The Soviet Jewish delegation now en route to the United States from Kuibyshev paused briefly at an undisclosed Palestine airfield yesterday. The delegation consists of Solomon Mikhoels, noted actor, and the poet Itzik Feffer.
While their plane was refueling, Mr. Mikhoels, who is president of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in Russia, phoned the Habimah theatre in Tel Aviv, promising to pay a more extended visit to Palestine on his return trip.
