UN OBSERVERS NOW LIKELY
TO BE ADMITTED
United Nations, Nov. 28.
An Indian delegation source said today he had reason to believe that Hungary has given a favourable reply to the United Nations regarding the admittance of Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold to Budapest.
The source said it was expected that this reply might be announced to- day, as the reply to the UN General Assembly resolution calling on Hungary to admit UN observers to study the situation.

India has played an important role in activities outside the UN to gain Hun. garian adherence to the Assembly resolution. The Indian Government has used its influence to urge a favourable reply on the matter of observers,
It was not known whether Hungary would immediately clarify whether Ham- marskjold would be welcomed alone or with observers. But UN opinion was that if Hammarskjold is admitted into Bungary, the question of observers could be worked out satisfactorily.
Mi Hammarskjold, today demanded a reply from the Soviet-imposed Hungarion government by tomorrow to the General Assembly request to send observers to the war-ravaged country-United Press and Reuter.
