Brunswick,- N.J.. scarcely an
hour's bus ride from Camp Kil
mer. Refugees who had never heard
of Thanksgiving bowed their
heads and gave thanks for their
escape to freedom before eating
traditional Army-style turkey
dinners Thursday.
The meal was completed from
tomato Juice cocktail to candy
and nuts. It began with a bless
ing by the Rev. Imre Gabos,
former pastor of a Budapest
Baptist church, who fled with
his wife and two of his three
children.
Mimeographed menus written
in Hungarian were given to
each of the 34 refugees seated
in a former Army messhall. In
them the Hungarians read, most
of them for the first time, an
explanation of the American
holiday. A New Brunswick Hun
garian language newspaper sent
copies of an issue describing the
celebration that has been ob
served since 1620.
'"We thank our friends for the
blessings that are here bestow
ed upon us, and for everything
that you have done for us since
we have been here," the Rev.
Gabos intoned in Hungarian.

Seattle Tied Up
By Transit Strike
Seattle ttl.PJ
A transit
strike tied up this city's public
transportation today as bus
drivers walked out after a stale
mate in wage negotiations.
The strike came at 2 a.m.
(PST), two hours after repre
sentatives of Street Car Men's
Union, Local 587, concluded a
five-hour meeting with Mayor
Gordon S. Clinton.
Busses still on the streets will
be allowed to complete their runs
but not busses will go out on
their usual runs today, a union
spokesman said.
The strike affects approxi
mately 1,500 employees, includ
ing drivers and other employes
and tied up the 512 busses of the
Seattle Transit System. Busses
are the city's lone method of
public transportation.
Originally, the union asked a
20-cent hourly wage increase but
later pared that to an 18-cent
hourly raise. The Seattle Transit
Commission first offered a 4
cent hourly "cost-of-living" raise
and later increased its offer to
6 cents an hour.
