Emigration of Jews from Iraq to Israel will continue after July 1 despite declarations by Iraqi officials that emigration would cease by June 30, Jewish Agency sources indicated today.

The New York Times reported from Beirut that Dr. Saleh Haydar, deputy director of the Iraqi National Bank, had told the Arab News Agency that the exodus of Jews from Iraq will have an adverse effect on the Iraqi economy.
