PARIS (P) - When I opened
the door of my room at the hotel
here, a big, powerful man with
piercing and compassionate eyes
smiled and said in a surprisingly!
gentle voice:
"I am Stephen Dinka."
This was the man with whom I
was to try to steal a beautiful
Hungarian dancer from the Com-j
munists.
Dinka handed me long memor-
anda and a lengthy personal note
from the Free Press in Detroit,
Rescue Plan
Although he had been almost
sleepless for close to 72 hours,
Dinka spoke clearly and concisely
of our plan to rescue Emese
Szklenkay, the 20-year-old sister
of Dinka's wife.-
Other than the Communists,
time was our biggest enemy.
The girl's cryptic letter mailed
from Paris to the Dinka home in
Ann Arbor, had said that her trav-
eling Hungarian national dance

group was going to northern
France, but would be back in Paris
Sept. 19-21.
This was already Tuesday, the
18th. Our task was to find the
troupe, check its movements and
devise a scheme, with several
backup plans, to help Emese flee.
First we tried the police.
Alien Registration
Dinka said, with me translating,
that we were looking for a rela-
tive. He had noted that when he
himself registered at the hotel he
made out a required alien regis-
tration card intended for the po-
lice. Could such cards be checked
for a name?
A typical French shrug and our
friendly little inspector said,
"three ... maybe four days?"
We bailed out, disappointed at
our first failure.
Calls to several French govern-
mental offices proved fruitless as
did Dinka's call to every Hungar-
ian-sounding organization in the
telephone book.
That night we hailed a taxi and
careened, as only Paris taxis can,
off to search. I know Paris and
I know where the young people
and artists and tourists hang out.
But it was late when, in front of
the Union Nationale des Etudiants
de France in the student sector,
Dinka spotted a batter Bulgarian
bus loaded with even more bat-
tered luggage.
The Bulgarians spoke only their
own language, but I said over and
over, "Hungarian . . . Hongrois,"
and - with arms akimbo and a
stamped foot -- turned out a sort
of gypsy buck and wing.
One Bulgarian nodded, got out
a card and pointed to it. "Hotel de
la Paix," it read.
To our utter dismay, we found
at least 20 hotels by that name in
the telephone book. Before giving
up for the night, we prowled
through half a dozen Hotels de la
Paix without luck.
Next morning at 6:30 we had a
breakfast conference, feeling the
intense pressure of our ever-short-
ening time. It was Wednesday,
Sept. 19, first of the days men-
tioned in Emese's letter.
EMMEN
At 8:30 a.m. we were back at
the first Hotel de la Paix. A wo-
man said the Students' Union gen-
erally handled touring cultural
groups. I asked casually if she'd
call and find out where the Yugo-
slav, Bulgarian, Iraqui and Hun-
garian dancers were quartered.
She cheerily called, and while our
excitement mounted, routinely ob-
tained all the addresses.
The Hungarians were at the
College Neederlains. I knew the
place -- a complex of buildings on
the southern outskirts of Paris
where foreign students live in dor-
mitories built by their govern-
ments.
Casual Questions
At 10 a.m. I was asking careful
but casual questions of a gate-
keeper at the College Neederlains,
who said the Hungarians had gone
sightseeing and would not return
until late that evening.
We went, too. The Eiffel Tower,
the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre,
the Champs-Elysees, every tourist
attraction, searching endlessly

without even stopping to eat. We
even tried the big restaurant where
students and cultural groups eat
cheaply on official meal tickets.
But at nightfall we were back at
the College Neederlains.
With a French friend who had
volunteered his car for the even-
ing, we parked in a good position
to get away in a hurry and yet
keep the big walled dormitory
complex in sight.
Locked Gate
Dinka took up his vigil, pacing
before the huge iron gate leading
to a courtyard. It was closed and
locked, but a small arched gate
next to it was open.
It was bitter cold and it rained.
My friend lent Dinka a raincoat,
but without warm clothing and a
hat he was quickly almost blue
with cold.
Hour after hour he paced., like
a tiger, up and down the tree'lined
boulevard, never far from the little
iron gate.
It was almost exactly 1:30 a.m.
when he heard Hungarian voices,
coming from a nearby subway. It
was the dancers, chatting about a
ballet they had seen, hurrying
along in the cold rain!
Dinka Helpless
Desperate to seize Emese and
run, Dinka was helpless as the
group strode past in the darkness
and vanished into the courtyard.
Emese had passed within a few
feet of him. But partly because
of the night, partly because the
dancers were muffled in collars
and babushkas, he had been un-
able to recognize the beautiful
girl he had last seen when she was
13.
For his sake, I tried to hold
down my tears as we drove away
with this great, exhausted man
collapsed silently in the back seat.
Next . . . Our last chance comes.
