Theodosathos is a prominent Greek businessman who has resided in Rumania for many years.

The Bukarester Tageblatt, reaching here today, reports that the commander of Alba-Julia, Rumania, has begun to publish lists of Jews who “desert” from compulsory labor and disappear from the labor camps. The first list contains 238 names, the Nazi paper says.
