12 LIBYANS BANNED The Irish Independent, the Dublin doily reported recently that the Irish Government on Libyans entering Ireland for training or had in July decided to order a complete ban education courses. An official spokesman was quoted as explaining that the approximately 300 Libyan students already in Ireland would be allowed to complete their studies, but that Libyan participation in future training courses would be phased out. In recent years Colonel Qadhafi, the Libyan leader, has publicly made several remarks sympathetic to the IRA, the Irish terrorist group. Col. Qadhafi supporting terrorist groups RAPE BECOMES NEWS Rape has suddenly become news in the USSR. For decades the official Soviet media had pretended that this was a "Western" or "capitalist" crime almost non-existent in the Soviet Union. Now, under the new policy of glasnost ("openness"), rape is no longer a taboo subject. Sovetskaya Kultura, organ of the USSR Ministery of Culture, reported recently that the father of a raped girl student had written to the newspaper about the dilatory and unsympathetic attitude shown by the police investigating the crime. As a result of the publication of the basic facts of this case, the paper was inundated with readers' letters. Most called for rapists to be more severely punished (the offender in this case received only a three-year sentence), and many wanted more information about the pre- TWO ESCAPE ON SURFBOARDS Using a small compass, two East Germans recently escaped to Denmark on windsurfing boards. They landed on the Baltic island of Mön, 100 kilometres south of Copenhagen. These unstable craft — surfboards equipped with a sail — require great skill if they are not to be capsized even in a sheltered bay. A Danish police spokesman said that this was the first time that anyone had used this form of transport to reach Denmark from a Sovietbloc country. Following their normal practice of not disclosing details of escape routes, the Danish authorities did not say where the two men sailed from. However, as Mön is 50 kilometres from the nearest point on the East German coast, this was a remarkable feat on the open AN EXECUTION THAT NEVER WAS The USSR's official Press recently reported the 90th anniversary of the birth of Army Commander Yakir, but without mentioning that he was one of the Soviet military leaders executed in 1937 as part of Stalin's Great Purge in the 1930s. The only Soviet newspaper to hint that his death had not been an ordinary one was Pravda Ukrainy, the Kiev daily. It said that Yakir’s life had been „cut short" several years before the 1941—1945 Great Patriotic War (the last part of the Second World War, the USSR having been allied to Nazi Germany from September, 1939, to June, 1941). Yakir was commander of the large Kiev Military District. MUSEUM TO MARK MONGOL DEFEAT Russia’s decisive defeat of the Mongol hordes in the 14th century is to be cothmemorated in a „panoramic museum“ to be built at Tula, nearly 200 kilometres fouth of Moscow. Tass, the official Soviet news agency, reported recently that the building would be dedicated to the Battle of Kulkovo, fought in 1380, in which „Russian troops defending their homeland routed Khan Mamai’s invad- ; ing Tatar force.“ valence of rape and other crimes. One letter noted that much was written in the Soviet Press about crime in the United States and Japan. This, it added, was not of much in-1 terest; what was wanted was information about i tackling the crime problem in the USSR. THE GUARDIA» OF LIBERTY (NEMZETŐ!) Mdk H, gRoTM* Erscheint 2monatlich.

MARCH-APRIL, 1987 Radical Reform Planned in pre-Communist Hungary (Continued from Page 10) Later, Cardinal Mindszenty wanted to establish a community of “worker-priests“ ; from among EMSZO activists. But this small group soon had to disband. Members of related local groups were re-1 gistered, however, and kept under the surveillance of the police as “useful cadres of the working class“. Others were imprisoned or, as an alternative to jail, drawn into the Hungarian Communists Party (KP). Father Nagy of KALOT, Kerkai’s repre- i sentative, was permitted by the Malinovsky ! headquarters to continue working. In the : autumn of 1945 KALOT celebrated its tenth j anniversary in a Budapest sports hall and invited Communists to the festivities. ! This controversal gesture was undertaken in the interests of peaceful co-existence. Pre- ; sumably, however, confidential permits of J another kind came to the KP from Moscow, ; and well-equipped hit-squads advanced on KALOT gatherings in the villages. The young peasants struck back vigorously, and the terror-commando raids were called off. A few months later the “Murder on Ring Street“ was committed. The Communistcontrolled media claimed that a member of KALOT had shot a Soviet soldier in Budapest. The shot apparently had been fired from the ruins of a house. When police started in pursuit, the perpetrator fled to the attic of the building and committed suicide. In his pocket a KALOT identification card was “discovered“ — that is, placed there by the police. Several days later, in July, 1946, KALOT and 220 non-Communist groups were dissolved by the regime.
