Hungarian Parliament Takes Up Government Bill Saturday (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
The Hungarian parliament will begin consideration of the government bill concerning the modifications of the numerus clausus law on Saturday.
Several dates for consideration of the bill had been set, but each time it was postponed.
Count Klebelsberg, Minister of Education, declared that the bill represents not only his plan but that of the government. The bill has no anti-Semitic tendencies, he added, since Hungary is suffering from an overproduction of professionals. Until 1939 there will be no abolition of the numerus clausus, he stated.
