- LONDON, Mar. 27—( AP)—The Budapest radio forecast a speeding of the purge of German-occupied Hungary's Jews and anti-Nazis today. A broadcast announced that the nation's Quisling council of ministers would meet tomorrow to promulgate decrees to bring about "radical changes in Hungary's home and foreign policy."
The broadcast, recorded by the Associated Press, said the new measures were "expected to bring about a liquidation of the destructive elements which recently have become bold in attempts to undermine the home front and Hungary's alliances." "Anti-Jewish measures will be included," it added.
Heads of Hungarian civil administrations, including the mayor of Budapest, have offered their resignations to the new national regime established when the Germans went into Hungary last week, the Swiss radio said. - History Unfolded Contributor
