Fewer Hungarian Jews
Are Arriving in Austria
VIENNA 'JTA)—The stream
of Hungarian Jewish refugees
arriving in Vienna has virtually
dried up. Where the number of
refugees averaged several hun-
dred persons daily in the spring,
it is currently about 20 a day.
As a result the Hungarian
Jews have left the two transient
cetters in this city, returning
the Rothschild Hospital and the
Arzberg School buildings to
about 1.600 aged and sick Jews
who will remain there until they
are physically in condition to
proceed to Israel.
