Deportation
Hungary Makes Vague Represents

UndosirableS,

Washington, Feb. S.-Represen-
tations have been made to the state
department by the Hungarian gov
ernment concerning the manner Of
deportation Of undesirable aliens
from the United States.
The representations, which were
transmitted through the Swedish
minister here, said deported aliens
had been at such liberty aboard
vessels as to permit them to organ
ize propaganda against the govern
ments of Europe which had pro-
duced certain undesirable results
in Hungary. The state department
was asked to have aliens deported
from the United States segregated
on board vessels.
Because Of what officials describ-
ed as the "vagueness" of the Hun
garian representations, and the alb
sence of American jurisdiction over
the aliens once they leave Ameri-
can shores, it is not regarded as
likely that the state department
will find it possible to comply with
the Hungarian governments re-
quest.
