    3. The Bee Danville Virginia Feb. 21, 1922 HUNGARY FEELS U.S. RESTRICTION Budapest, Feb. 20 The fate of HUNGARIAN immigrants who are being turned back at Ellis Island because they exceed the quota of admissions permitted by the American government, is giving great concern to the immigrants relatives and to the public. The articles of the Magyar Nepsza Va., a Hungarian newspaper published in the U.S. describing the despair and sufferings of these unfortunates, are being reproduced locally. Newspaper editorials urge Hungarian government to take up the matter. Serious charges are made against the Hungarian Emigration Bureau for permitting the emigrants to go to America in the face of the fact that they knew the quota had been exceeded. The relatives of these emigrants are preparing an appeal for help to President Harding. cheryl BALOG wenberg
