Noel Haviland Field, formerly director of the Marseilles office of the Unitarian Service Committee, arrived here today enroute to Marseilles from Geneva to investigate the situation of Jewish and other refugees who are not French citizens, in an effort to re-establish relief activities for them.

Mr. Field, who will be the first civilian refugee relief worker returning to Southern France, told the correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the Maquis, the French partisans, brought him here from the Swiss frontier through their underground railroad. The passage through provinces still held by the Germans was uneventful, he stated.
