WASHINGTON, (P)—The state department has banned travel by Americans to communist-run Hungary and is reported considering further actions. These include the possibility of closing Hungarian consulates in New York and Cleveland.
The travel embargo was announced late yesterday in a stinging note of protest against the treatment of Americans in Hungary. The state department made no estimate of how much effect this order might have on Hungary.
It reinforced a demand for the prompt release of Robert A. Vogeler, an American Communications official who has been held incommunicado by the Hungarians for more than a month. Officials said the note applied equally to the reported arrest last week in Budapest of Israel Jacobson, head of the Hungarian office of the American Joint Distribution committee.
The note charge Hungary with violating a 1926 commercial treaty by refusing U. S. consuls the right even to talk with Vogeler and added that this government is "giving urgent consideration to such further measures as may be appropriate" unless the issue is settled promptly and satisfactorily.
