3 Anti-Red Czechs End Battling Trip to West
Berlin—(U.P.)A modern epic of fortitude was ended today for three young anti-Red Czechs who battled their way to safety in the West after a 28-day flight across Communist Czechoslovakia and Soviet East Germany.
An American spokesman in Berlin said the men will be given political asylum now that they have completed the harrowing journey during which they killed at least four Communist policemen in gunfights.
The United States High Commission announced that five Czech youths started the 200-mile trek to freedom from Prague Oct. 3. They were equipped with three pistols and a few American dollars.
They hid in barns, ate potatoes stolen from farms, walked by night, slept by day, and existed without or water for one period of five days.
One was killed and another believed captured along the way. When the lucky three reached West Berlin Nov. 1, they had one pistol, S2 rounds of ammunition, and hope for political asylum. One was wounded and the other two were ill.
Radio Free Europe in Munich said the three who reached West Berlin were Cizira Mazcin, 23, and his brother, Josef, 21, sons of a Czech general executed in 1942 by the Nazis, and Milan Baumer, 22. Baumer was badly wounded in the stomach and arm.

Local Studio Seeks Actors
Freshmen who want to work between classes or in the evening may be able to get a job in the movies, Arthur H. Wolf, president of Centron corporation, 1107 Massachusetts, said today, Mr. Wolf added that auditions for actors will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Centron studio.
Auditions are open to any freshman man or woman, and no experience is necessary since Centron is interested in finding "new faces" to take parts in educational motion pictures, he said.
Centron corporation produces a large number of educational films each year, in addition to films for industry and television, Mr. Wolf said. It already has produced three sound films in color for the University, "Your University," "Beyond the Towers," and "To the Stars."

Hailed Taxi; Got Cop Car
Franklin, Ind. —(U.P).Pvt. George
Looke-twice didn't look too closely
when he hailed a taxi. He and another South Dakota Indian soldier
were fined $13 on intoxication charges after police gave them a free ride to the local jail. Look-twice had hailed the police car thinking it was a taxi.
Gale winds ripped through Alabama and Georgia last spring, destroying 500 homes, leaving 2000 homeless, killing and injuring 382.
Thousands of telephones were out of order-hundreds of poles damaged and destroyed. Communications had to be restored quickly. They were! Here's how:
1. Engineering teams rushed to the stricken area. In hours, they determined material and men needed to restore service.
2. Based on these reports, equipment as far off as Chicago and New York-began rolling toward the area.
3. Telephone crews arrived from as far away as Atlanta and Birmingham - engineering and accounting forces, construction, cable testing and repair teams.
4. Red Cross, hospital and other essential installations were rushed.
5. The public was informed of progress by daily newspaper and radio releases.
There's room on this team for a wide range of college graduates business and liberal arts, as well as engineering. Plan for your future by getting details now about job opportunities in the Bell System. Your Placement Officer has them.
Result: in 3 days, Columbus, Georgia—which suffered 10 million dollars property damage—had half its out-of-order telephones working and Long Distance service nearly normal. In another 3 days substantially all service had been restored.
Planning and co-ordination among many telephone people with a variety of skills made this quick recovery possible. It illustrates vividly the teamwork typical of Bell System men and women.
