A train loaded with 500 Jewish emigrants from former Czechoslovakia has been halted for a week at Gyekenyes, a station on the Hungaro-Yusoslav border, the newspaper Uk Nemzedek reported today. Yugoslav authorities refused the emigrants permission to go to Trieste, where they had hoped to embark for Palestine, for the Jews really intended to settle in Yugoslavia, the paper said. The report said negotiations were under way between Yugoslav and Hungarian authorities to decided what to do with the emigrants, who in the meantime were not allowed to leave the train.
