Czech Refugees Get German Asylum HOF, Germany (U.F.)—The U.S. high commissioner announced today that all political refugees aboard the Czech train which cracked through the Iron Curtain will be allowed to remain in the west. Twenty-five of the Czechs have asked for asylum "in the free west" after a spectacular flight from their communist homeland yesterday. Eighty-six other Czechs who rode the "freedom train" as unwilling passengers will be returned to Czechoslovakia. A high commission announcement recalled a statement last April by Commissioner John J. McCloy that American authorities "will not return political refugees to Soviet orbit countries where their freedom or even lives would be intolerated." "This policy will be adhered to," in the case of the runaway Czechs, the announcement said. It said the Czechs are temporarily in the custody of the U.S. Seventh Army "which is making every effort to provide suitable food and accommodations." "We did it because it is no longer bearable to live in an east European country," said Frazek Jarda, engineer of the train and a leader of the daring escape plot. "We have been preparing for this a long time," he told reporters. "We brought food and clothing—everything we could." "All along the way we got help," Jarda said. But in the traditional manner of refugees, he declined to identify the people who helped them. Jarda brought his wife and two children with him. Thousands have fled to Germany since the communists seized Czechoslovakia. This is the first time any escaped by pirating a train. The way they did it was amazingly simple. The express train was on its regular run from Prague to Asch near the German border. It was scheduled to stop at Asch but instead the engineer raced through the town at 60 miles an hour. Someone at Asch had thrown a rusty switch and the train was shunted to an old, unused track leading across the German border to the town of Selb-Ploeszberg, 25 miles from Hof. The refugees then turned themselves over to German authorities."

Dignitaries and well-wishers from all parts of Orange county have been invited to attend and give the hospital project a good send-off. In talking about the hospital plans at a recent meeting, President Murdy pointed out that the board has over a million dollars on hand to cover construction costs, but will need $250,000 for furnishings and equipment, etc. He said the hospital would have 75 beds with room for more patients without increasing service areas.

Contino Eligible For Release Oct. 7 SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—Accordianist Dick Contino, who began a six-month prison sentence for draft evasion last month, will be eligible for release Oct. 7. Albert Wahl, chief federal probation officer, said a new federal law provides that persons sent to federal prisons for more than 180 days may be released after serving one-third of their sentence. Contino would thus be eligible for release from McNeil Island, Wash., federal prison by next month, Wahl said. He added that the matter would be up to the prison warden.
