MARYLAND'S GOVERNOR URGES RENEGADE PW TO COME ON HOME BALTIMORE IN- -The governor of Maryland recorded a message to a young Baltimore prisoner of p. war last night, urging him to come home.

DIMI JU 3-1761 or JU 3-1762 Pole Tells Why He Fled Reds By EDMOND LEBRETON a Pole who has lived under totalitarian domination half his life, cut all his ties and bolt freedom? Jan Hadjuklewicz did it Sept. 9 in Kangnung, Korea, and at the same time began telling why.

He has been telling more, in bits and mostly during news conferences, from Korea to Washington. He arrived here yesterday to report to the State Department. As he tells the story, love of freedom inspired him, chance played a broadcasts large part, free world radio were a goad and evidently the nationalism of oft-conquered never let him rest. When he walked away from the Communist members of a neutral nations truce inspection team and up to an astonished U. S.

major to ask for asylum, he blurted his first explanation: "It's my last chance." Hadjukiewicz is 28. He was about 14 when the Nazis, later followed Reds, took over Poland. Of unheroic medium build, blond with a prematurely high forehead, he would look at home behind a desk in an American office. He sat behind a desk in the Polish ExportImport Agency before a crack in the Iron Curtain opened for him. Hadjuklewicz is the son of peasants.

father lives off five hectares about 12 acres. But he learned languages and rose to bureaucrat's status, He says, nonetheless, he was never a Communist, never even a member of any Communist youth organization. He had never traveled outside Poland, but he said he knew that "the United States is a friend of our nation." He credited broadcasts of the Voice of Radio Free Europe for strengthening that belief. As for Russia: "From Moscow. we have known only murder, looting and si slavery.

the Soviets hate Poland and the Poles for their cultural superiority. we dream of the moment when. the agents, now lolling behind government desks, will be driven where they first came from that is, Moscow." Just before his opportunity for escape came, he got a glimpse of Russia itself. There, he told a news conference this week in Manila, he saw "the degradation of humanity and of honor." That look at slave labor camps, he said "may also have influenced my decision." Hadjuklewica has had little to say about his own feelings, except for the reiterated note of relief. He said he worried about his parents and sisters, left behind under Communist rule.

He was obviously touched by the welcome Polish Americans gave him in Washington when he stepped off his plane, evidently bewildered, waving limply for photographers. He does not even yet have a plan for losing himself in work on behalf of his compatriots: "I want to do something, but it is difficult to do.

Debated Movie Wins Good Rating By Our Reviewer By ELLIOTT CHAZE We got in at about the middle of the show and I'd planned it that way, that everybody would be too busy watching the screen to mark our arrival, Mary and I kind of scrounged down in our seats, smirking expectantly. We had heard that The Moon Is Blue was a really rugged movie and that no decent, selfrespecting person should even consider going to it. Naturally, we had to go. At one point there WAS a girl in a bathtub, a but she was pretty well hidden by all the enamel and soapsuds and you can see worse, or better, depending on how you look at it, in the advertisements of any magaeine.

This same girl, at one time or other, entered an elevator in her black underwear and shoes and hat, but she had on ca large thick coat over the underwear. And even before she put on the coat it wasn't the sort of thing that would upset you. The dialog, it is true, was what we used to call racy back in the days of bell- -bottomed pants and double-breasted vests. There were words like virgin and mistress and seduce. I do not believe these words are calculated to inflame the average person.

In point of fact I believe that if the word seduce sends you into a spasm of desire or embarrassment you're rather 8 movie loaded with both action and adult dialogue, with lines AS generally sparkling as those in The Moon. Apparently this sort of treat Is on the way. borderline case anyway and it is just as well you find out about it. The story of the movie, which follows closely the pattern of the original Broadway play, is that of a young architect who picks up a young actress in the top of the Empire State, building. He makes a play for his tions more dishonorable than not, but winds up asking her to marry him.

She says yes in the final scene. There is much sly humor in the story and some of it so sly as to be painfully "cute." For instance, after the architect has lured the girl to his apartment he goes shopping for something she can cook for supper. He turns at the door and grins: "I think I'll get us some ham and eggs, too." The teen-agers in the audience got a rousing wallop out of this, as did some of the older patrons. But I suspect most of them laughed simply to let the world know they understood the implication of wicked breakfast. I was impressed with the fact that where the entire tale unravelled" in a couple of apartments in the top of the Empire State building, you yearned for the sweeping action of a standard movie.

That's where the movies have it all over the legitimate stage. You can watch your hero roar over miles of countryside, get in all kinds of scrapes and out again, become involved with entire armies, and win his woman with more than just a passel of talk.
