Italian police last night intercepted near the port of Ostia a party of about 100 DP Jews who were apparently preparing to run the Palestine blockade.

The police caught the Jews entering rowboats which would have taken them to a small vessel lying offshore. The would-be immigrants were ordered back to their camps.
