A chartered plane, carrying 166 Jewish and non-Jewish British volunteers, left last night for Israel, the third plane from Britain carrying such volunteers during the past week. The volunteers will be integrated into the life of collectives, border settlements and other farming enterprises.
Moshe Gilboa, chairman of a special emergency committee for Israel, said that the three planes carried a total of 856 volunteers assisted by the Jewish Agency and that another 100 went on their own and were absorbed in 32 collectives. Letters received from Israel indicated that the volunteers were giving a most important service.
