The fate of Jewish refugees en route from Germany to Paraguay, who are scheduled to arrive here within the next few days, has not yet been decided, officials of the Jewish Immigrant Aid Society announced today. The Paraguayan Government, it has been reported here, has decreed a ban on Jewish immigration but officials of the immigrant aid society assert the Government may except from the ban persons prepared and qualified to work as agriculturalists. A Berlin report that a group of 250 refugees from Germany, bound for Paraguay, had been sidetracked in a Buenos Aires prison, was termed incorrect.
