The World Agudas Israel Organization announced today that it had air shipped 35 bales of clothing and cases of food to Vienna for Hungarian Jewish refugees. It also said that it had received assurances from the Hungarian Minister to Switzerland that the Janos Kadar Government have taken “all effective measures” to suppress any anti-Jewish disturbances.

The Mizrachi Federation of Great Britain appealed today for funds to aid Hungarian Jewish refugees arriving in Vienna. The Mizrachi statement said that Jewish refugees are still coming in large numbers and that Mizrachi funds are exhausted. Mizrachi and Labor Mizrachi in Vienna have mobilized all their resources, manpower and funds for rescue and relief work, the Federation reported.
