Some 20 Iraqi Jewish students at the University of California here may be stranded financially because of the anti-Jewish policy of the Iraq Government. The students, all of whom have been receiving allowances from their families at home, have had their funds cut off by the new Iraqi decree forbidding Jews to send money out of the country.

The students are all here on students’visas, which means they are not allowed to work for a living or apply for public assistance. None of them wishes to return to Iraq because of anti-Semitic excesses there.
