The 318 wandering Jewish emigrants who have been on the high seas for the past three months without being permitted to land anywhere, will reach Constanza tomorrow on a Rumanian steamer and will be permitted to land in Rumania on condition that they are to proceed immediately to their native countries, Poland and Czechoslovakia.
The Rumanian government, following an agreement with the authorities, ordered the Rumanian steamer King Carol to meet the ###hartered steamer Velos in the Greek harbor of Pireaus and to have the 318 young Jews transferred from the Velos, which flies the British flag, to the Rumanian vessel. The transfer took place under the watchful eyes of the Greek police.
The permission to land in Rumania ends the roaming of the 318 young Jews from harbor to harbor in the Mediterranean and Black seas, seeking entrance to different countries. Efforts to land were made by these wanderers in the ports of Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece, but without success.
