Former Hungarian Swimmer Seeks To Bring Mother Here Hollywood - (UPD - Gold medal Olympic swimmer Kati Szoke, who refused to return to her Communist-controlled Hungary following the 1956 games in Australia, has launched an all-out campaign to have her mother join her here. Now a professional model and occasional water per former, Miss Szoke said she had only recently started to think of getting her mother out of Hungary and into the United States. "I' was new in your coun try," she explained, "and had no idea how to start. Also I knew that my mother was under the age where the Hungarian government would allow her to leave the coun try." Situation Belter "; Now, with a reasonable command of English for a girl who didn't speak a word of it in 1956, the situation is bet ter. 'My mother is now 51 and that is old enough to get an exit visa," Miss Szoke said. Also I have been studying very hard so that I can be come a citizen in another year and' have learned how you do things. She said she went to the Federal building and asked the information girl She explained the best way would be. to. talk to the congressman from my dis trict, she said. "The lady then asked where I lived and told me who my congressman was." At the office of Rep. Gor don L. McDonough she was told the congressman was in Washington but would be back this fall. His secretary suggested she write him. I have tried to write the letter many times," Miss Szoke said, "but the words come hard. In Hungary any person as high as that is very important and not written to as an ordinary man. But I know I will send the letter within a day or so The tall, slender natural blonde said the biggest thrill she has received since coming to Hollywood was perform ing in Frank Serines "Aqua Spectacular at nearby Ma rineland. Interfiling Competition "There I went swimming in the same tank as the porpois es," she said, "and when you're swimming in compe tition with fish it is very in teresting." Miss Szoke said her model ing work earns her enough to afford a small apartment with a pool, where she swims sev eral times a week. "But it's certainly not enough to keep in training," she said. "Training for the Olympics required spending about eight hours a day in the water." In the Australian Olympics, Miss Szoke won gold medals' Many Eligible Americans Won't Vote in Elections nthpi- eroUDS eiiKagcu Washington (CO) - More than 107,000,000 Americans will be of voting age this November, according to Cen sus Bureau estimates. But probably no more than 65 million between 60 and 65 per cent of the electorate-will actually make it to the polls November 8. Where will the other 42 million potential voters be? A Congressional Quarterly survey shows millions of them will be prevented from voting by factors- largely beyond their control. Stiff residence requirements in state laws may keep up to 8 million re cently moved Americans from registering to vote. Poll taxes are believed to keep another 4 million away from the polls. Other 'requirements which cut down on voting Include literacy tests and bans on votes by convicts or the in sane. Furthermore, the resi dents of the District of Colum bia and all federal property have no vote. ' A modest estimate of the total "involuntary non-voters" is 13 million. The remaining 29 million non-voters are those citizens who lack sufficient interest to register and vote, This year, as every year during 'the past decade, they are targets of a massive cam paign to lure, entice, embar rass or shame every eligible citizen to the polls. The American Heritage foundation and its partner, the Advertising council, will again provide the nonpartisan atmosphere and advertising the. 100 meter freestyle and the 400 meter relay events. Black Cats Bad Luck? Here's What Happens Allentown, Pa. - Mrs. M. J. Leader gave this description of what happened after a friend gave her a black cat for her birthday. "An hour afterward I trip ped and bruised my shin and in the next five hours I broke two cups, left my purse on a bus, had a quarrel with my mother-in-law and tore my stocking." . . . for the movement. Advertis ers and media are expected to contribute up to $12 million advertising time and space in a campaign urging voters to register, contribute and work for the parties of their choice, and to vote. The Kenncdy-for-President organization has set up a Na tional Voters Registration committee with a 12-man Washington staff and registra tion chairman in 40 states. The Democrats claim 7 out of 10 unregistered voters are Democrats, and are aiming at getting millions of them reg istered for the Nov. 8 elec tion. . -Disputed by GOP Republicans dispute the contention that the unregist ered are predominantly Dem ocratic, and have launched their own national registra tion campaign, concentrating on 23 states from. Maine to California-which have a to tal of 369 electoral votes. The GOP campaign is stimulated and coordinated by the Na tional Committee, but direct management is. left to state and local organizations. .' the 1960 get-out-the-vote cam paign are the AFL-CIO (which is budgeting $500,000 for a registration drive), the League of Women Voters "and the General Federation of Wom en's Clubs. The size of the vote in the U. S. has been increasing in recent years, along with the growth of the population. But in percentage terms, the V. S. turnout lags far behind most European democracies where between 78 and 97 per cent have turned out for election in recent years. How States Voted The biggest vote in Ameri can history was the 1956 Pres idential turnout, of just over 62 million. But measured against the potential vote, the 1956 showing was not as good as 1952's. In percentage terms, the 1956 turnout was only 60.4 per cent of the potential, while the 1952 turnout was 63 per cent of the potential. In Oregon, 68.4 per cent of the potential voters cast Pres idential ballots in'1956, while 67.2 per cent of them voted for President in 1952. - Porter To Aifejid Paris Conference ' Washington (UPD Rep, n Porter.
