(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
One thousand Jewish families, classed among the nonproletarians who were evicted from their hornes by an order of the Soviet authorities in Moscow, face a desperate situation as the bitter Russian winter approaches.
Several Jewish families who arrived here front Moscow and who were among those evicted related that the victims considered the eviction order equivalent to a death sentence, since it is impossible for them to obtain housing accommodations. They are not even able to rent a furnished room as the tenants subletting such rooms would thus bring about their own eviction.
