In Budapest some years ago Jewish Andreas David wished to enter the University. He paid a fixer, one Stephen Karsay. who got him admitted despite a numerus clausus (enrolment limitation) ruling directed against Jews. Later Student David found that Fixer Karsay had taken a laborer named Ziesander Cripeler to a priest, had him baptized under the name of Andreas David. In spite of the fraudulent baptism certificate. Student David wanted to be listed at the University as a Jew. He did not wish to be a Christian even on paper. Last week the Budapest High Tribunal again postponed his case. Much vexed was Andreas David, for Fixer Karsay had fled to Czechoslovakia, Ziesander Cripeler had gone crazy.
