Father Walter M. Ciszek, 58, a native of Shenandoah, Pa., had spent 23 years in Russia most of that time in Siberian prison camps, after his arrest on spy charges in 1940. He had been ruled legally dead in 1947, and it wasn’t until eight years ago that his family knew he was still alive. MARVIN MAKINEN, a former Fulbright scholar from Ash- bumham, Mass., had served two years of an eight-year sentence for espionage. He had been ar rested in mid-July, 1961, on charges of collecting "intelli gence information" while on a car trip through Hungary, Czechoslovakia and the Ukraine. The priest and student had been exchanged for Ivan D. Egorov, 41, and his wife, Aleksandra, 39, who were ar rested in July on charges of conspiring with Soviet military intelligence to obtain U. S. military secrets. Egorov was an employee in the personnel section of the United Nations. AFTER FATHER Ciszek’s plane landed at New York’s Idle- wild Airport, the priest was met by two of hi3 sisters — Mother Mary Evangeline, of Reading, Pa., a member of the Bernard- ine Order of St. Francis; and Mrs. Helen Gearhart, of Wash ington, a nurse. Young Makinen's parents and eight - year - old stepsister, Kathy, were on hand to greet ( him. THE JESUIT was attired in a drab green reversible rain coat and a shoddy, dark gray suit. As he came along the airway apron, newsmen called out "Father!" and he broke In to a smile. "The last time I was called that was in 1941,*’ he said. Several hours later, Father Ciszek said Mass at a small chapel in the New York editor ial offices of America, nation al Catholic weekly magazine. Attending the Mass were his sisters and a small group of clerical friends and associates. FATHER THURSTON Davis, editor - in - chief of America, acted as a buffer between Father Ciszek and the press. The two had been seminarians together at the Jesuit House of Studies in Wemersville, Pa., in 1930. Although Father Davis kept newsmen away from the ex hausted priest, he commented freely about his guest. When they were in the seminary to gether, he said, Father Ciszek had been a fine athlete, wiry and strong, greatly gifted, charming, friendly and skilled at repairing old cars. "We were all tremendously concerned what our first im pressions would be," Father Davis commented. "Would he be in good health and spirits? But any apprehensions we had were dispelled when we saw him. He told us he had never had a sick day in all those 23 years, despite the bitter cold of Siberia." Father Ciszek disclosed that after spending five years in pri son following his arrest in 1940, he worked for a decade in Siber ian mines. After serving the 15- year sentence he was released fromcustody, but was not al lowed to leave the country. He then went to Abakan near the border of Mongolia to work as a locksmith. OF POLISH descent, Father Ciszek was born in Shenandoah in 1940, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Ciszek. He was one of 11 children, seven boys and four girls. Two of his sisters are nuns in the Bernadette Order of St. Francis. After attending St. Casimir’s School, he entered the Seminar, of SS, Cyril and Methodius at Orchard Lake, Mich., and five years later decided to join the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). His education continued at Werners- ville and Woodstock (Md.) Col lege, In 1934, Father Ciszek was sent to Rome to begin his study of theology. He joined the Byzantine Rite and was ordained in 1937. A year later, he was assigned to a parish in Poland. AFTER HIS arrest by Soviet authorities near the Polish border, no one in his family heard from him for 15 years. News that he was still alive came to Mother Mary Evange line in a letter at her convent in Reading. She told the other members of the family, Includ ing Sister Conrad, who last year celebrated her 50th anni versary as a nun. During a press Interview at the airport Father Ciszek used his English haltingly. In his 23 years inside Russia, he had sel dom spoken English. Father Edward McCawley, a friend, served as interpreter when re quired. THE JESUIT said his relat ions with the Russian people had been very friendly. Asked about religious free dom in Russia, he replied: "There was religious freedom in churches allowed by the state.’’ Father Ciszek arrived back in the U. S. only hours before a niece, Theresa Balczuk, 21, was to marry James McNamara, 25, a public relations man, at the Immaculate Conception church in Hartford, Conn. The young couple had hoped the priest would be able to officiate at their wedding, but they were to be disappointed. Father Ciszek called his niece to say: "I give you both my bless ings. I am very sorry I can not come to the wedding, but I am tired, exhausted, after my long trip.*’ AMERICAN INCLUDED Council Session Includes Laymen VATICAN CITY (NC)—Nine laymen, including an American, have been invited to attend the second session of the ecumeni cal council.
