The first group of 62 Jewish orphans from OSE homes in France will sail for the United States this week, the offices of the organization here announced today.

The children, who are coming to relatives, will leave from Marseilles. Their passage was financed by the Joint Distribution Committee and the HIAS. Although none of them is over 18 years of age, most were in Nazi concentration camps and narrowly escaped being deported with their parents to death camps in Poland.
