CHICAGO (UPI) — It was
truly a day of thanksgiving for
Doina Vircol, daughter of exiled
Romanian poet Vasile Post
euca.
The husband she left in
Romania three years ago when
she came to America to see her
dying father arrived in Chicago
Thursday night.
“We’re just sitting down,”
she said, “to turkey, cranberry
sauce, cheese, wine — all the
traditional things.”
Mrs. Vircol and her 4-year
old son, Alexander, fought
international red tape for a
year so she could come to the
United States to see her father,
who was dying of stomach
cancer in a Chicago hospital.
The visa was granted in late
November, 1972, and she
arrived a few days before her
father’s death.
Posteuca fled Romania in
1941 and had seen his daughter
only once since.
In granting visas to Mrs.
Vircol and Alexander, Romani
an authorities forced her
husband, Alexis Vircol, 39, to
stay behind, to insure that his
family would not defect.
Although she risked “lifelong
isolation from my husband,”
Mrs. Vircol, 37, said, she
decided not to return to
Romania after her father died.
She began a fight to get Vircol
into the United States that
would take three years to win.
Her father’s lifelong friend,
Dr. Alexander Ronnett, helped
her. So did Sen. Charles Percy,
R-111., and Sen. Jacob Javits, R-
N.Y., she said.
Romanian officials agreed in
October to grant a visa to
Vircol, a hydroelectric en
gineer. He waited for his
mother’s visa to come through
Rain brings victory
over California fires
GLENDALE, Calif. (UPI) -
Light rain brought victory
Thursday over brush fires that
ravaged 100 square miles of
southern California, but warned
of a possible worse disaster to
follow — floods and mudslides
that could engulf whole neigh
borhoods.
Worried officials scheduled a
meeting today to discuss
emergency plans to meet the
threat.
Some 4,000 firefighters bat
tled for five days against the
two main blazes that swept
from the Angeles National
Forest into suburban canyon
neighborhoods and destroyed or
damaged 43 houses, chasing an
estimated 5,600 persons from
their homes.
Preliminary damage esti
mates rose to more than S2O
million, including sl4 million in
damage to the watershed in the
major blaze, the Tujunga fire.
Helped by cool weather and
light rains, firefighters Thurs
day contained both the 46,500-
acre Tujunga blaze and the
19,500-acre Mt. Baldy fire 30
miles to the east. Both fires
were surrounded by fire
breaks, although continuing to
bum inside the perimeter.
“There are still hot spots in
the midst of both blazes,” a
U.S. Forest Service spokesman
said. “But we are confident we
can hold the lines if the
weather doesn’t change dras
tically.”

and the two left for Paris,
planning to arrive in Chicago
on Thanksgiving Day.
“He chose this day. He knew
it was Thanksgiving and he
wanted to come,” Mrs. Vircol
said.
Now, Mrs. Vircol said, after a
few days vacation, Vircol will
begin to look for work.
Vircol said in halting English
he felt “very good. I’m very
grateful toward all who helped
us,” he said.
Will he miss his homeland?
“Yes,” he said, “Maybe. But
here is better, I am convin
ced.”
Gov. Edmund Brown Jr.
declared the blackened region
on the northeastern fringe of
Los Angeles a disaster area,
the first such declaration of his
administration.
Rain falling on the steep
hillsides, denuded of brush,
runs off as flash flooding or
turns them to rivers of mud
that can swamp whole neigh
borhoods. The season of heavi
est rains begins in about six
weeks and runs for three to
four months.
