Brazil Bars Refugees
Whose Visas Expired

MONTEVIDO, Uruguay (JTA)
—Forty-seven Jewish refugees
who sailed from Italy for Brazil
last week landed here because
the Brazilian immigration author-
ities refused to admit them. Their
visas expired four days before
the ship on which they were
travelling put into port and the
Brazilian officials barred them
from landing.
Action has been instituted here
to revalidate their visas and pre-
vent their return to Italy where
they had assembled from various
points in Europe.
