Restrictions on Jews was one of the demands voiced today at a great mass meeting under the auspices of Turul, the federation of rightist hungarian deputies, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the revolution for Hungarian independence, according to the Havas News Agency.
Ten thousand Hungarian Nazis staged a wild demonstration in the streets, Havas reported, causing mounted police to charge into them and to mobilize reinforcements throughout the capital. Groups of several thousand Nazis paraded behind pictures of their leader, Major Ferenc Szalasy, and distributing handbills with the words, “Szalasy 1938.”
