100 Fleeing Into Spain Daily
"About 100 refugees are still crossing daily from
Nazi-held France into Spain," Sir Herbert disclosed. He
stressed the fact that the Spanish Government is not re-
turning them to France, despite the fact that they enter
Spain illegally. The acute food shortage in Spain and the
high cost of living there make it difficult, however, for
the refugees to subsist. At least three dollars a day is
needed for bare necessities by each of those refugees, the
High Commissioner stated.
Sir Herbert estimated that there are now 300 Jewish
refugee children in Spain who can emigrate to the United
States.
"Their parents are willing to part with th.em," he
said, "and the U. S. Government is prepared to give them
special consideration within the existing immigration laws
for refugees." I hope it will be possible to speed their de-
parture. I also hope that some of them will be able to
emigrate to Palestine," he declared.

Emigration Proposals for Refugees in Spain, Portugal,
North Africa
"Various proposals exist for the emigration of the
refugees .from Spain and Portugal, as well as for aiding
those in North Africa," Sir Herbert continued, emphasiz-
ing that the situation of the refugees in Portugal is less
acute than in Spain because of the liberal attitude taken
by the Portuguese authorities.

KUIBYSHEV, (JTA)—Reliable reports of Jewish
resistance to Nazis in the smaller townships in occupied
Poland where the Nazi garrisons are usually limited to a
small number of reserves reached Soviet authorities here
this week.
One report tells how Jewish women in the small town
of Lublinetz attacked German soldiers who plundered
their property, forcing them to flee the town panic
stricken. Another report relates how Jews in the township
of Adamov killed all the Nazi gendarmes. In both cases
the Jews were aided by the local non-Jewish population.
