From Hungary to the United States via Melbourne, Austrialia is a long road to travel to find freedom.
Last evening: just before 7 p.m.. seven members of the Hungarian Olympic swimming and waterpolo teams pulled up in a Greyhound Bus at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity
h use to begin a six day tour in the Southern California area.
Tired but tense, the group included four men and two women. The women, members of the | swimming team, will be staying ; at the Kappa Kappa Gamma | sorority house while the men will live at the Delt house. Kappa Marley Shriver represented the U.S. in swimming at the Olym-! pic and got to know the women there.
They were tired. Tired from ! criss-crossing the country for three months on a coast-to-coast tour under the auspices of Sports Illustrated Magazine.
Tense Too They were tense. Tense be- j cause they knew that the tour,
| which began in San Francisco on Christmas Eve. would be end-■ ing in a matter of days in the ' Golden Gate City.
' Then the job of placement into American society would begin in earnest.
Miklos “Nicholas” Martin is 4he unofficial spokesman for the "roup, part of a larger water \ : port group of 16 which are currently in Los Angeles.
“Nick.” in his early 20s, plays for the waterpolo team which won a gold medal at the recent Olympiad in Austrialia. He speaks five languages, having been a history of art student for four years in a Budapest university.
“I'd like to go back to school,” Nick said. “I don’t know where, but I think I'd like to go in California.
Their Character This was the line of thought which ran through the group, all of whom combined the robust solidarity of feature with the quiet st.'veness of character common to the people of Middle Europe.
Rypsv Szekelv, a cheerful dark haired swimmer, and LTati ; Szoke. blond, blue eyed and also a swimmer, are the two women in the group.
The seven also include Jands Gergely. the swimming coach; Julius Dobai. swimmer and Water Poloists Ivan Jasko and Arpad Domjan. Excent for Gergely, thev are all in their early 20s.
Coming in after two days in Las Vegas, the water polo team meets the American Olympic squad at the I^os Angeles Athletic Cluh tonight.
Jim Belsey. Stanford graduate and Sport's Illustrated representative for the tour, explained that next week they ro up for two days at Cal Poly and “then Frisco where the thins: ends.” i •lobs. Scholarships “After that comes the big problem getting them jobs and scholarships.” Belsey said.
A tour of the University hy the Knights is being arranged. I Laird Willott, Delt president, has also arranged for “Nick” . Martin to see the SC foreign student advisor.
These seven were members of the Hungarian Olympic Team i which left for Melbourne two j weeks before the bloody anti-Russian riots broke out in Buda- j pest. For most of them, the: choice to come to the United States meant leaving relatives as well as friends behind.

AMMAN, Jordan — (UP) — Jordan’s Premier Suleiman Na-hulsi said yesterday Israel bad no right to use the Gulf of Aqaba and any attempt by thf* United States to enforce Israeli freedom of navigation in those waters would be considered “an attitude of enmity” by the Arab world.

Biologist Probes Harbors In Water Pollution Study
By YVONNE PATTEN
A joutiir research b'ologist at Hancock Foundation is studying animal specimen* from Los An-peles and Long Beach Harbors. His purpose: to determine the extent of water pollution in the
areas.
Working under ?. university acquired US Public Health Service grant. Dr. Donald J. Reish is relating changes in population of marine animals to degrees of water pollution in the two harbors.
“My job is not a yes or no situation." the doctor ol marine biologv explained. He said that pollution is known to exist in the haihors. H s work, he said, concerns the amount of pollution present.
Fish Depletion
Giving an example of his work. Reish used the illustration of a certain fish in an area. He explained that if waste is poured into an area where this fish exists depletion In its population would be proportionate to the amount of waste present.
If there is an over abundance of an animal that is known to thrive in polluted conditions, the concentration of the animal also
lution. he said.
The doctor explained the effects of pollutants on animal life:
“The pollutants themselves may be toxic.” he said. “Any chemical in any waste in sufficient concentration can be
toxic.”
Destroys Oxygen
“T h e oxidat ion breakdown caused by the pollutant can deplete the oxygen in the water.” he noted. “A pollutant uses ox-vg Hkp a lusting nail does.”
Reish accredited the loss of a clam bed in the west basin of the Los Angeles Harbor to the effect of industrial wastes.
In 1951, there were 150 industrial and domestic waste discharges into the harbors he cited from a report. These are from oil refineries, fish canneries, soap corporations, shipping, domestic and military outfalls.
The ret use from fish canneries is one of the biggest sources of pollution, Reish attested. He said there is olten so much fish blood poured into the harbors from canneries that it turns the water red.
Reish said that pollution like this is concentrated in the inner
sludge here may never flow out into the sea. but remains in the recesses of the harbor.
Polluted water where boats are docked turns the paint on yachts black and even eats it off. Reish claimed.
The samples of animals and soil Reish uses in his work (he studies the chemical composition of sediment too) are obtained by lowering a bucket into the harbor from a small boat.
“About a gallon of mud is brought up. screened and preserved and we study what's retained on the screen,” explained Reish.
“Marine pollution is a relatively new field.” he said. “Far more attention has been given to fresh water, because of drinking purposes.”
“Now marine waters are more important because of a future food supply and because with

IR President Denies NSA Report in DT
International Relations Presi- j dent Glen Hollinger said yester-day that he “firmly believes that the National Students Association is of considerable value to SC.”
During the last Senate meeting he questioned NSA representative Jim Johnston along two specific lines: (1 > What projects! has NSA carried out for SC students? (2) How has NSA brought maturity to SC students in their approach toward student government?
“I feel NSA has much to offer SC and I am in accord with an active NSA program,” he said. Hollinger was not among those w’ho voted to reject the report.
As an interested party in the NSA program Hollinger felt he had the right to learn more information about it and to question the report of its activities.
Acoerding to a DT editorial yesterday, Hollinger “continually peppered the coordinator during his progress report with a demand for a specific rundown on what NSA has done for the students of SC.”
“Even though I did not receive substantial answers to either of these questions,” said Hollinger, “I do not feel that by asking them I was hampering the NSA Coordinator's report.”

JOHNSTON STATES NSA ADVANTAGES FOR TROY
Jim Johnston, National Student Association coordinator, yesterday catagorized the advantages of SC’s belonging to the nation-wide university organization.
With a membership of 350 schools of higher education, representing more than half the university students in the country, NSA affords the following advantages, according to Johnston:
(I.) A united student voice before such governmental bodies as the Senate, House of Representatives, presidential committees and various state aid national ageneies.
(2.) Cooperative intercolley^ate services such as educational travel abroad at low rates, foreign student programs and study tours in America, and a student government information service of tried and proven legislative programs.
(.3) A leadership development program on an inter-campus basis for familiarizing student officers with national education problems and methods of solving them.
(4.) Affiliation, through the World University Service, in an organization interested in improving educational standards on an international level, and in sponsoring scholarships for students throughout the world.

“Republicans face the problem of gaining the public attention before the coming election in 1958, a problem which could be very fateful,” said Alphonso E. Bell, Republican State Central Committee Chairman yesterday to the Trojan Young Republican Club.
“The law that makes the use of cross filing has definitely hurt the Republican party, hut I feel the problem can be solved by unity within the party,” Bell explained.
Bell went On to tell the audience that there are three w ays to win an election.’ “The first one is effective precinct organization, the second is a good candidate and the third is adequate financing.”
Bell closed his speech by telling TYR members that young Republicans “make up the working part of the party and that the future of the party depends on their ability and initiative.”

Provides Study
The research project, financed by federal funds from the U.S. Children's Bureau and administered by the State Health Department, provides for careful study of a group of pre-schoolers who appear to be deaf but who do not respond to present training methods.
“One of the problems that has arisen in crippled children's work,’’ Dr. Merrill explained, “is the increasingly large number of children who, when first examined, are presumed to be deaf but whose hearing mechanism is laler discovered to be unimpaired.”
Emotional Disturbances
“We think inability to hear in these cases,” Dr. Merrill said, “may be due to lack of understanding or to emotional disturbances, and is sometimes diagnosed as a type of aphasia, brain damage or mental retardation.”
The purpose of the study, the director said, is to learn more about the behavior of these young children, so that more definite diagnoses can be made and improved methods of training and treatment can be started early.

New Parking Plan Passed By State Board
SACRAMENTO — (UP*—The State Public "Works Board today approved a	million loan to
the Sixth District Agricultural Association for acquisition of land for a parking lot near the Los Angeles Coliseum.
The money, as provided for in the budget, would come from the div ision of beaches and parks. It will be used to purchase 23 parcels of real estate in an area bordered by Santa Barbara Ave.. Menlo Ave.. South Park Dr. and Figueroa St.
Donald Muchmore. an official of the district, told the board the land would provide 2200 additional parking spaces for events at the Coliseum and later at the proposed nevv Los Angeles sports arena. Only 3300 spaces are now available for the vast 103.000-seat Coliseum.
