Wife Rejects Hungaria Plea To Seek New Life O jvnucLicii, Austria w.rj a O yojing Hungarian farmer stood toy- ia the no-man's land of CO -the Auetro - Hungarian frontier r pissaeo. in vain lor his wile ana children to join him in seek in a nw life in America. O The farmer was Ignoc Habet ler, 30. He enacted the one-hour Cdoaiestic draace, with his wife. Maria, within earshot of Hunga O 0 rian border guards standing by q0 l-"L'with their guns at the ready, and q c"5nLview of passing Soviet sol--j q djers.- Habetler beaded his wife O ia accompany him to New York. In toe nd Maria turned back to Hungary with tears in her eyes. She said she feared even shattered Jluogary would be a (better place to live than New York: if war comes. O "If0war breaks out it will.be O Oq worse in America than here," she said. Th most she would prftnise was that he might join 0 (ignoc when it seemed "feasible." O Habetler fled across the bor der one dark night two.'weeks ago, leaying his wife and, two children behind in .the one-room I ' shackthey called hme. He re turned to the Austrian border post Tuesday afternoon and asked for help in getting word to Maria to join him. Hp huA rprpivf a letter from cr his sister, Mrs. Anna Gruber of j u New York, containing money and the promise of financial aid to bring the Habetler family to New York.. ' Hungarian-speaking Austrian border guards hailed a horse drawn cart on the other side of the Iron Curtain and asked the driver to tell Mrs. Habetler. Grim Journey The driver agreed only reluc tantly.' He said he was taking home the body ' of a' Hungarian patriot, shot by the Russians in the woods 'above the village. During the shouted conversation a Soviet truck filled - with Rus sian soldiers roared past down the highway. . Soon afterward the Austrian guards spied a. woman running across the flat fields toward, the large Austrian flag marking the safest border crossing.' Habetler rushed into the no' man's land until he stood separated from his wife only by a ditch, that once contained land mines. Habetler pleaded with her to bring the children to the border so they could leave for the Unit ed States. She refused, and dur ing their argument two Hunga rian soldiers dressed in .khaki topcoats walked up.. The Aus trian guards unslung their rifles. Habetler tossed an Austrian cigarette lighter across the ditch I n Farmer's in America The lighter is worth .more in Hungary than a week's pay for a private soldier. . Young Soldiers The Austrins .told reporters that young recruits, in military service only ten days, are being rushed into the border area. They had been drafted . from Hungarian Tillages near the; Ro manian border. . The Austrians added that the new soldiers took easily to bribes. The Red soldiers were not sat isfied, however, 'and Habetler handed over two more lighters and a harmonica on a promise they would help Maria escape. They were joined by Maria's mother, an old peasant woman who wore .a black shawl slung over her head. She asked Habet ler to; return, to Hungary. . Hungarian villagers rode past on bicycles, staring. One Hunga rian leaned his bicycle against a stone cross near an unmanned guard tower and listened open mouthed. . . At last in desperation Habet ler shouted to his wife, "If you don't come I'll go to America anyway. I don't want to go back to Hungary." ' .. . She wept as she turned away, but Habetler was confident his wife and children eventually would join him. topics tor uecisions Program Are Listed ' New York The Foreign Pol icy association ' today called upon citizens across the country to share in considering eight vital foreign policy questions in the light ;of violently shifting world relations.' The plea was made in con junction with the association's "Decisions . . . 1957" program at a conference for national organi zations, 'if ' Topics Announced Representatives of more' than 100 groups, including veterans, labor, religious, business, educa tional, .youth, and service, heard John W. Nason, association pres ident, announce eight "Deci sions." The questions were chosen with the assistance of a commit tee of experts as those most likely to confront the American people in the year ahead. They are: , 1. How should the United States compete with Russia? 2. "What-United States policy for Europe? 3. What United States, stakes in the Middle . East? . 4. Should the United . States deal with Red China? 5. United States for or against "Colonialism"? 6. Are "neutralists" against the United States? 7. What United States mili tary strategy, in the nuclear age? 8. How . much trad e how much aid? The association has urged in dividuals in. all parts of the country to consider the ques tions and express their conclu sions as they see fit. Many groups have been working .this fall on advance plans for "Deci sions . . . 1957" programs. Major Project . The- United States Junior Chamber . of Commerce has adopted the progam as its ma jor international relations proj ect for 1957, and several hun dred of its local chapters are ex pected to take part, ' . -The association said commu nity programs, in most cases in volving the cooperation of civic groups,- churches, schools and colleges, newspapers, radio and television stations, are being or ganized by. local leadership in California, Idaho, Maine, Mary land, Massachusetts, New Jer sey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, . Vermont, Vir ginia and Washington. ; State wide programs will be under way about the first of February in Connecticut, Michigan, Ohio and Oregon.
