WITHDRAWALS OF SOVIET FORCES
New York, Dec. 12.
The United Nations General Assembly tonight condemned the Soviet Union for violation of the UN charter in “depriving Hungary of its liberty and independence and the Hungarian people of the exercise of their fundamental rights." "
After three days of debate, the 79-nation world forum also called on the Soviet Union to arrange immediately to withdraw its forces from strife-torn Hungary "under United Nations observation."
