763 JEWISH REFUGEES FROM NINE
COUNTRIES ARRIVE IN PALESTINE
JERUSALEM (Palcor) —Jew-
ish Palestine gave a stirring wel-
come on Friday to 763 Jewish
refugees from nine countries in
Eastern and Southern Europe,
the Balkans and the Middle East.
571 refugees came from Italy and
consisted of persons who had
fled eight Nazi-dominated coun-
tries, most hailing from Yugo-
slavia, Czechoslovakia and Po-
land, and including a party of
refugees who had been ship-
wrecked off Rhodes, en route to
Palestine in 1940 and had since
spent three years, on the move
from one concentration camp to
another. A group of 198 Yemen-
ite Jewish refugees, who were
stranded in Aden for several
years awaiting immigration cer-
tificates to Palestine, joined the
larger group in Egypt where
they boarded the same train for
the Jewish National Homeland.
Jewish Palestine's representa-
tives, who arranged the journey,
told of touching scenes when
these brethren, speaking many
tongues, dressed in variegated
garb, but sharing Li common
destiny and bearing tales of in-
effable sufferings, made their first
contact on the train.
At the first station in Pales-
tine, the train was met by fes-
tive thousands, including several
hundred members of Jewish Pal-
estine's military units. The new
arrivals were greeted by Moshe
Shertok, chief of the political de-
partment of the Jewish Agency
for Palestine; Moshe Shapiro,
deputy member of the Jewish
Agency Executive in charge of
immigration, and representatives
of the immigrants associations.
The waiting crowds tossed flow-
ers and gifts through the open
windows of the cars, decorated
with Jewish flags and blue-and-
white bunting, and forced boxes
of candy into the arms of the
refugees descending from the
train. There were huggings and
joyful tears and impromptu danc-
ing on the station platform as
relatives and strangers embraced
and as the thousands formed hu-
man rings within human rings
and danced Jewish Palestine's
"official" dance, the Hora.
The newcomers spoke with
high pfaise and profound grati-
tude of the assistance extended
to them by British and American

especially the lengths to which
Jewish Palestine's units went to
provide for them. "They were
our saviours," the refugees said
of the Jewish Palestine volun-
teers with the British forces.
All new arrivals were taken to
the Atlith Clearance Camp, for
a final checkup of documents and
health before they were to be
released.

The Iranian people, the report

Freiman Mourned by
American Zionists
WASHINGTON, D. C.— News
of the death in Canada of Archi-
bald J. Freiman, founder and for
24 years president of the Zionist
Organization of Canada, was re-
ceived with deep sorrow in Ameri-
can Zionist circles. In a message
wired to Canadian Zionists, Dr.
Israel Goldstein, president of the
Zionist Organization of America,
declared that the deceased, who
was "inextricably linked with the
founding and growth of the Zion-
ist movement in the Dominion,
was a leading spirit and guide in
the international effort for safe-
guarding the rights of the Jew-
ish people everywhere."
Reviewing the role which the
late Canadian Zionist head played
in Zionist affairs, Dr. Goldstein
asserted that "he was instru-
mental in solidifying the solidar-
ity and cooperation between the
Zionists of the U. S. A. and
Canada, as demonstrated by his
frequent participation in our
councils and conventions where
the wisdom of his counsel and his
practical approach to problems
left an indelible imprint."
Dr. Goldstein continued: "The
late Mr. Freiman has given of
his energies and treasures unstint-
ingly to the welfare of his suf-
fering people and the restoration
of Zion which he has made a creed
of his life. Under his direction,
Zionism in Canada grew into the
most potent force in Jewish life.
Held in high esteem by all sec-
tions of Canadian people, he com-
manded the hearing of Canadian
Government leadership, winning
for the Zionist movement invalu-
able public support.
"His passing will be especially
acutely felt by entire Jewish peo-
ple in this time of trial and trib-
ulation. His record of service to
his people and to Palestine, and
in the field of Hebrew culture, will
constitute an eternal monument to
his memory."
