The HIAS-ICA Emigration Association today received word from its office in Lithuania that travel agencies in Wilno and Kaunas had discontinued sale of tickets for travel abroad to refugees from Poland between the ages of 18 and 50. Even persons with visas for Palestine were having difficulty in emigrating, being obliged to traverse several countries to reach embarkation ports in Trieste, Marseille or Constanza.
