Two Jewish physicians who operated on Nazis desiring to change their appearance so they would look like Jews, have been fined 1,000 florins each by a Hungarian court for failure to register the American dollars which they received in payment for the operations.

Dr. Bela Balough has been sentenced to a prison term of 15 years for torturing Jews and communists in 1920 following the suppression of the Hungarian Soviet Republic set up under the leadership of Bela Kun.
