Another planeload of Russian Jews–the fourth in a week–landed at Lydda Airport this afternoon. The chartered El Al jet brought immigrants from Moscow, Riga, Tzernovitz and Leningrad who were picked up at Vienna. Officials of the Absorption Ministry were at the airport to greet the newcomers and dispatch them to absorption centers all over the country. The number of today’s arrivals was not disclosed.
