DREAM OF LIFE IN OWN HOMELAND BUOYS UP IRON CURTAIN REFUGEES

By (+»‘or(fr P. (iaal ON BOARD A .JEWISH IMMIORANTS TRAIN EN ROUTE TO ISRAEL, i UP) Thr IB-year-old girl shivered lightly as she stood up from the wooden bench of the compartmmt. She gently lifted the head of the 17-year-old boy from her lap and placed it on the bench. It was 5:30 a. m. but she couldn't sleep any more. The girl stepped out into the corridor of the roach and cast a tired look on the snow-covered Tyrolean Alps. The boy inside, who will be her husband within a few weeks, slept on. Tomorrow they will smell the breeze of the Mediterraneon in Ban. Within a week they will disembark in Haifa and step on the soil of Israel, a country which will be their new home, a country which now will be their very own. The two, along with 458 other passengers, came a long way from all countries behind the Iron Curtain. The majority were Hungarians, but there were several Czechs, Pyles and Romanians, too. 1 lived with them for three and a halt itays and this is the story of how they made it. It is the atory of the 17-year-old boy and

1 he 16-year-old girl, but it is nuch the same as to what happened to all of them. They left Budapest around the niddle of April in small groups ind made their way to Vienna hrough Czechoslovakia. Most >f them are young, between 15 and 21, hut there are many older who came with their entire fam-

ilies.

Noemi Ascher, 16. and Miklos Stransz, 17, crossed the frontier on a dark April night with five other young people. “We walked 20 miles that night," pretty, brunette Noemi told me. She looked at the boy sleeping in the compartment and smiled. “When I was very tired, 1 leaned on his shoulder,” she

said.

‘‘Why did you leave?’’

“You couldn't live any more in (Hungary or in any of the “Peonies Democracies.’ if- you are a lecent person. Not even if you ire a child,” she said wearily. “Everybody is in uniform. School kids have their special uniforms, just as pioneers, working brigades, ‘Fighters for Freedom,' many, many policemen

and even more soldiers,

are many boys with us who their mobilization papers in

morning packed up whatever they could and crossed the bord--r the same night. “It is impossible to get a passport now in Hungary. The few cases which still occur are heavity paid for, sometimes as much as $20,000 to $25,000," she said. Upon arriving in Austria these refugees are herded into a <amp from where they are gradually moved to the U. S. zone of Austria, to the town of Steyr, on the Soviet zone frontier. “I followed this tiain from Steyr to Innsbruck, the last stop before the Brenner Pass, the Italian border. In Steyr they usually stay for one day at a transit camp, from where they are -p< nt to the Beth Bialik camp in Salzurg. Sometimes they stay only over-night, sometimes long-

er.

Miklos Mordi now joined us In the corridor. “It was in Steyr where I proposed to her," he said softly, putting his arms around the girl. “Why getting married so young?" ••You see, actually we’re not young any more. My mother was killed by the Nazis in 1044. The firm of Noeml's parents was nationalized. How they will get

There I along we don't know. W’e had got our own lives to save, we could-

tho n >t carP ...” he said.

“Only our age is young, but I guess we’re just as old as any grown-ups. We need someone to live with, someone to start a new life with. Now we'll have a real home country where we may live free and equal. We want our children to live free, too. that's why we’re going to Israel. There we might have enthusiasm againf It's really not the matter of age now—it’s rather that of surviving. Don’t get me wrong, we’re not broken, we’re only bitter. ‘‘You see, we never knew freedom and you ran’t live long without it,” Noemi added. “They kill your soul back there,” an elderly man said. I brought my wife and two children with me. We have very little, but we shall work hard in our own country, at last." The train rolled slowly into Innsbruck. During the half-hour stop, young hoys and girls left the train and danced the traditional “Hora" on the platform They were no longer afraid. I waved them good-bye.

# Seven million, five hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money any way you spend it! That’s what the more than twenty-four hundred employees of Public Service Company earned last year, and had available for spending in the Indiana communities where they live and work —for food, clothing, taxes, rent, gasoline, recreation and all the rest! Their combined "purchasing power” contributes more than a little bit to the prosperity of their fellow citizens. Public Service men and women are good neighbors in many other ways, too. Among them are representatives of every faith, taking active part in the spiritual and fraternal as well as the ma-' terial welfare of their communities. Their time and energy as well v as their financial aid are generously given to civic and charitable drives- of all kinds. Public Service employees are Hoosiers . . . proud of their jobs and their Company, proud of the opportunity their work gives them to serve their neighbors, proud to take their fair share of « community responsibility. Above all, they’re proud to play an active part in building Hoosier prosperity . . . and, the Company is pardonably proud of therm
