February 1987, William Penn Life, Page 5 The Hungarian Scene Newspaper article angers N.J. members NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — Association members here re­cently took issue with a local newspaper over an article in which the paper referred to three suspects in a Jan. 8 drug­­related arrest as "Hungarian immigrants.” The arrests were made in Franklin Township, Somerset County. Authorities confiscat­ed four pounds of cocaine with an estimated street value of $2 million. No other men­tion of the suspects Hungarian background was made in the five-paragraph article. The article drew a sharp response from local branches. In a letter to The Home News, in which the article appeared, National Director Joseph Arvay wrote: "The William Penn Association resents all Hungarians being painted with the same brush. "The Home News does not characterize . . . other ethnic groups. Why Hungarians? We Hungarians violently protest this slur and demand a retrac­tion and an apology. The William Penn Association will not idly stand by and have the good name of Hungarians every­where sullied.” A local radio station aired a similar message from Mr. Arvay. In a Jan. 16 editorial, The Home News retracted the state­ment, citing its own policy of not using "race, creed, color or nationality in a story unless it is essential.” The editorial went on to say that the reporters of the orig­inal story felt the rarity of finding Hungarian nationals as the suspects in a drug case warranted the reference. "But (the reporters) neglect­ed to tell the reader about the uniqueness or to put it in any proper context,” the editorial read. The matter was forward­ed to the paper’s ombudsman and top editors, the paper said. One of the paper’s corres­pondents even complained that "in the case under discussion there was 'no Hungarian con­nection to the story and no reason whatsoever given why their nationality should have been single out.’” The editorial further stated that it was learned the three men were actually naturalized American citizens. AHF recognizes achievements of 4 Hungarian-Americans NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ - A restaurateur, a television produc­er, a radio personality and a Nobel laureate were honored by the American Hungarian Found­ation Dec. 4 at the 25th annual George Washington Awards dinner in New York City. Receiving the 1986 awards were George Lang, a world expert on culinary affairs and "the man who invents restaurants”; Robert E. Fuisz, producer, writer and doctor of medicine; George Jelű­nek, former music director of WQXR and authority on vocal music; and the late Nobel Prize winner Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi. In name and symbolism the George Washington Award was inspired by the statue of Wash­ington erected in the City Park of Budapest in 1906 by Hungarian immigrants living in America. Since 1961 the awards have been presented each year by the Foundation. The award recogn­izes eminent contributions to re­search, human knowledge, the arts and understanding among men and nations. Mr. Lang is founder of the George Lang Corporation, an international consulting firm de­scribed as the foremost "think tank” in the food and beverage industry. He is the author of a definitive volume, The Cuisine of Hungary, and two recent books, Lang’s Compendium of Culinary Nonsense and The Cafe des Artistes Cookbook. His column, "Table for One,” has been a feature in Travel & Leisure magazine for 10 years. Dr. Fuisz has been the recipient of major awards honoring out­standing contributions to broad­cast television. He is chairman of the board of Entertainment Part­ners Inc. and was executive prod­ucer of several major recent films: The Ted Kennedy Jr. Story, The Last Days of Patton, and A Christ­mas Carol. While a resident in medicine on the Harvard Medical Service in 1967, he founded Medcom Inc., a pioneer in the use of multimedia communication tech­niques in the dissemination of high-tech medical information. Mr. Jelűnek is the host of WQXR’s nationally syndicated weekly program, The Vocal Scene, and was music director at the station from 1968 to 1984. He is a regular panelist with Texaco’s Metropolitan Opera Quiz and since 1975 has been teaching at New York University. Hungarian-born Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, who died recently at the age of 93 in Woods Hole, Mass., received the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1937 for his work in isolating Vitamin C. Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi moved to the U.S. in 1947 and became director of the Institute for Muscle Research at the Marine Biological Laboratory. In 1954 he was honored with the Albert Lasker Award for his research on heart muscle contraction, includ­ing his discovery of actamysin. Dr. SzentGyorgyi is the fifth Nobel laureate to receive the George Washington Award. Founded in 1954, the Ameri­can Hungarian Foundation is a non-profit organization devoted to furthering the understanding and appreciation of the Hung­arian cultural and historical heri­tage in the U.S. Through grants the Foundation supports programs in Hungarian studies, fellowships and research at American universities and colleges.
