All adults under 35 years of age have teen instructed to return to Palestine within the next few weeks. Most of the registrants, including those above 35, said they would proceed to Palestine shortly.

A Palestinian trade commission, which is planning to enter into negotiations for setting up trade agreements between the future Jewish state and Czechoslovakia, will arrive here soon, the Jewish Agency office in this city announced. Meanwhile, Czechoslovak newspaper reports on the Palestine fighting, most of which are strongly sympathetic towards the Jewish case, continue to appear daily.
