Dr. Nicholas Nyaradi speaks on
"Russian Preparations for War" at
B tonight in Guion Hall. Admis
sion will be free.
The former minister of Finance
In Hungary spent seven months in
Moscow negotiating with top-rank
ing Soviet officials and was a wit-
nesa to what went on inalde the
Kremlin,
He chose voluntary exile when
the Russian dominated Hungarian
government tried to force him to
comply with their plans to con
fiscate all American property in
Hungary.
Since his resignation Dr. Nyaradi
and his wife nave been residing
in this country. At the present, he
is traveling throughout the nation
to present his lectures. /
Based on his experiences while in
Moscow, Nyaradi wrote a series
of articles which appeared in the
Saturday Evening Post under the
title "I Saw Rupsiu Prcpurlhg for
World War III.’' [ f
He claims that Russia has two
"iron curtalns"—the faml lar one
behind which she hides h4r inter
nal activities and another behind
which she secretes her methods.
Born in Budapest, Hungary,
Nyaradi was educated at ihe Uni
versity of Budapest wharf he be-
same Doctor in Political Science
as well as Doctor In Law.
Since he was intimate with many
of the top officials in Rusaia, he
had every opportunity to penetrate
the usalan’a walla of secrecy.
No stranger to the United
States, Nyaradi Was appointed Fi
nance Minister in the Hungarian
Cabinet on a trip to Washington to
discuss economic matters with of
ficials of our State Department.

she may be.

“Hullo," she rasped through
bright red lips and teeth, "You must
