SALZBURG. Austria, Feb. H.
Two fugitive Hungarians said to-
flight they have final and abso-
lutte proof" that the conviction of
Josef Cardinal Mindszenty was "a
farce built on a stack of forged
and extorted documents.
LaSZlo and Hanna Sulner, who
describe themselves as official
handwriting experts of the Hun
garian government, fled to Austria
earlier this week and now are in
the protective custody of Ameri-
can occupation authorities in
Western Austria.
The Sulners said in an inter-
view that they are waiting until
they reach "a safe and peaceful
spot on this earth to make good
a personal vow to expose the trial
of Cardinal Mindszenty for just
what it waS-a monstrouS crime
by the Hungarian government"
They said they brought with
them microfllm copies of virtually
every document used in the trial
of the cardinal in Budapest. Car
dinal Mindszenty was convicted of
treason, espionage and black mar
ket dealings and sentenced to life
imprisonment last Tuesday.
With the documents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sulner say they will be able
to prove that almost all the evi-
dence used in the trial was OBJ
tanned by a combination of for
gerry. the use of drugs and hyp-
nosis and by Photographic tricks.
Long Planned to Flee.
They said they were not asked
to testify at the trial because the
defense attorney never raised the
question of the validity of the
documents introduced.
The Sulners long had planned
to flee Hungary, they said, but
were unable to do so until last
Sunday. On that day Mrs. Sui
ner's mother, who was also in
Budapest, started on a trip to
the United States where she will
visit her son. Emery Florian OF
Jackson Heights, Long Island,
N. Y. When she was safely on her
way. they Immediately fled the
country, the Sulners said. They
did not say how.
The mother, Mrs. Maria Florian-
Fischof. sailed yesterday from
France for New York on the liner
Queen Elizabeth. (Her son
dropped the Fischof in American
iZing his nameD
The Sulners said they are both
devoted Catholics but that their
primary reason for fleeing Hun
gary was that they could mo
longer stomach the official lies of
the government"
They said they could prove "in
less than one day" that:

They said that only photo

Mindszenty trial.

mans during the war. Under its

The information that the car
dinal had been drugged. they said,
came from someone with first
hand knowledge, man who was
in a position to know and whose
name we will tell when we are
safe"
During the interview both ex-
pressed the deepest concern over
their personal safety until they
are farther to the West.
Mrs. Sulner. who strained her
left ankle in a dash across the
Austro- Hungarian border. refused
to stand by or approach any win
dow or open a door. She con-
stantly repeated:
I'm ashamed to admit it. but
I'm terrified. If you knew what is
going on in Hungary, you wouldn't
blame me-"

than 80 miles on foot after they
had crossed the border.

Mrs. Edgertoh Experienced World TrQve!er
By MarieIIen Saunders

There is an attractive, petite
hostess here in Washington, who
has visited so many countries that
"travel" should be her middle
name.
She Is Irene Edgerton, wife Of
Maj. Gen. Glen E. Edgerton, re-
tired. The general is at present
the executive director of the
Commission for the Renovation Of
the Executive Mansion.
In addition to her travels as an
Army wife, Mrs. Edgerton has.
lived in Panama, where her hus-
band was Governor, and in Shang-
hal, where the general served as
director of UNRRA for China.
Let's wander around the world
with her. She started travelling
when her father. a Kansas lawyer.
took her abroad as a young girl.
Then and there she says. "the|
travel bug bit me-" She spent her
honeymoon in Alaska, which she
compares to Norway. The only un-
fortunate part Of her stay there
was that the town burned and
with it her trousseau and wedding
presents. One of the happiest
features was being the proud pos
SCISSOR of the only bath tub on
Main street.
OF and on Mrs. Edgerton has
trooped of without the busy gen.
eral to such places as Paris, Ma
drid, Budapest or Vienna. How
ever, it was in Panama, where she
spent eight years, that provides
us with some lucrative tales.
Naturally. she was hostess to a
great many people there and in
her large pleasant home overlook
ing Balboa, she entertained Mrs.
Roosevelt for four days. She says
that Mrs. Roosevelt was q most
charming and considerate guest
and one of the busiest. From
3 In the morning on, cars were at
the door. At 4 in the afternoon,
Mrs. r. would rest Tor Is minutes,
be completely refreshed and all
ready to go in a half hour. And
at / in the morning Mrs. r. would
still be working, tipping the MY
Day" script with her secretary.
Another amusing tale that Mrs.
Edgerton tells Is Of the time the
present King and Queen Of Dem
mark arrived in Panama for al
visit. Mrs. Edgerton says that she
was questioned by an American
friend who asked: You're not 60
ing to curtsy are your" to which
Mrs. Edgerton replied. Certainly"
"Well. I wouldn't" stated the
friend.
But when the ship arrived the
situation was different, added the
diminutive Mrs. Edgerton, who
stands just over 5 feet. CAS- I was
desperately trying to manage al
curtsy on pebbly ground, the
Queen came quickly down the
gangplank and simply held out
her hand"
It's of her stay in China that
Mrs. Edgerton is very voluble.
China is the most interesting
subject I know" she said. The
decorations In her home are vivid
proof of this. Beautiful Chinese
screens. vases and tapestries are
to be seen. One of the most in
teresting curios Is an incense
burner made of spinach jade.
Another is a tapestry OF the deer
with a thousand eyes. Some Of
these aren't very DID," she apollo
