Quanza, via New York, among a party of 100 Jewish refugees en route to Mexico, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, 50 of whom were assisted to emigrate by the HIAS-ICA Emigration Association.

Herbert Katzki, of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, has returned to Lisbon after a survey of the position of Jews in unoccupied France. Bernard Melamed, secretary of the HIAS-ICA, is shortly proceeding to London.
