Easterman, political director of the World Jewish Congress, will leave Paris tomorrow for Morocco where he will confer with Moroccon and Jewish leaders on the possibility of a resumption of emigration of Moroccon Jews who desire to leave the country. In the past few months the Moroccon authorities have brought Jewish emigration to a virtual standstill.

World Jewish Congress president Dr. Nahum Coldmann is due in London January 17 to hold conferences with local Jewish leaders in advance of the opening of a meeting of the Congress in Rome at the end of this month.
