He quickly announced a boost in Hungary's military spending. Kadar took over the premier- ship from Ferenc Muennich, an old revolutionary. They had as- sumed power together when Russia crushed the Hungarian uprising of 1956. The shakeup, announced Wed- nesday by the presidential coun- cil, boosts Kadar's status and puts him in the position of offi- cial government spokesman in {the event of Hungary's partici- |pation in international negotia- {tions. His dual role parallels that of Nikita Khrushchev, So- viet premier and party chief. Kadar, 49, last held the two jobs in 1958, when he relin- quished the premiership to Muennich, Muennich appears ready for |semi-retirement at the age of 75. He stepped down from the premier's job to minister of state. The government an- nouncemen! said this anc other changes were suggested by Ka- CMI SS OI. i dar "to strengthen party and state leadership." Endre Sik was replaced as foreign minister by Janos Peter, a former Reform Church bishop who has led Hungary's delegation to the UN General Assembly for several years and made bitter speeches against the West. Sik probably will re- tire. The number of deputy pre- miers was increased to four from two. The new ones are Jennoe Fock, the party's chief economic theorist, and Bela Biszku, former minister of the interior. Biszku's successor is Janos "app, who is not a mem- ber of the ruling Politburo. This indicated that the interior min- istry's police powers may be cut. Karoly Kiss, deputy president dent and member of the Polit- buro, lost his job as secretary of the party's central commit- tee. The announcement said he had been proposed for a new but unstated government post, leading to speculation among Westerners that re may suc- ceed Istvan Dobi, Hungary's aging figurehead president.

A UN spokesman said fighting through the night was limited to isolated pockets. So far, said.a UN spokesman, two UN troops--a Swedish offi- cer and an Indian soldier--have been killed in Elisabethville. The Katangese are believed to have about 40 dead. In Leopoldville, UN Secretary- General Dag Hammarskjold, who arrived just as UN troops were taking over in Katanga, had a series of emergency con- ferences with his aides. He called off a press confer. ence scheduled for this morning. (A foreign office spokesman in London said Britain has ex- pressed concern to Hammar. skjold over UN action. The spokesman said British Ambas- sador Derek Riches in Leopold- ville sought an explanation of UN policies in Katanga and the authority under which they were being carried out.)

Defence Minister Marshal Rodions» Malinovsky wrote in Pravda that Soviet forces would be at an advantage because their rockets can deliver nu- clear bombs that "will reach the aggressor in his own den." Malinovsky said the Russians have great' nuclear arms "amounting to many millions of tons of TNT."

The hard - pressed executive came under attack from another direction. i DEMANDS APOLOGY Colin Bates, president of the Sudbury branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, demanded a public apology from the execu- tive for using the Sudbury Ceno- taph as a speaker's platform Sunday night. He declared that executive members had "desecrated the ground consecrated to our glori- ous dead." The 2,000-member Port Col- borne local last week voted to withhold its $2,500 monthly due to Mine-Mill in line with the pat- tern set early this year by the Port Colborne members in ne- gotiations with the International Nickel Company of Canada Limited. At the request of Mr. Smith, the executive met with him that night and the national president protested that the stand of Lo- cal 637 was destructive to the interests of Inco workers. Because only six of the nine executive members were pres- ent, another meeting was held Wednesday night and the Sept. 21 voting date decided on |'WILL BE FORCED' Mr. Babirad said Mr. Smith told him that in view of the si- tuation in Port Colborne he would be forced to bring his forces into the city. He quoted Mr. Smith as saying "if your attitude does not change I will be forced to set up trusteeship for the Port Colborne local." Said Mr. Smith: "I am sure its $25,000-a-month payments.
