The abolition of numerus clausus obtaining at Hungarian Universities is now being contemplated by Premier Julius Gomboes, the press here forecast yesterday.

An effort to secure confirmation from government circles elicited the information that the government is planning to further reduce the stringency of the numerus clausus law, but not its complete abandonment.

The reason given for the mitigation planned is that those studying abroad, export Hungarian currency with damaging results to national finances. The acceptance of larger numbers of students in Hungarian universities will prevent the export of money, they hold.
