Some 530 Jewish refugees from Soviet Germany will be flown out of West Berlin to camps in Westphalia, Hesse, Wuerttenrberg and Baden, it was announced here today. Most of the refugees, half of whom come from East Berlin, want to leave Germany.
Meanwhile, the trickle of Jewish refugees across the border from East Germany continues, with 52 arriving here in the past three days. The Mayor of West Berlin, Ernst Reuter, is scheduled to fly to New York this week-end.
