Count Cuno Klebelsburg, Minister of Education, has become the target of attacks by anti-Semitic newspapers because of his appointment of Dr. Frederics Verzar of the University of Debrecen as head of the general biological station in Tihany.

The anti-Semitic newpapers declare that the Jewish origin of the professor should have prevented Klebelsburg from appointing him.

Discussing the attitude of the anti-Semitic press. the “Pester Lloyd” declares that the reason for their attacks is that Prof. Verzar had proved that the biological index of Hungarian blood brought out the interesting fact that it is nearest to Jewish and Russian.

This destroys the pseudo-scientific thesis of Professor Mehely. who tried to use the theory of the bio-chemical blood index to prove the natural and therefore undestroyable incompatibility between Jewish and Hungarian blood, broadcasting the conclusion that a man in whose organism there stowed one drep of Jewish blood, extending back even to the seventh generation must be considered a danger.

Steps to simplify the procedure in the Bureau of Immigration was ordered by Commissioner General of Immigration Hall.

The issuance of reentry permits to altens who desire to leave the United States temporality will be the subject of the first of a number of studies simed at simplifying the bureau’s work.

Mr. Hull is considering a tentative plan which would greatly reduce the time reauired for issuance and would also distribute the insident “paper work” more thoruchly. He believes the necesary time can be cut to about two days directly to the port of entry for the permit. instead of first to Washington.

“The new plan would be for the alien to apply directly to the Port Authoitties for the re-entry permit The facts would be vertified at the port and the request then sent to Washington. where the permit would be issued and returned to the port where the alien would call for it” the Commissioner said.
