The United Hias Service opened a three-day international conference here today to consider the effect on migration of the termination of the United States Refugee Relief Act at the end of this year and to plan implementation of the program for moving 1,000 North African Jewish families to Brazil over a two-year period.
United Hias service country directors for 14 countries of Europe and members of the United States executive of the migration organization are at the parley. Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek himself issued the order giving the United Hias the right to bring the Jewish families from North Africa. The only condition on their coming is that they may not settle in the larger cities of the country.
