Hungary Releases
Relief Worker
VIENNA, (#*)—Israel G. Jacob
son, American Jewish relief offi
cial expelled from Hungary on
spy charges, was released by Sov- j
iet troops today and returned to
the American sector of Vienna.
Jacobson has arrived at the
Bristol Hotel, which is used by the
American army here. He had been
held by the Russians at the Austro
Hungarian border since his expul
sion by Hungary.
Jacobson was taken into custody
by Soviet border guards last night
shortly after he was freed from
a Hungarian jail and expelled
from the country yesterday. He
had been held for 12 days. When
he reached the border, a Soviet
patrol told him his papers were
not in order. U. S. officials in Vi
enna promptly asked the Russians
to release Jacobson
custody.
The 37-year-old
rector in Hungary
can Joint Distribution committee, ;
had been held incommunicado in
a Hungarian jail since Dec. 15 on
what Hungarian officials then
called “suspicion of espionage
against the Hungarian State.”
A communique from the Hun
garian minister of interior said
Jacobson had been expelled be
cause he “committed deeds violat
ing the interests of the state and
abusing the rights of foreigners
here.”
