Emperor Haile Selassie has intervened to have two Palestinian Jews who escaped from Eritrean concentration camps to Ethiopia from being sent back, Max Seligman, their lawyer, announced here.

The Jews fled the Ababa camp in February and were interned when they arrived in Abyssinia. Several weeks ago it was reported that the officials at Addiz Ababa, Ethiopian capital, had granted a British request for extradition. After cancellation of the extradition orders a special commission was appointed to study the problem.
