More than 100 Yeshiva students, rabbis and orthodox Jews today marched through the main street of this city to the Wailing Wall, protesting against the alleged failure of the Jewish Agency to provide religious training for the child refugees being brought here from Europe.

Demanding orthodox religious education for all Jewish children in Palestine, and especially those brought here from abroad by the Youth Aliyah, the demonstrators prayed before the Wailing Wall. Orthodox spokesmen complained that only a small number of the youthful refugees have been placed in their institutions.
