Reports here today said 150 Jewish refugees had been driven out of Italy by troops and had arrived at the French frontier exhausted after days of exposure in the Alps. Some were taken to a Monte Carlo hospital suffering frostbite while others were reported still wandering in the mountains, afraid to go on and unable to turn back.
