The grand council of the Graubunden Ganton will meet tomorrow to take final action which will release David Frankfurter from prison, it was learned today.

The release of the Yugoslav Jewish medical student, who was jailed in 1936 for assassinating Wilhelm Gustloff, Nazi leader in Switzerland, was recommended by judical authorities two weeks ago. The Swiss press is almost unanimous in urging the council to act favorably on his plea for clemency.
