David Ben Gurion, chairman of the executive of the Jewish Agency, has arrived here from London reportedly in connection with the recommendation of the Anglo-American inquiry committee that 100,000 Jews be transferred to Palestine immediately.
Ben Gurion, who plans to spend about two weeks in the United States before returning to either London or Palestine, told reporters that although the Jewish Agency has not taken any stand on the inquiry committee report as a whole, it was chiefly interested for the moment in securing the immediate transportation of the 100,000 Jews.
