Palestine immigration certificates have been granted to the only two survivors of the S.S. Strume, which sank in the Black Sea carrying 768 Jewish refugees from Rumania to their death, it was learned here today. These two are M. Stoleru, the only survivor of the explosion, and Mrs. Salamonovitz, who was removed from the Strume to a hospital before the vessel sailed because of a grave illness connected with pregnancy.
