Among the 8,000 French deportees and war prisoners who are being repairiated daily, there has not been, so far, a single Jew, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency was told today by Mme. Andre Kahan, an assistant chief of the medical center set up to aid the returning victims of the Germans.

On Friday, Henri Frenay, Minister of Deportees and Prisoners of War, told a press conference here that “my department has no knowledge of the return of any racial deprtees.” He added that deportees liberated on the wastern front are not being admitted to France if they are citizens of Eastern European countries, unless they resided here at some time.
