Wilhelm Ryppel, who led an abortive “march of despair” to Palestine last Fall, will visit the United States, it was disclosed today.

The right-wing Zionist attorney has received official sanction for a motorcycle tour of the world with a hundred comrades. He intends to go to America to present the Jews with a memorandum stressing the necessity of emigration of Polish Jews to Palestine.

Ryppel still faces charges of conducting an illegal parade arising from the march he organized.
