Laszlo Kaczander, famous long distance walker, who set up a world record by walking from New York to Los Angeles in sixty days, will leave Chicago on Dec. 21.

Mayor Cermak will give him a letter to the Mayor of New York.

Police Chief Allman will give him motorcycle escort to the outskirts of the city.

It is too bad that the Hungarians are quite indifferent toward Kaczander's achievement, because it is only complimentary to us that a sportsman, who sets up a world record, proudly states that he is one of us.

It would be a nice gesture to have as many Hungarians at City Hall as possible to wish Kaczander luck in his difficult venture.
