MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. UP1
i-Mrs. Margit Halmi and her
family faced death many times in
-"their search for freedom.
Her husband, Dcszo, 49, was an
underground leader during the
.Jlunganan revolt of 1956. Mrs.
'Halmi and their two sons all
fought beside him against Com-
imunism.
s. They survived the Red Army's
t(rutal counterattack on Budapest
isnd when the revolt failed the
family sought freedom outside the
lron Curtain.
They came to America three
.years ago, and settled here, just
35 miles south of San Francisco.
Halmi was employed as an elec
tronics engineer, and the t w o
:.hoys now 20 and 16 registered
for high school.
'j- Mrs. Halmi had put aside her
tifle and once again became a
housewife. She was washing the
reakfast dishes Monday while
Kavy Lt. (j.g.) George Blake was
5tiii'king an approach at Moffell
aCaval Air Station in his crippled
' single-engine jet bomber.
The young lieutenant fought to
'ifontrol the plane as it zoomed
iever Mountain View where he
Jlived with his wife just a few
. blocks from the Halmi residence.
Blake spotted an open field in
the cluster of homes and re
mained with his plane in an ef
lort to avoid disaster. When it was
apparent he could not reach the
clearing, the pilot ejected but
it was too late.
The bomber and its pilot
plunged into the Halmi home with
a fiery blast that leveled the
house.
Halmi and the two boys had
departed for work and school earl
ier, but Mrs. Halmi was at the
kitchen sink. Her body was found
in the charred debris, not far
from that of the young pilot.

Cook Poisons
Employers
To Get Fired
ALENCOX, France (I PD - Ar-
lette Paris couldn't stand the
quiet of country living but she
was too devoted to her aged em
ployers to resign as cook.
Arlcttc took up the job of cook
ing for Count Chevrel do Frilcuse
80, and his wile. Elizabeth. 73,
soon after completing psychiatric-treatment.
She thought working and living
in tne counts huge but quiet
country house would be just the
thing for her nerves. But the very
silence of the house began to get
her.
She thought of .quitting, she
told police, but her employers
doted on her and she was lond of
them. Maybe if she would do
something they didn't like, she
thought, they would fire her.
The solution dawned on her last
Saturday while she was cooking
a pot of the soup her employers
liked so much. Spoil it, she said
to herself, and she will be away
from the eerie atmosphere.
She found three bags rat
poison and a weed killer. The
weed killer, she said, appeared to
be the least harmful so
she dumped some in the soup.
"I just wanted to make it taste
bad," she said. "I just wanted to
make them discharge me."
Shortly after dinner Saturday
night the Count's son stopped by
to see his parents. He found his
father dead, his mother writhing
in agony. She died shortly alter.
Arlette was returned today to
psychiatric treatment.

Labor Boosts
Race Equality
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (API-
Organized labor today stepped up
a drive to promote racial equality
among workers.
ArL-CIO leaders broadened a
campaign to drop union member
ship color restrictions after accus
ing a government anti-discrimina
tion committee headed by Vice
President Richard M. Nixon with
being too soft on employers.
Nixon is chairman of President
Eisenhower's Government Con
tracts Committee assigned to en
force standard clauses in all gov
ernment contracts.
Meany's comments had political
overtones because many AFL-CIO
leaders say Nixon has won sup
port among the federation's l'i
million Negroes by strong public
pronouncements against racial
bias.
Meany, himself a member of the
Nixon group, advocated tougher
government policing of the con
tract requirements to the point
of canceling the contracts of vio
lating employers.
Federation leaders arranged a
new racial equality compliance
system of assigning members of
the Federation Executive Council,
composed of top union leaders, to
work on segregation problems as
they arise.

Three months later the Army
.-ert a bill for $1,5."0 and said the
rental for a year would be $ti.'J00.
This was hardly nominal for a
chool district struggling to raise
$155,000 for a new building.
The school board didn't pay the
$1,550 and it hasn't gotten any
duns from the Army since it ap
pealed to Sen. Stuart Symington
D-Mol, Rep. Charles Brown D-
Moi and Dewey Short, long-time
Hepublican congressman who be
came an assistant secretary of the
Army after Brown dcteated him
in 11156.
The Missourians in Congress
introduced bills to excuse Stella
Irom paying the rental. Brown's
version passed the House. This
was the bill that Majority Leader
Johnson trotted out Monday for
the purpose of grafting on civil
rights amendments.
Is this all right with Stella? '
"We are only concerned with
the matter of the rent money
which the Army says we owe,"
said Don Parsons, superintendent
of schools.
There are no Negro pupils in
the Stella school district and Stel
la was too preoccupied with its
building emergency to think much
about civil rights and the U.S.
Senate until Monday.
It was preoccupied Monday,
too. It was the first day for 337
pupils, grades six through twelve,
in the brand new Stella school,

Her phone number:
OLympic 8-1960
She could be a fancy figure skater from France. ( Or some other country,
if you wish.) And fittingly enough OLympic 8-1960 is her phone num
ber. It's hers for the 10 days of the Eighth Winter Olympic Games at
Squaw Valley, California. For this is headquarters phone number for
eight hundred athletes and six hundred press people from 34 nations.
To speak their tongues, we searched for switchboard girls fluent in,
languages of many lands. We put in phones at ends of ski slopes. Put
them around ice rinks every place communications were needed.
And we set up television, radio and Teletype links to bring you this
sports classic. This is one more example of the way phone people pitch
in to help make big events run smoothly. And help bring them to tha
eyes and ears of the world. ' :
