Senator HUBERT H. HUMPHREY. Senate Office Building. Washington 24. D. C. DEAR SENATOR HUMPHREY: In connection with my visit to Washington on January 24. 1957. there arose the question of those Hungarian refugees who left their country. sought asylum in Austria. even though they were members of the Hungarian Workers [Communist] Party. To answer this question I have to go back to the foundation of this party. For several years after World War II it was the aim of the Communists to increase the membership of the party by all possible means. They tried to achieve this goal by propaganda methods but most of the time by fear and intimidation.
