The first group of fifty refugee rabbis and yeshiva students from Poland and Lithuania to be evacuated from Russia arrived here today.

A meeting of Polish-Jewish leaders here has decided to launch a relief drive for the Jews in the ghettoes of Poland. Each contributor to the relief fund will be “decorated” with a yellow badge which he will display at the entrance of his home. The yellow badges will symbolize the solidarity of Palestine Jews with those in the ghettoes in Nazi-held Poland.
