To CzechosIovakia
BY the Assoeiated Press

MUNICH, Germany, Sept. 26.-
The engineer and the dispatcher
of the freedom train" that
brought 81 Czechoslovak political
refugees into West Germany re-
leased huge balloons early today
carrying messages to their Com
Imunist-controlled homeland.
The balloons were launched at
2 am. from a lonely spot in North
Iern Bavaria, only miles from
the Czechoslovak border.
They were released by Engineer
Jaroslav Konvalinka and Dis
lpatcher Karl Truksa, the first Of
1000 carrying 100000 messages
to be sent up by Radio Free Eu-
rope to tell the people Of Czecho-
slovakia the true story Of the
freedom train" dash across the
border September II.
Messages Deny U. 8. Aid.
Dear countrymen," say the
messages, don't believe that any
American agents had anything to
do with our escape"
The messages said that Czecho-
Islovak government charges Amer
lean agents aided in the plot were
more in a series Of lies spread by
the Communist government.
Thirty-one CZechoSlovaks on
the train declared themselves po-
litical refugees and were permitted
to remain. Seventy-seven other
passengers who said they were
unwilling participants were re-
turned to CzechoSlovakia.
Extradition Of 81 Sought.
The Czechoslovak government
demanded American occupation
authorities extradite the 81 refu-
gees. charging them with kid
|naping and threatening to kill
the others.
The Crusade for Freedom, an
anti Communist organization in
the United States, said it had
found haven for the 81 in Canada.
Konvalinka and Truksa were the
only two of the group present at
the balloon launching.
The leaflets show pictures of
the train and some of the refu-
gees.

Fire Destroys Saints
Laundry Building

A fire on Saturday night about
1880 completely destroyed the
laundry building of Saints In
dustrial School in Lexington.
Equipment valued at approxim-
ately $4,000 was a total loss, it
is reported. The building, con-
structed of cement blocks, was
not insured and the loss of equip
ment was only partially covered
by insurance.
Cause of the fire was thought
to be faulty wiring which started
the blaze in the attic. Equip
ment in the building was two
electric ironers, electric drying
tumblers, two Bendix washers,
one Maytag, one electric potato
peeler, and one Gamer.
