Agents release last of refugee passengers
Jersey City, NJ (UP) –
The last of the 942 refugee passengers, most of them Americans, who came in on the Swedish liner Drottningholm from Lisbon six days ago, were finally discharged from the ship last night, ending almost a week of questioning and investigation of passengers by federal agents.
The exact purpose of the extensive questioning was never made clear, but it was assumed that extreme care was being taken to assure that no Axis agents slipped into the country. Small groups were released from the ship from day to day.
