A demand that Jews be barred from using railway sleeping cars is voiced in a decision adopted by the Transylvanian Party in Hungary, it is reported in Hungarian newspapers reaching here today.

One of these papers, Uj Magyarsag, carries an article complaining that “only 44 percent of the Jewish enterprises in Hungary have been completely aryanized.” The article alleges that about forty percent of all Jewish firms in the country have camouflaged themselves by appointing “dummy Hungarians” as directors or managers, while the actual key positions are still held by the Jewish owners.” The country can no longer tolerate such a state of affairs,” the anti-Semitic paper writes, calling for stricter economic measures against Jews.
