The Istanbul correspondent of the newspaper Dziennik Polski, semi-official organ of the Polish Government, confirms today that the Rumanian Government is planning to repatriate Rumanian Jews from Transnistria, the Rumanian occupied section of the Soviet Ukraine.
The correspondent says that the task of transferring the estimated 65,000 Jews, who were deported to Transnistria from their homeland during the last two years, will be started immediately in order to ensure their evacuation before the Red Army reaches the area. Officials estimate that it will take 45 days to complete the evacuation.
A Nazi Transocean news agency dispatch from Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, reports that during a recent debate in the Sobranje, the Bulgarian parliament, several deputies proposed that the nationalist parties unite in preparing an anti-Jewish program.
