A group of 210 Hungarian Jews, including 47 children, who crossed the border from Hungary into Austria Sunday en route to Israel, were carefully searched by Hungarian frontier guards before they were allowed to proceed. They were stripped and such “suspicious” materials as medicaments and fountain pens were confiscated. The party was to board an Israel-bound vessel at Naples today.
