A group of 250 Jewish immigrants from Turkey arrived here today. Several hundred immigrants whose vessels brought them into Haifa’s waters yesterday were not able to disembark because of the Shavuoth holiday. Many of the new arrivals who paid their first visit to Tel Aviv’s bathing beach today were enthusiastically greeted by the thousands of bathers.

(A Rome dispatch reported that 3,000 Jewish displaced persons from Austria and Tripolitania sailed during the week-end for Israel from the port of Bari.)
