Description
LaJos Kovacs, former Hungarian freedom fighter, cries as he hugs his daughter, Klara, 6, on her arrival at New York's Idlewild Airport from Budapest last night. Kovacs, now a machine designer in Mansfield, Ohio, had not seen his daughter since he fled with his wife from Hungary following the abortive 1956 revolt. Kovacs was 35 yesterday. "This is the best birthday present I ever received," he said.
