The British authorities today granted a navicert for the shipment of anti-typhus serum from Argentina to the Jewish ghettos in Poland, it was announced here by the Polish Government. Shipping of the serum, which will be supplied by the Federation of Polish Jews in Argentine, is expected to begin sometime this week, the announcement said.
Reports reaching here today from Teheran, Persia, disclose that two transports of bedding, warm clothing and canned food have reached the Soviet Persian frontier en route from Australis to the sections of Soviet Russia where Jewish and Polish refugees from Poland are concentrated. The shipments were dispatched by the Australian Red Cross for distribution among refugees from Poland now in Soviet Uzbekistan.
(Refugees from Poland now in the Soviet Union will soon receive highly nutritive dried soups developed by the Bureau of Home Economics in America, it was announced last night in Washington. Manufactured by private concerns, the soups are now being bought by the Agricultural Marketing Administration. Because of war-time restrictions, it could not be stated when the food will be shipped or how much would be sent. It was indicated, however, that the quantity would be sizeable and would constitute the first in a series of such shipments to be undertaken as part of lease-lend operations.)
