A representative of the International Refugee Organization today stated that the Exodus refugees would be sent to the Hohne camp, near ##sen, after they are disembarked at Hamburg. Information to this effect came from ## Britioh zone. It was also reported that the Jews would be kept in closely guardcamps until their ultimate fate is decided by the authorities.

Jewish leaders here told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today that should the ##tish carry out their threat to return the Exodus refugees to Germany, there were ##rong possibilities that the displaced Jews in the DP camps in Germany “would not ##intain discipline.” Although asserting that they would attempt to control the ##ws, DP leaders expressed grave fears that they would not be able to do so.
