Speaker 6 (05:55):
Hephaistos calling my friends from the Kroumrof area. The borders
was hard and exhausting, but it was a success. Now
I am well and I see true freedom. Tonight, as
we promised, we are going to tell you about the
Free Europe College in Strasbourg. Like Radio Free Europe, the
college is maintained by the voluntary contributions of the American people.
(06:17):
It is for students who have escaped from the Soviet bobbit,
from the Soviet tyranny, from Soviet terror, for students who
have fled across the border and come to Germany where
they have found a climate of freedom and of learning.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Why have you turned it off?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
What I thought I heard a step on the stairs
in the hall, Yes, I did hear turn on the
lights of the latter. Quickly.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I have to tell the man who lives, Stephan, Comrade Stephan,
who was walking the streets in loneliness and in regret,
(07:02):
and who thought to call on a friend, on a comrade, May.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I come in? You know Malada?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Of course you brought her once to the university, and
her sweet young face made such an impression amongst us.
We talked of it, of you, of your lovely fiance, Malada.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Why are you here?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I told you it was a night of loneliness and
of regret. How harsh we were with Himlada, with your love,
how almost brutal, what savage blows we struck against his
sensitive brain. And I became concerned for him.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I became.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
But your young man, a man of intellect, of perception.
And see him, see his face, how he knows I lie,
how he knows. I have no concern for him, nor
pity nor rage. But you you have such emotions for him, Malada,
and love also. Then tell him, convince him, take his hand,
(08:09):
and lead him back to us with your young love
for this that one day and soil your gentle arms,
or hath to cradle his corpse tomorrow, Enric, and we
will welcome you back with such warmth, such joy.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Good night, Enrick, Malada.

and border patrols and informers and dogs wilder, and it's

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Scarf, my coat, candy bars and this take it, Genrick.
What is it the same that I have for myself?
A small bottle of liquid, a poison that is kept
here for insects and vermin. If we are caught, we
will drink it together. We will drink it, and this
way it will never separate us. This way we'll we
(09:42):
will never leave each other.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yes, the thing they had talked about for a long time.
Now decided, But how to get to freedom? No passport,
(10:08):
so they dare not trust trains nor other public conveyances.
Nothing but their feet to carry them. Two sweethearts out
for a casual stroll. So they walked proud to Klamnaux,
across the Tava River, swollen by spring rains, to Krastache
and close to the border. Now lonely path through the
mountain roads and across fields to the young Lover's.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Almost a pleasant adventure. Almost run, run.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Quickly in when the rain came, when the lightnings truck
that free back there and the thunder. I prayed for
a shelter for you, And now there's a barn. Now
there's shelter. No, no, whatever it is, Milana, No, don't move,
(11:04):
don't talk, but life see there near the wall the star,
Go back to the house.
Speaker 1 (11:12):

Speaker 6 (11:14):
I will call you and you will name.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
And I get friend of mine. And what should we
name your cold man? Want to know?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Rude Mila.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
If a stasion, shall shall we name.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Out out?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Or with this pitchfork. Now let me look at you.
Step closer to the light. Two of you, two of you.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Now we're not these.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
No, truly, we're not see then what.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Hikers?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Throw down your papers? Then, so I'll know it well.
There are no papers.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Refugees, Yes, from what terror? The government of Czechoslovakia. Yes,
I throw down the pitchfork for whatever symbol you wish
to make on it.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I am your friend. Oh great, hush, hush, now listen
to me.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yes, sleep, and at dawn I'll wake you with directions
to the border which is nearby. And there is a
guide I know who is there, and I will send
you to him. And he is a friend, and he
will show you how to get into Germany. I envy
your courage.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
All there, your arms.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Over your head. Do not fear. You are Radic the guard.
I am Erradic. Come forward.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
You are the two who slept with my friend's barn,
the pretty young girl and a young man, the refugees.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yes, he said you would be our friend, Radick show
us how we can get into Germany. And for this
we are what grateful because he was kind as you
are kind and the final act of kindness. You're under arrest, Yes,
I say it, you are under arrest.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Auto is bringing you Mona Freeman and Robert Wagner in Listen,
young lovers to Night's presentation in radio's outstanding theater of
Thrill's suspense, say half, you wouldn't buy ice cream without
(14:23):
specifying flavor.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Would you?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Of course not?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And yet many drivers get new parts for their car's
vital electrical system and never know what they're taking. They're
taking a big chance, they sure are. Half every car
has an electrical system which has been designed for that
particular make of car. When parts need to be replaced,
the wise owner will insist on original service parts exactly
like those first installed.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Like auto light original service parts for auto.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Light equipped cars right half auto light original service parts
for the coil distributors, starting motor generator and voltage regulator
are designed to work together as members of a perfect team.
No matter what make of car you own, get parts
exactly the same as those installed by the manufacturer. Then
you'll be sure of safe and efficient operation on auto
(15:09):
light equipped cars. Insist on auto light original service parts
because from bumper to tail light, you're always right with
auto light. And now auto light brings back to our
Hollywood soundstage. Robert Wagner and Mona Freeman in Elliot Lewis's
production of Listen young lovers, A true report, well calculated
(15:30):
to keep you in suspense, betrayal, escape to freedom, which
is a thing of loneliness and of sobbing and of storm.
Halted now and betrayed, made futile by a man who
had given them a night's sleep in his barn, and
(15:51):
spoke gently of refugees and of courage, and of help
to be had from his friend the guard while they slept,
informed to the man of the automatic rifle who stood
guard on the Czech German border, who was Communist.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Who was called Radik.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Lambs lost, little Lambs, to have huddled in his barn
from the storm, to have believed such as him to
come so innocent to the slaughter to Radic. And you
would kill you if you try something her her, the
pretty young face, not her, perhaps if a tear fell
(16:31):
on such a soft cheek.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Come, move, move, What do you take for the hat?
Speaker 8 (16:39):
There where there's a phone, And I call the proper authorities,
tell them Radik has snared two more.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
Mm.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
How soft you say my name?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
And without fright the thing you said?
Speaker 9 (16:55):
What thing that?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You would kill him if.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
He wants it, if he must pretend to you he
is a hero.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
He is no hero good, not a.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Hero, something else, something else. You are towered and traitor,
student who is superior to all around him, and dargoned,
and looks down upon those around him.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Upon you, little one, upon such pertinence as.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You run.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
The trick and run, run across the border into eastern Germany,
and keep running, and behind them the shelts of clamor
and the baying of dogs, and like animals hide, run
again into darkness, and under the shield of night, exhausted
sleep dawn then, and the highlands of eastern Germany to walk,
(18:05):
and the forests of Bomerwald dangerous to walk the roads
because they spoke no German, therefore easily recognized as foreigners,
easily arrested, and not dare ask for food, but walk
where wilderness is.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Wander the bogs of Turingerwald and dig for food.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Night highes fonder not.

They had lost all track of time. Some days they
covered as much as Tandler fifteen miles. Other days they
knew they were lost and had to replace their steps.
And always there was the hunger, always the feeling somehow
that the trip would never end.

of Radio Free Europe, bringing you the news of the
free world, bringing you the knowledge that you are not
forgotten and the hope of your future liberation. The voice
now of pre Czechoslovakia. This is password, little God, dear mother.
(05:47):
We know these are the worst times you have heard
to live through, but you must believe that one day
we will see you again.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
This is password.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Hephaistos calling my friends from the Kroumrof area. The borders
was hard and exhausting, but it was a success. Now
I am well and I see true freedom. Tonight, as
we promised, we are going to tell you about the
Free Europe College in Strasbourg. Like Radio Free Europe, the
college is maintained by the voluntary contributions of the American people.
(06:17):
It is for students who have escaped from the Soviet bobbit,
from the Soviet tyranny, from Soviet terror, for students who
have fled across the border and come to Germany where
they have found a climate of freedom and of learning.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Why have you turned it off?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
What I thought I heard a step on the stairs
in the hall, Yes, I did hear turn on the
lights of the latter. Quickly.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I have to tell the man who lives, Stephan, Comrade Stephan,
who was walking the streets in loneliness and in regret,
(07:02):
and who thought to call on a friend, on a comrade, May.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I come in? You know Malada?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Of course you brought her once to the university, and
her sweet young face made such an impression amongst us.
We talked of it, of you, of your lovely fiance, Malada.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Why are you here?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I told you it was a night of loneliness and
of regret. How harsh we were with Himlada, with your love,
how almost brutal, what savage blows we struck against his
sensitive brain. And I became concerned for him.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I became.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
But your young man, a man of intellect, of perception.
And see him, see his face, how he knows I lie,
how he knows. I have no concern for him, nor
pity nor rage. But you you have such emotions for him, Malada,
and love also. Then tell him, convince him, take his hand,
(08:09):
and lead him back to us with your young love
for this that one day and soil your gentle arms,
or hath to cradle his corpse tomorrow, Enric, and we
will welcome you back with such warmth, such joy.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Good night, Enrick, Malada.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Heinrich, Heinrich be laughed. Yes, what was said on the
radio the Free europe College in Strasbourg. For those who escape,
I cannot you must you will hear me?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Without you?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Then with me?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
It's not alone with me.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It is three hundred miles, three hundred miles of guards
and border patrols and informers and dogs wilder, and it's
and hunger and hide it with me, with me, genre, Yes,
but it must be now immediately. Now, get your coat,
a scarf for your hair. If you have candy Barnes, quickly, Malata, quickly, my.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Scarf, my coat, candy bars and this take it, Genrick.
What is it the same that I have for myself?
A small bottle of liquid, a poison that is kept
here for insects and vermin. If we are caught, we
will drink it together. We will drink it, and this
way it will never separate us. This way we'll we
(09:42):
will never leave each other.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yes, the thing they had talked about for a long time.
Now decided, But how to get to freedom? No passport,
(10:08):
so they dare not trust trains nor other public conveyances.
Nothing but their feet to carry them. Two sweethearts out
for a casual stroll. So they walked proud to Klamnaux,
across the Tava River, swollen by spring rains, to Krastache
and close to the border. Now lonely path through the
mountain roads and across fields to the young Lover's.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Almost a pleasant adventure. Almost run, run.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Quickly in when the rain came, when the lightnings truck
that free back there and the thunder. I prayed for
a shelter for you, And now there's a barn. Now
there's shelter. No, no, whatever it is, Milana, No, don't move,
(11:04):
don't talk, but life see there near the wall the star,
Go back to the house.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Time the cold will be born.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
I will call you and you will name.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
And I get friend of mine. And what should we
name your cold man? Want to know?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Rude Mila.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
If a stasion, shall shall we name.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Out out?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Or with this pitchfork. Now let me look at you.
Step closer to the light. Two of you, two of you.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Now we're not these.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
No, truly, we're not see then what.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Hikers?
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Throw down your papers? Then, so I'll know it well.
There are no papers.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Refugees, Yes, from what terror? The government of Czechoslovakia. Yes,
I throw down the pitchfork for whatever symbol you wish
to make on it.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I am your friend. Oh great, hush, hush, now listen
to me.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yes, sleep, and at dawn I'll wake you with directions
to the border which is nearby. And there is a
guide I know who is there, and I will send
you to him. And he is a friend, and he
will show you how to get into Germany. I envy
your courage.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
All there, your arms.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Over your head. Do not fear. You are Radic the guard.
I am Erradic. Come forward.
Speaker 8 (13:18):
You are the two who slept with my friend's barn,
the pretty young girl and a young man, the refugees.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yes, he said you would be our friend, Radick show
us how we can get into Germany. And for this
we are what grateful because he was kind as you
are kind and the final act of kindness. You're under arrest, Yes,
I say it, you are under arrest.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Auto is bringing you Mona Freeman and Robert Wagner in Listen,
young lovers to Night's presentation in radio's outstanding theater of
Thrill's suspense, say half, you wouldn't buy ice cream without
(14:23):
specifying flavor.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Would you?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Of course not?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And yet many drivers get new parts for their car's
vital electrical system and never know what they're taking. They're
taking a big chance, they sure are. Half every car
has an electrical system which has been designed for that
particular make of car. When parts need to be replaced,
the wise owner will insist on original service parts exactly
like those first installed.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Like auto light original service parts for auto.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Light equipped cars right half auto light original service parts
for the coil distributors, starting motor generator and voltage regulator
are designed to work together as members of a perfect team.
No matter what make of car you own, get parts
exactly the same as those installed by the manufacturer. Then
you'll be sure of safe and efficient operation on auto
(15:09):
light equipped cars. Insist on auto light original service parts
because from bumper to tail light, you're always right with
auto light. And now auto light brings back to our
Hollywood soundstage. Robert Wagner and Mona Freeman in Elliot Lewis's
production of Listen young lovers, A true report, well calculated
(15:30):
to keep you in suspense, betrayal, escape to freedom, which
is a thing of loneliness and of sobbing and of storm.
Halted now and betrayed, made futile by a man who
had given them a night's sleep in his barn, and
(15:51):
spoke gently of refugees and of courage, and of help
to be had from his friend the guard while they slept,
informed to the man of the automatic rifle who stood
guard on the Czech German border, who was Communist.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Who was called Radik.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Lambs lost, little Lambs, to have huddled in his barn
from the storm, to have believed such as him to
come so innocent to the slaughter to Radic. And you
would kill you if you try something her her, the
pretty young face, not her, perhaps if a tear fell
(16:31):
on such a soft cheek.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Come, move, move, What do you take for the hat?
Speaker 8 (16:39):
There where there's a phone, And I call the proper authorities,
tell them Radik has snared two more.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
Mm.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
How soft you say my name?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
And without fright the thing you said?
Speaker 9 (16:55):
What thing that?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You would kill him if.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
He wants it, if he must pretend to you he
is a hero.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
He is no hero good, not a.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Hero, something else, something else. You are towered and traitor,
student who is superior to all around him, and dargoned,
and looks down upon those around him.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Upon you, little one, upon such pertinence as.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You run.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
The trick and run, run across the border into eastern Germany,
and keep running, and behind them the shelts of clamor
and the baying of dogs, and like animals hide, run
again into darkness, and under the shield of night, exhausted
sleep dawn then, and the highlands of eastern Germany to walk,
(18:05):
and the forests of Bomerwald dangerous to walk the roads
because they spoke no German, therefore easily recognized as foreigners,
easily arrested, and not dare ask for food, but walk
where wilderness is.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Wander the bogs of Turingerwald and dig for food.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Night highes fonder not.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Good for you will have a feast here malatta under
the tree.

Shelter, warmth, food, And with my love, what more to.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
They had lost all track of time. Some days they
covered as much as Tandler fifteen miles. Other days they
knew they were lost and had to replace their steps.
And always there was the hunger, always the feeling somehow
that the trip would never end.
