FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, January 20. 1958 Young Hungarian Slops in Medford; En Route Seattle A young Hungarian named Dezso Papp, en route from New q Orleans to West Germany to see his twin sisters stopped in Med ford Wednesday and today. Papp, age 20, told reporters that he was born in Budapest, Hungry, and has worked in New Orleans since his entry into the United States in 1952. He said that his sisters, Mary and Theresa, recently escaped into West Germany from behind the Iron Curtain in Hungary. Hitch Hiking Papp id he was hitch-hiking "to Seattle, Wash., to work his vay back to Germany on a boat vSien he became stranded in Medford. He is looking for work. The boat on which he hoped to get a job leaves Seattle today, he said. He was employed by the Un ited States Immigration Service in New Orleans and speaks eight languages English, Ger man, Russian, Hungarian, Po lish, Czechoslovakian, French and Ukranian. He said he could not find other work in New Orleans after losing his job as interpreter and that he decided to try to work his way back to Germany to see his sisters. Papp said that his mother and father were killed in a bombing ing raid in Budapest in 1942. When the Germans took over the city he was befriended by a German soldier. From that point on Papp told a story of wanderings that ended with his entry into the United States in Feb. 1952. Wanders About The German soldier started to take him to Germany,' he said, but .the train was almost destroyed by English planes and the soldier was killed. Papp wandered about East Germany until he was placed in an or phanage where he remained un til the Russians discovered him. The Russians transported him back to Hungary and from there to a military type school in Len ingrad. Papp said he didn't like the school and ran away, traveling, mostly on foot, from Leningrad back into West Germany. In Germany he heard a great deal about the Americans and decid ed he would go to France and stow away on a ship to the Unit ed States. He crossed the French border at Strasbourg, he said, by hid ing behind a bus that had stop ped for customs inspection and then running along with the bus between him and border offic ials while it crossed the border. He walked to Metz where he stowed away on the Paris ex press to Paris. From Paris he made his way to Marseille where he hoped to get on a ship bound for the United States. Sent to Munich Instead, Papp said, he was picked up by the harbor patrol and after questioning, sent back to Munich, West Germany. Af ter sleeping on the streets in Munich for nearly a week he was befriended by American mil itary police who helped him get' into contact with the Interna tional Refugee Organization. Papp then told how the IRO helped him "gain legal entry into the United States. He went directly from New York to New Orleans where he took the job with the Immigration service. Papp is now staying at the Ross motel in Central Point and has asked that anyone having any type of work contact him there as soon as possible.
