The largest single group of displaced Jews to arrive from Austria since last fall entered a transit camp here today. There were more than 200 persons in the group.
Most of the DP’s were in good physical condition. They said that displaced Jews in Austria fear the consequences of the withdrawal of American troops from Austria and predicted that as a result there would be large-scale infiltration of Jews from Austria to the U.S. zone of Germany in the near future.
