did not ask any assurance that
could remain here.
II knew the standard of conduct
of the American Government and
that was enough for me-"
He pointed out that Secretary OF
State Marshall, in commenting on
the case of the two Russian school
teachers who had sought haven here,
said that those who did not want to

Mr.. Vogel, interviewed at his home
at 1928 Somerset place NV, was
reluctant to talk about the reasons
for his resignation. He indicated
that as a newspaperman he will
want to write himself about the diff
ferences he has found between his
Communist dominated government
and the American way of life.
Calls Self Refugee"
He summed up what he has come
to know in America by citing the
editorial page Of an American news
paper, where, in one column, he said,
are the editorials and in another
column are the letters to the editor
attacking the editorials.

He was in the Social Democratic
Party in Romania, which he de-

there are liberals in the Democratic
and Republican parties here. He
was vice chairman Of the newspa-
permen,s association in Romania
and was the choice OF his colleagues
for his position as press attache.
Asked II he had any ideas OF
eventually remaining in America
when he came here, the newspaper
man replied. IT didn't know America
then"
Notification indirect"
As for his action In seeking to
remain here, Mr.. Vogel emphasized
that he was neither seduced nor
exploited" but resigned because u

MIR. Vogel Is q tall, broad

pose for pictures.
When he talked about giving up
his salary, he joked with his wife
about helping her wash the dishes

upset at the sudden publicity. her
husbands remark about dishwash-
