With the Greek government considering ways and means of enabling the refugees of the June 29 anti-Semitic outbreak in the Campbell to find shelter, Jewish leaders today declared that a part of any fund raised for the relief of the refugees should be reserved as a resettlement fund for families anxious to go to Palestine.

It is pointed out here that while shelter for the refugees is important, permanent homes are more essential and about $200,000 is required for decent housing.
