Refugee Tells of Russian
By BILL JAFFE
"There is one basic differ
ence between Russian an d
American textbooks th e
facts," Michael Simon, a Hun
garian refugee now attending
the University, said yesterday.
Simon, a junior in electrical
engineering ,from Budapest, said
the viewpoints are widely differ
ent and the Russians claim credit
for the invention of the radio and
the steam engine, to name a few
items. These stories are built up
by Russian propaganda and go
unchallenged by the Russian peo
ple, he said.
"Russians have not read a
Western version of world his
tory since 1917 and American
propaganda is so weak that the
real truth is seldom known."
Simon said. "It is easy for them
to change the facts, as there is
no outside communication for
the Russian people." he added.
Simon resisted t h e Russian
propaganda as much as possible
while attending t h e Budapest
Technical University and while
in high school. Students at that

working with the European Productivity
of the Organization for European Produc
tive Cooperation. Hi.: work will
be conducted primarily with
groups of small manufacturers,
technical organizations and col
leges and universities.
In Europe his assignment will
be similar to the work he has
done at the University in helping
the small manufacturer deter
mine how he can benefit from
automation.
Linsky organised the auto
oration program at the Univer•
sity which has attracted inter
national attention and also has
conducted the annual seminar
on automation.
While his headquarters will be
in Paris, he will travel through
many of the European Productiv
ity Agency countries which in
iclude Portugal, England, France,
Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece, Aus
tria, Germany, the Scandinavian
,countries and the Benelux coun
tries.
In each country he will' be as
sisted by a resident engineer and
technician.
His assignment also includes
a study of European manufac
turing processes and automa
tion techniques and the use of
European products as well as
American devices in building
automation models.
Linsky served under the spon
soring of the international Coop
eration Administration as a con
sultant for the U.S. Delegation to
the Inter national Automation
Conference in Paris, France, in
April, 1957.

university are forced to take four
semesters of Marxism, he said.
Referring to the Hungarian
revolution in 1956, Simon said the
Hungarians wanted a centralized
government, free of communistic
control,—but not a true Western
form of democracy. They pre
ferred a system similar to the
English form of socialized gov
ernment and control, he said.
Simon, who was recently
pledged to Sigma Alpha Mu
fraternity, came to the United
States on Jan. 4, 1957, and after
spending a week at Camp Kil
mer, N.J., a refugee center, he
was chosen as one of 15 students
to came to the campus.
During his first semester he
lived with Dr. Charles Hosler,
associate professor of meteor
ology.
When he returned to campus
for the fall semester, 1957, he was
invited to live at the SAM fra
ternity house as a guest of the
chapter.
"I was just happy being there
and couldn't ask for anything
else," Simon said. "The pledging
ceremony came as a complete
surprise.

mon said the fraternity members
and especially his roommate, Da
vid Faust, a senior in education
from Harrisburg, have helped
him with his studies,
"I help when I can in the
fraternity," Simon said. "I want
to show them how I feel."
Simon will go through a special
pledge training program which
will consist mainly of learning
the fraternity's history and
symbolism.
Simon tells an ironic story
about his mother's flight-to free
dom. His mother left Hungary
for Austria on the last free train
on the morning of Oct. 22 and at
that time she had no knowledge
of the revolution which broke out
that same evening,
She was going to Vienna to
visit relatives, Simon said, and
just waited there until he found
her two months later. His mother
came to the United States as a
refugee and is now living in New
York City.

'lsolation Chamber
Traps Politicians
"Once we have them in our isolation chambers, they
never escape without first committing themselves on many
issues they didn't wish to discuss," said George Drout, editor
of the editorial page of the Harrisburg Patriot-News, Sat
urday.
Drout's "isolation chamber" is a press conference room
in the newspaper's office and he
was referring to politicians when
he. said they never escape with
out talking into a tape recording
machine.
The use of a tape recording
machine to develop news stories
on a national, state and local
level was explained in a demon
stration by the Patriot-News at
the 1958 Pennsylvania press
conference held over the week
end at the Nittany Lion Inn.
A 3-man team of editorial writ
ers from the Patriot-News pre
sented the demonstration on the
use of tape recorders. They ex
plained the use of the machines,
the transcription techniques and
the editing process which is re
quired after an hour-long inter
view.
Delegates to the conference
heard play-backs from inter
views with Harold E. Stassen
on his Pennsylvnia guberna
torial aspirations. Gov. George
M. Leader on the effectiveness
of press conferences, Lt. Gov.
Roy E. Furman on his cam
paign plans and President
Eric A. Walker on the need for
greater educational facilities in
Pennsylvania.
"The Search for Tomorrow's
Newsmen" was the topic of a pre
sentation moderated by Eugene
Goodwin, director of the School
of Journalism.
John Vairo, instructor in journ
alism, told the newspapermen
what high school students think
of newspaper careers. He said he
visited more than 100 high
schools in the state and talked
with 2500 students interested in
high school publications in the
past year.
As a second part of the prey
sentation, a panel of graduat
ing seniors in journalism—Ed
ward Dubin, William Kling,
Ralph Manna, Lawrence Jacob
son, Marion Beatty and Judith
Harkins° n--told why they
were or were not entering the
newspaper business as ,a career.
