The names of Emanuel Neumann of New York and Heschel Farbstein of Poland, both members of the Jewish Agency Executive in Jerusalem, are prominently linked with the reported lease of Transjordan land to Jews, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learns.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency understands that Mr. Neumann and Mr. Farbstein have visited the Emir several times recently. Both Agency representatives consider it premature to issue a statement at this time.
