Sixty-eight Jewish refugees, saved at the eleventh hour Wednesday from returning to Germany, prepared today to proceed to Chile with visas specifying that they are to engage in agriculture. Grant of visas by the Chilean Government was made following intervention by the HIAS-ICA, Jewish immigration and colonization society, and posting of guarantees by the Jewish Bank. Uruguay, which had originally prevented the refugees from landing on the ground that their visas had been illegally issued in Paris, has permitted the refugees transit rights.
