Prof. Nikolei Corcinschi, Rumanian Minister to London, received an Agudas Israel delegation earlier in the week, the organization announced today. The delegation expressed the hope that consideration would be given to the possibility of Jews emigrating from Rumania, particularly for those Jews who could by emigration rejoin separated families.

M. Corcinschi said he felt his government would consider the humanitarian aspects of family reunions, but the general problem of emigration was political in character. The Minister promised to facilitate cooperation between Jewish religious communities in his country and those in Britain.

Last night, the Anglo-Jewish Association was informed that Dr. A. Rosen, Rumania. Chief Rabbi, would soon come to Britain as a guest of British Chief Rabbi Israel Brodie. Dr. Rosen was recently elected to the Rumanian Parliament as a representative of the Jewish religious community.
