While 500 Jewish refugees aboard the steamer Parita continued to defy orders of the Turkish authorities to clear the Smyrna port, two more tramp steamers laden with exhausted Jewish refugees from Czecho-Slovakia today anchored in Feniks, a small South Anatolian port on the Mediterranean, according to reports reaching here. Turkish authorities refused to allow the refugees to land and ordered their immediate departure. It was stated that three other ships were cruising in the Eastern Mediterranean, unable to land their refugee passengers.
