Four-hundred displaced Jews from the Stuttgart area are leaving tomorrow for Bremen, where they will embark for the United States. They will be among the first group of Jewish survivors to be admitted to the United States under President Truman’s recent directive.

An UNRRA camp has been established near Stuttgart to house prospective immigrants. During the two weeks they spend at the camp their political and moral background will be carefully investigated, it is reported here.

Carlos Warner, U.S. consul in Berlin, said today that he hoped that future transports of American-bound immigrants from the Berlin area will be larger than the approximately 100 persons due to leave here shortly. He attributed the small number in the first shipment to technical difficulties which, he said, have now been overcome.
