The hero of a fantastic adventure behind the iron curtain, left here at 12:45 p.m. (7:45 a.m. CST) in a Swiss air liner. Among those bidding him farewell was Jaroslav Bures, one of five other anti-Communists who escaped with him from the grim Leopoldov prison in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia.
Mr. Hvasta was due to take off from London at 7 p.m. London time (3 p.m. CST) for New York on Pan American airways flight 100, due at Idlewild International airport tomorrow morning.
Still nervous after his ordeal, Mr. Hvasta refused to talk to the 30 newsmen and photographers gathered to see him off, despite a press conference which the American consulate had arranged.
Mr. Hvasta remained silent also at Zurich, where his plane arrived at 1:50 p.m. (8:50 a.m. CST) for a brief pause on its way to London. By special request of the American consulate in Zurich, Swiss police refused to permit newsmen near the plane.
The young Czech-born, naturalized American had served in the Navy and then gone back to Czechoslovakia to study under the GI Bill of Rights. The Reds had sentenced him to prison as a spy. With his companions, he had escaped through a hole in the prison wall. For 21 months he had eluded the Communist secret police. Last Oct. 2, he managed to slip into the American embassy in Prague.

Irene Castle-Dog Lover-Fights Inoculation Drive
Chicago—(U.P). Animal lover Irene Castle, onetime darling of the Broadway stage, today offered to let a mad dog bite her to save her four-footed friends from the pain and danger of a hypodermic needle.
The state of Illinois ordered every dog and cat in Chicago inoculated against rabies in an unprecedented step to halt an epidemic of the disease that has killed one child and seen several mass attacks by slavering dogs.
Meanwhile, dog pounds were filling up like Yale bowl on an autumn Saturday and officials said they may have to start destroying strays in wholesale lots to make room for newcomers.
As humane society officials called for "calmness rather than hysteria," a farmer near Chicago telephoned the sheriff's office to report that he had shot his dog and cat because of fear of rabies.
Miss Castie, who is now Mrs. George Enzinger and operates the famous "Orphans of the Storm" animal shelter at nearby Deerfield, Ill., said "inoculations would paralyze the hind legs of dogs."
She offered to put up $5,000 and challenged, "No one can prove that a person bitten by a rabid dog ever died as a result."

A CAMPUS-TO-CAREER CASE HISTORY
It took a class reunion to show Ed Mahler, '50,
that all first jobs are not alike. He tells us why.
(Reading time: 33 seconds)
The class reunion at his alma mater, Swarthmore College, was an eye-opener for Ed Mahler. The talk among the Class of '50 switched to jobs. Ed had taken it for granted that everybody was happy with his work.
After a year of training in which he worked in each of the departments installing telephones, handling business contacts with customers-Ed felt he had a good look at the entire company.
After being graduated with a B.A. in Economics, he went to work for Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania in 1950. He reports he chose the Telephone Company because it seemed to offer the best chance for a career.
Then he found that some of his classmates had had two or three jobs since leaving school. Others had kept the same one but weren't satisfied. By sticking with his first job and intending to make it a lifetime career, Ed suddenly discovered he had a head start.
He was assigned to the Traffic Department, which has the responsibility for seeing that customers' calls are handled efficiently. The job included personnel work in addition to developing better operating methods and practices. He was quickly put on his own.
Now Ed has been transferred to the job of estimating the amount and type of new equipment which will be needed in central offices as their customers increase.
Ed points out that projecting himself into the future isn't anything new. That's precisely what he attempted to do when he chose his first—and only—job.
Ed Mahler's job is with an operating company of the Bell System. But there are also jobs for engineers, arts and science and business administration graduates with Western Electric, Sandia Corporation, and Bell Telephone Laboratories.
