Another group of immigrants from the Soviet Union, this time mostly elderly people, arrived here last night from Vienna. It was the second group of immigrants from Russia within 24 hours and the fifth since last Thursday. They came from Vilna, Tzernowitz, Kovno and Riga.

The new arrivals said that more Jews in Russia have been told they will get their exit permits by may 5.
