A Texan in Hungary...
_ Ttxan ind<
mifnt as
ftgime. So ^
pell Texan Jack Guinn from Hungnry “for-
«ver.” The reason for this expulsion make
us proud of this Texas and ef the Associated
Press, for which he was correspondent.
Guinn wrote what he saw. What he saw was
a reign of tenor.
A centhry ago. Hungary was struggling
for its independence, seeking to break away
from Austria. Kossuth, the great national
hero, was given a tremendous welcome when
he fled to New’ York. Today, Hungary is
technically a free nation, but in fact Russia
has replaced Austria as the master.
The Hungarian government action against
Guinn followed by a week the arrest of his
American-born secretary, Miss Elizabeth K.
Pallos, and by three days the expulsion from
^ ugoslavia of Arthur M. Brandel, Belgrade
correspondent for the New York Times.
‘ The Hungarian ministry of interior is
sued a statemont saying that political police
' had discovered "an organization for espion
age,"iln connection with which Miss Pallos
and seven other persons had been detained.
"In connection with the discovery of this
organization," the statement said, "Minis
try of the Interior authorities expelled Mr.
Jack Guinn, associated press correspondent,
from Hungary forever ”
Brandel and his wife, Mary’ Lester, Uni
ted Press Correspondent, left Belgrade yes
terday. They were busted for what the Yu
goslavs termed "offensive" writing.
Yesterday’s statement by the Interior
Ministry’ in Budapest was the first detailing
of any reason fo rthe detention of Miss Pal
los. She was born in Pittsburg, of Hungarian
parentage. The U. S. Legation took up her
case with the Hungarian government, claim
ing she w’as an American citizen. Hungarian
officials claimed she was a Hungarian.
The statement connected most of the per
sons detained\ with the opposition parties of
Deszo Sulyok, who fled Hungary three
months ago because, he said on arrival in
Vienna, he was "in fear of his life;" and of
Zottan Pfeiffer, whose arrest the government
has threatened.
Guinn was born at Rusk, Texas, on Oct
18.1916. and attended the University of Tex
as. He served with other news agencies from
1939 to 1946—much of the time in the war
theaters—and joined the Associated Press
in April, 1945.

on the Lone Star state.

ftcial magazine of the U. S. military gov

slick publication in the German language.
.In the layout are photo-pictures of a
cotton loading scene in Houston, a rodeo in
Amarillo, a mountain-ranch scene, an oil
refinery in South Texas, Dallas’ skyline, the
governor’s palate in San Antonio, and a
lection of a Stetson-hatted audience at a
San Angelo livestock auction.
Outlines of the Houston picture say:
•'Dieser sweitgroste Hafen der USA vor 50
jahren ein unbedeutendes Dorf.” Transla
tion : largest port in the U.S.A. was 50 years
algo an obscure village."
The general caption say’s that Texas is
the largest state in the Union, raising the
most cattle, the moat vegetables, the most
turkeys, and the prettiest girls ("says the
Texan’’). It saya that Texans wear the
broadeut hats and drill the deepest oil wells
