The Rumanian Government today announced that Jewish lawyers who were members of the bar on September 15, 1936 would be reinstated “provided that they can prove that they had practiced for three years.”

The Bucharest radio today reported that the Rumanian Government has asked the International Red Cross to investigate reports reaching here that Rumanian Jews deported from northern Transylvania to Germany, Hungary and other occupied territories, as well as Rumanians conscripted by Germany and Hungary for forced labor, are in danger of being “annihilated.”

At the same time, the Foreign Office asked the Swiss Government to inform Berlin and Budapest that Rumania will take reprisals against German and Hungarian nationals living in this country if the Jews are harmed.
