A trainload of 1,000 Jewish refugees who fled from Poland to Austria during the past few weeks will leave Salzburg on Saturday for the American zone in Germany, it was learned here today.
This will be the first group of displaced Jews to be transferred from Austria to the American zone in Germany under an arrangement worked out by Gen. Joseph T. NcNarney, commander of the American forces in Europe, and Gen. Mark Clark, American commander in Austria. Nine thousand more displaced Jews will follow within a short time.
