Jews in Poland

P.M.: Any confirm of story of wholesale massacre?  By mass electrical methods.

A.E.: Nothg. direct: but indie that. it may be true.  Can't confirm the method. 

         Know tht. Jews are being withdrawn eg. fr. Norway and sent to Poland, for some purposes evidently. 

         Agreement reached on joint decl- prob for issue Thursday.  This commits to punishg. those responsible. 

 

II. Admission of Jewish Children from Bulgaria to Palestine

O.S.: Last month J. Agency went to H. Commr on behalf of Genl. emmigr of Jews.  That was turned down, rightly, on Govt policy.

         When Ag. came to see me they asked only on behalf of children- they seemed to realize ob to adm of adults.

         Telegrams exchanged I sugg 5.000 of wh. 500 wd. be. adult women. 

         Agreed
