Gwertzman: Barladeanu will be the highest ranking Communist official to visit the United States on a purely bilateral visit since Yugoslav President Josef Broz Tito came in 1963. At the threshold of this significant event. it is my duty to recall that the major complaints of the Transylvanian Hungarians were never remedied. While Bishop Aron Marton was set free from house arrest and visa requirements with Hungary were abolished. the county reorganization decree created at least as much discrimination as it had removed. While Party Secretary Ceaucescu and the spokesman for the party told us about the consideration of ethnic and geographic conditions in designing the county limits. today. the purely Hungarian county Hargita. the heart of the Szekely area is ruled by Ladislau Branis. a Rumanian Communist official who now. according to recent Rumanian practice is both the party chief and the chief administrative officer. It is true that the Hungarian districts of Trei ScauneHaromszekwere detached from Brasov where they were assigned in 1960. but they were not reattached to the Szekely area of Hargita County but form a county by themselves.
