Observers said that, of all these moves, the last probably would be the most effective. The others would have an effect, too, because of the adverse labeling of Hungary before the family of nations.

He questioned the men privately for an hour before they appeared for the press conference. American Army, Air Force and State Department intelligence officers and experts on the Iron Curtain countries had interrogated them in relays for eight hours previously.
