NEW YORK. Jan Presi-
dent-elect Elsenhower took time out
for New Year a with his family to-
day after voicing the hope that 1963
will bring peace to the world.
Just before closing up shop for
the holiday. Elsenhower issued a
statement assuring those behind the
Soviet Union * iron curtain that his
administration will not forget them
A delegation of refugees from
eight iron curtain countrle* had de-
livered what they described a* a
"symbolic message" from the youth
of those nation*.
The “message** was a blank piece
of paper. Dr. Paul Fabry, former
member of the Hungarian parlia-
ment. said the blank sheet symbol-
ized "the good wishes of 100 million
people behind the iron curtain who
are unable to express their views."
Fabry said those people do not
want "to become cannon fodder for
the 8oviet army, but are potential
allies of the United 8tates."
