Ex-American backs Hungarian Communists in exile
A former U.S. State Department employee and his German-born wife, granted asylum in Hungary in 1954, praise Premier Janos Kadar as serving Hungary’s people. Field, now 53, works at the government printing house as a translation supervisor, while his wife assists him. The couple, who avoided trial for espionage for 50 years, discussed the anti-Soviet revolt with reporters at their home, emphasizing admiration for Hungarians and dismissing a return to the United States as unlikely. They spent the October–November fighting period in a party and government clinic for officials, where Field received treatment for a stomach ulcer.
