I doubt if. notwithstanding this enormous publicity. a sufficient number of people realize that the prime mover in the rescue of Hvasta. indeed for a long time the only American who concerned himself with Hvastas fate. was PETER RODINO. As a colleague of Mr. RODINO. however. I have had an unusual opportunity to know how much Mr. RODINo did in this case and also why he did it. As we all know know. John Hvasta was the son of naturalized American parents of Czech birth. A veteran of World War II. during which he had fought valiantly for the preservation of the democracy of the land his parents had adopted. Hvasta was in Czechoslovakia after the war on a visit. when he was arrested by the Communists as a spy.
