A Jewish delegation headed by Chief Rabbi Alexander Shafran, today submitted to the British mission here a petition signed by the heads of 90,000 Jewish families in Rumania, demanding abolition of the Palestine White Paper.
The petition also calls for free immigration into Palestine under the control of the Jewish Agency and establishment of a Jewish state. It is written in Hebrew, English and Rumanian. A representative of the mission promised to forward the petition to the Anglo-American inquiry commission and to inform the British Government of its contents.
