The British Government has consented to grant Palestine immigration visas for Jews in addition to the quota allocated for the interim period during which the Anglo-American Inquiry Committee is preparing its report, it was revealed at a press conference here today.
The conference was addressed by David Remez, one of the 15 Jewish leaders who just completed a hunger strike in protest against the detention of the La Spezia refugees. Remez arrived here this morning from Jerusalem where physicians at Hadassah Hospital declared that the health of the participants in the hunger strike had not been impaired, but all must rest at least four days.
The dusk-to-dawn curfew on Palestine roads which was imposed on Feb. 26 was lifted as of dawn today. The curfew was imposed following an attack on a Royal Air Force airfield in which aircraft were destroyed or damaged.
