The French Government is inclined to hush up the “Korff Affair” and it is expected that Rabbi Baruch Korff, head of the American Political Action Committee for Palestine, will be released shortly, possibly this week, it was learned here today.

Physically weakened by an eight-day hunger strike in protest against his arrest in an alleged plot “to leaflet bomb” London from the air, Rabbi Korff still insists that the “British Nazi Party” is responsible for circulation of the report of the plot, the existence of which he denies. He called off his fast Monday night. Meanwhile, the American Embassy has made no official move in his behalf.
