A total of 161 Jewish displaced persons were scheduled to arrive here tomorrow aboard the U.S. Army transport General Black which is bringing 813 DP immigrants to the United States as the first contingent of the 205,000 displaced persons who will enter this country under terms of the Displaced Persons Act of 1948.
