The Lithuanian Government, it was learned today, is negotiating with Germany for the return to German territory of several thousand Jews from the Suwalki district of Poland who were expelled into the “no-man’s-land” on the Lithuanian frontier.

The authorities yesterday deported five refugees from Pinsk accused of conducting anti-Lithuanian propaganda in Poland.

Two hundred Jewish refugee children from Zbonszyn, who were concentrated in special schools during the war, are among the refugees in Wilno. Teachers led the children in groups of 25 through the whole war-torn route to Wilno. None of the children knows the fate of his parents.
