YOURTELNO 77: PHILHARMONICA HUNGARIA.
WE HAD MISGIVINGS OVER THE VISIT OF THIS ORCHESTRA AS 23 OF ITS MEMBERS OUT OF A TOTAL OF 92 STILL POSSESS SOVBLOC NATIONALITIES. HOWEVER, IN VIEW OF THE STAGE REACHED (WHICH HAD NOT BEEN MADE CLEAR TO US) AND THE FACT THAT THE FRG HAS PROVIDED 21 OF THE 23 WITH TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, WE ARE PREPARED IN PRINCIPLE TO ADMIT THEM, THEY WILL OF COURSE BE SUBJECT TO THE USUAL INDIVIDUAL CHECKS. WE MUST HOWEVER MAINTAIN THE BAN ON BOGAN (RUMANIAN) AND VIRAGH (HUNGARIAN).
