Rumanian Jewish deportees and political refugees abroad seeking to return to their homeland are being delayed by Rumanian foreign legations, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Rumania today declared in a formal complaint submitted by Foreign Minister Gheorghe Tartarescu.

Charging discriminatory treatment, the memorandum says that applications by non-Jews are processed on the spot, while Jewish applications are forwarded to Bucharest. In Stockholm refugees have been waiting for a year for permission to enter their homeland, the Federation asserted.

The OSE is conducting a nation-wide census to determine the number of Jewish orphans and persons suffering from tuberculosis in preparation for a largescale program of relief and medical care, it was announced here today.
