Frozen Hungarians help one another to cross a bridge over the Sinsen Canal, which was damaged by a Soviet tank a few hundred yards inside the Hungarian Border near here Nov. 21st. The span known as the Bridge of Freedom, was fired upon by the Russians to prevent the flow of Hungarians from fleeing into Austria. 60,000 Hungarians have fled to the west.
