Newspapers report that 43 Austrian Jewish refugees who illegally entered Nice from Italy on two small fishing boats navigated by Italians have been arrested by French police. The boats were intercepted by a French coastal patrol in French waters, but the refugees succeeded in landing on French soil, after which they were rounded up by police.
