Czech Refugee Confirms Story of American’s Escape from Prison MUNICH, Germany. (UP) — A Czech refugee said today John Hvasta escaped with him and four other prisoners last Jan. 2 from a Czech prison where Hvasta, an American, was serving a 10-year sentence as a spy. The refugee's story supported an official Czech announcement of Aug. 8 that Hvasta escaped Jan. 2 and that his whereabouts since are unknown. The story of the escape was told in an interview by Jaroslav Burec, 30. Burec said “four prominent political prisoners” fled at the same time as himself and Hvasta, but he did not name them. Escape Related He identified the prison as one at Leopoldov, 30 miles northeast of Brastislava, where only prominent prisoners or those considered especially dangerous were held. By Burec’s account: The six fugitives slipped out unnoticed by guards. They part-ed into two groups of three at a river two miles away. Hvasta went one way, Burec another. They planned to meet again, but never were able to locate each other. Burec expressed confidence, however, that Hvasta has not been shot or recaptured and said he probably was hiding in some small village. Burec succeeded in making his way across the heavily guarded Czech border into west Germany. Espionage Charged Hvasta, 25, Hillside, N.J., was arrested by Cech secret police in October, 1948, and the following May was sentenced to three years in prison on charges of espionage. After an appeal a second trial in April., 1950, increased Hvasta’s sentence of 10 years. U.S. officials have steadfastly rejected the Cech spy charges as unfounded.

Legislature in Deadlock Over School Funds By MORRIE LANDSBERG SACRAMENTO (UP)—The California Legislature plunged into a deadlock over school financing to day.

(AP) — Members of the Screen Writers guild and the Authors League of America called a strike today against the alliance of Television Film Producers. The alliance comprises 13 member firms and the walkout may interrupt production of more than half of the filmed TV programs made in Hollywood. Nine months of negotiations broke down more than a week ago when the alliance refused demands by the guild and the league. Spokesmen for both groups announced last night the strike would go on as scheduled at 12:01 am. No comment from alliance spokesman was immediately available. The demands are: Advance payments to the writer against a percentage of a film's gross earnings, with final payment to be made after the producer has cleared his negative cost; leasing, rather than outright sale, of scripts on a seven-year renewable basis; reservation for the author of movie, dramatic, radio and publications rights to material he writes for TV. The guild and the league have no contract with the alliance. The alliance has voluntarily been paying the guild minimum of $500 for a half hour TV script. Assemblyman Robert C. Kirkwood (R-Saratoga) urged the no vote on concurrence as a step toward turning over the bond issue bill and companion spending control measures to conference committees in hopes of drafting compromise terms. Speaker Sam L. Collins, (R-Fullerton), named Kirkwood, John Moss (D-Sacramento), and Ernest Geddes (R-Claremont) to negotiate with three senators, yet to be appointed. Floor debate on the Senate action brought a statement by Assemblyman Montivel Burke (R-Alhambra) that the 130 million bond issue, plus a 20 million appropriation proposed by the Upper House, would be sufficient for the school program. But Assemblyman Thomas Maloney (R-San Francisco) urged the members to "stop, look and listen" before going into the state's general operating fund for the 20 million. He said it would lead to the necessity to vote more taxes next year. DEL MAR.
