Jewish emigration from Iran was resumed today with the arrival here of the first 70 immigrants from Teheran on an El Al plane.

The Iran Government notified the Israeli authorities that El Al planes would be permitted to land at Teheran airport for emigration purposes only. Immigration officials expressed the hope that El Al would be permitted to maintain a weekly flight from Teheran with immigrants.
