British officials here have drawn the attention of the Swedish Government to a small vessel which they believe will be used to transport visaless Jewish immigrants to Palestine, the press reported today.

The British emphasized that they fear that the vessel, the 600-ton San Basilio, will sail from Gothenberg to pick up the refugees at another European port. The San Bseilio is registered under no flag.
