each has made a dozen or so flights in "open basket" ballooning in preparation for the altitude record attempt Most recently, on Aug.

10, the two men flew 40,000 feet above Minnesota, going from a ground temperature of about 70 degrees above zero to a temperature of minus 70 degrees high above the earth. Coffee they carried in a vacuum bottle boiled as they passed through a cloud. Weather conditions here at this season, he said, are suitable for launching only about one day in 30. From the stratobowL the ascension could be made one day in ten. The two men expect to be aloft for about eight and one-half hours, two hours of which would be at the 75,000 foot level.

over his 1950 sedan On a sharp curve a half-mile south of Los Alamos last night, totally wrecking the car and narrowly escaping injury himself. Richard Edward Leist, of Glendale, was the driver of the car, which was headed north on Highway 101 at the time. Two cars struck cows that wandered out on Highway 101 seven miles south of Santa Maria last evening, slightly damaging the autos but apparently giving the cattle only a big scare. The autos involved were driven by Lucille Moon, of Venice, and John Wallace Johnston, of Fort Bragg, the Highway Patrol said. Both were driving south on the highway.

Somewhere between three and five cows were on the highway, the CHP said. The animals were the property of C. Leo Preisker and Jim McClanahan. The Moon car was damaged on the left front fender and the Johnston car was damaged on the right front fender. Two cars were damaged in a collision on Guadalupe road near Blosser at 5 p.m.

The autos were driven by Dennis Leslie Blackburn, of Bakers-field, and Kathleen J. Chojnac-ky, cf 212 South Superior. The latter car, a 1954 sedan, was the only one damaged, getting a slight dent. Mrs. Maude Piatt, 320 East Chapel, told city police yesterday afternoon she stopped her 1947 sedan in the 100 block of East Chapel about 2 p.m.

and her car was struck from behind by an auto driven by Mrs. Almeda G. MacElhaney, 801 East Orange. In another mishap, Don Brent Parker, of Orcutt, said his 1946 sedan was struck in the rear by a car driven by Gordon Elmer Smith, 441 East Camino Colegio. Spook Squash i I I y.

Diplomatic reports reaching London said Soviet reinforcements also were enroute to Budapest where fighting was "more intense" today and the situation, "if anything; has worsened." These reporft were skeptical of the new regime's ability to restore order, and said Nagy's move appeared to be a frantic effort to create the impression in a divided country that "moderate elements" now were in power. Budapest radio announced that Nagy's reorganized, but still predominantly-Communist, government was set-up "on the widest basis with the participation of most of the democratic groups in the country." The Red regime's latest effort to placate the rebels fighting against the tanks, guns and jet aircraft of the Soviet army and the Hungarian secret police for the fifth day brought two former prominent rightwing leaders of the Catholic small holder party Into the cabinet. They were Zol-tan Tildy, former president and premier, and Bela Kovacs. who 'once was arrested by Soviet se cret police as a spy.

Tildy was named state minister, Kovacs minister of agriculture. But these moves apparently came too late to stem wave of rebellion, which already has run the number of dead and wounded into the thousands. The rebel forces seem determined to fight on to victory, with the ultimate aim of driving every Russian soldier out of Hungary. The Russians now are the main enemy, since much of the Hungarian army has gone over to the insurgents or is remaining neutral. Only the Hungarian secret security police have stayed with the government, which called in Russian soldiers to fight Hungarians.

Returning travelers described Budapest as a "city of horror." There were so many dead, they said, Soviet troops were dumping bodies into the Danube river or throwing them into cellars. Hollywood Y-Day Deadline Monday Stars galore! That was the word this week on Y-Day in Hollywood from Santa Maria YMCA president H. Deane Wiley as he completed plans to take more than 40 local youngsts and adults to the 24th annual event Saturday, November 3.

COSTUME PARADE There will be no Hallowpen costume parade tonight at the Orcutt PTA Hallowen party as was previously reported, it was announced today, i Frost1 Warning Issued Locally The first frost warning of the year has been posted by the local weather bureau for tonight with low temperatures expected to range between 34-40.

This morning's scattered showers produced only .01 rainfall locally, raising the season total to .77 inch, compared to .68 normal reading. Rainfall at this time last year was only a trace. of Group Studies Boone Trafficway Copies of a proposed resolution on the Boone street controversy were mailed out today to members of the local Chamber of Commerce highway, industrial and legislative and governmental relations committees. A letter accompanying the resolution and signed by Chamber President Glenn E. Seaman asks that committee members study the resolution, drawn up by the Chamber's executive committee, and attend a meeting Wednesday at the Santa Maria Inn "for a frank and thorough discussion." The resolution tentatively drawn up by the executive committee endorses the east-west crosstown trafficway recommendations of the city's planning consultants, Hahn, Wise and associates, "as a logically sound solution to a long-term requirement for the growth of this community." Chamber Secretary Bob Seav-ers explained, however, that the tentative resolution was darwn up only "for something for the committeemen to kick around." In other words, if the three committees decide against endorsing the Hahn, Wise proposal, such will be the resolution presented to the Chamber's executive board for approval.

City Police Issue Halloween Warning Police Chief Harold English today issued a warning to would-be Halloween pranksters and vandals that the police department "doesn't intend tolerating" any maliciousness or property damage next week. English said he wanted to notify the public that the department would have sufficient manpower to put the dampers on anybody that gets out of line. In addition to the full de- partment and auxiliary officers, a group of special officers will also be on duty and the department will have seven radio-equipped cars in action. He also asked local citizens' cooperate in keeping unfortunate occurrences at a minimum over traditional mischief-making holiday.

Official sources predicted the dragnet sweeping the cjty will gather up about 500 leftists union leaders and members of native secret societies.

Helicopters carrying tear gas kept a watch for illegal street gatherings.

About 300 Scottish troops moved into the city from their Malayan border posts to help police in their efforts to quell the rioters.

Nation to Get Standardized By UNITED TRESS Standard time returns to the nation at 2 a.m. tomorrow, bringing with it an extra hour's sleep for millions. The time switch means the end, for a few months -at least, of a confusing disagreement of clocks in some areas.

And it will make life easier for television executives. When the days started getting longer last spring some communities went on "fast" time, while their neighbors left their cloaks alone. The state of Indiana probably held the championship for time differences, but among cities Nashville claimed top spot. In Nashville, state and federal offices stayed on standard time while merchants ignored a state law that prohibited daylight time and set their clocks up an hour. Now all Nashville clocks, if they're running properly, will Egree.

Daylight time in many areas ended Sept 30. In Pennsylvania this affected about a quarter of the population. Tomorrow the rest of the state, including Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, makes it unanimous.

M. L. Lewis prepared for the flight in a "stratolab" gondola by spending six hours in a pressure chamber yesterday under conditions similar to those they expect to encounter in the stratosphere.
