Hunguriuns Toast
Absent Imperial
By MORRIS sIEGEL

THEY KEPT SAYING 1t not fit night out for
beast last night, but only the beast listened
Imperial, the four-legged visitor from the Peoples
Republic remained wisely sacked out in the Zsa zSa Gabor
suite Of the international Village at Laurel while
full Of drinking proletariats toasted him in absenta
with glasses Of Barack Palnka at the Hungarian Lega
ton.
Barack PaIinka it might be necessary to point out,
Is nothing except Kcarab Aknap which nothing except
Barack Panka spelled backwards 1t is lethal apricot
brandy devhy hard to pronounce veteran Buda
pest drinkers rarely try it any more.
Instead they simply sashay to their favortte Buda-
pest tavern and excaim 'agdalene, make
ere" and they invariably end up with shot Of Barack
Palinka for their five forint.
WELL, IT WAS "egeszeSzeere" from the moment this
woudbe capitalist pierced the iron curtain of alcohol at
the Legation and it continued that way most Of the
evening
Barack Painka was introduced the national drink
ing pasme by Mihaly Golub legation attache who had
taken crash course in horse talk John Schapro, the
Laurel commSsar who Is sponsoring Imperiars visit to
neighborhood quickly seconded the idea This was
sufficient to make it official.
Mr.. Schapro suggested 1t would be wise to take stab
at the pate and also the marnated mushrooms which
floating around in Of sour cream in the win
ner's circle.
Mr. Schapro who should know better refused to con-
eede that what he chose to refer to pate nothing
than chopped liver woefuly undiSgsed no Balt-
morean, especially Mr.. Schapiro could ever mistake
for anything else
Regardless of the nomenclature it was winner. SO
were the marinated mushrooms
CoMRADE GoLUB a pleasant little with fine
of public relations, Sensed it about time some
body started doing something other than compliment the
liquid and non-kuid spread and this was how the con-
necon was finally made with Charles Hanah the Hun
garian racing director
Comrade Hajnah who looks like Don Ameche would
look out Of shape allowed how it pleasure to be
here in company with great stae-owned horse OF In
perials class.
He is our countrys finest athlete" he said through
Golub who served interpreter Imperial as matter
Of fact Of two finest athletes The other Is
Laszo Papp, boxer"
There was some indecision as to what Papp had done
to achieve greatness. He had either three Olympic
middeweght championships one representative OF the
Peoples Republic thought three European titles as an
other remembered.
But there was no dissension about the accomplish
ents Of Imperial winner of IA of Is races His father
was better" said Hannah HE 10 Of H. also as j.
year-o but broke his leg in the 18th and he does
not race any more"
nPERIALS BID FOR the $4,000 first prize in the
Internaonals $4,000 jackpot poses problem for the
staff assigned by the Peoples Republic to handle the
horse Naturally they supposed to turn the money
over to the racing commssar in the unlikely event I'M
perial bests Kelso Mongo and the other
The Russians evidently not briefed in this area
when zagreb earned $4,000 for the Kremn two years ago.
The Soviets unloaded the loot at nearby Maryland
department store
Zacharias Aperianov Imperiars trainer thought his
S-year-od would not be disgraced Monday but wstfuy
wished he could be saddling Knscem instead klnscem'
he said raced 81 times and won every time"
do you have anything in America with record like
thisp"
Why certainly the Harlem GlOberotters and Antonino
Rocca.
