Freeze Bank Accounts
Of Jews Quitting Iraq

The 300 immigrants who ar-
rived at Lydda Airport in the
first direct Bagdad - Lydda
flights of the Bagdad airlift,
came without even a change
of clothes. They reported that
their luggage was seized at the
Bagdad airport and they were
permitted to leave only in the
clothes they wore.
They reported that during the
last few days Jews have been
attacked by mobs in the streets
of Bagdad and that Jewish shops
in the clothing bazaar were com-
pletely looted. Jewish shops in
other quarters were pillaged as
well.
In every case where the police
were called, they said, they came
long after the mobs had swept
on and after the damage had
been done.
Jews are not allowed on the
streets of Bagdad carrying par-
cels, the refugees reported. Any
Jew carrying a parcel is immed-
iately picked up by the police
and detained pending investiga-
tion whether he is an Iraqi Na-
tional or has forfeitted Iraqi
nationality by registering for
emigration. If the latter, he is
immediately thrown into prison
to await trial on charges of try-
ing to dispose of his property.
The central prison in Bag-
dad is reported to hold several
hundred Jews arrested in this
way and held without even a
preliminary investigation.
The refugees came in six
planes. They were immediately
taken to the Shaar Haaliya
Camp, near Haifa. While con-
cerned about the property they
had left behind them, they ex-
pressed fear about relatives and
friends still in Iraq.
The Bagdad-Israel airlift is
now operating at the rate of
about 10 ; 000 passengers monthly.
Efforts are being made by the
Jewish Agency, which is hand-
ling the transfer of Iraqi Jews,
to step up the rate to 20,000
monthly. The Iraqi government
has established a May 31 dead-
line for the emigration of Jews.

Hans
NEW YORK, (JTA)
Lenk, a 60-year-old Jewish vet-
eran of Bataan, and a survivor
of the infamous "death march,"
pinned his hopes on Congress
for permission to remain in this
country and become an Ameri-
can citizen. The former Czech-
oslovak citizen, who fled from
Hitler to the Philippines, joined
the U.S. Army, together with his
brother, after Pearl Harbor.
After the war, during which
his brother was killed, Lenk was
refused permission to come to
the United States because he
had. contracted tuberculosis in a
Japanese prison camp. With
Presidential permission, how-
ever, he was permitted to come
to the U. S. in 1949, but was
shipwrecked in Okinawa. The
TB flared -up again and he was
admitted for treatment to the
National Jewish Hospital at
Denver. Now, discharged from
the hospital, Lenk must either

LONDON, (JTA)—The Iraqi
Parliament has passed a bill
freezing the property and
bank accounts of Jews de-
prived of their Iraqi nation-
ality, according to reports
from Bagdad. A number of
Jews have surrendered their
Iraqi nationality at their own
request in accordance with a
law passed last March, au-
thorizing Jews to leave the
country if they wished.
Under the new bill, a for-
eign property commission
would take charge of the
property of the 100,000 Jews
who, up to Friday, had lost
their Iraqi nationality at their
own request. Some 30,000 of
these Jews have left for Is-
rael, the remaining 70,000 are
awaiting an airlift to the
Jewish state and 25,000 Jews
remain as Iraqi nationals.
