NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26--The United States has started consulting Britain, France and other allies to decide whether to cite Russia before the United Nations on charges of brutal military intervention in Hungary.

The State Department, in disclosing this today, also hinted this country is considering a separate diplomatic protest to Moscow denouncing Russia for using its troops against the Hungarian students and workers.

At a news conference, a spokesman for the department reported a new blackout of all telephone and telegraph contact with the American Legation in the revolt-torn capital of Budapest.

Hungarians Riot

VIENNA, Oct. 26--Budapest's anti-Communist riots flared across western Hungary tonight, spreading a trail of death.
