Concerned over Rumanian developments, the Association of Rumanian Jews today urgently requested the Jewish Agency for Palestine to take action to speed the removal from Rumania of 500 Jews holding Palestine immigration certificates.
Included in the 500 are 185 in the capitalist category and many veteran Zionist leaders who escaped from Bessarabia to the unoccupied portions of Bukovina.
The Jewish community, meanwhile, is seriously concerned over the disruption of telegraphic communications between Rumania and Palestine, now in its sixth day.
Many Palestine citizens have received cables from Lithuania urging because of the tension in the Baltics, immediate dispatch of immigration certificates and conclusion of transportation arrangements.
