Thirty-one Polish Jews, stranded in India en route to Palestine, are facing expulsion from that country, Polish-Jewish circles here were informed today in a cable received from the Jewish Relief Organization in Bombay.
The Polish Jews arrived here from Kobe, Japan, after a tortuous journey through Burma. They had transit visas for India and consequently were granted permission to stay in the country temporarily, pending receipt of Palestine immigration certificates. These certificates have not been received as yet and the temporary residence permits are expiring, the Bombay Jewish group cabled.
It urged Polish Jewish leaders to intervene with the Polish Government-in-exile here to allot to the Jewish refugees, through its officials in India, residence permits which have been placed at the disposal of the Polish authorities by the Indian Government.
