The Rumanian Government will no longer permit representatives of the Jewish Agency to participate in the selection of the Jews who emigrate from Rumania to Israel, it was learned here today.
The first group of emigrants selected by the Rumanian authorities for Israel without the participation of Agency officials included a large number of sick and aged Jews. It is believed that from now on it will be more difficult for younger people to leave the country no matter how long they have been registered for emigration to the Jewish state.
