Receives
Greeting From Youth
Behind Iron Curtain
Message Is Reluyed
By Group of Refugees
Now in This Country
By Crosby S. Noyes
BY Crosby S. Noyes
Star Sfaff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower today re-
ceived a New Years greeting from
the youth behind the iron cur
tain, relayed by a group Of nine
refugees who escaped from Com
munist-dominated countries of
Eastern Europe.
The message" was a blank
piece of paper.
The leader of the escapee dele
cation, DR.. Paul F. Fabry, ex-
planned that the greeting was
symbolic of the good wishes of
100 million people behind the iron
curtain who cannot write" because
of Communist tyranny.
The nine young men. who have
reached this country since World
War II, are nearly all engaged to-
day in some form of anti-Com-
munist activity. Many of them
worked for the Crusade for Free
dom or Radio Free Europe-pri-
vate enterprises aimed at stirring
up resistance to Soviet rule in
Eastern Europe.
The group. originally scheduled
to see Gen. Eisenhower, actually
had an interview with Secretary of
State-designate John Foster Dulles.
The general, it was explained, was
tied up with with other interviews.
Dulles Sympathetic.
Mr.. Dulles, according to DR..
Fabry, was "very sympathetic and
understanding and promised that
the problems of enslaved peoples
of Eastern Europe would be con-
sidered very important by the new
administration" A formal message
from the general was not expected.
The young people of Eastern
Europe, DR.. Fabry told reporters,
live in hopes that the American
people will do something about
their slavery. They have no wish,
he declared, to "serve as cannon
fodder in the service of the So
Wet Union" A native of Hungary
DR.. Fabry has been in this country
since 1949.
Other members of the group
were Hizi Shamsi, from Albania !;
Dragomir Memoir, from Bulgaria; !;
Paul Tigrid, and DR.. Milan Ondrus,
from CZechoslovakia; Evald Roo
sare, from Estonia; Juris Purins,
from Latvia; Vytautaf Svirsdys,
from Lithuania; Mircea Carp
from Rumania, and a representa-
tive from Poland whose name
could not be released for security
reasons.

will be broadcast over the Voice

tion officials agreed that combin-
ing the institutions would:
1. Save $1,600,000 on construc-
tion costs alone.
2. Speed up the welfare build
ing program by at least two years.
3. Save substantial amounts an
nually in maintenance costs.
4. Solve one of the city's most
pressing problemS-the antiquated
and dangerous structures now
housing most of its child wards.
Community demands for i'm
provements of welfare institutions
here crystallized last spring after
The Star printed complete
analysis of the aged and over
crowded institutions with their
consequent neglect of the chill
dren.
Spurred by these demands for
reform, the Commissioners sent
a special request to a Senate Ap-
preparations subcommittee for
$4,000 to plan a new National
Training School for Girls at the
Children's Center In Laurel.
Congress approved the request,
and planning got under way, with
expectations that construction
funds would be included in the
next budget.
Request Withdrawn.
Meanwhile, the Addison COM
mittee on public works, in its first
report on the city's building needs
indicated that welfare construc-
tion should wait for more study.
The Commissioners deleted their
request for funds to start con-
struction of the new institution.
Then, Welfare Director Gerard
M. Shea got busy. He showed
that the welfare program was
the result of long study and ex-
pert advice. He submitted a 81
page explanation to special sub
committee on public welfare Of
the Addison group.
Thereafter, the special sub
committee, headed by Miles L. Co
lean, reported: "This material
substantially clarified the obscure
ties in the information previously
furnished, and has met our main
criticisms"
That report, which was sent to
the budget Office for study, recon-
approval of the whole well
fare building program outlined by
Mr.. Shea and showed the Indus
trial Home School for Colored Boys
and the National Training School
for Girls as a single institution.

The institution will house 300
boys and 200 girls-housed as far
apart as the heating lines will
allow. There will be one school

Succeeds On 40
Acre Plot

BATON ROUGE, La.-(ANP)
"A lesson in successful farming
on only 40 acres has been de-
monstrated for thousands of small
farmers by Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Foster of Bunkie, La, who were
chosen last week as "Louisiana's
Honor Farm Family of the Year"
says Agricultural Director John
w. Fisher of Southern University,
Baton Rouge, La.
other farm families honored
during Southern's third annual
State Farmers Honor Day are
Mr.. and Mrs. Marion Elmore Of
Washington, La, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee Foster Of Tallulah, La. All
three winning families received
their start through the Farmers
Home Administration which made
them a loan to buy farms of their
own.
The Fosters achieved the out
standing feat of making a good
living for their family of 10 on
just 40 acres by experimenting
their cotton crop with a year
round truck patch from which
they sell vegetables every day in
the week except Sunday.
This farmers demonstration,
says Fisher, blueprints a cropping
program which thousands of small
farmers might do well to follow.
Census figures show that while
the average size of farms operated
by white farmers in the South is
about 100 acres, the average for
colored farmers is less than so
acres.
when the Farmers Home made
me a loan in 1870" Foster said,
I'VE didn't have a thing but two
pieces of a bed and So my wife
and had saved up after years
of sharecropping."
Today, they own a modern home,
a tractor, a truck, and a car. Two
of their IL children are college
graduates and are teaching, two
are in college, and five are in
high school.
For their achievement, DR.. F. C.
Clark, president of Southern, pre-
scented them a beautiful trophy
and a certificate of honor. r. r.
Holloway of the Baton Rouge
Chamber of Commerce presented
them a set of aluminium kitchen
utensils.
The second place family received
a radio, and the third placers, a
table lamp. The event was spon-
sored by the divisions of agricul-
ture and home economics in CO.
operation with the Extension Ser
vice and the Vocational Agricul-
ture department.
