a South American tour with
words of high praise for Bra-
zil's "warm and generous recep-
tion to refugees fleeing from
Communism and anti-Jewish
persecution."
He reported that since Jan. 1
more than 3,300 Jewish refugees
from Hungary and Egypt have
found haven in South America.
Of this total, some 2,300 or
nearly three-quarters have set-
tled in Brazil with sizable num-
bers of Hungarian emigrants
also taking refuge in Argentina
and Chile.
On his continent-wide survey
of Jewish refugee needs and
services, Leavitt found that the
newcomers appeared to have
made a rapid economic and so-
cial adjuitment.
Leavitt stressed particularly
the role played by Brazilian
President Juscelino Kutischek
and his Immigration Depart-
ment in accepting the refugees.
In addition, he noted, all sec-
tions of the local Jewish com-
munity have united in welcom-
ing and caring for the new-
comers.
