Original print is damaged. Photograph article dated January 26, 1955 partially reads, "A former German aeronautical engineer, who twice escaped death while crossing the Iron Curtain, today is looking for a job 'just to keep alive.' 'Any work at all - drafting, designing - as long as it is connected in some way with my former occupation,' says Hans Klebow, 42, an aero-dynamic engineer in Germany. Klebow has his way barred from major aircraft industry positions, because of his present citizenship status. American air plants only hire citizens, and he has another two years to wait for his naturalization papers."
