Hungary Opens
Drive to Attract
u. S. Tourists
BY the Associated Press


Communist Hungary is open
ing a drive to attract more
American tourists. The cam
paign may mark the beginning
Of a new chapter IN United
States Hungarian relations.
Hungary's Washington legE
ton was authorized to issue
visas to American tourists with
out delay, a legation spokesman
said today.
The main attraction is not
the tourist, but his dollar, State
Department officials cautioned.
Nevertheless, it is believed
here that the Hungarian regime
has more on its mind than the
badly needed hard currency.
Budapest may anticipate that
the foreign policy review being
carried out by the Kennedy adj
ministration could change the
United States position toward
Hungary.
United States relations with
Hungary have been chilly since
Russian forces crushed a re-
volt there in 1856 and installed
q puppet regime.
Charge D'Affaires Thor
zador said that starting March
IS the Hungarian legation will
issue visaS in two or three days
time. This is a major break
with the general practice Of
Communist countries, whose
diplomatic missions must refer
visa applications to their gov
ernments and a decision is un-
likely before three weeks.

The press agents-Norris

JohanSson replies to it. They
hold press conferences but

lingo reads books, and so

These are businessmen. If

Cohn and Fugazy will take
$500. 900: Teleprompter Corp.

owners will take the rest
about 81 million.
Today, Johansson has the
sharpest eye I've seen. He
aims for small targets. He
has a Swedish device, called
a Slungboll. 1t is a loose bag
Of leather, about the size of
a mans head. 1t hangs two
feet on a piece of chain, at
eye level. When hit, it
bounds erratically. I saw
lingo hit that thing with
either hand for 10 minutes
without missing. Later, he
hit the heavy bag with an
overland right and it tilted
halfway to the ceiling.
There is no contract for
'another match. lingo won
the first by a knockout;
Floyd won the second by a
knockout. The man who
wins this one stands to keep
the title for a couple of
years and make some easy
money.

The fight is between the

The two men at the top

Patterson, mild-mannered

Johansson is still singing

No one in motion pictures

THE PROBLEM
Abigail CT I want
more than o roof and three
meals, I'd better take Q Job.
Wallace G.. - She should
be grateful to have no wor-
rieS about food and shelter.
THE DETAILS
Abigail G.-I grew up In
an impoverished home. We
were q large family, and my
father was in poor health
and could only take part.
time jobs doing light work.
So, we were on relief most
Of the time.
When Wallace came along,
I married him fast. clad to
get out Of the house and give
my parents one less to worry
about. I was only ~. That
was 30 years ago, but ] still
haven't known what 1t
means to be more than one
step ahead Of eviction.
Wally is Q house-painter
and his work Is seasonal. In
between he makes reckless
deals with loan companies,
so by the time the money
starts to come in. most Of 1t
Is pledged.
I'm very despondent about
the future. ] see no hope Of
change In our financial con-
dition. I'm thinking Of TAX
ing o job working evenings.
wallace G.-Abby should
appreciate three square
meals Q day and . roof over
her head because she knows
how m uch worse things
could be. Even though it's
feast Or famine with me, I've
always been able to provide
the necessities.
It hasn't been easy. I
only know the small-fry con-
tractors and ] just get called
for the jobs that need an
extra man. So I'm fair game
for the loan sharks, when
ever our bills pile up or we
need something In Q hurry.
II she wants to take Q
job for luxuries, that's UP
to her, as long as she doesn't
neglect the children.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
It takes little Imagination
to sense the amount Of nag
ging that Abigail must have
directed toward Wallace dur
ing the 80 years in which
he failed to better her lot
in life to any noticeable de-
gree. Perhaps this contri-
buted to the "block" which
kept Wallace from hustling
to improve his job standing.
Apparently, Abigail mar
ried to get away from her
parents home. To put the
best possible face on things
now, let's assume that some
where along these 30 years
love has crept in. At any
rate, these two are looking
ahead.
We must side with Abigail
In feeling that there's more
to life than the food and
shelter.
Wallace is unimpresSive
with his exhortation to be
satisfied.
Hope to Abigail is q thing
with q few more dollars per
week attached. That evening
job may start to spell 1t
out.

Did Betsy Ross really make the

are not quite sure.
The first public assertion that
she did appeared in q paper read
before the Historical Society OF
Pennsylvania in March Of 1870
by her grandson, William J. Can:
by. But Mr.. Candy later found
no official documents Of any ac-
ton by Congress on the flag be-
fore June IA, 1777.
Betsy's own story, related by
her daughter, was that George
Washington, along with Congress
sional representatives Robert
Morris and George Ross, visited
Philadelphia in June Of 1776,
showing her a sketch Of the flag
and asking her to make one.
