HUNGARIAN SKATERS RUN AWAY

FLIGHT HOME FROM OSLO EVADED (Rec. 7 p.m.) OSLO, February 24. Two minutes before their departure for home two Hungarian skaters, Kornel Pajor and Janos Kilian, and their trainer, Wazulek, dashed from the airways station and . disappeared into the streets of Oslo, they had just received their passports before entering a bus for the airfield. They grabbed their suitcases and ran. The rest of the team left by aeroplane for Hungary, according to programme. Pajor, who won the world speed skating title last week-end. was later seen training at the stadium, but no trace has yet been found of Kilian, who is said to be engaged to a Norwegian girl in Oslo.
