- By United Press—Half of Hungary's Jewish workers will lose their jobs under a new decree from the puppet government of Premier Docme Sztojay, the Nazi-controlled Hungarian news agency said Thursday night in a broadcast heard by the U. S. foreign broadcast Intelligence service.
Will Eliminate 50 Percent
The other 50 per cent of workers will be eliminated from the Hungarian "economic life," the broadcast said. It added that the problem of maintaining production prevented the discharge of all Jewish workers from their jobs.
The newest anti-Jewish actions will be undertaken by Oct. 1, the broadcast said.
Travel Rejected
Announcement of the new decree followed official government statements that all Jews would be required to wear "distinctive signs" and that they could not travel on ships, railroads or buses without "written consent of the authorities."
The job severance decree provided that the most rapid removal of Jews would be from "the intellectual professions.". - History Unfolded Contributor
