The first of a series of demon- strations to mobilize Jews for mass migration to Palestine has already been held in DP camps, the story reported. Both UNRRA and European Command headquarters, as well as Jewish officials here and in Munich, have confirmed the mi- gration plans, the paper declared. A spokesman for the British Military Government in Berlin was quoted as having said: "We have expected this. It will be like the Biblical Exodus. "They can't be stopped. It's like a tide." According to reports, Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein, adviser on Jewish affairs to the U. S. commander, recently toured the American zone to inform constab- ulary commanders of the impend- ing exodus. While nallitziry law prohibits in- dividuals from crossing zonal bor- ders, both the army and German police arc unable to prevent Jews from crossing in small num- bers. There are two opinions on how the exodus should take place. One faction wants the Jews to slip out quietly in small groups and the other seeks to stage an open mass movement out of the American zone, thus posing a definite prob- lem to the American army.
