The largest Jewish refugee transport to arrive recently from Czechoslovakia was received here this week-end by Jewish leaders. Authorized by the Czechoslovakian Government, the transport consisted of 600 Jewish refugees, including 80 children.
The majority of the refugees are persons whose temporary Czechoslovak visas had expired. The remainder of the refugees are mostly Slovak Jews. The transport was reassigned to Linz and will proceed from there to Italian ports for embarkation to Israel.
