(Special Cable to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM. (JTA).—The 240 refugee passengers who were
captured on the schooner "Orde Wingate" last week were released
Tuesday from Athlit Camp. ' The 733 passengers who were on the
"Tel Hai" will be released shortly.
Bernard Joseph, legal advisor to the Jewish Agency, told a
press conference that 3,000 certificates were deducted from the
4,500 visas which were issued for the period of the inquiry com-
mittee's investigations to cover the visaless immigrants.
With the expected withdrawal of British troops from Egypt
by May 1, Palestine may be converted into the biggest British
stronghold in the Middle East. Military authorities ,signed con-
tracts with local contractors to build huge camps in the vicinity
of Gaza. Wages are expected to amount to $4,000,000.
Haifa has nearly completed the biggest naval base in the
Mediterranean and naval supplies will be brought from Alexandria
on May 1. A radar station has been completed on Mt. Gerizim
and others are nearing completion.

The fracas started when a uniformed policeman insulted and

beat a one-legged Jew, a veteran of a concentration camp. A num-
ber. of Jewish spectators attempted to intervene. They were at-
tacked by a gang who shouted anti-Jewish slogans.
The match broke up when the players began to take part in
the melee. Knives were wielded but no one was wounded serious-
ly. A military police squad restored order. • During the fight,
many Russian soldiers who were among the spectators helped the
Jews. Earlier Hakoah matches resulted in minor difficulties, but
this was the first serious outbreak.
At a mass meeting of 600 Jews protesting the attacks David
Brill, president of the Vienna Jewish community council, asserted
that if such anti-Semitic excesses could occur while Allied troops
were still in Vienna, the situation would become more explosive
when the Allies withdrew. He charged that the Austrian Gov-
ernment was responsible for conditions in this city.
