In spite of the recommendation made by Chief Magistrate Curry here that nine Russian Jews, including two girls, who were arrested in Wadi Hawarith as illegal immigrants and sentenced to imprisonment, be allowed to remain in the country on the expiration of their jail terms, they were deported by police on the Greek vessel Kerkyra today. Other deportees on the same boat were thirty-two Polish Jewish girls, who were arrested near Capernaum, and three men.
