Ninety Jews were expelled from Moscow today and exiled to Siberia and Central Asia on a charge of belonging to the illegal organizations, Hashomer Hazair and Zionist Socialists. Fifty-five others suspected of belonging to these organizations were compelled to sign a promise not to leave Moscow and to discontinue their membership in the He’Chalutz (pioneer organization) and similar prescribed groups.
Among those who have been expelled are M. Belfer, Isaac Katzenelson, Taibl Vishnevskaya, Abraham Reisman, and Babay Levitas.
