A group of 48 Indian Jews arrived here last night on a plane chartered by the Jewish Agency.

It was announced that the first planeload of Cochin Jews will arrive here February 7 and that a regular ferrying service for Cochin Jewish immigrants will be inaugurated in March, with three planes arriving monthly until all Cochin Jews who desire to come to Israel have been brought here.
