The United Nations Special Committee on Palestine ## informed today that the Jews in Rumania are living in fear of mounting anti-semitism in the country, that thousands of them exist solely on relief which they receive from the Joint Distribution Committee, and that a large number of Rumanian ## consider emigration to Palestine as the only solution to their problem.

The information was contained in a joint memorandum sent to UNSCOP by the Jewish Party of Rumania, the Zionist Organization of Rumania, the Union of Rumanian Jews and the Rumanian section of the World Jewish Congress.
