The writer, Poliakov-Litovtzev, and Ossip Bernstein, a chess champion, who were in Marseille preparing to emigrate to the United States, have been sent to compulsory residence at Ciotat, near Marseille, it was learned here today.
Poliakov-Litovtzev was one of those arrested in the police round-up of foreign Jews, but was released last week after a brief period of detention. He is of Russian origin and has a Nansen “stateless” passport.
(A dispatch of an American news agency incorrectly reported that Vladimir Poliskov, foreign affairs expert who writes under the name “Augur” had been sent to Ciotat.)
