The American Red Cross will no longer transmit messages concerning visa petitions or Palestine immigration certificates to persons in enemy or enemy-held territory, it was announced last night.

A spokesman for the Red Cross said that the service was being discontinued at the request of the Office of Censorship, which feels that transmission of such messages is not practicable at present.
