The Federation of Jewish Relief Organizations made a last-minute change today in procedures for sending matzoh to Russia because of administrative regulations at the receiving end.
The matzoh was to be sent today and Wednesday by regular air mail instead of air charter or air freight, as had been originally planned. The regular air mail is consider ably more expensive than the originally planned means of shipment.
The parcels in the last consignment of 1, 000 pounds will be shipped to Moscow, Leningrad, Tiflis and Vilna and should arrive in those cities in time for use during Passover. Total shipments will be 10, 000 pounds.
