No Future Under Reds
There was no future for me in
Communist Hungary. I decided
to flee. figured that this could
be best done by air. But also
realized that you need at least
five men to capture a plane.
Now, this was the most difficult
part Of the coup-to get these
men. ! could not possibly place a

an unskilled worker, Balla as a

friend of mine in Budapest,
Karoly Pinter, who in turn
brought Joseph Jakaby. Both are
technical designers. Finally
Gabor Kiss joined our group
through Iszak.
For nights we sat in the fac
tory and discussed our plans.
Finally we decided to make a
grand rehearsal for the coup to
study the interior of the plane
we planned to seize. On June

Budapest to zalaegerszeg. Balla
and ISzak took a train and on
July 8 we returned by air.
No Future Under Reds
We decided to flee on Friday,

would not be so many passengers
on a day generally regarded as
spelling bad luck. We sold our
cameras, watches and clothes
and then bought tickets to Szom-
bathely, others to zalaegerszeg,
one stop later. We bought the
tickets separately, of course, not
to raise any suspicion.
When we sat in the bus taking
us from the city to Budapest

watched everybody closely to see

learned that there was a youth
rally in zalaegerszeg and we pre-
tended to be en- route there, too.
The secret police officer told me
later that this was the reason
he did not become suspicious
about the many young men in
the plane.
I had calculated that 80
minutes after the start we would
be at a place between Gyor and
Szombathely where an emer-
gency landing was impossible.
When we were south of Gyor,
I stood up and pointed to the
window: Look, two planes are
there" All passengers turned
to the window.
