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.
