The fact that the United States paid ransom for his release was
a show of weakness on the part of the 'U.S. and a psychological
victory for Russia, Robert Vogeler told a hushed first-night Com
munity Forum audience last night.
The stocky businessman showed only occasional signs of strain
as he recounted his ordeal of "17
Months of Despair" behind Com
munist bars.
This was the first time that the
United States paid - ransom to any
country for the unjust arrest of
a citizen, Vogeler said, and there
were other ways of effecting a
release that would not have re
sulted in America's loss of pres
tige.

Few Turn Out
For Pep Rally
A small but enthusiastic crowd
braved the• cold at last night's
pep rally to give Penn State grid
ders . a sendoff for tomorrow's
gathe with Purdue.
- The rally, sponsored by the
sophomore' class, was held on
the steps of. Old Main.
, Charles Sp eid e 1, wrestling
coach, told the crowd to stick
by the team, win or lose. He
pointed out that it is .clannish
ness that counts, saying an indi
vidual can not play the game by
himself;
Neida' Fralich, last year's fresh
man class secretary, introduced
sophomore football players Don
ald Eyer, Keith Vesling, Matt
Yanosich, Pete Shopa, and Joe
Pascarella, to the crowd.
B,r u' c e Wagner, cheerleader,
and -Miss Fralich presented short
singing skits. Wagner acted '• as
head cheerleader at the rally. "
The Blue Band, under the di
rection of James Dunlop; played
College songs. Wagner led the

Victim of Terror
Vogeler said his arrest was due
to Russia's having to restore
"waning prestige" in central Eu
rope after Tito had severed re
lations. "I was an inviting piece
of jailbait," he said, ". . . they
were confident .they could build
me into a sinister character."
Vogeler, the only American.busi
nessman in Hungary at the time,
was there "solely in a commercial
capacity, at the invitation of the
Hungarian government," he said.
"I - shall never forget the im
pressive opening of the iron gate
and the noise it made when it
closed firmly behind me. I was
the first American f , 3 be publicly
humiliated in a Soviet trial, but
not the first to , be a victim of the
terror that now rules Europe."
Hours of Torture
Soon, Vogeler said, he realized
what their game was, namely, to
"set the stage for a big production
—the invention of conspiracy cen
tered around an American busi
nessman."
His first hours of torture were
unrelieved by food or sleep. When
they realized that he would not
admit to espionage, Vogeler said,
"they worked on the sabotage
charge . . . as though I had single
handedly schemed to undermine
the five-year plan."
'After taking all his clothes ex
cept his suit the Communists
threw him in a six by six foot
cell with a wet floor and "per
spiring walls" where he was given
only black bread and water three
times a day.
"Another touch of evil genius,"
Vogeler said, "was the noisy

I turn in blank cards of non-con
tributors so a tabulation of stu
dents contacted may be kept. •

and national, will benefit from
this year's drive.
