The I.R.O. should provide transportation services to displaced Jews going to Israel for settlement, I.R.O. director-general William H. Tuck believes, a representative of the World Jewish Congress revealed here today after a conference with Tuck.
The W.J.C. representative stated that the director-general estimates that some 50,000 DP’s will receive some I.R.O. service in 1949 if service is resumed for Israel-bound refugees. A final decision is expected January 25 when the I.R.O. board is scheduled to meet.
