The offices of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, closed since the occupation of Paris by the Germans, re-opened today resuming the distribution of Jewish news in the French language to newspapers, institutions and individuals.
Jewish leaders here, after being isolated from the rest of the Jewish world for more than four years, hailed the resumption of the JTA service which includes the publication in Paris of a daily news bulletin reporting on Jewish life all over the world. The bulletin will also reach Jews in Belgium, Holland, and other liberated territories.
