Barnett Janner, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, today gave the Czechoslovakian Ambassador here a list of Czech Jews who have been imprisoned by the government in Prague on charges of being “Zionists” or having been in contact with members of the Israel legation in Czechoslovakia.

Mr. Janner had met previously with the Ambassador to complain against the imprisonment of allegedly “Zionist” Jews, appealing for their release. The Ambassador had asked for a lost of such prisoners. When he received the list from Mr. Janner today, he promised to transmit the list to his Government in Prague.
