Jewish POW's
Returned to Israel
JERUSALEM--(MNB)—Lining
the streets of Jerusalem, crowds
enthusiastically greeted the last
contingent of Jewish prisoners-
of-war released early this month
from prison camps in Mafrak,
Transjordan.
The ex-POW's, who had num-
bered 600, drove up to the Jes-
hurun Synagogue where they
ceremoniously turned over their
Sefer Torah to Synagogue of-
ficials.
Among the former POW's were
seven defenders of the destroyed
religious colony Kfar Etzion, and
the Old City of Jerusalem. They
were welcomed by the Chief
Rabbis, the Synagogue wardens,
and the military Rabbinate of
the Jerusalem area.
TEL AVIV—(Palcor)—Al Ham-

Party, declared that the anti-
Zionist policies adopted recently
in Romania and Hungary "do not
shake our faith in the Soviet Un-
ion and the Peoples Democra-
cies." The paper warned how-
ever, that these policies are
"harmful to the interests of those
countries and to socialism."
The paper feels that Israel has
a right to demand the free emi-
gration of Jews from eastern
European countries and the con-
tinued operation of "progressive
Zionism" there. We shall continue
