Letter from World University Service providing information from two UN press releases. The first press release provides information on Hungarian refugees in Austria, specifically listing offers of asylum from various countries and status of transportation efforts. The second press release indicates that the UN High Commissioner for Refugees allocated an additional $130,000 for the accommodation and emergency needs of Hungarian refugees arriving in Austria. The second press release also notes that the UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees will report to the Third Committee of the General Assembly on the situation of Hungarian refugees in Austria and will suggest a future line of action.
