By ERNIE HILL, Times Foreign Correspondent. ROME, Italy, Nov. 25—A Romanian sculptor, well known in his own country and in Italy, drew me aside at an art exhibition about two months ago.

He blinked nervously. His voice

When I told him it would be impossible to try to smuggle his daughter out, he refused to lose hope. : It was three weeks before I saw him again. He came to my apartment one night. He insisted I keep a scrap of paper on which he had written his brother's name,

There will be no reason for them to watch her if I return. If I can, I will let you know.”
