Refugees Returned to Austria amid U.S. Inquiry
Washington reports 10 Tingirian refugees sent back to Austria after alleged false intent to enter the United States. Two more were to go back as an investigation continues. Immigration officials would not identify the 10 or say if Communist links influenced the cases. Commissioner Joseph Swing said the action may follow a broader probe of some 19,000 refugees held at Camp Kilmer. Officials insisted no Communist or Hungarian secret police involvement reached the United States.
