"From the moment the dele-
gation arrived at the Rum-an-
ian frontier station Ungheni,
they were greeted by crowds
of Jews at every station," one
report stated. "Soviet police
soon took care of that. The
delegation was henceforth for-
bidden to leave the stations
where official delegations met
them •with brass bands. But in

the music could be heard the
clamor of crowds of Jews out-
side the station who were kept
back by the police. Protests by
the Israeli delegation were of

Jews

port continued, "Soviet Jews
broke through the police cor-,

Odessa, as the crowd broke
through, someone was heard
shouting in Yiddish, above the
clamor: 'Fellow Jews, see how
