Cyprus Escapes Tells Tale of Refugee Ship To Group of Zionists

"Between 750 and 1000 illegal refugees enter Palestine each month," Arthur Bernstein, mate of the blockade-running ship Chaim Arlossoreff told a meeting of the Harvard-Radcliffe Zionist Society last night.

Introduced by Barry Golomb '46, chairman of the society's political action committee, Bernstein told the story of the Arlossoreff from its sailing in the U. S. to its capture by the British. He disclosed that most refugees, though Palestine bound, expect to be interned in Cyprus. "They think you are pulling their leg when you tell them you will land in Palestine," he said.

Before Bernstein spoke, Golomb urged members to telegraph Secretary Marshall endorsing the majority report of the special U. N. committee on Palestine.
