LONDON—The closing of the last camp for displaced Jews in the British zone of Germany and the ending of the Jewish DP problem in the zone will take place within the next few months under an agreement arrived at between Joseph Rosensaft, chairman of the General Committee of Liberated Jews, and the Brit- ish Occupation Authorities, it was reported here Tuesday. Many of the remaining Jews will emigrate during that period. The "hard- core cases," numbering between 60 and 100, will be transferred to a hospital in the American zone where they will be cared for by the Joint Distribution Commit- tee. In the American zone it is estimated there are still between 12,000 and 15,000 displaced Jews. Bulgarian Jewry's Conditions Worsening ISTANBUL—Conditions of Jewish life in Bulgaria are worsening as a result of the economic difficulties facing the country at large, and signs of anti-Semitism again are noticeable, according to a private report received from H. Mofri, of Sofia. The report adds that Bulgarian Jews are gradually losing their contacts with Judaism under the impact of Communism. There are now some 4,500 Jews in Bulgaria, most of them in Sofia, the re- port says. With emigration at a standstill, those who remain are being absorbed within the general masses it asserts. The report states that the Jewish religion and tradition are tolerated and many Jews attend Sabbath services in the synagogues. The Chief Rabb. remains Dr. A. Hananel. Only one Jewish paper, "Evreesci Vesti," is still published and it attacks Israel and American Jews in every issue, the report says. Jews who formerly owned businesses now are employees in them and many Jews face economic difficulties, according to the report.
