Press Photo Dr. Leslie J. Jekely

Testifies Dr. Leslie J. Jekely, a former member of the Hungarian Parliament and Top Administrative Officer from 1945 to 1947, testifies in New York Aug. 25 before House Subcommittee investigating communist aggression. He said that John Peter, now a Bishop of the Hungarian Reformed Church, kept his position as confidential secretary after the communist forced Hungarian President Zoltan Tildy to resign. Jekely said he had been told by a former high Hungarian government officer that Bishop Peter had been appointed as secretary by Tildy as an appeasement of the communist. Bishop Peter is now attending the World Council of Churches.
